Summary
There’s a thick, fluffy tail with dark, coffee-colored tabby stripes poking out from the back of Johnny’s apron, perfectly matching his headband. It’s a little strange, but Ten doesn’t begrudge anyone who has to wear a work uniform, even if said uniform includes a tail. Johnny hums softly as he sets about his task, the tail flicking to one side and then the other in a feline display of interest. Ten could watch him all d-
Wait. What?
Ten stares, a dawning sense of realization cresting over him. Quote-unquote animal-themed accessories. Guests here for the coffee, but also just hanging out. Pet puns on the menu. The name Ninth Life. Paw-prints in the logo. Paw-prints! In the logo!!
Oh my god - this isn’t just a cat café. It’s a hybrid café.

Summary
Peter blinks. The eye-searing font and familiar red-and-black outfit immediately snap him out of his sleepiness. When he clicked on the link for SuperCuddles.net, he didn’t think what he’d find was - well, this:
A full-page, professional photo of someone dressed up as Deadpool - complete with katanas - in terry-cloth pajamas, arms spread wide in the universal gesture of hug me! The words emblazoned at the top, in what must be ninety point font, read Super Cuddles: When Your Need for Touch is Super!!
This can’t be the real Deadpool - can it? No way. The real Deadpool certainly has a penchant for physical affection, but he’s an assassin. Being a professional cuddler is, like, the total opposite of killing people for hire.
Right?

Summary
Ten loves being a regular at his local cat cafe. It's the perfect place to study, with its comfy chairs and warm ambience and tasty lattes. And the cats are good company, too.
Well, up until Johnny becomes the cafe's new barista. Johnny, who Ten has a crush on. Johnny, who Ten talks about with the cats all the time. Johnny, who the cats have decided is a perfect match for Ten - if Ten would only take their advice and finally confess.
A cat's idea of romance isn't the same as a human's, of course. But that won't stop Louis and Leon from playing matchmaker.

It takes Kun's jet-lagged, sleep-addled brain a few seconds to catch up with the sight before him: one Zhong Chenle, in a maroon henley and matching plaid sleep pants, face bare and hair soft and grinning at him. At seven in the morning.
Or: Kun comes home from the winter holidays.

Summary
Mark sets up the objects around him exactly as Ten has instructed: a bowl of salt and the lavender for protection, a saucer with Mark’s cross necklace as a capital-F Focus, with a white candle - scented like Soft Blanket, apparently - in the center. Just one more thing - the last step:
Put your hands together and make a wish.
Or: Mark is desperately in love with Donghyuck but doesn't know how to confess. Good thing he has a spell that will let him ask a genie for advice.

Summary
“Is that the idiom we’re gonna use?” Johnny smirks up at him, kneading the muscles of Ten’s splayed thighs. “I thought we had a good thing going with the whole save a horse, ride a-”
“Finish that sentence and all you’re doing tonight is watching me ride solo,” Ten huffs.
Johnny’s smile only grows. “Don’t threaten me with a good time, partner.”

“You’re disgusting,” Ten says affectionately.
“You’re amazing,” Johnny replies, leaning in to fit their mouths together again.

Summary
Somehow, Johnny’s punch manages to graze the Mad Burnish leader just so, because the armored figure staggers a step, blade still drawn. And then half of his helmet shatters, the black planes of hard flame cracking open to reveal its owner’s face.
Johnny’s eyes widen.
Because looking back at Johnny is the most beautiful boy he’s ever seen.

Three bouncers, fifteen security cameras, seven agents, six-hundred data files, thirty minutes, nine songs, and one glass of Martian rye whiskey.
Or: WayV's mission at a Titan nightclub doesn't go exactly as planned, and Ten's surprised to find heat on a moon made of ice.

Summary
Hendery has a step-by-step plan for what he needs to do to have a good night out - not as Prince Kunhang, fourth in line to the throne, but as just Hendery. It's not too much to ask for one night out and away from his responsibilities, is it? He just wants to have fun. What Hendery does not have a plan for is a pink-haired boy with killer eyebrows, a sweet singing voice, and a weird group of friends.
Or: Hendery takes the subway, has a daiquiri, bleaches his hair, makes some new friends, loses a shoe, and maybe falls in love. But not in that order.

