Summary
"Can I try?"
It's a surprising question, though Andrew doesn't let the emotion show on his face, and he sits up from his position on the bed to get a better look at Neil. When he'd first lit up, Neil had been nervous, unfamiliar with the drug and its effects, so he didn't bother offering any to him. He knew firsthand that Neil didn't like feeling out of control, and the fact that he's drinking around the Foxes now is enough of a show of trust that Andrew didn't want to push it.
That doesn't mean Andrew isn't interested in seeing Neil high, though.
Neil smokes for the first time, but not before giving Andrew his "yes."

Summary
Motoya was a liar.
He was nothing better than a wounded animal backed in a corner- he not only lied to protect himself, but to protect the ones around him.
Motoya's sense of belonging was sparse, his ability to trust was even dimmer. After running from a grueling past of a family that cast him the black sheep, as well as a disloyal relationship, he began to run out of viable reasons to live a truthful life.
The last thing he expected was to stumble into a pre-established relationship, befriending a couple tied to the only person he seemed to trust in the world- his cousin. When friends begin to leak and blur into something more, he found that he could no longer lie to protect himself.He needed to do something that he swore to never do again- open up.
(Fic is a spinoff of "Miya Atsumu's Guide to: What NOT to Do in the Workplace" I recommend you read that before indulging in this fic!)

Summary
Andrew isn't a renowed author. Sure, he has his fans here and there, a few hardcore readers, but he's not famous or internationally known.
So, when he stumbles across his own book in a place where it absolutely shouldn't be and in a language it absolutely wasn't translated to, he makes it his personal mission to find the person behind it.

Summary
After a recent breakup, Andrew and Neil drag Kevin out to their local BDSM club, where he meets Jean and Jeremy – two men who are like no one Kevin has ever met before. Devastatingly handsome, intelligent, and confident, they pursue Kevin unrepentantly, and Kevin finds himself slowly falling for their advances.
But while his interest is captured, he can’t help but notice some of the cracks in the façade. The brightness of Jeremy’s smile, the smooth avoidance in Jean’s conversation – there is more to both men than meets the eye.
When all of their skeletons are finally laid bare, Kevin will have to decide: Is the cost of vulnerability simply too high? Or will letting them in give him something so much greater than he’s ever known?
