hibiscus, amaryllis, heliotrope by fs-archive (jesterpupp)

Summary
“Amaryllis. Hibiscus.” Marco chews the inside of his lip before adding, “Heliotrope.”
Deuce can’t tell the difference between the seeds. He stands there, hand outstretched and palm up (as though carrying something fragile, something important) and works through the confusion in his mind to ask, “Am I meant to start gardening?” It’s too free, too easy for a conversation with Marco of all people and he blanches, stutters, fingers curling around the seeds in his hand. “I don’t know how,” he admits.
Marco folds his own hand over Deuce’s, cupping both seeds and fingers so careful. “There’s never a bad time to learn."
(Marco takes a roundabout way of confessing, Ace pushes boundaries and Deuce's buttons both, and Deuce takes a moment to slow down.)

Summary
A phoenix is the rarest of prizes, the crown jewel of any collection.
He would know. A tiny cage in a big white palace in the Holy Land is all he's ever known. The only life he's ever had is one where he dances and sings at the command of the Celestial Dragon he belongs to. It's a boring, miserable life, even before he's cast aside to rot until he can grow into the majestic creature his owner was promised.
Until one day, everything changes.
This is the story of how Whitebeard meets a little bird in a cage and finds a treasure beyond anything he ever imagined.

Local Old Man Gets Nudes, What Happened Next Is Heartwarming by JuHuaTai

Summary
The moral of the story was this: If you’re sure you don’t want to get back with someone, then delete their number and block them. Or maybe the lesson was, if you’re still obviously missing someone, don’t get drunk and then text them. Or worse, send them nudes.
Or maybe the lesson was, no matter what you do, don’t let your technologically impaired father borrow your phone when he inevitably broke his.
(But really, aren't you glad all of these things happened in the end?)

Summary
'Saudade: a sense of loneliness or incompleteness; melancholic longing or yearning for a beloved yet absent something or someone.'
--
A town marred by death and misfortune, unkind to innocence. A boy adrift in a sea of the living and the dead. A soul not lost, never wandering, always following. And a captain who just wants his damn boat fixed.
--
Law has always held Corazón close in his heart; it has influenced everything in his adult life. He has lived every day by the man's words and actions. But thirteen years have passed by in a haze and Corazón is long gone. However, a chance encounter with a young mute boy in a no-name coastal town begins a series of events that will turn both their lives upside down.
And Law will soon find out that his dear Cora is a lot closer than he thinks.
