Summary
(Jean Kirstein x fem reader) Slowburn.
When a disoriented Marleyan girl ends up stranded on Paradis, Jean Kirstein makes a split-second choice that changes everything: hide her. Not out of kindness, but out of survival. Jean doesn't trust the stranger who fell out of the sky, and she doesn't trust him, his weird bird-jacket regiment, or his "patrol cabin" that is absolutely just a shed. But when her identity raises questions neither of them can answer, keeping her hidden becomes just as dangerous as letting her go.
Forced proximity, accidental softness, found family chaos, and a slow unraveling of everything they thought they knew, all while dodging curious Scouts, political fallout, and feelings neither wants to name.
Attack on Titan meets Crash Landing on You in a romance built on misunderstandings, cultural clash, and the terrifying possibility that your enemy might be human after all.

Summary
For months, Kim Namjoon has been vanishing into a quiet, familiar void. Kim Seokjin has been watching him go.
One is trapped in the paralyzing gravity of depression. The other is quietly preparing for war. This is not a story about being saved. It's about the brutal, practical, and relentless architecture of care—the siege you mount when the person you love is lost inside themselves.

Summary
写了太久了的星露谷同人小说，自我满足之作。
写了四十多章发现自己真的很能流水账。五十多章了，再继续下去可以支援灌溉系统。
由于开始写的时候游戏还没有中文版，登场人物的名字皆为英文。
说不定日后会放出翻得稀烂的自制英文版。作者攻受混乱，届时请参照tag自卫规避。
Rating·T（Teens and up)。 -

Sometimes January doesn't realise how he's feeling until River puts it into words for him. This is one of those times.
He's lost so much.
He wants gravity back.

Summary
According to one of the Greek myths, a poet called Orpheus descended into the very depths of hell to recover what he loved, risking at the same time everything he had. According to the Bible, however, everything needs a sacrificial Lamb.
The action takes place in post-canon after season 2 and the story “Of swans, feathers and Stars”So… Here we go again! I welcome you all once again – this is a continuation of “Of swans, feathers and stars”, which you will find on my profile. Without it it will be hard to understand what is happening, so I refer those who have not read the previous part :D
I also remind you about the playlist on Spotify, which helps me create in this universe –

Summary
I’m tired. I’m always tired. I’m tired of trying to explain myself. I’m tired of trying to do everything everyone else does. I’m tired of trying to fit into a society made for someone who isn’t anything like me. I just want to rest. I just want to be somewhere safe…
When I went on this walk to clear my head, I didn’t think I’d be walking into a little cave. I didn’t think I’d be imagining a world where I don’t have to worry about so much, and then tripping and falling. The nothing is scary, and I felt myself call out to someone, someone who wants a safe place, too. Someone who will help me make one.
*this is my first fic, it’s gonna be all papyrus, and I hope it'll be okay lol

Draw Me Carefully, Worship Me Softly by the_untamed_poet25
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)

Summary
The first line is a straight stroke down his sternum.
The second curves out, delicate, to the arc of his ribs.
Kaeya draws like he’s afraid of permanence. Like he’s trying to teach the charcoal restraint. Like each touch is a question posed to a man who never answers until the last page of the book. He draws ribs, not bones but wings. Traces breath, not lungs but song. He follows the curve of Albedo’s collarbone like it’s the horizon line of something sacred, smudging with intention, letting the black seep beneath his fingernails.
“You’re still not moving,” Kaeya murmurs.
“I don’t want to miss any detail,” Albedo replies, eyes fixed on Kaeya’s face. “Every breath would alter the line.”
“You trust me that much?”
Albedo tilts his chin. “I trust you to draw me cruelly if you need to. And worshipfully if you don’t.”
Or, Kaeya learns that reverence doesn’t mean restraint. It means wanting, fully, and still choosing to stay.

Summary
A slow-burn, emotionally layered dark fantasy set in a bioluminescent mire, haunted by the choices of a fallen empire. A land so tangled by rumors, its very name spoken like fable: Kymera.
Spiders crawl through the in-between, slipping through the cracks of reality. Grass hums your name before pulling you beneath the mud, muffled screams to never be heard. And somewhere between it all, the specter of a pale-beastman haunting the woods, wielding nature as blades. The land made mythical, horrific in its beauty.
Cael runs from his past, pursued by hands that would see him caged and sold. Straight into Kymera, and into the domain of a reclusive fox mage who clearly didn’t ask for this, nor the trouble that followed.
There’s no grand prophecy. No chosen one. Just a mage, his apprentice, and a world that would consume them both without blinking.
