    Summary

    The Fantastic Four trace stolen medical equipment to the hideout of the gymnast turned criminal mastermind, Scrimshaw. In addition to the stolen goods, they find a young woman with incomplete memories who claims to be a version of Scrimshaw from another dimension. She isn't, not quite. They take her in, nonetheless.

    Or, Barley has nothing she can call her own. Not her own memories, not her own body. She's a clone, created to be the perfect organ donor for the supervillain Scrimshaw. When she takes advantage of an attack on the hideout to escape, she runs into the arms of the Fantastic Four. The problem? She's sure that if she tells them what she really is, they'll finish what Scrimshaw started and render her down for parts.

    Summary

    Накануне Дня Прогресса второкурсник Виктор сидит в библиотеке ночью и чертит конкурсный проект. У него не очень хорошо обстоят дела с общением с другими студентами - зато очень хорошо с механикой. Но сегодня и это ему не помогает: Виктор не учёл в своих расчётах разницу между плотностью воздуха в его родном Зауне и Пилтовере. Опаздывая домой до закрытия моста между городами, он решает пойти развеяться, но натыкается на оставленный в библиотеке кем-то другим незаконченный проект.

    The rest is history.

    Что ещё будет в этой истории, кроме физики (и лирики), химии (между Виктором и Джейсом) и механики (земной и небесной)?
    Увидим!

    Summary

    For Elizabeth Harper, the universe has always made sense through equations and logic. She is the girl who finds order in chaos, who believes every problem has a solution. But the heart of Clark Kent—her best friend and childhood neighbor—is a chaotic variable she cannot solve. When he asks for help to win over Lana Lang, Beth agrees, disguising her own desire for Clark under the logical pretext of applying a 'scientific method' to the problem, treating their kisses as a controlled experiment. The result, however, is an explosion of data she cannot predict: primitive jealousy, buried secrets, and an attraction that defies any law of physics. It is a journey about a girl who tries to control the uncontrollable, only to discover that the most powerful—and devastating—emotions are those that defy any formula.

    Summary

    His natural instincts were something Louis was deeply familiar with. He had been since his was small. He knew the feeling of fear. Of adrenaline. Of terror. It felt different. It was how he could stand to sleep in a lion's den or allow a friend to devour his leg without a second thought. That didn't scare him. They didn't. And neither did she. Not really. If she wanted to taste him, he'd let her.

    Summary

    And he wondered, did they share that same view? How was it that they did what they did— the time they met? He'd let up his own space, warily enough. Were they scared too? He remembered one time when Regect said himself that Ze had scared him at one point.

    A hand let up in front of him, and he couldn't bother himself to take it— clenching his wrist on the separate pads of his thighs instead.

    --

    Alternatively, Ze mopes in a distant corner and mulls over his life choices as of late, while Regect and Moe explore that crater Ze created in targeting that poor pirate

    Summary

    "Yeah, yeah – laugh all you want. I see you’re still making fun of us older people,” Eddie drawls out as he leans his arms on the roof of the car, lowering his head to look at him. The t-shirt underneath his leather jacket is riding up, showing a trail of dark hair disappearing beneath the jeans.

    Steve’s not laughing anymore.

    “See you, Munson,” Steve says, lifting his gaze a second too late; he knows Eddie has seen his eyes linger. Eddie pats the roof twice in goodbye and slams the door shut, sauntering towards the trailer.

    “Was that just me, or...” Vickie whispers.

    “Yep,” Robin interjects. “Could cut the tension with a fucking knife.”

    Steve squeezes his eyes shut, groaning.

    Don’t start, Robin.”

    Or: Steve Harrington moves to Hawkins, trading his parents' empty mansion for a rental and a job at the local repair shop. He's looking for peace and quiet. Instead, he hires Eddie Munson as a mover, steals his rings, and learns that sometimes, finding balance requires embracing a little chaos.

    Summary

    Light Yagami, an esteemed son with exceptional talents, extraordinary charm, and a model face - all of which faired him very well when wriggling out of his prior difficulties. Enviable as his various, deific attributes were—supreme intelligence, incredible beauty—unfortunately for him, he was stuck to the confines of a very human body, with very human wrists. Therefore handcuffs, were one hurdle where his wriggling abilities faltered.
    A hurdle that would be met with more protest, if it were anyone but L, withholding the key.

    Summary

    jungwon was normal, maybe even above the average person. okay who are we kidding jungwon was exceptional: top of his class, head boy, a steady shoulder to his 'acquittances', black belt in taekwondo, slim and just pretty. but we all have our flaws, no?
    jay was normal too. did well in the classes that mattered (to him..), fit in every aspect, mind & heart of gold and a tendency to pull out the nasty, flawed weeds that bloom in the ridges, hidden away. perhaps even the nooks of a certain someone's brain too.
