Summary
Hobie tells her that her anger will choke her if she keeps bottling it up. Gwen thinks her anger is something that was born alongside her, cradled in a crib and treated gingerly, red-hot and ultraviolent like the coarse edges of a penny sitting out in the scorching sun for too long. She just rolls her eyes at him because she doesn’t know how to tell him that it already is – that her anger has hands that hold her neck in a never-ending vice grip and leave ugly reddish-purpling finger-shaped bruises only visible to her.
OR, grief molds gwen into someone unrecognizable.

Summary
In a small London theatre, two leading actors, Lee Pace and Tom Hiddleston, prepare for a new stage production while navigating a growing tension neither fully understands. A brief encounter after rehearsal introduces Hannah, whose presence quietly unsettles the balance between them. What begins as simple curiosity slowly becomes a source of unspoken conflict, stretching beyond the theatre into late-night conversations, awkward silences, and unexpected meetings elsewhere in the city.
Misunderstandings build, boundaries blur, and each of them carries assumptions they never voice. As opening night approaches, the trio finds themselves caught in a subtle, shifting dynamic—one that hints at something deeper beneath the surface, without yet revealing where it will lead.

Summary
Todos tenían siempre un estereotipo sobre cómo debería de ser un Omega, «Sumiso, débil e insignificante» Los que deberían conformarse con ser la pareja del Alfa que acepte desposarles y luego de ello darles una familia, un pensamiento bastante pobre y anticuado considerando que no estaban en el siglo pasado, sin embargo, de todas maneras los estereotipos hacia ese subgénero en específico seguía hasta el día de hoy. No obstante, para alguien algo altanero, rebelde, y un poco (bastante) temperamental como Inuyasha, no existe cosa que fuera un impedimento para él, o algo con lo que no pudiera pelear, nadie lo obligaría a hacer algo que él no quiere, haría sus propias reglas hasta desaparecer uno a uno los estereotipos sobre los omegas, y demostraría que no todo es lo que parece, por qué él es, un omega único.

Summary
After the passing of his father Luka decided to carry on his father's dream, him always talking about to find 'The Ultimate Uma Musume'. To be able to do that he first needs to of course become a trainer. Director Akikawa has thrusted him into an established team, all so he can be evaluated and hone his skills. And while he is a bit skeptical about the trainer at first he sees the Umas training their hardest... All but one.
Meet Gold Ship, the probably most eccentric Uma around. She barely trains and does what she wants, let alone how she speaks sometimes... Needless to say Luka is not really impressed by her and it's no secret that she is a total slacker. However, even he has to come to realize the hidden genius of Gold Ship, learning just how capable she truly is. She could become the ultimate Uma! She just never feels like trying. Instead she rather spends her time messing with the trainer assistant however she pleases.
What a cheeky brat! Unfortunately she can be quiet cute too... No matter what, Gold Ship just always has the upper hand. After all, not even Luka can resist (as hard as he tries).
