    Summary

    When seventeen-year-old Touya Todoroki is brought into the precinct after a late-night incident, he expects the usual: paperwork, judgment, and being turned back out onto the street once no one claims him.

    Detectives Shouta Aizawa and Hizashi Yamada don’t expect much either—just another delinquent kid with a bad attitude and worse prospects.

    Except Touya isn’t what the file suggests.

    He’s sharp, guarded, exhausted in a way that has nothing to do with sleep. He doesn’t ask for help. He doesn’t trust it. Every word out of his mouth is a challenge, every silence a defense.

    Yamada recognizes the patterns immediately. He’s seen them before—in himself, years ago, back when trouble was easier than asking to be understood. Aizawa, slower to judge, slower still to care, begins to realize something far more unsettling than guilt or innocence:

    This isn’t a bad kid.

    This is a kid who learned too early that no one was coming.

    Set in a modern, no-quirks AU, this is a slow-burn, multi-chapter story about authority, anger, and the quiet, deliberate choice to not look away.Also Aizawa and Yamada are cops in the juvenile division.

    Summary

    Sirius Potter, firstborn of the Chosen One, is about to become Hogwarts’ first Squib student in history whether the rest of the wizarding world likes it or not.

    He’s got both nepotism and genuine talent on his side, along with his huge, chaotic, loving family, including best friend Scorpius Malfoy, who’s always been a little odd, a little intense, and hopelessly in love with him despite the fact that their fathers got married a few years ago.

    Things only go awry when Scorpius, typical social pariah, becomes popular (Quidditch Captain, Head Boy, Slug Club favourite, future Animagus) and suddenly discovers he’s much happier as a beast than he ever was as a boy.

    “His father got Dark Lords and murdered classmates; Sirius Potter got a platinum blonde step-brother with undiagnosed autism.”

    In short: Scorpius is lovesick and dramatic, so naturally he makes it EVERYONE’S problem.

    Summary

    After the blackout, Hawkins doesn’t heal so easily. The town is cracked open, the Party is scattered, and the monsters everyone tries not to name are still out there, waiting. Between nights shared on a mattress by the heater, bike rides through broken streets and plans whispered over walkie‑talkies, the kids of Hawkins are pulled back together for one last fight —against the things that crawled out of the Upside Down, and the ones that have been growing quietly in their own hearts.

    Summary

    In a world filled with mythical beings and magic, Maomao is finding her place. The La Clan is one of the few families that come from a long line of magic-users. As a sorceress with a penchant for healing magic, she struggles with the fact that all living beings have an expiration date.

    As her power grows—defying the natural order—she begins to draw the attention of others who are intrigued by what she can do. After she accepts a role as an imperial mage, working directly under the Crown Prince, she finds herself having to navigate a web of court politics and treasonous plotting.

    She never expected her greatest ally would be the elven prince, and he never expected someone could be so irresistibly fascinating to him. As their love blossoms, a dark evil looms. Maomao was warned there would be tribulations but nothing could have prepared her for the truth.

    Rated explicit for violence and eventual smut.

    Summary

    Mara Zorić comes back to Cascade Ridge expecting nothing more than quiet nights and a summer to breathe.

    Then a firefighter pulls her out of traffic — and looks at her like she’s something worth saving.

    Nate Mercer is all instinct and restraint, protective without meaning to be, gentle without trying — the kind of man who makes breathing suddenly complicated. What starts as an uneasy friendship slowly tightens into something warmer, closer, and far harder to leave behind.

    They weren’t supposed to get close.
    They definitely weren’t supposed to fall.

    But small towns have a way of turning quiet into tension — and tension into fire.

    A slow-burn, aching first-love romance about grief, healing, and the people who teach us how to begin again.

    Summary

    Karen was nervous. She often was about her children, worried they’ll turn out cruel like their father or marry too young like her. The latest subject of her worry was Mike.

    Mike was tired. She could tell it wasn’t the normal teenage staying up too late tired. It was a bone deep ache for rest, it was obvious through the way he moved the food around on his plate and the way he seemed to ghost around the house.

    (Or Karen’s POV throughout the years as she tries to comfort her son.)

    Summary

    Basketball was in her blood, but LaMelo Ball made her want to set the whole damn court on fire.

    Theresa Young doesn't play games. She runs things quietly from the sidelines, calling shots behind the camera while the league watches her brother light up the court. Her situationship with Jalen Johnson? Chill. Uncomplicated. Safe.

    But when Charlotte's finest shows up with that cocky grin and too much swagger for one man, everything changes.

    LaMelo Ball is all attitude and bad timing. He gets under her skin-then under her guard. What starts as petty jabs and passive glances turns into something hotter, heavier, harder to ignore.

    Now Jalen's noticing. LaMelo's circling. And Theresa's stuck between the boy who never claimed her and the one who might just ruin her carefully built peace.

    The pressure's building. The season's heating up. And some fouls don't get called until it's too late.

    Summary

    Lucas wondered if there would be a day he stopped expecting Max to be sitting up, gazing back at him as he slipped into her hospital room. As the months crawled on, he wondered if one day, it’d be normal. Her, not having moved an inch. Her fiery hair limp against the pillow. Her eyes closed.

    It’s Christmas. It’s been months. He still thinks maybe, just maybe, he’ll see her blue eyes staring back at him.

    He’s almost ashamed he has to rattle out a breath when they don’t.

    “Hey Max,” he says, the snap of the door closing as familiar a punctuating noise as her heart monitor, “Merry Christmas.”

    OR

    Lucas and Max have a (mostly) quiet Christmas.
