    Summary

    A chain of unexpected events strands Pomni and Gummigoo. With no sign of immediate rescue, the two new friends set out to find the circus themselves, briefly stopping in Gummigoo’s supposedly non-existent village. The stay ends up longer than anticipated.

    It's just one part of a world crammed full of bank heists, saloon brawls, marshmallow six-shooters and dodgy mine hideouts, toffee trains, candied ocean liners and the occasional vicious gumdropbear, all dripping with literal sugarcoating that keeps the family-unfriendly implications around a PG rating. Most of the time.

    Pomni is tempted by the freedom to redefine herself and escape Caine’s presumed railroaded adventures. For Gummigoo, the map is painfully familiar yet absolutely alien, raising questions that he and Pomni might not be able to really answer. As time passes, the friends find the map, themselves, and their relationship changing for better and possibly worse.

    Unable to summon Pomni back, Caine insists to the rest of the Circus that long-term entrapment in an adventure won’t cause lasting harm to either program or its participants. It’s soon apparent that even the A.I. ringmaster cannot anticipate the consequences hurtling towards them.

    Summary

    Nobody could have guessed that the end was only the start of a new beginning. Nobody, including the girl who was now seconds away from reaching the last chapter of her current life: You.

    It had been a fairly normal day; wake up, go to whatever few classes you had, eat lunch with your friends, and then go back to your room to study and start the cycle over again. Only a couple of months from now and you'd be graduating with your degree and starting your adult life, which thinking about it now made the distracted driver hurtling your way seem like a cruel joke.

    That was how you died.

    Or, at least it was, until you found yourself alive and breathing again. And in the world of an anime, no less! Your second life, a life of endless possibilities and one to fulfill your deepest desires, had landed you in an anime. No castles filled with endless wealth nor fame beyond compare was waiting for you beyond the pearly gates, it seemed. No, instead you'd be fighting to survive among your fellow classmates... And yet you'd come to find that you wouldn't have it any other way.

    Summary

    The alien birds didn’t seem to know what to make of him. They must have been important if they were buying intergalactic pets and providing them whole rooms to themselves, but if Logan had ever heard of a human before, he didn’t let it show. 

    Humans were horrible, from what the smugglers had said, because outside of Earth-- their deathworld, was what they had called it-- they were stronger than most species, and a heck of a lot more durable. The humans who got to space fell to their worst impulses, got addicted to killing, or so beaten down they were desensitized to it. 

    Patton would never be used to it. He wouldn’t try to be, not even if his life depended on it, not when he remembered how those first aliens had crumpled like paper mache under the force of a few blows. That was why he’d ended up with the fish people in a reverse aquarium, for being so boring. 

    That was why he stayed still and relaxed when the birds came to visit him, and let Roman touch his face and arms when he wanted to, even though Virgil tried to stop him. He didn’t want the birds to be afraid he would hurt them.

    Summary

    He could either be himself in spirit or name; the two could never coexist.

     

    Paris, 1894. Virgil Arquette had one rule he lived by: he could never, never be himself openly, for society is not kind to those who are different and unashamed of it. It isn't a big deal, he's actually on the luckier side; he has a friend who cares about him, a home and a fair amount of wealth, a father who has not disowned him (yet), and his poetry, the one thing he loves, the one safe space where he can be himself.

    Then a ridiculously extravagant (and definitely not gorgeous) actor sweeps him off his feet and into a new world, one where he might have a place to belong. As he spirals deeper and deeper into Roman's world, he finds himself along the way - and learns that just maybe, life doesn't have to be lived on someone else's terms.

    TL;DR - They're disaster gays in love who try very hard to be pretentious. And to not simp for each other. They fail on both accounts, obviously.

    Summary

    Evil kings don’t get happy endings. They just don’t. With that much blood on their hands it’s all they can hope for to get a quick painless death. A sword through the heart the kindest end they will get.No love in their futures. No joy or peace.
    Happy endings are a gift they do not deserve.
    But sometimes, when the stars align just right, they can get pretty damm close.

    Or
    Virgil is an evil king and Roman is his equally (though more discretely) evil personal guard.

    Anthony Crowley's bakery is top in Soho and quickly becoming well-renowned throughout all of London.

    Summary

    The first thing he noticed was that he could breathe. There was no water on the other side, just damp air. Taking off his snorkeling gear, Kirishima gaped into the underwater cave. Blue, green, and yellow crystals stuck out of the rock walls, lighting the place in a variety of colors. Staghorn and black coral grew in between the crystals, most covering them up completely. There was no water, and yet the organisms were able to thrive. How? The ground was made of soft sand that Kirishima's hand sunk through, crunching ever so quietly underneath his fingers.

     

    The second thing he noticed was the treasure. Piles of it lay everywhere, the bases surrounded by frilly pink and blue sea pens. How was that possible if there was no water for the coral to thrive in? Kirishima ran his eyes over the piles, gawking at the jaw-dropping sight. It took two full sweeps to take it all in, and then his gaze fell over the creature. It was huge.

     

    No, Kirishima squinted, he was huge.

    Summary

    Boarding school is bullshit. School is bullshit, and Bakugou Katsuki wants nothing to do with it. He doesn't give a shit about grades or homework or any of that crap, and he's more than tired of the damn principal breathing down his neck every second of the day. And to add a cherry on top of the shit sundae that is high school, he suddenly gets reassigned rooms and ends up with a way-too-fucking enthusiastic Hair-for-Brains idiot who's probably got the biggest, dumbest smile he's ever seen. Of-fucking-course.

    ~

    Kirishima's always been happy to meet people and make new friends. Needless to say, he's ecstatic when he's informed that he's finally getting assigned a roommate after a month of living alone in a dorm room. He's more than happy to welcome his new roommate with a smile and help him out with anything he needs. He isn't expecting, however, to meet a seriously attractive blonde with intense irises that shine with his favorite color, and who he also has trouble keeping his own eyes off of.

    Summary

    “Takumi,” Souma spoke up. “Did you come here with anyone?”

    “I did,” Takumi chirped, propping his head up. He stared at Souma with admiration, never daring to look away. “But she’s gone. It’s just me here now.”

    Takumi inched closer – dying to be near Souma as his breath hitched. He watched Souma closely, unable to calm his racing heart as Takumi anticipated Souma’s words. Though, when Souma finally spoke up again, it was as if Takumi’s world suddenly stopped.

    “Then I guess I’ll just have to keep you company.”

    Summary

    'When Hinata woke in the evening, he half expected to see the wild man mysteriously gone, as though he'd never been there in the first place.

    But instead, there he lay, fast asleep. Shafts of deep golden sunlight fell across the man's sleeping form, and Hinata stared at him, transfixed. He had long, dark lashes and a finely shaped, straight nose, and low cheekbones with a proud jawline, all of which started to fill out some sort of stereotypical profile for a rugged jungle king.

    If ever there had been someone created to survive the unforgiving landscape of the jungle, it was him.'

    --

    The rainforest expedition is to last a full year—365 days of living under the lush canopy of trees.

    Danger looms. Adventure awaits. The jungle calls. Hinata Shouyou has never wanted anything more.

    Or so he thinks, until he meets a curious stranger there, who shows him what it means to be truly needed.
