Summary
Shane loses his game to a blizzard and his boyfriend to a bad hit, all in the same night.
Snowed in with his parents in Montreal, he watches Ilya get stretchered off on live TV, and discovers that when your relationship is a secret, no one at the hospital thinks to call you.
In Ottawa, Ilya wakes up with broken bones, a serious concussion, and a neatly edited brain. The months where he was lonely and depressed and fighting with Shane? Gone. He’s mentally living in the soft, hopeful beginning of things—and the more everyone tiptoes around him, the more wrong it feels.
The Centaurs step up. The Hollanders dig in. Shane tries to convince himself that “temporary amnesia” is not the same thing as losing him.
They’re still together. They’re technically fine.

Summary
Satoru Gojo has lived his entire life in a tower carved into the mountain’s heart — painting skies he’s never seen, lighting candles for a festival he’s never attended, and waiting for a guardian who always returns.
When a thief named Suguru Geto breaks through the wards in search of a relic, he finds instead the secret the sage has been keeping for twenty-three years: a man who sees too much, and has never seen the world at all.
They strike a bargain — three nights beyond the mountain, to glimpse the lanterns that rise for a boy the world believes dead.
But freedom has a cost, and some lights were never meant to be hidden.

Summary
Tokyo Ballet is preparing its most ambitious work yet.
Satoru Gojo, the company’s untouchable étoile, is used to perfection. Suguru Geto, the new recruit from Kyoto Ballet, is anything but.When Shoko casts them as dual leads, the company braces for chaos. What follows instead is a slow unraveling: rivalry bleeding into fascination, perfection cracking into something raw, tender, and terrifyingly real.
Because in ballet, every fall is just another kind of flight—and some collisions are impossible to choreograph.

Summary
Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru live in the same apartment complex, two witches with wildly different definitions of “responsible magic.”
In a city where small-scale magic is just part of the infrastructure—charms, curses, enchantments woven through traffic lights and apartment walls—Satoru's an infamously powerful chaos merchant who runs a too-popular Hexsy shop selling “ethical” spells (they aren’t), while Suguru's a meticulous professor of magical ethics who values restraint above almost everything else and teaches Moral Theory for Modern Witches at the local coven college.
When the city’s wards begin to fail, the Witch Council blames its two most powerful residents and forces them to cooperate before the barrier collapses. But the deeper they dig, the clearer it becomes: the rot in the wards isn’t just magical—it’s personal.
(or, alternatively: two witches, one failing city, and the slowest possible emotional awakening)

Summary
Gojo Satoru is a paramedic. He’s used to adrenaline, bad coffee, and long shifts that end in silence. What he’s not used to is being shadowed by a photojournalist with sharp instincts, a quiet voice, and eyes that seem to see straight through him.
Geto Suguru is a photographer. He documents disasters, writes feature pieces, and—for reasons he’s never explained—has a forty-second voicemail saved from an unknown number that he listens to more often than he should.
Then he hears that voice again. In a viral video. In the rain.
It’s him.
They’ve never met, but something doesn’t line up.When Suguru gets assigned to write a piece on the mysterious people's hero, he isn't quite sure what to expect, but whatever this is, it’s not going to stay professional for long.

Summary
afterglow
(photography)
the light that remains after the source has gone; the lingering warmth that follows illumination; a memory that refuses to fade.They get married by the lake in early summer.
There are sparklers and rain, missing ties, found rings, and vows that sound like laughter. Nothing goes according to plan, and somehow it’s perfect anyway.Later, by the sea, the days unfold slow and salty-sweet. Snorkels, sunburns, camera shutters, quiet mornings that don’t ask for anything more. They learn what love looks like when it isn’t running toward rescue—when it just gets to stay.
It isn’t a story about love persevering.
It’s about what comes after: the soft, ordinary miracle of still being here.Series

Summary
underdevelopment (photography):
the state of an image that has not yet reached its full form; details suspended, unfinished, waiting for time and care to bring them out.Two years after they made a life together, mornings have finally learned how to be quiet. The kids are out for the weekend, the cat’s on loan to Tsumiki, and Suguru wakes to the rare luxury of Satoru heavy and unguarded in his arms. They have a house to themselves and plans that involve nothing more complicated than breakfast and staying in bed.
Satoru’s phone won’t stop ringing.
When a call drags him into a shift that wasn’t his, a catastrophic accident turns the day inside out. Satoru has built his life on saving other people—on being the one who walks in, never the one carried out. Recovery asks for the thing he hates most: surrender. Suguru can keep a city’s worth of facts straight, but he can’t make Satoru believe that being cared for isn’t the same as failing.
Rings that glint in hospital light, marks that fade slower than they should, and the long, stubborn work of learning that always sometimes means letting someone hold you up.
Sequel to overexposure.

Summary
Dusk comes down like a held breath and Geto Suguru chooses a different edge. The village lives. The phone call goes to Shoko, not Satoru. He walks away shaking and, for the first time since the Star Plasma Vessel, goes home—where soup tastes like metal, where his mother’s hand finds the old circle at his temple, where he realizes the work is turning him into a blade he can’t survive being.
Back at Jujutsu Tech, Gojo Satoru opens an unlocked door and finds a room that’s wrong in the smallest ways. His Six Eyes catalog the absence; his body sleeps only when it smells like Suguru’s shampoo. Shoko prescribes seventy-two hours and triage honesty. Satoru leaves a dozen voicemails; Suguru sends one text: I’m safe. We’ll talk later.
It feels like a promise and a goodbye all at once. They break the way stars do—far apart, still burning toward the same dark.
When they finally touch, it isn’t an explosion, it’s a soft, practiced yes. -

Summary
Ten years ago, they were supposed to change the kingdom.
Crown prince and consort-to-be. Lovers first, revolutionaries in all but name.Then Suguru Geto disappeared.
Now, Satoru Gojo sits the throne alone—tempered, silent, and dangerously surrounded. The High Court demands obedience. The realm craves stability. And Satoru has thirty days to name a consort or surrender the choice entirely.
The court arrives with suitors and secrets.
Alliances form with every glance.And Suguru walks back through the palace doors.
He doesn’t ask for forgiveness. He doesn’t offer answers.
He only watches—and waits.Because love was never the point.
And thirty days might not be enough to decide if it's the greatest threat of all. -
every seam a scar by cherrydialectic

Summary
Gojo Satoru wakes up to the same morning again and again.
Not always exactly the same — the clocks stutter, reflections lag behind, his Infinity slips when it shouldn’t. A girl who should be gone is suddenly alive. The vending machines remember old coins. And sometimes there’s a seam in the air that tilts its head when he looks at it.The loops don’t restart clean. People shift. Memories don’t line up. His scar burns hotter with every day that shouldn’t exist. And through all of it, Suguru is still here — steady, close, warm — like he doesn’t know they might already be running out of time.
Satoru doesn’t know if he’s protecting Suguru from whatever’s fraying reality, or carrying him deeper into it. All he knows is that if the world falls apart, he’s going to be holding onto Suguru when it happens.
Blurred edges between love and dread.
