Summary
You and Noah exist on opposite ends of a religious spectrum, yet you have a specific type of trauma in common.
Noah, a delinquent who grew up in poverty and has seen firsthand the ugly underbelly of society, carries an immense anger at the pain and suffering caused by God and the church, both to him and to world around him.
You, a pastor's daughter who has been sheltered from all things secular and sinful, carry a jaw-clenching anxiety over the thought of winding up in Hell should you ever stray from the path of righteousness.
When you get roped in to overseeing community service for two young men who were caught vandalizing the campus worship center, you come face-to-face with Noah and his steadfast anger. And for the first time, you find yourself questioning whether you actually believe everything you've been taught, and what happens when you stop letting the fear of going to Hell control your every decision.
The question remains:
Who will be saving who?

Summary
There's a terrible moment of silence once Chan finishes explaining their plan. Felix considers making a run for the door, but one of the members would probably tackle him first.
“So we’re not going with my plan to call Dispatch and make out with one of my friends outside?” Changbin asks, pouting a little. “I have a make-out boy on speed dial.”
“You still use speed dial?” Minho asks. “Are you my dongsaeng or what?”
After agreeing to a company-mandated romantic relationship for the cameras, Felix is forced to reexamine some long-held beliefs about his feelings for Chan.

Summary
“Is there a theme for this album?” Seungmin asks. “A collection of diss tracks, perhaps?”
“More like a collection of love letters,” Jisung says. He doesn’t look at Seungmin while he says it, but he does look after. He sees in Seungmin everything he’s been afraid Seungmin will see in him. So much tenderness, so much understanding, so much history.
“Yeah?” Seungmin asks.
“Yeah,” Jisung answers.
…
Jisung is an idol in the midst of a career ruining scandal that leaves him socially isolated. He seeks out his old childhood best friend, Seungmin, but finds that reconciliation doesn’t come easily. After all, he and Seungmin have a complicated past, and an even more complicated future ahead of them.

Summary
Whatever carefully blank expression Lestat is trying on disappears like a slap. “Armand made a fledgling. Why would he do that?” Lestat asks.
“Oh, you know,” Louis says, watching the three dots of a new text pop up. “He knew Daniel was… important to me.”
He means to say it with rueful annoyance, as if to say, “so he ruined him.” But as Daniel’s text comes in—the most important question I should have asked you in that fucking interview: where do you buy coke in Dubai?—Louis’s voice trails off, his words maybe lacking some of the bite.
or
Lestat misunderstands what Daniel is to Louis and tries to be a champ about it. Meanwhile Louis rediscovers his drug of choice—Lestat.

Summary
“You’re blue today,” Jisung says when they sit beneath their great oak.
“You can’t feel colors,” Seungmin mutters. He watches the grass dance. He sprinkles daisy petals on Jisung’s face.
“I can feel your colors,” Jisung hums. His eyelashes flutter against his cheeks.
“What do my colors feel like?” Seungmin asks. He arranges some of the petals in a line across Jisung’s forehead.
“Safe,” Jisung whispers, so quiet it's almost lost in the wind. Seungmin has never seen him so at peace.
In a small beach town in the middle of nowhere, Seungmin learns what love is to him as he spends his childhood with a sunshine-moonlight boy who feels sunset orange, a little purple and sometimes a little bit like a storm. Seungmin knows most people don’t like those who are too many things, but he thinks the ones who are too many things are special. Jisung just happens to be more special than the rest.

Summary
Chan felt the steady pull of grief in his chest, heavier than anything he’d ever carried. He didn’t want to think about tomorrow, about the fact that they might not have another day like this, that soon, he would sit beside Jisung’s bed, holding his hand as his breath slowed, as his body stilled. He had been present for so many endings, had watched life slip away from countless patients over the years, that he had thought he'd hardened to it.
But this was Jisung.
His Jisung.
The boy who had first met him with a teasing grin, despite the IV drip in his arm. The boy who had kept the entire ward entertained with his sharp wit, who made Chan laugh even when exhaustion pressed heavy on his shoulders. The boy who, even through the pain, had an endless capacity for love: for small things, for the world, for the people around him.
And now, Chan was losing him.
Or: A nurse, a patient and a bucket list road trip.

