    Summary

    Takumi Aldini's cooking has been recognized througout his town and the kingdom. When word reaches the kind, the king sends men bearing all sorts of gifts to woo him to being his personal chef. Takumi turns everything down all for the sake of keeping his family restaurant going. When famine strikes the land, his mind changes. He takes the new king, King Suzuki, up on his offer and enlists as a royal chef in exchange for food and other goods for his family.

    When he arrives, however, he realizes it was all a lie and he would be forced into labor with no compensation. Takumi fights back with his cooking, putting his life on the line with one dish to blow the king away and bargain for his release.

    Takumi loses and is thrown into the kitchen as a forced laborer. As he believes all is lost however, a familiar face, Soma Yukihira, is there and comforts him, promising him that together they can find a way to escape, somehow. Takumi wants to believe him, he really does, but…

    Summary

    Nagisa, known to everyone else as Lady Nagisa, is about to be married off to Lord Gakushu Asano, the wealthy son of famous Navy Commander and Pirate Hunter. He always thought his biggest problem was keeping his mother's temper at bay and somehow continuing the facade that he is a girl even after the dreaded wedding. What Nagisa hadn't expected was to be captured the day before the wedding and held for ransom by a crew of mean, frightening young pirates. And the worst one of all...was Captain Karma Akabane himself. (All characters are of age in this fic)

    Summary

    What does it mean to bear the gift to see glimpses of the afterlife?

    What does that make a person?

    To some, a Witch, to others, an Exorcist, to most, a Freak.

     

    ____

    Like his Father, Tanjirou has been able to see Spirits for nearly his entire life.
    He's dedicated himself to helping them move on to a proper afterlife; so much so that he's willing to help a broken soul find peace even if it means cutting fresh ties with new faces in his life. But then there's a face from the past, with emerald eyes framed by dark, messy hair, suddenly bumping into him one particular autumn morning, and he catches himself slipping- spending more and more time with this resurrected flame from High School and nearly forgetting the promise he not only made to his Father, but himself as well.

    Summary

    The Trattoria Aldini is a rising restaurant in Paris. Part of its fame comes from the quality of the food, but also from a mysterious being that forces awful food down people's throats at night. It seems harmless enough at first, but if Erina Nakiri, the most feared critique in the world, were to be attacked, this could mean the end of the Trattoria. Fortunately, detective Jouichirou Yukihira and his sexy assistant Gin Doujima are here to save the day!

    Meanwhile, the cooking of Megumi, the new aide, suddenly starts improving but her dishes taste nothing like her. However, that doesn't seem to bother the head chef, Takumi, who is only taking it as a new challenge, much to her dismay.

    What exactly is happening in the Trattoria? And how will these events affect everyone's life?
