Summary
He’s warm, Astarion realizes, and curls a bit closer. Steady, soft heat, far better than the thin blanket Astarion usually covers himself in. They don’t usually sleep this close, but the relentless chill of the Shadow-Cursed Lands has Astarion chasing his warmth.
Kairos hums, and shifts so he can bury his face in Astarion’s hair. “You smell good.”
“Bergamot and rosemary,” Astarion mumbles. “Covers up the corpse smell.”
“I like the corpse smell,” Kairos replies, unabashed, like the freak he is.
Perhaps the Dark Urge is not the safest companion Astarion could have chosen to seduce. In his defense, he's not exactly a details person.

Summary
The Duchess Approves is terrible. He wants to bleach every brick of his body just to purify himself of this three hour experience. He wants to pluck out his eyeball and treat it to a ten-day spa as reparations. He demands a sequel from the Axolotl during their next therapy session.
The Axolotl tilts their head. “There's no sequel. Only one movie has ever been made.”
Bill glowers. “But what happens after?”
“Production went into debt after casting big name Grampton St. Rumpterfrabble,” the Axolotl answers sadly. “Rumor has it he charges fifty thousand per letter.”
“Wonderful,” Bill drawls. “Real useful information. So what am I supposed to do now, doc?”
The Axolotl’s eyes gleam suspiciously. “I suppose there’s always fanfiction.”
Or: Bill hates a certain fanfic author almost as much as he hates the man who killed him. Crazy, wouldn't it be, if the two were the same person.

Summary
Kairos bares his neck, displaying the expanse of his throat. “You don’t owe me,” he murmurs, as he beckons Astarion forward. “You told me it was a gift that first time, didn’t you? Gifts aren’t repaid.”
“Hm.” Astarion trails a light touch up Kairos’ throat, forcing him to angle his head back further. “In children’s books, perhaps. You’re rather naive, with fangs at your throat.”
“You’re not very scary,” Kairos responds, and Astarion bites him.
Astarion waits for it to get worse. Strangely, it never does.

Summary
“I want to try,” Fiddleford says, gentle and windswept, “to be something good for you.”
Hope is a silly thing. It has burned Stan one too many times, and yet Stan keeps letting it, fool that he is. “Okay,” he agrees, and folds their hands together. It’s a clumsy fit: Stan’s fingers are thick and calloused, Fiddleford’s spindly and bitten at the nail. “Let’s try to be something good.”
Stan and Fiddleford try to be something good. It takes them thirty years. Companion piece to meltwater pulse, but can be read as a standalone.

Summary
“Why did you buy…” Ford rummages through one of Stan's grocery bags. “...sixteen packs of gummy koalas?"
Stan may have amnesia, but someone needs to take care of the Pines family.

Summary
Stan jerks away, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. “I’m not going to be second-best,” he growls, eyes dark. There’s a certain angry defiance in Stan that’s enrapturing, white-hot like wildfire. “I know I’m not as good as him, but I can’t—” His chest heaves. “I won’t do that to myself.”
Fiddleford reaches up, tracing the curve of his cheekbone. And it only takes his touch for Stan to fall apart again, to tremble like a newborn calf.
Beautiful, Fiddleford thinks.

Summary
"This is not a date," Seokjin says frostily. "This is a highly important business meeting between superhero and supervillain. I hate you," he adds, just for good measure.
The softness in Namjoon's eyes is almost unbearable. "Okay," he agrees. "Can I still walk you home?"
Seokjin bites his cheek to prevent a smile and looks away. "If you insist."
-Seokjin is a villain. Namjoon is a hero. They are each other's destruction. And Seokjin is irrefutably, immeasurably in love with him.

Summary
"Listen.” Seokjin sucked in a breath. “I know that Jimin’s gonna grill the shit out of me if he finds out we dated-” his voice caught on the word- “so if you could just keep this on the downlow, that would be…”
“Yeah, I feel the same.” Namjoon rocked back and forth on his heels nervously. He was even more gorgeous than Namjoon had remembered. That wasn't fair. How was any of this fair?
Seokjin bit his lip. “I hope we can become friends again,” he said softly. “I’ve missed you.”
Namjoon pushed down all those words he wanted to say (Why did you break up with me? Why have you never contacted me? How can you just act so normal?), but he gave a sharp nod. “Me too,” he muttered, and if the words got stuck halfway in his throat, well, Seokjin didn't comment.

