    Summary

    Hendery nods dutifully along to Sicheng’s droning explanations, affixes his signatures to documents when prompted, and after just fifteen minutes, leaves the building with his spanking new employment contract clutched to his chest and an impressively clammy handshake from Sicheng.

    “Welcome to 1-800-LOVE-TALK,” Sicheng says in that same flat, disinterested voice, followed by the slogan Hendery had seen printed on a fading banner hung up in the office premises. “‘We gonna have a good time’.”

    And just like that, Hendery’s hired for the world’s first multilingual sex hotline.

    (Hendery's a barista by day, and mans a sex hotline at night. It's pretty much what he expects until, one fine evening, a certain DJ starts lighting up his line.)

    i love reading about the beautiful and mundane. we can argue that all works are that, but after reading this, i beg to differ. hendery's cluelesness, xiaojun's uncertainty. it felt real. like i was listening to a friend complain about their life over a voice note.

    at the end of the day, all humans yearn for that– connection. even in fictional worlds. especially in fictional worlds.

    LOOKING FOR: Mystery Friday night singer on the third floor of the music building

    Hi! This might sound a little strange, but I’ve been studying in the library every Friday night for a few weeks now, and I’ve always been able to hear someone practising their singing in the music building next to it. If that was you, your voice was so calming that it actually helped me focus, which was honestly kind of a miracle because calculus is… not my thing.

    For the past two Fridays, I haven’t heard you, and I wanted to say that I miss it. If you’re out there and you happen to see this, just know that your voice made my study nights a lot easier, and I hope you come back.

    And just to be clear, I’m not a pervert. If you message me, I’ll send you my student ID, and then you’ll know who’s been listening to you.

    In a not perverted way.

    Or, Hendery finds an unusual study aide.

    finding myself thinking– no, yearning for romance is very rare, only truly ever happens when i stumble upon a piece that makes me want to carve out my eyes (in a good way). this piece was it for me, i think. the thought of striking gold not once, but twice; as hendery did here is something out of one's craziest dreams. absolutely adore the writing, the way it tugs at your heartstrings (and the very cute bonus pictures of mr. hendery himself hehe)

    if i could go back to college and experience it like it was sort of presented here, i would.

    Summary

    As far as Artem is concerned, attending this gala as Marius' pretend fiance is something that they both have to do for the sake of progressing a NXX case.

    This, of course, has nothing to do with the bouquet of flowers that have been showing up in his office every Monday morning.

    (or, five times artem finds gifts addressed to him, and the one that he is the gift.)

    i had a nightmare so vivid thanks to this fic. it made me feel sam's character in a way i had never felt before. it is tragic but yet it touches the correct fibers of your heart to make you wish you could experience a love as true as theirs.

    sad, real, beautiful.

    Summary

    Cloud doesn't know why the God of Destruction demands for sacrifices, nor does he care. He just wants to drag him off his throne, and possibly make sure he can never hurt anyone else.
    It's quite hard to follow through with his goal. Partially because killing a god is a lot harder than Cloud expected, and partially because it turns out maybe Sephiroth wasn't so keen on hurting people as Cloud had assumed.

    whenever i say i am in dire need of slow burn romance, this is what i mean. the tragic beauty of interacting with a god (and Feeling for it) is already enchanting, but in this work? it goes beyond. cloud's characterization is also spot on.

    literally got me crying in the middle of a lecture. a damn marketing lecture, at that.
