Summary
These were the best days he had ever lived. When he had gathered the courage to peek outside and swim a little while being extremely cautious, he noticed two big crabs already dead resting on the ground.
That was not many days before he understood the situation: he was clearly feeding on someone else’s scraps. He had even smelt the Burnt-Strong-Stone-Warm smell belonging to the individual one day.
There’s no hiding that he obviously panicked at first, then, when he got calmer he tried to assess the situation he was in: to him, it was obvious that this scent belonged to a strong and big volcanic siren.
Maybe, if he ate a little more and took advantage of the lack of presence of the other individual near the cave, he could stay a little more? Just a little. But still, that was always better than dying from hunger. The siren wouldn’t even want to find him, as they clearly had previously shown no interest in him until now, right?–
or; a small siren learns what care is after living in an abusive pod :) -

He stepped forward, knowing damn well of the eyes on his neck. They pulled the crown off of his head, to hell with it. The gold snapped easily in his hands, and maybe that could be some sort of metaphor. How easily the authority snapped in his hands.

Summary
“Despite your impudent tone, I have decided to spare you.”
Derlord blinked.
“I shall not take your life.”
Sorry, what?
“You have my word.”
The King flicked his hand, gesturing towards the gate behind the knight. A sincere promise, and yet, the mirthful tone of his voice implied it was anything but one.
“And close the gate as you leave. There is a draft.”

Summary
“In what?” Katsuki prompted, his voice dropping into a soft, teasing whisper that brushed against the silence like velvet. He stepped closer, his chest nearly brushing Shouto’s hero tactical gear.
Shouto blinked, his gaze still anchored to the rounded, golden loaf as he processed the linguistic trap. “A bun…in the oven?” he answered slowly, the words sounding more like a tentative question than a firm conclusion.
Or; The plan was simple: a loaf of bread, a clever hint, and a life-changing secret.
The reality: Shouto is incredibly dense, Katsuki is incredibly hormonal, and the revelation of their new future is a lot more tear-stained than Katsuki intended.

Summary
He smells of so much – of forest and grass and sunlight, of pine needles and sap and bark, but also of cigarettes and beer, of cinnamon and thyme – and Roman wishes he knew if Peter tastes the same way, too. If his blood is as sweet as the maple syrup he had for breakfast, if his flesh carries the same hint of smoke and tobacco as his hair does, if his heart would still beat when Roman pressed his lips to it.

Roman can't stop thinking about Peter's body. Once he dares to ask for it, Peter gives him a piece of himself.

The Taste of You: The Series by HoangHoa

Summary
Ten thousand forms, a thousand flavors, one singular obsession.
The Taste of You follows the frenzied sensory journey of Huang Xing. Traversing countless universes, he shifts through infinite forms to hunt and devour the soul of Qiu Ding Jie. Each story serves as a completely unique "menu," where Qiu Ding Jie is cast into world-settings that are as brutal as they are breathtaking.
The entire series is structured like a classic Fine Dining Set Menu: every 5 chapters form a complete culinary experience—starting from the stimulation of the Appetizer, moving to the explosion of the Main Course, and lingering with the sweet aftertaste of Dessert.
By weaving together the worlds of gastronomy and fine art, flavor and color, I hope each chapter offers you a sensory experience that is both rich and... haunting.
Come and discover your favorite "dish" within this diverse "menu"! 🥰🥰🥰

Summary
Isabelle ( Bells ) Hann thought she had her life perfectly mapped out: a prestigious role at tech consultancy Larssens Ltd, an engagement to the generationally wealthy Theodore Watson, and a future built on safety and respectability.
But her carefully constructed world begins to unravel around one man: her predatory, dangerously handsome boss, Jude Larssen. Once dubbed "the British Steve Jobs in the making" by City AM, his razor-sharp mind and ruthless instincts have kept Bells orbiting him like a moth to a flame for three years.
When Jude manipulates a high-stakes dinner with the CEO of Japanese conglomerate Yamamoto Industries, claiming he and Bells are engaged (using Theo's ring as a prop, naturally) in order to win the deal of a lifetime, three years of simmering professional tension ignite into something far more volatile.
Drawn deeper into his web of corporate machinations, possible fraud and psychological games, Bells begins to discover that the line between manipulation and desire is thinner than she ever dared to admit.
Two people who use sex as a weapon, love as leverage, and each other as collateral damage. A story about obsession, predation, manipulation and desire.

Summary
你陷入愛的河，希望和愛人留呆在愛巢，任何阻礙你和愛人的間缝就是障礙你，或追愛過程中的艱難悉數歸咎於世界的錯誤和錯過，世界從未改變只是你變了你陷入熱愛中看不清世界原本的樣子，也陷入盲妄之中遮蔽了萬事萬物，停滯的人類一直在用自己的情感自渡世上一切，我悲世暗我喜世光，世界本黑也本白，不好亦不壞，你在愛中也失去了探索更多你不知道世界的可能，愛亦有好有壞。
Introduction
You have fallen into the river of love, longing to remain forever with your beloved in that love-nest. Any crevice that stands between you and your lover is perceived as an obstacle; you blame the world’s errors and missed chances for every hardship in your pursuit. The world has never changed; it is only you who have changed. Drowned in passion, you can no longer see the world as it truly is, blinded by delusions that shroud all things. Stagnant humans have always used their own emotions to navigate the world's tides: "The world is dark because I am sorrowful; the world is bright because I am joyful." The world is inherently both black and white, neither good nor evil. In love, you lose the possibility of exploring the unknown reaches of existence. Love, after all, is both a blessing and a bane.- Language:

Summary
Shane would promise him, every night. They would buy their own house, eat burgers again, go to arcades and restaurants, travel the world; they would be happy, someday. Ilya let him most of the time and simply held him close. He didn’t ask why there was a stain of blood on his shirt, or why Shane held him throughout the night as if he was saying a farewell.
