Summary
"Heavy boots matted with mud hit the wooden floor and when the door swings open fully a cold wind rushes into the saloon. It’s not even cold outside, yet it’s as if the man brings Winter itself with him.
Icy blue eyes meet his. They’re so blue they almost look unreal. Reki is forcefully reminded of an electric discharge - specifically the one that almost ended his life as a boy. A fickle thing, electricity. Untrustworthy. Perhaps that is why he’s suddenly filled with uncertainty.
Or maybe it’s because the man seems to refuse to look away from him."
Summary:
Reki works as a Blackjack dealer in the little town of Crazy Rock. While his life didn't turn out as intended, he's content - he can support his family, is surrounded by good friends, and enjoys his job far more than the farmer's life he was supposed to inherit.When a stranger dares to swindle Reki at his own game, everything changes.
Meeting the bewildering "Snow" not only shakes the ground Reki stands on - it uproots old secrets that will cause tremors throughout the entire town. It's the start of a romance that will change lives - and that risks ending them.

Books, black cats, and bickering buffoons by ScribbleGeek

Summary
For his entire life, Kaoru has lived in the little apartment atop his family's bookshop. Each day is a well-oiled routine. He gets up, gets dressed, makes his bed, and goes over to the next-door cafe for coffee and croissants. With the morning cares out of the way he gets to work (serving the customers he likes and getting rid of those he doesn’t) and he spends his evenings at the pub with Hiromi or at home drinking wine and reading books with his beloved cat Carla curled up on his lap.
His entire world is turned on its head, though, when he learns that the cafe where he (and his father before him) gets coffee every day is shutting down.
Perhaps it wouldn’t be so bad if it wasn’t for the new tenant - a loud buffoon who for some reason turns a perfectly good cafe into a restaurant during the day and (good grief) a bar during the night.
Kaoru’s routine is shattered. Losing the cafe he can handle (albeit not very well) but the noise from the bar keeps both him and Carla awake.
Kaoru will not accept it. He needs Nanjo Kojiro gone - by any means necessary.
(Or: A story about the difficulties of change, incredible stubbornness, and how sometimes what you least want is exactly what you need.)

Summary
A smile tugs at Kaoru’s lips again. “Don’t look so shocked," he murmurs as his thumb edges even closer to the inside of Kojiro’s bottom lip. “It’s not like discretion has ever been one of your most prominent traits.” Jesus. Kojiro swallows hard but his mouth is still held open by the firm press of Kaoru's thumb. “But you’ve always been rather patient, haven’t you?" He quirks a brow and his smug smile softens into something leaning towards tenderness rather than complacency. “I guess I’m the impatient one.”
Or: It's just a regular evening of making dinner and drinks for the man that Kojiro has been in love with since his teens.
Or so he thought.

Summary
Kojiro had loved Kaoru for so long that the butterflies that had once fluttered in his chest had withered and died, leaving his heart buried beneath the dust. It hadn’t dimmed his feelings, though, only changed them.
His love was still there but it was different - locked behind doors and chains, contained safely as to not risk him stepping out of line and messing up what they already had.
He couldn’t stand the idea of being parted from Kaoru again.
And then, they went to Miyako.
(Or: The Matchablossom follow-up to "Let's go Together".)

Summary

Summary
"Do you… do you get cold?" he dares ask, watching some of Reki's flames shrink and snuff out.
"Not before today," Reki answers silently.

A fateful meeting in the woods between a human and a fire spirit.

Summary
It would only be a matter of time before Langa noticed he was acting weird and confronted him about it. What was Reki supposed to do then? What could he say that would make sense? More sense than "yeah, sorry, man, I might have fallen a teeny-tiny bit in love with you"?
He froze. In love? No, no, nonono, that couldn’t be it. Admiration, friendship, and well, some type of crush, maybe, since Langa was so talented, and cool and always knew exactly what to say to make Reki feel all warm inside, but in love? A sequence from the video flowed into Reki’s mind; when Langa had started smiling, the pink evening light coloring his hair purple, and how his eyes had glittered, the way they always did when something made him truly happy or excited... Reki whimpered into his hands and squirmed, folding in on himself on the bed.
Damn it, damn it, damn it, DAMN IT.
He was so fucking screwed.
(Or in which Reki finds himself in a most surprising situation; on a paradise island with all his friends - travel and accommodation paid in full by his least favorite person. At least the man in question isn't with them. The holiday is challenging enough as Reki tries to figure out his confusing feelings for Langa.)

Summary
"You know," Iruka started as he came close enough for his partner to hear him. "This might give people the wrong idea."
Kakashi had scratched the back of his head. "What idea? That I'm so smitten with my boyfriend that I can't even stay away for a day? 'Cus that's not wrong."
Oh, there he was, the charmer.
"No," Iruka had grinned, not willing to let Kakashi off the hook so easily. "I was thinking about the type of ideas people get when grown men stare at playing children, without any of them being his own."
Kakashi's face fell for a moment, then he glanced around them, as if to make sure no one had called the cops on him, and cleared his throat. "Well, I guess there's only one way to avoid that type of misunderstanding in the future."
When Iruka didn't catch on, Kakashi had inhaled deeply, straightened up, and apparently gathered enough courage to speak more clearly. "I just… might have been inconsiderate when you talked about having children."
(Or in which Iruka thinks back to his life with Kakashi before they became parents.)
(It's just a bunch of fluff, really.) -

Summary
A choice made in the heat of the moment can change everything.
On a whim and the back of faint hope an action intended to be one of violence turns into one of affection - and what follows is way more complicated than Naruto imagined.
After the 4th ninja war, he lives an unsatisfactory life in Konoha, lonelier than ever despite his new status as the greatest hero of his time.
Nothing turned out the way he wanted it to, and despite 'having it all' - he misses the only thing he actually wants.
Both sad and happy memories, a complicated friendship, and a distant Uchiha haunts Naruto's mind... At least there are missions to focus on.

Summary
“What the fuck, Itachi, why in the world would I wanna spend an afternoon drawing some naked old lady?”
Itachi only had time to send him a look before the door swung open and hit the wall with a bang. Every head in the room, including Sasuke’s, turned to look at the person who burst through it.
“I’m here! I’m here! No worries everyone, your favorite model has arrived!”
If the guy’s clothes didn’t blind you - a loud orange hoodie littered with Japanese kanji and pictures from some anime, paired with matching sweatpants - his smile definitely would. And if that didn’t get to you, then those eyes… Sasuke swallowed. He could feel Itachi’s gaze burn a hole in his head. He turned viciously to meet it.
“That’s the model?” he whispered, agitated. “Itachi - if you think drawing a naked dude will cheer me up, you - you think I’d like this just because I’m gay?” He mouthed the word instead of speaking it out loud. “I can’t believe you-”
“Shut it, Sasuke - I have seen your search history.”
(Or in which Itachi brings Sasuke to a croquis class in an attempt to cheer him up after a rough few weeks. Sasuke doesn't really care about croquis. He might care a little bit about the model, though.)
