    Summary

    It’s the 1990s, and Junmyeon, a witch, is the co-host of a morning talk show. Sehun, a vampire and a member of the world-famous boy band SKY, is the last person he expects to meet outside of a club one evening.

    Neither of them recognises the other at first.

    What follows is a blur of awkward phone calls, stolen glances, and heated moments.

    All the while, Junmyeon struggles with his lack of magical power, and his desperate search for a non-existent cure.

    Summary

    November 1992.

    A video store clerk from a simple town discovers various notes half-scrawled and tucked inside tapes that are returned by the same mysterious customer—dates, pleas, a name.

    He walks in every few nights with a peculiar air of familiarity. Something hums in the static, and the train tracks on the edge of town hum back.

    Kim Dokja, who is very much a creature of habit, keeps telling himself it's nothing... until his curiosity wins over, until things start going terribly wrong. Because if he’s reading this right, then perhaps there has been an even bigger conspiracy unfolding right under his nose since the day he was born.

    Who is this handsome stranger and why does it ache to know him?

    Summary

    Penelope Featherington and Eloise Bridgerton have been friends for years, continuing as penpals when the Featheringtons emigrated to Australia. One Christmas, the Bridgertons visit Penelope, and she and Eloise’s brother Colin have a short holiday romance.

    Weeks later and entirely unplanned, Penelope ends up back in the UK, and enrols at the same Scottish university as Colin.

    Will they be able to recapture that summer lovin' feeling?

    ---
    This came about when FatalFantasies_26 mentioned Grease in passing and I suddenly thought how well the Danny/Sandy reunion and rejection fitted with Colin's rejection of Penelope at the end of season 2 in Bridgerton. So an idea was hatched. Then I threw around a few ideas with FlyByFrankie and it gradually began to percolate into something.

    This is inspired by Grease the movie but will only loosely follow that storyline. There'll be no dance-offs, car races etc. It's not set in the 1950s, instead I'm writing about the period when I was at uni, the mid-1990s.

    I'm going to try and keep this to a mature rating but the spice level may increase later to explicit if these two become too horny 😅

    Still a work in progress, so let's see how this goes!

    Summary

    “Robby. I just got shot. This is like asking for another bullet in me and I’m really fine with just the one,” Emery sighs as she looks at the information in the file. It’s all relatively standard: credit card statements, home address, offshore accounts, pretty much every single thing that could possibly be found on this guy is right here in front of her. She looks at his headshot, narrowing her eyes at his smug face. He looks a little bit like Patrick Swayze, but less buff and a lot more smug. “How do you expect me to even begin to get in on this?”

    Robby smiles, which Emery takes as a bad thing. He pulls out another file. “I’m so glad you asked. His wife.”

    Washington D.C, 1997. Renowned hitman Emery Walsh is tasked with the assassination of a thieving senator. In order to make it look like the accident it needs to be, she needs to get close. Real close. The best way to do that? Befriend his lonely wife—Samira.

    Summary

    Instead, the boy notices him.
    If it’s from a reflection or just an eerie sense, Tsukishima isn’t sure. Maybe he’d been staring too loud. The boy’s hair, dark, is plastered to his forehead, eyes wide. They shoot to Tsukishima in alarm, black as beetle-hides. Thick raindrops hang heavily from his short lashes and drip down the sides of his tanned face. Tsukishima waits for a tall tale. A threat or excuse maybe.

    - - -
    In which Tsukishima Kei is new to Karasuno and Yamaguchi Tadashi never got away from his bullies.

    Summary

    Mercy didn’t exist in the ring; it was only survival, a race to the bell. Elias Moore knew that all too well, felt reminders of it in every bruise that blossomed on his skin, every burning look that sent shame crawling up his throat.

    Elijah Moore didn’t believe in Mercy. Told himself he didn’t feel shame. Truth was, that’s all he felt, all he felt when he looked in the mirror, especially when he looked at his brother.

    Or; Smoke and Stack are boxers and Stack is fighting in an upcoming match. They both might find something out about themselves along the way…

    Summary

    Just a book of oneshots dedicated to one of the best characters in AOT because there isn't enough stories on him.

    Slow updates but, worth the wait.

    I don't own Mr Eren Kruger. Hajime Isayama does.

    he isn't a thevdiya like Gege Akutami. :)

    Summary

    ALOT OF THINGS HAPPENED IN 1993— the turning of the tides; new world leaders are being appointed one after another; the cost to survive is drastically increasing; riots & protests are now present in major cities; the underworld emperors are becoming more active; drugs & violence ran rampant; and Shanks Le Roux finally left the life he lived in New World City.

    Nonetheless Raftel is nothing to write home about. It's a sleepy town at the edge of the Red Line peninsula with the same nobodies living the same lives throughout the years. A boring town with boring people. Nevertheless, as crazy as it sounds, Shanks Le Roux never felt more alive than he did that summer.

    Today, Shanks Le Roux can tell you that he only ever loved once. He happened, and the rest are just tragic & pathetic attempts to recreate the sensation of him. You could get him drunk— Shanks will tell you stories of those who moved him throughout the years, those who almost succeeded in acquiring him whole. He'll laugh, and list off names, but at the end of the day, they are only retellings of a boy he met one godawful summer when the heat was at its worst.