Summary
Huaisang pulls against the heavy, taut drape of the hanfu’s collar and the layers underneath, revealing barely a triangle of his pale clavicle and shoulder as he fans himself from the heat. It’s a tantalizing strip of skin, and before Mingjue can drag his eyes away, the glint of silver catches his gaze. Is that - ?
Mingjue only gets a glimpse. Nestled between Huaisang’s skin and the gauzy white inner robe, there’s a strip of silver-black. A strap. A - a bra strap.
It burns at the back of his mind for hours, like an ember in the dark, a glow he can see even with his eyes closed. What is Huaisang hiding, underneath all those layers?

"Marry me," Auston blurts.
Mitch freezes, his fidgeting hands coming to a standstill as he stares, wide-eyed, into Auston's face.
"I mean," Auston almost stammers, "marry me. If you have to choose a knuckle-dragging alpha. Choose one you can actually, uh. Tolerate."
"And that's you," Mitch says, disbelieving.

Summary
Jamie half-shrugs as he gets himself comfortable, meeting Tyler’s eyes with that small smile that’s just for him. “I just wanted to make sure I had some time with my favorite liney before the holidays. It’s only gonna get busier from here on out, you know.”
“Yeah,” Tyler says, trying to ignore the heat that floods his cheeks at Jamie’s words. “Yeah. Don’t, uh - don’t let Rads hear you say that.”
Jamie’s smile turns into a full-blown grin. “Please, like anyone would say otherwise, at this point.”
And, yeah. At this point, Jamie and Tyler are a matched set.
Well - almost.

Summary
“Sorry,” Tyler says, though he can feel a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. He’s not particularly sorry for swinging at Nemeth, as a matter of fact. Jamie probably already knows that. “For causing you a bureaucratic headache, oh captain my captain.”
Jamie waves him off, rolling his eyes. “That’s what captains are for, eh? There’ll be a few emails. I’ll have a call with Landeskog, he’ll deal with Nemeth - and once the rumor mill has had its fill, that’ll be the end of it.”
“I don’t expect it to be quite that easy,” Tyler snorts. “The first mate’s first fistfight? In the middle of the bridge? The boys won’t be letting this one go for a while.”
Jamie turns to look at him, then, his eyes still warm but his lips pressed together as he thinks. Tyler’s breath catches in his chest at the sudden force of being Jamie’s sole focus of attention, and he resists the urge to rub his cheek, where the blood has dried into the hair of his beard.
“I think they had a better reaction to that fight that you give them credit for,” Jamie says carefully, “but that does bring up the point of disciplinary action.”

Here’s the thing about being born into a family of witches: you learn that the unexpected and the unexplained are often two quite very different things.
And unexpected is a tall guy with soft eyes and tattoos walking into your flower shop on a Thursday morning.

Summary
Harry leans in, puts his warm hands on Eggsy’s hips again to steady himself. It feels only natural to loop his arms around Harry’s neck, to follow his lead and tilt his head to the side when Harry’s mouth inches towards his ear.
“Our suite has been bugged,” Harry says softly, only just audible over the rush of water.

Summary
Eggsy's family is a family of witches; the magic has been passed from generation to generation, father to daughter to son to daughter. But it comes with a price, a family curse: use magic, and the one you fall in love with is doomed to die an untimely, early death.
Eggsy's seen what the curse - the loss of his father - has done to his mum, and vows to protect himself against love. He won't give up his birthright magic for love, for someone he is supposed to love but has never met.
That's before he meets Harry Hart, of course.
Love and magic have a great deal in common.

Summary
Eggsy should have seen this coming.
Looking back, he should have payed more attention to the calendar; he’d been good about taking his suppressants until the last few weeks, when the training exercises and elimination tests had gotten so intense that he’d started to forget the little pills. Dealing with a heat doesn’t seem as horrific after jumping out of an airplane, especially when you’d under the assumption that your ‘chute was faulty, and taking the suppressants was one of those little things that got shuttered off to the side in his mind. If he’d been paying attention it may not have come to - this.
Because Eggsy’s in heat, and there’s only two ways it can go from here.
