    Summary

    Cecilia studied the area where his fingers met her wrist. The farmer's face flashed through her mind. She thought of the long afternoons they spent analyzing Matthew's stray touches and unexpected smiles, the farmer gushing over his every move. She thought of Matthew beaming at the end of the aisle on his wedding day. She thought that she couldn't love Matthew if he went any further.

    Summary

    Takakura never had much luck in matters of the heart (until Aya came along, that is).

    (Takakura-centric; Takakura x Pony; kind of about being queer and afraid and falling in love in spite of it)

    Summary

    'It’s only now that he can admit to it. He is lonely. Profoundly, achingly lonely.
    He knows it because he has a basis for comparison now. He compares the lightness in his chest to the leadenness of last night and every night that came before.
    In the joy of Claire’s company, Trent discovered how much he has been yearning for it his entire life.'

    Summary

    Claire had grown up believing in the prospect of soulmates as something incredibly joyous. It sounded just like a fairytale – like the ones her grandpa would tell her about the goddess in the pond – except, somehow, this one was true. A first touch that would ignite your skin, fill you with dizzying euphoria, and magnetize you to one another – it sounded like a divine blessing.

    But now Claire knew it was a curse.

    -

    Your soulmate isn't always the one you are meant to love, but that doesn't mean it won't hurt like hell.
