    Summary

    Times are tough for Goh Haejoon. Lacking funds to go overseas for his dream graduate degree, he ends up yet another overworked junior employee, trapped working a soul-sucking corporate job outside of his field while he saves up the money. That’s okay; he can endure.

    Only… why is rising star actor (and old friend) Baek Eunyung constantly inviting himself over to his house to make wholesome and elaborate meals? Not only that, but he’s acting weird!

    Summary

    The thing is that not everyone can grow up to be like that. Some people take the high road, become better early on, some people take longer than that. Does that make them worse than the people who grew up kind? Does it change the fact that they were still hurt?

    Eunyung Baek, told through a series of plays.

    Summary

    The tension in Shuuichi's silence is taut as an arrow at the ready, quivering with anticipation, and perhaps some regret: once the arrow is loosened, it cannot be reclaimed. "I," he says, with great exertion, and likely a grimace, "need your help."

    A smile stretches like incoming danger on Seiji's face. "Sorry, could you repeat that?"

    "You heard me perfectly fine and we both know it!" Ah, that petulance of his. The teen Seiji had once known flashes in his memory, all scowls and bent heads and darting eyes. Shuuichi huffs, releasing the tension Seiji effortlessly composes in him. "I think someone I work with is possessed."

    Summary

    He clinks the cup on its quivering tray. But he had not set the cup down so brusquely; but no earthquake claims the Matoba clan head where a youkai could not prevail. It’s his hand on the tray’s edge, struck by a tremor.

    Seiji steals it away inside in his kimono. It is black. The Matoba’s color. The color of a groom. The color of a lizard skittering across a hand, up the arm, to a face that does not want to see his.

    He opens his mouth. “I have to—”

    Beget a worthy heir, as many tries as it takes. Teach him—it must be a him—to wield a bow and arrow, to enunciate spells so resoundingly that they reach the gods, to chop up his heart and eat it before their enemies can. Balance that with leading the clan; with having a wife, a stranger in his room bearing more than his name.

    He has to let go of everything that would impede the Matoba legacy, transcending one man’s wants. He has to marry her.

    More than the sake rises up Seiji’s throat.
