    Summary

    Seabright Bay is too small to breathe in, and Izuku Midoriya swore he’d never come back. But his mother is sick, so he does — the town, the ocean, and the boy who made it hell all waiting where he left them. Katsuki Bakugou isn’t the golden prodigy anymore, he’s a sun-bleached apology in a surf shop, a storm he never learned to name.

    What started at thirteen with salt, a kiss and a cruelty, it never stopped pulling. Years of silence calcified into hate, regret, and a want neither of them knows how to survive. Now they keep colliding: in doorways and bars, on sandbars and sidewalks, caught between who they were and who they’re terrified to be. Izuku is done drowning. Bakugou is done pretending the tide isn’t his fault.

    This is about the love you survive, the apologies that come too late, and the kind of forgiveness that feels like standing in the break and choosing to stay.

     
    “Because the truth was, loving Bakugou had never been the problem. It was surviving it.”

    “You don’t get to call this unfinished, you hear me? You ended it the second you made me wish I was someone else.”

    Summary

    At sixteen Wei Wuxian is—through some strange twist of fate, or a nick in the layer between parallel universes, who knows—out of the blue confronted with that one incense burner dream one night.

    While his curious mind is left unable to stop poking at this new perspective on Lan Wangji, circumstances in the Cloud Recesses begin to change and Wei Wuxian is suddenly presented with life-altering opportunities.

    Maybe Gusu isn’t so bad after all?

    (Or alternatively: The fic where I get to give Wei Wuxian the academic scholarship he deserves while simultaneously getting him hitched early on.)

    This fic has a Spanish and a Portuguese translation! Please visit the links in the Notes of Chapter 1 to read!

    Summary

    Chuuya’s life is unexpectedly great: Yokohama is at peace, he hasn’t seen Dazai since Meursault and his wine cellar is always full.

    But, when Double Black is asked to take care of a Gifted child, Chuuya faces the ghosts of his past: his heart, his old partner, his loyalty.

    He can’t fail this mission. He owes it to the child, to the Flags, to his family, to himself.

    Enter Dazai.

    Or: Nakahara Chuuya’s guide on how to raise a child with your traitor ex-partner (that you might be in love with).

    And of course there’s only one bed.

    Summary

    “In exchange for getting me out of here, you can have me.”

     

    Chuuya thought he had nothing else to live for. He had run away from everything he knew only to be captured and sentenced to a fate worse than death. His hope was long gone. That is until one fateful night he meets a mysterious stranger that turns his life around for the better… or worse.

    One problem still remained: he hated his guts.

    Dazai Osamu is the most irritating person he’s ever had the displeasure of meeting, and now Chuuya was aboard his ship. Chuuya knows nothing of this cold newcomer or why he is risking everything to achieve his goal. But worst of all, he knows nothing of what fate has in store for them on the high seas.

    Or

    An 18th century pirate’s tale featuring an emotionally constipated pirate king and a just-as-bad-with-feelings protagonist where they maybe, sort of, perhaps fall in love. (spoiler alert: they do).
