    Summary

    Kojiro was usually the one telling a rapt tavern of his tales, but his love of a story had been tended to like clambering ivy as a child, and had enraptured him strongly. He’d adored the tales of bravery, of knights like him, on adventures where they were braver than he felt, bolder than he could ever be.
    They saved princesses, they slayed dragons, they rescued towns and protected the innocent.

    If it were a fairytale, there’d be a moment of defining success.

    And yet here Kojiro stood, exhausted and defeated.

    Once again.

    The jewel was not here.

    Knight Kojiro Nanjo entered the Fae Forest in search of a jewel to offer to the queen of the elves. Instead, he found Kaoru, the acerbic and unwelcoming elf who calls the forest his home.

    Summary

    Kojiro’s parents were right, Kaoru was always pretty. But was that really the reason he was attracted to him? Just because he preferred to look feminine didn’t mean he was a woman, but maybe…

    And then Kaoru walked out of the room.

    Severely lacking makeup.

    The only coherent thought Kojiro could manage to articulate was, “Fuck me.”

    And Kaoru cackled.

    In which Kojiro’s parents are like ‘you only like Kaoru because he looks like a woman’ so Kaoru proves them wrong

    Summary

    There had to be at least one potential universe in which Kaoru and Kojiro didn't fall in love, didn't there?

    Surely, they had to be. And with Carla to run the numbers and create simulated projections, Kaoru was sure that he'd find it.

    Summary

    Kaoru is not cold when Kojiro gets back from Italy, but they do not fall back into each other the way Kojiro expects, wants, needs, and craves. Kojiro agrees to the beef because of the tantalising promise in Kaoru’s request—“I’m going to do whatever I want to you. With you.”
    “Don’t pout when you lose,” Miya says with all the gravitas of his fourteen years.
    When?”
    “Uh huh,” Miya says. “We all know Cherry has this.”
    “Oh yeah?” Kojiro urges.
    Miya glances over at Kaoru. “He clearly wants it more.”

    Alternatively: Carla could never be a replacement for Kojiro, Kaoru was foolish to ever entertain the thought.
