Summary
Dearest gentle reader,
The time has come to place our bets for the upcoming social season. Whispers speak of a foreign emissary’s arrival in London, a duke nonetheless! It appears that the Duke of Fujian will grace our fair city with his presence for an extended period of time. And, oh, what an impressive presence it is! This author wonders which brazen matchmaker shall rise to such a challenge…
“Standing before you, here and now,” he pauses and inhales sharply, voice becoming but a whisper, “I burn for you.”
Or, the bridgerton au nobody asked for, complete with forbidden romance, scandals galore, a ridiculous class system and of course, a love that conquers all… hopefully.

Summary
"I will miss you."
Hao smiles. "When you do," he lowers his voice. "Tell the sea, then. When it's at its quietest."
"Tell," the captain echoes in a whisper. "The sea?"
"About us," the siren bats his eyelids. He tilts his head, too, as a wave of dark red strands filters the moon, soft curtains that let Hanbin take a peek into Hao's soul. "About the words that tie us together, the stories you bring to life, the stars we call glimmering pearls."Bookmarked by highlightae

So when he finds himself stuck on campus over break with no plans to fly home, no boyfriend, and an embarrassingly high score on the Rice Purity Test, he does what any sexually repressed twenty-something would: he downloads Hinge.

Summary
Matthew does his best to remind himself that the very attractive Alpha in front of him is completely off limits. He's not going to ruin his chances at this job by doing something foolish like sleeping with the very attractive single father who was paying Matthew to look after his daughter, Wonhee.
Even if Jiwoong had, admittedly, played the hot doctor on Chicago Med that Matthew had fantasized about before.
[or: In which, Matthew really needs a job with the right benefits to keep his visa valid and stop him from getting shipped back to Canada. When this leads him to single father Jiwoong, Matthew tries not to let his attraction to the actor ruin a good thing, but things have a way of getting complicated when there's mutual attraction and a pack bond involved. (This fic is prequel to the other fics in this series, & can be read as a standalone.)]

Summary
Hanbin’s other hand caught his wrist in a bruising grip, eyes shifting into something darker he couldn’t quite place and for the first time Zhang Hao was almost afraid that he might have pushed him too far.
“You have no idea what you do to me, do you?”, Hanbin whispered into the space between them, eyes glancing at his lips and Zhang Hao struggled against the grip around his wrist.
“I want to ruin you”, Hanbin groaned, catching Zhang Hao’s jaw between his fingers and forcing him to look him in the eyes.
Or; Zhang Hao thought the campus nerd Hanbin was nothing but a blushing virgin until he found himself in a rather compromising position.
