    Summary

    "I don't know who I am anymore, around them," Ponyboy exhales smoke slowly, so happy that he'd allowed Dallas to buy him different cigarettes to test and taste, happy to be out with him in their own little hideout, "I feel like I ain't a Soc anymore. Feels like I was a greaser born in the wrong body."

    Dispatches from a Tulsa embroiled in a Romeo and Juliet inspired conflict.

    Summary

    Sergeant Philip Morrison just wants peace and quiet. Why else would he move up to the quiet, lonely town of Foreborough except to be alone?

He'll have to work against forces beyond his reckoning if he wants to come out the other side sane and whole.

    Summary

    Izzy reflects on his marriage and on his struggles with pregnancy.

    On days like this, he wonders if he really really made the right choice, marrying Ed.

    When they announced their engagement, everybody and their mother had something to say about it. Why would an attractive, virile alpha like Edward Teach choose such an old omega when he could have anyone he wanted? Izzy knew he was something of a spinster, but the words still stung. Ed always brushed the questions off, laughing and pointing out that heats didn’t just stop once an omega turned 30. Izzy loved him all the more for it, and he tried so hard to believe that his husband meant it, that he truly didn’t mind.

    Still, he knew it wouldn’t be as easy to get pregnant as it would have been ten, fifteen years ago.

    Summary

    At only 28 years old, Eren had it all: a successful and respectable husband, a tidy home with white picket fences, and two adorable children. She’d been told she was living the dream. The only problem? She doubted that she really was happy.

    So, in the spring of 1956, when a new couple moved into the neighborhood, Eren’s life became inextricably intertwined with that of the mysterious woman across the street. She started questioning everything she hadn’t dared to before: what it meant to be a family, the rules she’d lived by, and love. But could she ever be free?

    Summary

    Mina who has lived a sheltered life in the big city moves to a seaside village when she inherits a house from her estranged father to work as a mailman. Once she moves in she is both brought into the warmth by her neighbor Sana. Mina and her new group of friends spend a lot of their time enjoying a simple life at the pub "The Eagle and the Hare". On the other hand, Mina is faced with a deep and dark mystery surrounding her family and the house she inherited.

    OR

    “I’m so sorry for your loss.” She bowed her head in respect, then looked up at Mina, studying her face. “Come to think of it, I can’t say I knew that Mr. Myoui had any children…” A prying question, but it made sense for a newspaper editor. It seemed she realized the nature of her inquiry and proceeded to walk it back in a series of stutters. Mina, however, was caught in calibrating her reply.

    Neither did I, technically.
    My aunt told me he was dead.
    We were estranged.
    She hid everything from me.
    Everything.

    Mina smiled at Jihyo, feigning reassurance. “It’s complicated.”

    Summary

    "Orcas have very intense social bonds, lifelong bonds."

    Ken Balcomb, Founder of the Center for Whale Research

    -

    On his way back to Iowa, James Kirk comes across a rather interesting (and wealthy) man. However, instead of being turned in to the nearest police station, they offer to help him get back on his feet well enough to make the rest of his trip worthwhile. An agreement is made at the very lowly cost of Jim doing housework.

    Across this long period of time, they grow closer to each other, at some point becoming what one might call friends.

    Summary

    This story is a dark, raw, gritty, psychological, dramatic, obsessive, abusive, slow-burn romance between FAE officer Johnathan Preston and Librarian (secret activist) Wynelle Wu. Society is still recovering from the Atomic Wars, and the government has tightened its grip on the populace, enforcing strict 'Traditional American Values.'

    In this world, the "Synthetic Scare" is what fuels the fear of androids, who are scapegoated as threats to human purity after beginning to demand human rights. Paranoia runs high amongst communities, with the government hunting android sympathizers.

    The story starts when the government arrested Wynelle for sympathizing with those dangerous androids.

    And who’s leading this operation? Just some old college acquaintance whose face she could barely remember.

    Now he's offering her a deal she can't refuse: either she's off to a high-security labor camp, or she agrees to a little walk down the aisle. And what’s her crime? Sympathizing with those dangerous androids, of course! Surely she's not some tin can lover, right?

    Summary

    City park bathrooms aren’t famous for their cleanliness, nor on weekend nights under the dim illumination of streetlights are they the pinnacle of a family friendly experience. Surrounded in the quiet chatter of a few other men, lingering around the ins and outs of the space among clouds of stagnant smoke and curiously wandering eyes. Steve had given up this particular setting a long time ago for one less public, safer if anything could ever earn that title in these fragile contexts, but the thrill was never quite there.

    The adrenaline, the anonymity, sometimes even the danger. He couldn’t get that same rush of fear in the basement of a well known bar, hidden far away from the public eye. Shielded within a tight bubble of familiarity and inclusion. The craving for the opposite is foolish, he above all knows that for a fact, but a boring life which lacks the substance of his own truth does nothing to keep him in the way of a usual family man - loyal and absolved of personal fault.

    OR...

    There's far more than meets the eye to this secret affair with an innocent young man that just seems to keep wandering his way into Steve Harrington's crosshairs.

    Summary

    "Have you ever forgiven God?"
    "There is no God to forgive. Because God didn't pull the trigger and turn children into soldiers or skin into uniforms. That was men with power and history who did it. We did this to each other."

    At seventeen, Jungkook thought war would make him a man. At twenty, wearing every rank they gave him and burying nearly every friend he had, he wished he could be a boy again.

    Summary

    “Father?”

    A soft voice broke through the Priest's daydream. It had a hint of an accent, low and thick like honey or maybe molasses. The father closed his small book, tucked it away in his robes before turning his attention to the screen between the booths. He could just make out the shape of what he knew was a young woman. It was hard to see her features, but her purple hair was familiar. Imogen Temult.

    “Yes, my child?”

    “Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned. It has been 10 years since my last confession.”

    "Ten years? You are so young, would that put you at-"

    "First communion. The last time I was in confession was the first time." The honeyed voice clarified. "It was right after that that mama left and I just- I hadn’t felt like I had much to confess that was worth taking time of our good Father."

    "Well, what brings you back today child?"

    "My daddy said I needed to come in and give it a try. Said it would be good for me. So, here I am." There was just the slightest edge of defiance in her voice. Something Father Thull had not expected from the slight of a girl.

    "And why does your father think you need to come in, dear child?"

    "He thinks I'm wrong. That I am broken."

    Summary

    In the picture-perfect suburb of Szarr Hills, behind every smile is a secret. Astarion plays the charming housewife for a man obsessed with life and death. But what Cazador really wants is control: over people, over bodies, over pleasure itself. With a chronic illness, a quietly traumatic divorce, Dr. Dekarios is not exactly looking to get in the middle of whatever is going on at the Szarr household. Unfortunately, he's found himself in the crosshairs.

     

    This is a "period piece" extremely loosely based on the 1950s/early 1960s (more of the US-flavor) mashed with the Forgotten Realms.
