Summary
What if your situationship was hiding something big—and the internet was about to find out first?
Bina never expected to be elbow-deep in salmon lox and coffee shops, or chasing stories in the East End music scene instead of sleeping.
Ben is quiet. Careful. And evasive enough that it'd be weird if he wasn't so fit.
But this is London—a city where love begins to smell like burnt bagels, too-expensive cologne, and after-venue hours that stretch far out into the thin red line of the horizon. It's easy to get caught up in the headshots and hearsay. Bina knows one thing. Whatever Ben won't say isn't a secret that can stay hidden for long.
When a leak threatens to expose everything that Bina's not ready to lose, she's left with a choice:
get the quote, or protect the boy who never fully told her the truth.
In a city built on buzz and who knows who—some stories aren't meant to be written
but we hit publish, anyway.Series

Summary
For two lovers whose dreams brought them together, a promise of love was made in the pursuit of it. The castles they built in the sky became a kingdom where their dreams reigned. But as they journeyed to the sky to reach the stars, a weight had to be unloaded—sacrifices had to be made.
“Let’s break up, Bin.”
And for Hao to step to the summit, Hanbin was the sacrifice he made.
But four years forward, their paths crossed again as if an invisible thread would always keep them tied together, as if the compass of their lives would always lead to the road where they would eventually have to meet again.
“Hao hyung…”
When the castles they built in the sky came crumbling and tearing down into ruins, could they build them once more on the ground?

Summary
Everyone thought that Ace and Sabo were romantically involved with each other, sometimes even Luffy thought so.
Yet the truth is, they were just platonic soulmates. Needless to say, no one could have guessed that Ace is an arson with some serious aesthetic fixation.
And everyone also knows that Shanks is in pursuit of courting Marco, but even the Red-haired will never know that Marco is the famous serial killer.
Well, except for Thatch and Izou.
They found out when they invited Marco to have dinner together. Who else could taste the faint iron smell from that single droplet of sauce on the plate? The [Phoenix] would never miss it.
And likewise, Marco was the only one that realised there's a couple of cannibals in their family. Ever since then, he had become their personal butcher. In return, he got special meals every here and there.
Until one day, Thatch decided that they should share the beauty of the act to everyone, making pastries out of human fats, and sell it to the cafe that slowly earned a place in their heart.
Well, surprise surprise. Those pastries had caught [Fire Fist]’s eyes.

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.

someone to kiss the cuts and tell me to keep trying by SpiderFoster
Fandoms: Hadestown - Mitchell

Summary
Orpheus had made it out of Hadestown. He hadn’t turned. Not once. Even with the doubts weighing heavy on his tired shoulders. He’d succeeded—made it back up top safely with his wife. So why couldn’t he shake off the nightmares?
“Orpheus?” Her voice cut through his sleep, “Darlin’?” She was alive. She was okay—his mind spoke, a shaky, scared thing.
She was extra careful when her lips pressed against the scar he had earned from his journey to Hadestown. Her mouth was a gentle pressure that reminded him she was there. “It’s okay, Poet, I’m here, we’re alright. Ain’t we?”
☆ ~ ☆ ~ ☆
Five times Orpheus has doubts, and five times Eurydice kisses his scar.

Summary
Setting foot into Pour Decisions definitely was one of Joel's better choices. He'd went for coffee and left with a brat that kept him on his toes. Smug grin and gum popping. He'd lie if he'd claim he didn't enjoy that just as much as reminding how much of a good girl you can be. Like when you steal his shirt and cause him to be late to the construction site because of that.