In the midst of fleeting glances, shared smiles, and five friends trying to set them up, Namjoon forgets he's supposed to be heartbroken.Series

Summary
“Namjoon!” Namjoon jolted at the sound of Hoseok’s voice and tore his eyes away from the tank. The mermaid slipped back down into the water, effortlessly graceful. “Come on down, let’s go get dinner!” At Namjoon’s stunned silence, he added, concerned, “Did he try to attack you?”
“On the contrary,” Namjoon tilted his head, still staring into the tank. The mermaid--Seokjin--winked at him sporadically with both eyes. “I think he was flirting.”
-
Namjoon, in love with the ocean, is drawn to the beach every morning to explore the sanded shores and rolling waves. One day, he finds something...different washed up on shore, and falls in love with him too. -

Summary
It was with an air of importance in which Jungkook leisurely walked up to a lunch table, cleared his throat, and slammed down his lunch tray onto the table, causing Jimin to jump. “Mr. Kim and Mr. Kim,” he announced, “are in love.”
Taehyung started choking on his water. Jimin raised an unimpressed eyebrow.
“Nah, they’re definitely just fucking,” he decided, while thumping Taehyung on the back rhythmically.
“Please,” Taehyung gasped, “they’re like our dads.”
“They’re in love,” Jungkook said. “And they’re oblivious and it’s my job as a student to ensure my teachers stop flirting for the sake of my education.”
“You’re not gonna set them up.” Horror slowly dawned on Taehyung’s face.
“I’m gonna set them up.”

Summary
Hoseok understood his fate. He welcomed his role as a sacrifice, knowing that his spilled blood would save that of thousands. Some were born lucky, and others not, and accepting the short end of the stick was easier than fighting it.
What he couldn't understand, however, was why Min Yoongi, the god of night, kept delaying his death.

Summary
Jungkook must have done something terrible in his past life to have Jimin almost kill him not once, but twice.
The first time was when he had swung at him with a giant watery fist and slammed him back into a concrete building. The second time was when he laughed at the sight of Jungkook’s notebook, with its scrawled formulas and random doodles, and the sight of his eyes crinkling and the peal of his laughter was enough to make Jungkook’s heart stop and he was going to die.

Or, where college student Jeon Jungkook finds his supposed coffee shop job a front for a villain organization and ends up working against classmate, crush, and superhero Park Jimin. -

Summary
His life had dissolved into this cycle: cross into a timeline, look for Namjoon, lose Namjoon, repeat. There was no such thing, in Seokjin’s mind as, soulmates. Fate gave them no easy way out. No, perhaps star-crossed was a better definition than soulbound.
-
Or, in which Seokjin is a time traveler, and Namjoon seems to be snatched out of his grasp no matter which timeline he chooses. -

Summary
And Takashi...Takashi is there.
He looks so different, with stark white hair and a prosthetic arm. His build is different too and a scar brands itself across the bridge of his nose.
He's breathtaking.
Adam's shaking legs brace himself against the wall and he can't help but stare and stare at Takashi, like a dying man in a desert to an oasis, because he could never have dreamed any of this up.
From across the room, Takashi--beautiful, stunning, alive Takashi-- turns his head slightly and their eyes lock.

Summary
When Shouto opens his eyes, he’s standing in a garden.
It isn’t an unfamiliar sight--he recognizes the crawling vines and budded flowers and the worn stone path. he kicks at a pebble and it skitters away. This garden’s a reoccuring location in his dreams. It’s alive whenever he visits but it always looks a little...desolate.
He walks around the path absentmindedly, watching his footsteps carefully as they crunch on polished stone. There’s a slight rustle and he whips his head up, confused.
A boy is standing at the edge of the garden, staring at a bud in wonder. He has curly hair and freckles, his head tilted to the side as he examines the flower. Shouto furrows his eyebrows. He can’t recall a time he’s seen a person in his dreams.
-
Shouto dreams in locations and Izuku walks though dreams, and through some stroke of fate they happen to meet. -

Summary
“Look." Kirishima took a step back, holding up both hands. “How about you give me a week to prove that you should go on a date with me? Just a week. Then I’ll leave you alone."
Bakugou clenched his fists and the fire went out. Smoke curled from his fingers. “Fine,” he spat, but there wasn't as much venom in his voice as Kirishima expected. “A week. Then get the fuck out of my life.” He pushed past Kirishima roughly and stalked out the door. Kirishima watched him go and let out a breath he didn't realize he was holding.
A week to get Bakugou to fall for him was totally plausible. After all, a week was only seven days. 168 hours. 10,080 minutes. Yes, Kirishima decided, he could definitely score a date with Bakugou in 10,080 minutes.

Summary
It’s quiet when Shouta wakes up.
He blinks, a bit disoriented for a second, before taking in the room around him. It isn’t his—it’s a bit sparse, a large desk taking up most of the space filled with papers and pencils. Sunlight is streaming in through a nearby window.
His head aches, and Shouta groans, flopping back onto the pillow. This is why I shouldn’t drink, he thinks wryly. He tilts his head towards the bedside table and finds a glass of water with an aspirin tablet next to it. On the glass, there’s a sticky note with a messily drawn smiley face and a heart. Shouta rolls his eyes and rips it off before gulping down the pill.
He keeps the sticky note in his pocket.

A winter morning Toshinori and Shouta spend together making breakfast, interspersed with snapshots of life before they were together. -

Summary
“I’m so sorry,” Inko says again before answering his question. “Family issues are cropping up and suddenly I have to fly out in a few days and I have no idea when I’m coming back…”
Toshinori waits patiently for her to collect her thoughts.
Inko takes in a breath. “My point is,” she says, “I need you to take care of my son.”

In between taking care of his friend's son, falling for said son's teacher, and working as an ER doctor, Yagi Toshinori doesn't quite have the time to think about how he got himself into this mess.
