Summary
Laurent DeVere is a journalist with ambitions that reach higher than the work he’s given. Then, Senator Damianos Akielos walks into his office with the scoop of a lifetime about his brother, Kastor. But the story needs delicate, dangerous work.
Under the guise of a relationship, the two begin to work together closely, and find themselves grappling with the fact of both Kastor on their heels, and their emerging - and entirely unprofessional - feelings for each other.

Summary
The wedding night goes well.
By the time they make it to the bedchambers, her mind is buzzing with a pleasant, warm drowsiness. Her body feels incorporeal, as though her flesh has evaporated into a light, misty fog. She is not treading these earthly grounds, she is dissipating into thin air, she is anywhere but here.
A hand lands upon her shoulder, stitching her back together, grounding her. She blinks blearily at its owner.
“You must not fall asleep, Hinako,” Kotoyuki says. He sounds amused. “Not now. The night has yet to end.”
or: the aftermath of the wedding.

Summary
After that not-so-long hiatus, their latest comeback kills—and not just on the charts.
The Huntrix writes a song for the enemies they weren’t supposed to mourn, and Rumi dedicates the bridge for someone who never should’ve mattered this much.
The fans hear heartbreak.
Only she knows it’s a funeral.
But grief has a strange way of singing things back.
…And sometimes, when you sing to the shadows,
they echo back.Bookmarked by carpemermaid

Summary
Rumi clambered to her feet and ran toward the sound, opening the curtains with more force than necessary. As the fabric settled, she found a familiar figure seated casually on the railing of her balcony, his legs swinging and his body backlit by the glow of the crescent moon. She swallowed hard.
“Hey.”
Rumi’s heart dropped. Revealed by inches, hair perfectly in place, iridescent patterns over his skin, that stupid, stupid, stupid, lopsided grin marking his face, was Jinu.

Summary
“Do you guys feel like…” she started.
“Don’t say it.” Mira said, eyes resolutely staying shut.
Rumi made a face, “Like that whole thing was-“
“Rumi, don’t you dare.”
“…too easy?”
“Nooooo.” Mira moaned, dropping her head into her hands.
Zoey winced, and scratched at the side of her nose. “No, yeah. That was way too easy.”
Because of course it was. It had all been far too easy.
The Honmoon still wasn’t golden.

If I Had 9 Lives (I’d Give Them All to You) by akijoo

Summary
After dying heroically, Jinu is reincarnated as a tabby cat — because karma’s a comedian. The celestial condition? He can only return to his human form if he finds the place where his soul truly belongs — his “true home.” Problem is, no one tells him what that actually means, so he thinks, “Maybe I should go back home to the village?”
Naturally, this leads to him getting chased off unfamiliar grounds, kicked out of a fish shop, and mistaken for a demon cat (twice). With each failed attempt, Jinu gets more dramatic, more confused, and a lot more flea-ridden.
But when he ends up staring at a giant ad board with Rumi’s face on it — smiling like how he remembers it — Jinu starts to wonder… what if “home” was never a place at all?
