    Summary

    “What’s the fun in a masquerade if you don’t flirt outrageously with the prettiest person in the room?” the young man says flippantly, and then winks at Keith. Keith huffs a laugh, amused.

    “You keep saying things like that, but you haven’t seen my face,” he says, gesturing to his mask. “I could have warts under here. I could have spots, or scars.”

    “You’d be lovely even with all of those,” the young man says, and he suddenly sounds serious. It takes Keith by surprise, makes his heart twist along with his stomach. “Your eyes,” he continues, tilting his head. “I’ve never seen eyes like yours before.”

    Summary

    The first time Nicholas sees the guy it almost kills him, right there and then. Quite literally.

    You see, these kind of things just happen to him. He’s come to the conclusion, after strenuous research into his own misfortune, troubles, and tribulations, that the universe must be rearing up for some big cosmic joke, one of astronomical proportions, and he’s the punchline of it. The idea that some higher being put him on this bitch of an earth to serve as a barometer for transcendental humor for whichever other beings might need a little pick-me-up, let it be entropy or just the vast vacuum of space, is the only thing that would explain why, in the middle of a perfectly good breakfast, doing nothing more than just sipping his coffee and listening to Livio ramble on and on about some long deceased Norwegian poet or another, his wayward gaze wanders around the cafeteria and lands on one guy in particular, The guy, and he promptly chokes on his breakfast, sending spit and croissants crumbs and coffee droplets flying everywhere on the table.

    Cosmic laughter ensues, he’s sure.

     

    Or, the college au nobody asked for but that maybe – just maybe – someone might need.

    Summary

    A series of sweet and smutty one shots as Kiyoka and Miyo adjust to married life, plus some humorous interactions with some of the secondary characters. I have read through book 4 of the light novels, so some references are made to things that have not yet occurred in the anime/manga.

    MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS.
