Summary
After a falling out with his parents regarding his future, Ren Amamiya enrolls in a culinary arts academy in the United States.
There, miles across the sea, he has a chance encounter with Goro Akechi, who’d left him with a single glove and the memory of a bitterly cold winter evening.
…He also learns that Akechi really can’t cook to save his life, nor can he afford takeout at the moment.
Ren, eager to prove himself beyond curry and coffee, needs a harsh critic in order to hone his culinary skills. Someone who won’t just nod politely and choke down whatever’s on the plate.
So, they strike up another deal.
Ren will prepare a new dish each time they meet. Akechi will taste it, and give his verdict.
If Ren can get Akechi to rank any meal an honest ten out of ten, then that means he’s succeeded.It’s a simple deal. And nothing could possibly complicate things.

Summary
"My followers were yours, and you've had more before that. You know how to lead, and we're the only two that could do it indefinitely. I've already been benefiting from your guidance up until this point, and I still could."
The flock just keeps growing. I can care for it on a large scale, but it's more feasible to stay on top of things on a more, I guess… relational level if there's more than just one person at the head," they explain with a nod, seeming satisfied with themself. And oddly, it's their forthright manner here that's throwing him off guard, more than anything.
Through the crown, he had listened in on their sermons. They were a talented preacher, sometimes fearsome and sometimes loving, always grandiose. He'd drunk deep of the devotion their fervor inspired, and of their own fidelity to the gospel in their hand, penned carefully in his name. Their own worship.
And now, they spoke to him as if they were haggling with one of the vendors on the outskirts. Like that poorly disguised cannibal who sold them fish.
"So, I think it'd be a logical course of action if we just get married, and lead together," they finish, nodding again.-
Every time the Lamb proposes, ect.

Summary
John, a hockey player with a promising career ahead of him, is partially blinded after an accident during the Olympic gold-medal hockey game. Unable to play professional hockey anymore, he moves back to his hometown and begins to make a life for himself without professional skating. However, he longs for something more than bar hockey leagues can offer him. So when figure skating coach Parker Yang comes to him with an offer—a chance to win an Olympic gold medal as a figure skater, paired with the infamously temperamental but wildly talented Arthur Lester—he accepts. Something is better than nothing, right?
Except that Arthur hates him on sight, and “temperamental” turns out to mean “rude, self-absorbed, and excruciating to work with.”
Neither Arthur nor John is happy with the arrangement, but with no other options and the Olympic season rapidly approaching, they reluctantly begin training. As John gets to know Arthur better—and meets Arthur’s seven-year-old daughter, Faroe—he begins to realize that there’s more to the man than he first thought. But will they be able to take home the Olympic gold medal? And will John be able to skate with a man that he is slowly but surely falling in love with?

Summary
Your kindness is suspicious for I do not deserve it.
---
Corvo hasn’t stopped thinking about the one who killed her. The one who took away his daughter, took over his life, took everything he had. A greedy man he was, the infamous Knife of Dunwall, taking and taking and taking. Come and gone in a flash, the whole city falling apart in his wake, burying Corvo in the rubble. More blood, always more blood. Corvo feels like he'll forever be drowning in it.
Daud hasn’t stopped thinking about the one who tried to save her. The look on the bodyguard‘s face has been burned into his eyes, following him everywhere he goes. Death clings to him with cold hands: Corvo Attano, the ever-stoic Royal Protector, turned into a vicious animal by Daud’s hand. Daud regrets so much it just might kill him. He can’t wait for that day to come.
Their paths cross, then intertwine, and nothing remains as it was.

Summary
After escaping the TVA, Loki can settle anywhere in the universe, and no one is more surprised than he is that he chooses Midgard. But that’s where his fellow Asgardians have settled, and their new home is once again in peril of complete destruction—this time, from the awakening of The Midgard Serpent. Loki has the knowledge and will to destroy it, if only he can convince Earth’s mystic gatekeeper to let him in. Unfortunately, that man is the stubborn, cocky—handsome—Sorcerer Supreme, Doctor Stephen Strange.
Doctor Strange has enough problems, and he doesn’t want to add indulging infamous villain Loki to his to-do list. For one thing, he’s not about to trust history’s most consistent betrayer. For another, he’s not willing to trust his own heart. But as the earth begins to shake apart, both men must set aside their pretenses and work together to find answers—to besting The Serpent, to saving the world, and to navigating the intoxicating, undeniable connection between the god and the sorcerer.

“Your password?”
Childe attempted to round the corner to type it in himself, but Kaeya placed a firm hand on the counter, “You can just tell me. The hint is ‘tell the truth’.”
Childe steeled himself, “It’s ilikebigbutts.” he let it out all in one breath, “All lowercase, no spaces.”
He braced himself for a torrent of derisive comments, but Kaeya simply typed it in, commenting, “That’s not a very secure password.”
“It’s a joke, a friend set it for me. I like all kinds of butts. Not just big ones, it’s a...it’s a blanket statement.”
Kaeya let his gaze meet Childe’s for a moment, and Childe noticed a flash of amusement. But it went as fast as it came, just like Childe’s will to live.- Language:

"No."
Albedo is a couple years ahead intellectually and ends up in a class with the one, the only Kaeya Alberich and needlessly to say, it is impossible to not catch feelings for that man.
