    Summary

    Growing up, Hongjoong had heard whispered tales about the Manyeo, a cult of dark magic users that were stolen as children and moulded to become monsters. Some say that they trade their souls for power, some say that they kill anyone who sees them, some say that they're just a myth to make children behave. Once he became an adult, a pirate captain, Hongjoong had passed the Manyeo off as being figures of fiction.

    But the man locked in an enemy ship's brig had all the signs: the tattoos down his back, the dye that stained his fingertips, the clothes and weapons and jewellery. Maybe he really was a Manyeo, and maybe that was why his lips had been sewn shut. You can't cast spells if you can't speak.

    If he had been a wise man, Hongjoong would have killed the stranger while he was weak. If he had been a wise man, he wouldn't have looked into the other's eyes and noticed how they seemed to hold all the stars from the night sky. But Hongjoong had never claimed to be a wise man, and he wasn't about to start now.

    Summary

    Seonghwa isn't too sure what to think of his mysterious omega neighbor with the sweet strawberry scent and pretty smile, who shows up in his quaint, predictable life with a bang, uninvited but wholly welcomed.

    But Hongjoong's past is more than meets the eye, and Seonghwa is falling harder and faster than he'd ever expected.

    Summary

    “You’re kind of cute.” Shit. He had not meant to say that out loud.

    Wooyoung also looked at him with the same alarm. “I just told you I want to sacrifice men to the woods.”

    “Yes, but you sounded so happy,” San tried to explain himself, his cheeks glowing because this was kind of embarrassing. “Ahem, like please just don’t help me back to the ground or whatever."

    Wooyoung was still staring at him as if he had two heads, muttering under his breath. “He’s crazy. Periwinkle, I let a crazy person inside our house.”

    "I'm not crazy!"

    Or:

    San loves stories but most of all his own.

    Summary

    “Because of the massive, unrequited crush I have on Katsuki!”

    The table is quiet for one collective beat. Sero stares at Kirishima with genuine confusion.

    “The unrequited crush you have…on your boyfriend?” He asks.

    Kirishima freezes. Stares. “Katsuki isn’t my boyfriend.” He says.

    He’s met with only more silence. All three of his friends look at him like he’s said something particularly absurd. 

    “We’re not dating.” He insists.

    Kaminari’s eyebrows furrow. He hesitates before he leans across the table. “Eijiro…” He says slowly, “...Are you sure?”
