Summary
Ravenshire Estate, Albury, 1842
Kim Taehyung, The Earl of Surrey, is trapped in a marriage that has already ended. Only a child keeps it from breaking entirely. When his wife commissions a painting of the two of them, he assumes it is nothing more than a formality. Perhaps even a farewell.
Then Rosalind D’Angelo arrives.
An Italian artist. Arrogant. Frustrating. Intriguing. Attractive. Beautiful. Melancholic. Deadly.
She is full of colour in ways he has never known.
He does not understand what she sees in him. But for the first time, he begins to wonder what it might mean to feel.
This is the story of a colourblind man falling in love with an artist.

Summary
“And, like, now that I know that I’m not her… That she didn’t just lie dormant in my gem all my life… It’s making me think that everyone’s just disappointed. I’m afraid of being like her, because she’s horrible, but afraid of not being like her, because after that, my worth is just conditional.” What’s seventeen years to a millenia? Or several?
“Oh, Steven.” She was looking at him with an expression he couldn’t place. “What she did…” —her eyes brimmed with tears, tone cautious— “It was never your responsibility. I was never your responsibility.”
He can’t blame anyone but himself; few Gems never fully grasped the meaning of “child,” even if he once taught a Human Bio class at Little Homeworld. “It shouldn’t’ve been. But it was.”
She rose, walked over to him, sat and propped her knees up so they’d be at eye level. She stroked his hair in a soothing gesture, perhaps a tad out of her depth. “Oh, stars. When did you get so tall?”
“You sound like Pearl.”
A giggle, jubilant. “Good.”

They just haven’t figured out what to call it yet.
When Basil’s shop closes for renovations, they can no longer rely on routine — and things begin to shift.

Summary
At the revelation, for once, Xion’s lips parted. Up until now, she had been listening with a hint of curiosity and a lightness. Though this symbolism hit close to home.
A little too close.
“Oh my; I’ve lost track, haven’t I? Excuse that,” the lady gasped and chuckled, amused at her ability to seemingly trail off endlessly. “I just wanted you to understand the gift.”
“Gift?” was the only thing Riku got out before the flower was placed in his—suddenly open?—hand. “Treat it with care,” the lady advised, “and give it away with the knowledge that it is merely a flower that represents something we all have in our hearts.”
— OR —
In which Roxas having no time to accompany Kairi and Xion to Radiant Garden results in a trip neither Xion nor Riku expected to enjoy this much.

Summary
There’s a new person in town and all the whispered gossip around town speaks of them like a prodigal son returned. Fond eyes above murmuring mouths that say things like took over the old lady Matsumoto’s flower shop or wonder if that group of Furin boys knows. It makes Mitsuki’s skin stretch across his shoulders and knuckles in ways that itch, that hurt. A roll of his shoulders, the hum of a catchy tune on his lips, and the day goes on. It’s time to open the parlor.
Three hours in, one and a half pieces down, and his phone vibrates on the counter. Mitsuki ignores it, even though it proceeds to go off several more times. When he gets to his phone forty five minutes later, there’s a plethora of notifications. There always is, if he’s honest. It’s a pair of messages from a certain nosy bottle blonde that catches and holds his attention - that hits the damn holding back all the thoughts, questions, and memories he’s been holding off on since he first overheard the news.
Nirei Akihiko - 4:16 p.m.
He’s back.

Summary
Cold.
His hands sank into the snow when he tried to catch himself and—failed.
His face half-buried by snow, his cheek pressed against the ground like he was trying to listen to the whispers of the barren earth.
The cold didn’t tingle, or feel biting. Just soft and pointy. Tiny icy crystals layered over and over and over and over again on top of each other, freshly laid, but it was already melting and freezing again.
It was dark, lit by only that light, welcoming glow of the stars, but that was enough. He exhaled, a high pitched sigh, and a small, misty cloud of water vapor.
His next breath catches in his throat.

Summary
Sangwon, a child raised in a deeply religious home — someone who believed that prayers, kindness, and obedience were enough to keep the world from breaking.
But as he grows up, he begins to see how faith can be used to silence people, how it’s often the poor and powerless who are told to “endure” while the rich stay untouched.Then there’s Leo — born in comfort, living high above the world’s suffering. He’s never known hunger, never had to beg for grace.
Their worlds shouldn’t have crossed, but they do and that meeting changes them both.Sangwon starts questioning everything he was taught. He realizes that prayer alone can’t protect anyone, that sometimes you have to fight back, even if it means going against what you once believed was holy.
