Summary
To love is to trust, to trust is to fall. One cannot know pleasure without first risking pain.
Wanshi drives this time, the bistro a considerable distance from the apartment compared to the park. The city skyline in the distance becomes a blur of colors and lights, beautiful beneath the late afternoon sun, but Wanshi finds his gaze drawn to Aysel more so than anything else. Aysel stares out the window, lost in thought, his elbow propped against the door and his cheek pressed into the palm of his hand. The coastline breeze sifts through his raven black hair, caressing the strands in a way that reveals the subtle blue-black tint under the sunlight. His eyes, neither blue nor green, but rather a marriage of the two, regard the scenery with equal amounts of wonder and disdain.
Aysel is far from perfect, but Wanshi prefers him that way, prefers him human, complicated, unbound. Better a man who seizes his free will by the horns than a man who bends his knee to another.
(OC/Canon.) A one-shot centered around Wanshi and his budding relationship with the pretty-faced, foul-mouthed Aysel. After months of sexual tension, something more is about to bloom.

Summary
An anthology of short stories centered around Commandant Evren Yıldız and the Gray Ravens, in no particular order. Explicit chapters will be marked as such.
Children born on Babylonia don’t understand the importance of a false night. They are of the stars. They can’t yearn for a sky they’ve never known.
(OC/Canon. Primarily Commandant/Lee-centric with a layer of Commandant/Roland because I'm a messy bastard who lives for drama.)
NEW—002: Libertas. Takes place after the events of EX01 Grand Blue.
“Wheels.” Evren kicks out their leg with a flourish and points to the sole of their boot; it’s a vibrant teal with a faint glow and a speaker built into the tall heel. “These kicks are in need of something new, something… fresh. Something that’ll make Lee roll his eyes at me. Unfortunately, he’s gotten used to me stomping my feet to make my shoes light up and play music.”
Evren enlists Nanami’s aid in the need for speed.

Summary
In the age of lantern and oil, paper and ink, the people lived in fear of many horrors indescribable to mortal men: creatures that dwelt in the darkest of shadows, unseen and unheard, but lingering in the form of violently torn corpses; the mysteries of the spatial realm beyond human reach, those that were never meant for simple mortals to behold; and monstrous beasts, once plentiful, now scarce, said to be chosen by the graces of the full moon and her star children to carry out her will at her every beck and call.
Hunters of these beasts deemed them the Afflicted. Many of these beasts, shameful of their lineage, agreed with the name, but there were those who scoffed at it, and chose to reinvent themselves with a new title: the Chosen. For the full moon did choose them, did bless them with inhuman gifts, and no hunter in the world would ever change that.
Ever.

Summary
And when the scent of coffee drifts up from the cafe situated on the Grandcypher, competing with the breeze to suffuse Raziel’s body, she looses a breath.
The blue skies above promise everything and nothing. The clouds twist in a parody of Lord Lucifer’s wings.
