    Summary

    Caelan Veyr has always known exactly where he stands.

    Half-drow in a kingdom that has never trusted his father's people, he has spent his life learning to be quiet, disciplined, and twice as good as everyone around him. Even that isn't enough to earn him a place at the Royal Academy of Saint Orison—until his childhood best friend, Crown Prince Lucien Aurelian, decides that rules are considerably less important than getting his own way.

    Lucien has always been like that: troublesome, charming, impossible to embarrass, and absolutely certain Caelan will someday become his knight.
    Then the prince disappears.

    The Crown says a dragon breached the Sunspire and carried Lucien away. Years pass without a body, a ransom, or a rescue. As the kingdom begins to accept that its beloved heir is dead, Caelan refuses to.

    When he is finally offered his knighthood in exchange for hunting down the beast responsible, Caelan sets out with a sword, a stubborn elven companion, and one purpose that has survived everything else:

    Find the dragon.

    Discover what happened to Lucien.

    Kill the monster that took him.

    Summary

    One year after the Sanctuary, Subaru arrives in Priestella with the Emilia Camp, a new title, a new contract, and a witch living quietly behind his eyes.

    The Witch of Greed has made him sharper. Faster. Better prepared. Every bridge becomes an escape route, every stranger a variable, every disaster something that can be solved if Subaru is only willing to pay enough attention, spill enough blood, and die enough times to make the answer clean.

    Then the Watergate City begins to move.

    Subaru thought accepting her hand meant he would never have to face the impossible alone again.

    He forgot that being understood is not the same as being saved.

    Summary

    After the Season 2 finale, Maeve has leverage, Homelander has retreated, and Elena is still sleeping in her sister’s guest room with a suitcase open on the bed because safety has started to feel like something that only happens to other people.

    Maeve should stay away.

    Instead, she shows up at Elena’s door with Stormfront’s blood on her sleeve, Homelander’s threat still ringing in her ears, and the terrible knowledge that winning one round against a monster does not make you any less haunted.

    Elena is angry enough to send her away. Elena is scared enough to let her stay.

    And somewhere between the locked door, the bad couch, the half-packed suitcase, and the video neither of them can unsee, the two of them have to figure out whether love is still love when it has been turned into a weapon.

    Summary

    Agnes Tachyon comes back to the track before she is ready, before anyone is supposed to know, before her body can truly forgive her for what she is asking of it.

    Jungle Pocket finds out by accident in the blue hour before sunrise, when the academy is still asleep and the world is all silver dew and unfinished light. She should leave. She should mind her business. She should let Tachyon ruin herself in private, since apparently that is what she wants.

    Instead, Pocket keeps coming back.

    Summary

    No one remembers Julius.

    Not Anastasia. Not Reinhard. Not the people who fought beside him, trusted him, knew the shape of his voice and the weight of his name. Only Subaru is left carrying the memory of who Julius Juukulius is, and as the journey to the Pleiades Watchtower begins, that burden is already starting to crush him.

    Then Echidna smiles, and Subaru is forced to bear one more secret he cannot tell.

    Summary

    They are roommates before they are anything else, which is maybe the first mistake.

    At Tracen, Vodka and Daiwa Scarlet are known for the same things they’ve always been known for: losing to each other by inches, fighting over everything, and making the rest of Team Spica want to lock them in separate rooms until they learn how to act normal. But off the track, rivalry gets harder to name.

    The problem is that wanting to win is simple. Wanting each other is not.

    Summary

    The first body Itadori Yuuji ever sees as a rookie homicide detective is already cooling in a Shibuya alley when he ducks under the tape. He’s supposed to be learning how not to contaminate a crime scene; instead he finds himself assigned to Fushiguro Megumi, a permanently sleep-deprived detective with an emotional support scowl, and dragged into Gojo Satoru’s chaotic little corner of the Shibuya Homicide Unit.

    As a string of neatly executed salaryman murders closes in around them, Yuuji tries to prove he belongs in a world of blood, paperwork, and bad coffee—while his overprotective not-quite-brother Chousou watches uneasily from the edges of the law.

    Across the river, Getou Suguru is building something out of middlemen and dead accountants, watching the news and the man he used to stand beside. Six years after everything between them shattered, Gojo and Geto find themselves on opposite sides of the same case again—this time with new kids caught in the crossfire.

    Summary

    after the summer festival, yoshiki starts writing down every difference between the dead boy he loved and the thing still wearing his face.

    it’s supposed to help him remember. it’s supposed to keep grief from turning him stupid. instead, it turns into something uglier: a record of every gesture, every almost-touch, every moment hikaru becomes too much like himself or too much like the one yoshiki lost.

    then hikaru finds it.

    and if memory is one kind of violence, being seen back might be another.

    or: yoshiki tries to keep grief and desire in separate boxes and discovers neither of them listens.

    Summary

    He yanked the door open, the November air biting instantly at his skin. “Kid?” he said, his voice low and rough. “What the fuck are you doing here?”

    Daisuke’s gaze dropped to his shoes, his shoulders slumping as though the weight of his own words threatened to crush him. He shifted uncomfortably, his hands fidgeting at his sides, and for a moment, it seemed like he might not speak at all. When he finally did, his voice was small, hesitant, barely above a whisper.

    “Hey, uh, Mr. Swansea,” He swallowed, his words catching in his throat before he forced them out. “I—I didn’t have anywhere else to go.”

    Summary

    It’s not like the movies. There’s no poetic quiet, no peaceful passing. It’s nothing like those Boy Scout lectures—ones he never really wanted to attend, anyway—where they droned on about the stages of trauma and what to expect in an emergency. Those were clean, clinical lessons, delivered with the certainty that everything could be fixed if you followed the steps.

    No one mentioned how his own heartbeat would drown out every other sound, how the pain would radiate through his body in waves, making his thoughts crash like flotsam on jagged rocks.

    No one told him how cold it would get. How lonely.

    Summary

    Swansea scratched his stubbled chin, his expression unreadable. He wasn’t good at this kind of thing—feelings, heart-to-hearts, or whatever this was. But the kid looked like he was about to fall apart, and for some reason, Swansea couldn’t just leave it at that.

    "Right. Well, sitting here sulking won’t fix it," Swansea said, rolling his shoulders like he was preparing for battle. "Get up."

    Daisuke blinked. “Huh?”

    “I said get up, kid. We’re going to the kitchen.”

    Summary

    “I hate this,” Angel muttered after a moment, his voice trembling slightly.

    “Hate what?” Aki asked, his tone gentle but probing.

    Angel exhaled sharply, his free hand gripping the blanket like a lifeline. “Feeling whatever this is. Like I’m going to shatter if you touch me for too long.”

    Summary

    Just then, a new notification pinged on his screen, and Augustine’s heart leaped into his throat. His breath hitched as he saw the subject line: ‘In regards to your application status’. He froze for a split second before scrambling to click on the email, his eyes scanning the text with a frantic urgency.

    Slowly, it loaded.

    “Winnie, hold on a second,” Augustine said, his voice barely above a whisper, brimming with a mix of nerves and excitement.

    And loaded.

    “Auggie?” Winnie’s voice was tinged with a hint of something unfamiliar. Worry, maybe?

    And loaded some more.

    ‘Congratulations! We are excited to inform you that you have been accepted into our university community as an Elk!’

    “Holy shit,” Augustine finally blurted out. If his voice was trembling, Winnie didn’t mention it. “I got in.”

    Summary

    Truly, there was only one word that came to mind when Augustine considered their predicament—fuck.

    Or, if he were to put it more delicately, dire.
