    Summary

    Andrew and Ashley Graves have done the impossible. Somehow, against all odds, they've built a normal life.

    Their son, Wren, knows nothing of the horrors buried in his parents' past. To him, they're just Mom and Dad: a loving, if admittedly eccentric, couple doing their best to raise him. From Mom's late night pregnancy cravings, school bullies to first love, prom night, marriage, and eventually fatherhood, Wren grows up surrounded by the kind of warmth Andrew and Ashley never had themselves.

    But behind the scenes, old secrets refuse to stay buried, and the shadows of the past never disappear completely. But this isn't the story of how the Graves family fell apart.

    It's the story of how, somehow, they put themselves back together.

    Summary

    The Mother of Asa finds Denji at the worst point in his life. In a spur of the moment decision, she decides that she needs to rescue him, and later adopt him into the Mitaka household. She believes that she is doing what is right, and besides, she always wanted a son...

    Denji wasn't able to pay off the Yakuza, and told them as such. They did not take kindly to his defeated honesty. Thankfully, when he thought he was going to die, he was rescued by a seemingly kind hearted woman. Sure, her daughter is a bit prickly, annoying, loud, and spoiled. But her mom told him to try and get along with her the best that he can, and that was what he was going to do! Besides, this is the normal life he had always wanted, what's the worse that could happen?

    Asa Mitaka felt that her life had turned upside down when her mother suddenly came up with a new member of the family. It felt wrong, and there was nothing that she could do about it and that made her feel even worse about it. Denji was dirty, gross, and a boy. How could her mother ever think that she could get along with him? Ugh, well, it wasn't like she had a choice. She would have to at least give him a chance. A very reluctant chance...

    Summary

    With her mind elsewhere, she hadn't noticed the tugging at her palm, anchored to the moment by the sensation of soft skin beneath her fingertips. When meeting Belle's gaze, she sees something pleasantly striking—like flint sparking alight flames of mischief, further flashing warmth to a wayward mind.

    A moment long awaited, and finally realised with Belle guiding her Shifu's hand. In more ways than one...

    Summary

    In which Khun goes from "what is wrong with him" to "what is wrong with me"

    "Won't you get off my dick for once, pretty boy?"

    For the first time in three years, Khun perceives the exact moment Bam's carefully crafted expression falters.

    "You… you think I'm pretty?" Bam asks almost shyly, and Khun freezes in place.

    Does this guy not get sarcasm at all? Was he raised in a fucking cave?

    Summary

    Agathe Arklaum has issues pursuing her dreams. She has always felt since her exile like she was never good enough. The rural Atelier to which she has run an entire country away has provided her with peace, but the only place she can get inspiration is around the smiley genius sculptor who inhabits the Atelier's barn.

    It's hard being a superstar European author when you can't even work out how you feel about one girl.


    Or Agott's journey of discovery about what Coco means to her, what it means to live in a time of dreams and optimism, and how far they'll both go for each other no matter what the cost.


    A Victorian/Fin de Siécle Arkco AU where the Atelier is literally an atelier for artists.
    Based loosely off the vibes found in Stefan Zweig's memoirs. Expect introspection and inner turmoil because Agott's internal suffering gives me life and her release gives us all catharsis.
