    Summary

    River Cartwright doesn't like sex, and he doesn't like dating. Somehow, an ill-fated conversation with Spider, the first close friend he makes as an adult, where he tries to explain this results in River finding himself in a friends-with-benefits arrangement that he doesn't remember agreeing to, doesn't want, and can't find a way out of.

    It's not like it's... it's not like it isn't his fault. That's what River tells himself. He lets it happen, after all, so who else can be to blame? He doesn't get to be traumatized by this. It's not like he was raped. Later on, when people start finding out, they have a different opinion. To them, it's clear that this is in fact exactly what happened.

    OR: Five times someone learned about what Spider did to River, and one person who already knew. Ft. repulsed aroace River, a heap of internalized victim blaming and aphobia, and the pain of not having the words to describe who you are and what's happened to you.

    Summary

    Khai suppresses his fire, pretends to be who he’s not. For when people look at Khai, they see a girl named Mai. The worst is his own adoptive aunt, who would only allow him to learn healing and not combat.

    After achieving his healer licence, he heads to the big city of Taesu, still pretending to be a girl, but away from his aunt’s eyes. Khai ends up meeting Quy, another young man who looks very much alike. Under Quy’s pressuring, Khai agrees to be Quy’s body-double, ““pretend”” to be a guy, and to attend Baashi University.

    A university, as it turns out, that has the administration-sanctioned tradition of compulsory fighting between the students. However, Khai has more than just one secret...

    Summary

    Jay Martin has a secret...he has a superpower! The young man has an ability nobody else in this world of caped crusaders can fathom, the power of common sense. Unfortunately, Jay isn't very popular among fans or heroes. He's named Neo Houston's "worst sidekick ever," disliked by his assigned partners, and ignored by everyone.

    That is, everyone but his #1 fan, a man named Gannet. For some reason, the superfan is completely obsessed, enthusiastically cheering on his beloved "Quickwit" whenever he can.

    There's just one problem...Gannet is undoubtedly Neo Houston's most feared new supervillain, the dark and mysterious Stygian. Is it possible that the infamous villain truly admires Jay? Or does Stygian have more sinister motives?

    Jay will have to not only uncover the dark truths about his new foe, but also about Neo Houston and even himself. Can the hero keep his sanity when everything he knows is thrown into chaos?