Summary
Astarion and Gale are two sides of the same coin. They know what it's like to hunger, what it's like to be someone else's tool, both used to fulfill someone else's goals. Astarion has never been allowed to love, has only ever wanted peace and safety. Gale has searched for love his entire life, yearning to find someone who wants to be loved by him. They both want someone who sees them.
This is my take on Astarion and Gale learning what it means to find someone who sees beyond what they can offer (Astarion's body, Gale's magic). The story of what it's like to fall in love with someone who might just love you back.
Begins in the prequel, set during Act One, when they both feel drawn to one another, but there's not a time nor place for anything deeper. It continues, months later, after the brain, after Baldur's Gate, in the magnificent city of Waterdeep, a fresh start for them both, and time to heal from wounds neither knew they had.

Summary
People don't want to be broken into pieces for Gale, and so he pretends that he doesn't hunger for it.
For knowledge.
For the power that comes with true understanding.
For the intimacy of it.
He tries not to force his companions open like a book and devour them page by page; it would break their spine in the process.Astarion needs blood and protection.
Gale just ... needs.
They're both full of cracks.- Language:

Summary
Astarion is near the docks when he feels Cazador's compulsion on him snap. He doesn't think twice. He just takes the next available ship out of Baldur's Gate. Its destination: The City of Splendors. Waterdeep.
*
Gale takes back the glass, now empty, and then seems to fidget a little. “There is something I wanted to get your opinion on- but it can wait until you’ve recovered. You don’t look well at all- no offense meant, of course.”
“None taken,” Astarion says sweetly. “Please go on. Tell me exactly what it is about my appearance that you find lacking.”

Summary
Felix's mother had tried, and failed, to present him with potential suitors, but he felt nothing but contempt for anyone he had come across. Everyone felt like a fraud, filled with hot air and faux interest in him due to his title.
That was, until he became reacquainted with an old family friend he'd known as a child, one of Minho's university chums, Christopher Bang, who he could not seem to get off of his mind. Unfortunately for him, Felix's mother had set about arrangements for him to marry his sister, instead.
TLDR: A Bridgerton!AU, old friends to strangers to lovers, in which Felix cannot deny his feelings for his fiancee's brother.

Summary
Jeongin has always known he’ll be married to an offworlder and end up settled far away from home. Sedaora Selene I is nothing like his own planet, with its lush jungles and warm climate. A moon orbiting a gas giant, the homeworld of his new fiance is cold and grey and worships a god with no face, its surface covered by a black, choppy ocean that never settles. Selene I’s grim and strange reputation far precedes it, but Jeongin has gotten no other offers and no longer has a choice. At least Prince Chan seems kind, and is near enough to Jeongin in age.
Minho has been betrothed to the omega son of his father’s closest advisor, Felix, since he was eight and Felix was merely five. As the only child of the Dityodos, expectation and duty weighs as heavily on Minho as his crown. He and Felix are the darlings of Selene I, a match blessed by the Maker himself. With his cousin, Chan, now finally betrothed and soon to be wed, it will not be long before Minho, too, is expected to make good on the promise his father made sixteen years ago.
And then Chan comes back with his new intended in tow, sun-kissed and vibrant. Jeongin is a perfect match for Chan in every way. But that does not stop Minho's head from turning.

Summary
Hyunjin just wants nice things.
Like a loving romantic relationship that spans decades with dates and long-distance video calls while the love of his life is out saving their tiny solar system. He wants to be courted, to be wooed, and then taken on nice dates. He wants week-long spaceship rides circling his home planet before being forced to land and get back to his everyday life.
He wants love.
All consuming and overpowering.
That is not Hyunjins's reality.
His reality is that he's the crowned prince of his planet. He's meant to rule and stand for his people. To fight for them and lead them into a new glamorous age of technology and wealth.
What Hyunjin gets is an arranged marriage to a man he barely even knows. A marriage of convenience to seal the treaties of their two planets and to keep them both from going to war with each other.
What Hyunjin fucking gets is kidnapped on his wedding night.
