    Summary

    Music rewinds time. Her fingers flit against keys like folders, trying to find a song that held her own feelings. She experiences years in songs, in demos, in half-completed projects her head quickly remembered. None of them sound like Yoisaki Kanade. The music spins around and around like a dense hurricane of noise, all of it doused in this haunting key… What does Yoisaki Kanade even sound like?

    Her fingers stop. Does Yoisaki Kanade have a sound?
    --
    Or: Kanade often forgets what got her here

    Summary

    Being responsible for the security of two separate groups of humans is hard enough when SecUnit knows and likes the ships they are travelling on. But once its humans arrive at the incredibly normal space station in orbit of Trellin, SecUnit finds their potential new allies to be much more difficult to deal with than most hostiles. To do its job, it must navigate local privacy customs, dead and/or naked humans, experimental biomes full of planetary fauna and, worst of all, the helpful local HubSystem, which happens to be a) very friendly, b) totally useless at security, c) really fucking creepy. Can SecUnit keep its humans safe and not be driven absolutely beeshit by argumentative social scientists, HubSystem or human, along the way? It’s about to find out.

    Direct continuation of The Worst Movie Night. Story is complete and edited, posting Wed/Fri/Sun.

    Summary

    Calcination: The process of heating a substance just below melting point to induce change in physical and chemical properties, to remove impurities and ensure specific reactions and outcomes...

     

    Grillby has a perfectly normal attraction to his long-time friend and nightly regular at his bar, Sans. He's been dying for a chance to act on that attraction but keeps backing-out before he can follow-through. After patiently biding his time for the perfect moment he finally makes his move.

    Sans is contently unattached to anyone romantically. He has his friends, he has his brother, he has the bar and Grillby's usually quiet but comforting company. What more could he need? He hasn't considered a life outside of living with his brother and the occasional random hook-up to blow off steam. Sure, he's noticed Grillby, he's not blind after all. But from the outside looking in, it's always felt like Grillby was just as happy being single as Sans is. Being a single dad, even with a grown kid, probably changes your standards for a partner anyway. Well, until Grillby kidnaps him that is.

    Waking up chained to a bed kind of changes your perception of a guy.

    Summary

    In a world where humans have evolved into alphas, betas, and omegas, after a series of events that have extincted men, Ari—a shy, artistic omega—enters a high-pressure tech company after years of remote work. She catches the attention of Lyra Veran, the elegant and powerful CFO, and finds herself pulled into a whirlwind of attraction, politics, and unexpected power plays.

    As Ari navigates flirtation, confusion, and her own emotional awakening, she must learn to balance instinct with agency—and figure out what she truly wants in a world that keeps telling her who she’s supposed to be.

    A slow-burn workplace drama filled with tension, tenderness, and the quiet revolution of knowing your worth.

    From executive bathrooms to whispered warnings, stolen kisses, HR scandals, and art gallery revelations, Ari's journey is messy, vulnerable, and deeply human. Through it all, she discovers the strength to define her own boundaries, the courage to want more than instinct, and the resilience to love—not just others, but herself.

    It’s not just about romance.
    It’s about identity, power, and what it means to be desired—and to desire back.

    Summary

    Seungmin speaks up this time. “It’s already hard for Minho,” he acknowledges. “Satisfying five vampires, plus a baby.”

    “It’s true,” Chan muses, tipping Minho’s chin up to examine him. He’s probably a little peaky, and he’s sure his undereye bags are prominent. He’s adapted to sleeping during the day, though probably not as much as he needs. He’s hungry a lot, despite the bounty of food—Seungmin says that having blood drained takes a lot of a human’s energy, so he’s probably quite a bit thinner than he ought to be.

    “We could… get another human?” Hyunjin spitballs, though he says it uncertainly.

    “Just—where do we find a human?”

    Minho blinks, pensive but also going foggy from Chan’s affections. “Put out an ad?” he suggests.

    Short to moderately long scenes, drabbles, or one shots I write, sometimes as practice, that aren't exactly long enough to become their own work. Generally less than or around 1000 words, but never shorter than around 500.

    Summary

    Derek Hale has always known two things about himself: He's not good at making people like him, and he's going to be his sister's second for the Sacramento pack. But when a random assignment leads him to be the new alpha of Beacon Hills, dealing with far too big shoes to fill and a new pack orphan that everyone listens to far more than they do him, he thinks it's his big chance to finally prove his worth to his mother. Besides, it's not forever, is it?

    Stiles Stilinski has always known two things about himself, too: Being the son of the alpha is a Big Job, and it's his to do, and one day, his mate will be the next alpha of his mother's pack. But when his parents are murdered, and some growly man with expressive eyebrows unwillingly takes her place, he's got two choices: keep glaring at Derek or teach him to man up. At least until he's found a replacement. How long could that take?

    This is a story about building a pack, finding a home and cuddling with a dog. It's mostly about the dog.
