Summary
Dry grass crunches beneath its dragging feet. The daylight glints off the tall buildings past where the grass and trees end. Tremors run down its left arm, as it always has. Has it? It isn’t sure. It can’t remember any time that it hasn’t. Yet sometimes it looks down at itself and feels something like confusion or shock, like it was expecting something else. Why would that happen if this is how it’s always been?
Something else moves in the near distance and it stops in its tracks.Series

Summary
Worn wood pressed into the calloused skin of his hands. Sweat and blood ran in rivulets down his torso, shirt already saturated through. The sun gleamed high in the sky unobstructed. With one last push, he and five others finished raising the anchor.
Yunho nearly dropped to the deck in a sudden rush of exhaustion. The cuts littering his body stung and his muscles felt weak. This raid was a harsh one, but unfortunately a very necessary one. They’d gone too long without anything for income and the entire crew was suffering for it. None of them were faring too well anymore, even the captain.
He sat down where he stood. Deep and fast breaths passed his lips. If he didn’t think his back would kill him for it, he’d be sorely tempted to just lie down and fall asleep right there. The sun baked his skin through the meager cover of fabric. His feet throbbed in his boots. He barely heard when someone else sat next to him and only opened his eyes to look when they nudged his leg with their own.Series

Summary
Yeosang looks up from his essay as his owl lands in front of him. In a mess of wind-blown, dark brown feathers, Maehwa flicks her wings and hoots softly, alerting him to the mail she carries. His heart speeds up minutely and a small grin lights up his face when he realizes the letter clutched in her claws is a tell-tale lavender color.
Neat but utilitarian handwriting nearly fills the entire page. He’d feel shy saying it out loud, but he’s always anticipated these letters more than anything else, especially over the last few years.
Before he can even read the first line, however, someone crashes into the seat next to him on the bench.
“Ooh, how’s your long-distance beau?”
Heat rushes to his face and he hurries to put the letter away as Wooyoung jerks to try and take it. Wandlessly but inconspicuously, he zaps Wooyoung’s hand with a very mild stinging hex.
"We're not dating, Wooyoung."
“Sure, so you say.”Series

Summary
Seonghwa sits at the counter of this seedy, underhanded bar nursing his second drink of the night. The only reasons he’s ever at a bar are to meet with a client under a thin veneer of propriety or to carry out a mark.
Right now, all of his attention is on the one person who’s always been in step with him. Dyed-light hair free and floating. Shoulders artfully curved and intentionally alluring. Long legs leaning up against the bar with at least two knives strapped beneath those pants. Deceptively friendly smile hiding a deadly purpose.
As they catch each other’s glinting eyes in the dim haze of the bar, Seonghwa feels his insides burn as though he’d downed a shot.Series

Summary
With it being the end of fall, the amount of customers they get on the daily is dropping off. Jongho doesn’t really mind it, honestly, though it can get pretty boring. He tends to fill a lot of the time with schoolwork in the winter. But since Christmas has yet to pass, there’s still a decent enough stream of customers for him.
So goes the usual day of anyone working retail in New York City.
It’s not a bad gig, overall, but it’s retail in the city, so.
As such, it only makes him pause for five seconds more than average when the bell above the door chimes to indicate someone entering and he looks up to see an average-sized person dressed in what looks to be a hooded cloak made up of seven separate old ladies’ drapes.Series

honestly, so creative. I loved the worldbuilding, the pre-story lore, the building relationships both between people and clans/groups
I was never able to completely predict where the storyline was gonna go, kept me on my toes! -

Summary
It began with rumors. Talks. Inquisitions. Quiet whispers that were more disbelieving than frightened. No one believed they would do it.
Because, really, what country would be stupid enough to actually drop all the bombs they threatened?
It was a scare tactic. They would never follow through.They did.
And there are those who refuse to die, and those who refuse to let others die.

Summary
Hogwarts is in dissaray over the conflicting views of whether or not Voldemort has returned, and the Ministry interferance is doing nothing to help. Trelawney, in a stroke of defiance, decided she doesn’t want to let Umbridge walk all over her and decided to try a rare summoning ritual in the same 5th year class that the toad was inspecting. To Harry, Ron and the rest of the school’s surprise, the summoning is a success!
Danny; alone, homeless and running is dragged into a hidden world on the brink of war. But help is always given at Hogwarts to those who deserve it. Once Danny receives the help he desperately needs, he returns the favor in ways that no one would ever expect.
As the magical community reels at the thought of a boy both alive and dead, the Golden Trio, now Quartet, face their futures with a whole new perspective.Series

Summary
“If you’re going to get married,” Jiang Cheng ground out, “then you’re going to damn well get married at Lotus Pier.”
Wei Wuxian blinked once. Again. Then: “what?”
Or: the one with sibling reconciliation, brother-in-laws from hell, and Jiang Cheng trying to sort through his feelings while acknowledging them as little as possible.

I cried. 10/10
It's heartbreakingly wonderful to read something like this from Jiang Cheng's POV, since he's probably the most emotionally constipated character I've met in my life.
