Summary
Yoo Joonghyuk had gotten Kim Dokja figured out.
Mostly figured out. Partially, perhaps. Well, Yoo Joonghyuk at least knew with absolute certainty that Kim Dokja was an avoidant fool.
Or, three ways to get past the avoidant defense mechanisms of one irritating reader, developed by Yoo Joonghyuk, with Kim Dokja's response as an afterword.

Summary
"It's not just that, though. He's not an attentive student, but he always helps teachers carry their stuff. He even opens the door for me whenever we head to the roof. One time, we were skateboarding and he stopped to help a grandpa cross the street."
"Oh my god, our knight in shining armor," Miya deadpanned. To his utter disbelief, Langa's expression lit up at the sarcastic metaphor.
"Yeah! He's always acting like some sort of knight. Always taking care of someone, wanting to protect them." He nodded enthusiastically.
.
Four times Reki beats Langa at a game he doesn't even know he's playing, and one time Langa's pretty sure he's finally gotten the hang of it.
Alternatively, Langa attempts to take care of Reki in the way Reki takes care of him.

Summary
"Let's play a game." Khun grinned, releasing Bam. The chestnut-haired boy sighed in relief. "If I can guess how you got this," he pointed to the Black March. "You will climb the Tower with me. It's not a totally bad deal, since you've seen how strong I am."
Bam cocked his head to the side, seemingly forgetting all about the tension between them. Khun was almost impressed. "What's a game?"
But that impression dwindled into nothing rather quickly. Geez, this guy... he was going to be a handful. How did he not know what a game was? Khun didn't let any of his surprise show in his face, though, as he casually answered, "A game is something you play in order to win something."

Summary
“You know my name.” he said slowly. “Don’t you?”
“Heard of… the magic genius… after the Blizzard?” Harry heard his sword clatter to the floor. The colors were blending together. Harry blinked thrice, looking at the ceiling and back at Voldemort’s face.
Then it clicked. He had been attacked by a man who had studied and mastered magic in less than two decades.
“I’m not gonna get paid enough for this… am I now?”
Harry is a witcher, a monster slayer for hire who goes all around the country exchanging his services for coin. Tom is a brilliant mage in the Slytherin District with a mean streak, an awful history of mood swings and the potential to take over the whole country if he saw fit.
Even if he can't remember the first eighteen years of his existence, at least Harry could still understand the concept of witchers primarily working alone. It was a little unfortunate that Tom, for all his intelligence, couldn't grasp such a thing.
Well, at least Harry would now have company whenever he gets himself kidnapped or maimed.

Summary
"But with Potter in the picture, you end up chucking things in fouler moods than your perpetual rain cloud of a phase in First Year.”
“Do not mention our First Year.”
Before Tom Riddle bore witness to Harry Potter tipping over and falling off of his broom, he had interacted with the bespectacled boy a total of eleven times. And although neither Tom nor Harry would remember it in their fifth year, it started in their first Potions class.
A prequel (that can stand alone) to the Harry Potter's Attempts at Botching Tom Riddle's Love Confessions series, set before Two Different Kinds of Falling.

Summary
Tom liked his plans, he liked having everything organized and he liked having control over his surroundings and his own reactions. He was meticulous, analytic, his every single step calculated.
And well, Harry was just. Not.

Summary
The Weasley twins are far sneakier than most give them credit for, but Tom wasn't going to complain if their antics helped push Harry in the right direction. You know, towards him.
On Harry's end, though, he had every right to be suspicious of them when their latest prank ends up surprisingly tame. But he's not gonna complain about that, either.

Summary
Tom Riddle had planned to take Blaise Zabini's advice to heart. He really had it all planned out, honest. Even if he half-expected Harry to sabotage his plans at getting closer again, he hadn't expected the anomaly to come in the form of Harry's sudden lack of interest in food.
Merlin, help him.

Summary
Harry liked Professor Merrythought, and he absolutely adored taking her class, DADA. However, it stopped becoming as enticing as it was before when Merrythought announces that they'll be doing mock duelling today.
.
"Mr. Riddle and Mr. Potter, please come to the front.”
Perhaps today was Harry’s birthday because she seemed so adamant in giving him the gift of cardiac arrest.

Summary
“Eiji, what the fuck are you doing?”
“Idiot, this could very well be a trap. No, don’t you dare—”
“Shh! You’re going to wake the whole mansion!”
“Excuse me, we’re gonna wake the mansion? The fuck you pullin’? You’re one to talk, you’re about to wake this random dude up—”
“—are you shitting me, he’s dressed like he’s gonna pull up in daddy’s limo and strut like some fun-sized CEO—”
“Oh, wow, that was oddly specific. Sing, hold my camera. If you accidentally break it, I’ll accidentally break you.”
---
Hidden in one of the city's many corners is a small and relatively unknown orphanage where fifteen-year-old Eiji Okumura lived. But perhaps "orphanage" was not the right word to describe Chang Dai, a place Nadia Wong and Charlie Dickinson created to protect a very small number of children from the eyes of the government and the faulty foster system. After years of hiding from his own demons and protecting the younger ones from theirs, Eiji could almost forget that they weren't exactly safe.
At least, until he met Ash Lynx while breaking into Lee Mansion.
At least, until he found out about Project Banana Fish.

Summary
Harry hated Valentine's Day, and Tom didn't know exactly why. But when Harry made no move to confront Tom after the Gryffindor-Slytherin Match, Tom had to resign himself to plotting again.
He took into account Harry's Gryffindor tendencies and questionable abhorrence for Valentine's Day, of course. But Tom failed to account for the fact that Harry was doing everything in his power to help Tom realize that he would be daft to like someone like him.

Summary
Harry wasn’t stupid, he was almost sorted into Slytherin for Merlin’s sake. He knows that Tom Riddle’s interested, even if the poor guy didn’t seem to know it himself. The bloody idiot’s almost revealed his own feelings, like about twelve times, but then again Harry wasn’t sorted into Slytherin for a reason. He was kind, and he couldn’t help but feel a little bad for the emotionally constipated Slytherin Prefect. So, he decided to help out by trying to make Riddle realize that no, he would be a terrible candidate for the top student’s love interest.
It started on the Quidditch Pitch, and of course it bloody well did.
Alternatively, Harry's first sabotaging of Tom’s attempts at asking him out, much to Tom’s future confusion and frustration.
(This is the first part of a twelve-part series.)
