Summary
I can make you better.
These were the words that crept into the boys’ brains. At first, it was easy enough to ignore the voice, to write it off as a bad dream or something overheard in line for a coffee. But soon it was as if the words refused to leave. They repeated over and over again in their sleep, during meals, even in the practice rooms. Any other thoughts were suffocated by the promise of potential, the weight of a decision they weren’t sure they completely understood.
Eventually, the voice disappeared–or went too quiet to hear. With their debut creeping ever closer and their manager seemingly more frustrated than ever, the boys worry their dreams may be farther out of reach than ever before. A mind can only last so long under immense pressure before collapsing, and the mysterious offer to be made better lives daily in the back of their minds.
Maybe, just maybe, it wouldn't hurt to get a taste.

Five Times Blackbeard Couldn't Tell Stede He Loved Him (and One Time He Does) by lilpinkfrog

Summary
Describing the fearsome pirate Blackbeard's love life as depressing was an underexaggeration. Having a reputation as a ruthless killer and untouchable monster wasn't exactly conducive to finding romance on the high seas. For most of his life, Blackbeard had relegated himself to a lonely life full of death and fear and booze.
Stede Bonnet ruined all of that. His terribly silky hair and endearing enthusiasm and beaming smile were, evidently, the one thing that could tear down Blackbeard's walls until he felt like Ed again. It was because of this silly, beautiful man that Blackbeard would face the most terrifying thing he'd ever done: working up the courage to admit his feelings.

Summary
When Yanfei is stuck in Inazuma following a legal case, Beidou advises her to take the time to relax before heading back to Liyue. Unfortunately, Yanfei seems to know how to do everything *but* relax. As she laments her forced vacation, a soft-spoken, kind-hearted samurai crosses her path with only one goal: to help the stressed lawyer take time for herself and learn how to simply breathe.

Summary
The biggest lie Stede Bonnet had ever been told was that he was a lighthouse. This was also the greatest truth.
When Stede stumbles upon an actual lighthouse, he takes up the position of keeper without a second thought. Sure, he has no clue what he's doing, and sure, he has never been the outdoorsy type, but no matter. His people-first management style and abundant optimism are all he needs.
As Stede builds his new life, he finds himself drawn more and more to the ocean surrounding his lighthouse. He can't help but wonder what is really out there in the sea.
The Man in the Sea wonders about the new keeper as well.
