    Summary

    Akito Shinonome is a disgruntled homicide detective who stays up way too late working cases, and the office coffee machine is now broken.

    Toya Aoyagi works the night shift at the only coffee shop nearby that's open at 3am.

    Maybe it's nice to take a break sometimes and make a new friend.

    Summary

    Four years ago, Osamu was convinced he was on the verge of a new beginning, but a sudden phone call took everything away from him in an instant, leaving him suspended in a life that, from that moment on, has continued only on the surface while everything inside him came to a standstill. Since then, he has filled his days with repetitive gestures and increasingly deep silences, avoiding anything that might bring that pain back, until something impossible happens and a person he believed to be lost reappears in front of him as if time had never passed. However, that presence does not recognize him and remembers nothing of what they once were, and this reopens wounds that had never truly healed, forcing Osamu to confront a past he believed buried and the possibility that what he lost may not have ended after all, but only changed form.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander is twenty-three, overqualified, and hiding something. After a bad ending at his last restaurant he takes a position at L'oiseau Loup with one rule for himself: keep the scent patches on, keep his head down, and don't give anyone a reason to look too closely.

    Ilya Rozanov is already looking too closely.
    Montreal's most decorated chef has built his reputation on knowing exactly what something is the moment it reaches him. Shane is quickly becoming the one thing in his kitchen he can't place — and that, more than anything, is what makes him dangerous.

    or: Shane and Ilya both work on an up and coming fine dining restaurant where Shane tries to hide his omega assignment and Ilya is dead set on finding out the addictive scent that has been distracting him on the line.

    Summary

    Leo is a rising singer who finds himself returning to the same small café every night at 8:05 PM for a vanilla latte and cheesecake he doesn’t really need—but the barista he keeps coming back for might be the real reason.

    Sangwon works too much, sleeps too little, and carries a life heavier than he ever talks about. He doesn’t have time for distractions—especially not for a quiet, observant regular who watches him like he’s already written a song about him.

    But Leo has.

    And it’s called Come Closer.

    Everything forces them to question who they can trust.
    As the venom begins to consume their identities and memories entirely, the real question emerges: will they escape with their lives—and what remains of their humanity?

    Summary

    Suho makes an 'ah' sound and taps Sieun’s chin with his pinkie. So Sieun closes his eyes and wraps his lips around the straw, sucking up as much as he can before Suho pulls the glass away. He sets the drink a safe distance away from Sieun but he isn't even bothered to care.

    Somehow this one tastes even sweeter than the last. He opens his eyes and tells Suho this.

    Suho breathes a soft laugh and reaches over the bar, gently moving the bangs away from Sieun's eyes and tucking a strand of silky brown hair behind the pinked ear.

    "Do you like it that much, baby boy?"

    His voice is a husky breath, the tone a sultry summer heat, those warm brown irises barely a sliver of color behind the dark pupil.

    An au where Sieun just needs a new job, but this leads him to finding someone he wasn’t even aware he was missing.

    Summary

    "Woah! You're amazing!!" The purple haired boy was beaming, his eyes sparkling with an excitement Nagi has never had aimed towards him before.

    He's never been looked at with such genuine interest and fascination. Hell, most days he goes without being noticed at all. It never bothered him, he ignored others just as they ignored him. In fact, he even preferred it this way.

    But now? Being stared at as if he were some kind of grand treasure, Nagi couldn't help the fuzzy feeling that swirled through his chest. A sort of haze clouded his mind, stopping him from forming any thoughts as he admired the eyes that admired him right back.

    Or: A nagireo café au where nagi and reo quickly become each others biggest fan

    Summary

    In the middle of college deadlines, part-time jobs, and apartment chaos, Pomni is just trying to survive her third year. But when Jax's teasing turns into an intense fixation, she becomes the center of an obsession she doesn't even realize is forming around her. While Pomni mistakes the strange gifts and constant appearances as odd coincidences, Jax is willing to remove anyone he sees as a threat to having her for himself.

    As students begin disappearing and fear spreads across campus, the only person who makes her feel safe is Jax who always appears at the right moment, says exactly what she needs to hear, and keeps getting closer. Even Zooble, one of Jax's closest friends, only notices small warning signs. Never the horrifying truth underneath them. In a college world full of secrets, jealousy, and violence, Pomni has no idea that someone would kill for her love. The more she trusts him, the more dangerous everything becomes.

    Summary

    Branch Hawthorne starts going to Catpuccino because it is quiet, warm, and nothing like the apartment he shares with his four brothers and one deeply pampered pit bull. He tells himself that it is the only reason.

    Then Gary, the café’s resident grumpy Maine Coon kitten, decides Branch is safe, and everyone else can get lost. Poppy, Catpuccino’s pink-haired owner, is warm, bright, impossible to ignore, and far too good at making Branch flustered for his own good. Suddenly, Branch is showing up every day for coffee, conversation, and a cat that seems alarmingly determined to drag him into something soft, domestic, and dangerous.

    Between rescue cats, meddling coworkers, chaotic brothers, and a growing connection neither of them quite knows what to do with, Branch and Poppy find themselves circling closer and closer to something that feels an awful lot like love.

    Rated T for potential language and innuendos. The very last chapter will have smut but is totally skippable if you are not a smut person. There will be kissing, making out, as well as romantic and sexual tension throughout the story so this is your warning :) most of it will be fluffy though

    Summary

    “I can recommend the waffles, if you’re looking for something sweet?”

    Wille’s lips twitch, as if he wants to laugh, and Simon finds himself smiling in kind. He hadn’t even meant that one to sound like flirting, it just seemed to be the way all their conversations ended up. Not that he was complaining.

    ~

    Working the night shift in a New York diner, Simon is intrigued by one returning customer. A wee ficlet for Wilmon Day.
