    This just in, Max Verstappen, recently retired from his seat in Red Bull Racing after winning his fifth championship, has walked out in AMG colors into George Russell's garage, everyone—oh, oh.

    Summary

    "There are a thousand things Izaya wants to say. He wants to tell Shizuo to fuck off, to order him to regain his senses. This isn’t part of the game; this isn’t them. This, whatever it is, is dangerous; it’s too risky to even think about it. This is complete nonsense. What Shizuo is trying to say is exactly what Izaya has been running from for years. The pain he is feeling is the reason why they shouldn’t ever speak of this ever again. Shizuo is ruining them; with one sentence he is destroying years and years of pretense and lies. Or maybe he isn’t the one destroying them; maybe those years are what is destroying him right now, and Shizuo is just trying to save the remains of what is still left of them. "

     

    Trapped in a dark alley after a chase, Izaya is forced to face the feelings he has been avoiding all those years.

    Summary

    Isla Lewis is just a paramedic doing her job — keeping people alive, keeping her head down, and keeping her powers hidden. Clark Kent is supposed to be chasing headlines, not lingering in the orbit of a woman who makes him forget which mask he’s wearing.

    Between bloodstained nights and quiet mornings, accidental meetings turn into something softer, something dangerous.
    She doesn’t want to be seen. He can’t stop watching.

    It’s not a story of capes and villains. Not yet. It’s about the quiet things: a text that feels too personal, a walk home in the snow, the kind of conversations that shift something buried deep.

    Somewhere between catastrophe and coffee, between Superman’s stillness and Clark’s warmth, something starts to take root.

    Summary

    It takes him near thirty years to go from Sarratt to Sarratt. There is a pale view of clouds. The few trees that remain cast clinched silhouettes. And suddenly he is twenty again, and they are in that room full of paintings and his mouth tastes of rust and he hears Bill but does not listen, he sees the paintings but does not look, and there is Bill, in the same pale light with colorless feathery hair, turned against him.

    Summary

    "You can't believe that I love you?" I asked again and he simply bit his lip. My hands cupped his cheeks.

    "It's because so many bastards have made you believe that you're unworthy of being loved, querido."

    ~~☆~~

    From the first moment Pedri meets his sister's new roommate, he's gone for. There is this unexplainable pull he feels, the urge to get to know the boy's deepest secrets and hidden sides - leaving aside the instant crush he has on the brown eyed student.

    But getting close to Pablo is harder than expected, when he all but flinches away from him at every attempt.
    Is that still the behaviour of someone who is just not interested, or is there something more behind Pablo's distance?

    Summary

    Shen Jiu turned his eyes back to the young cultivator, who had no choice but to nod and bow gratefully in the face of offending his master’s clients.

    How fortuitous. The blame had been claimed so thoroughly by Haitang, Qiu Jianluo was blazing full steam ahead on the topic of the manor’s cleansing. The master cultivator himself couldn’t even apologise for his disciple, for fear of offending the Qiu’s further, and all ‘A-Yuan’ had to do now was stand there and wring his hands.

    Shen Jiu stared at the other boy. Was it on purpose?

    If so, how kind.

    Or

    From a young age, Shen Jiu knows he is not a good person. He does, however, know who is, and will do everything in his power to protect him.

    Summary

    This is what happens, whispered the hiss of crisping skin, when you hit someone bigger than you. Everything you have, they know they can take. If you hurt their pride, they will steal yours. Trying to build for yourself only puts you at the bottom of the pile.

    It was funny. He'd spent so much time looking up—he'd never realized how much of the world was smaller than him.

    Summary

    Haruno Sakura recalls several moments of indignance in her life, amidst an even more staggering amount of close calls with death - of the absolute fury that raged in her veins.

    It had never been pretty.

    Even less so when she finds herself staring right into the mirror, with mint green eyes replaced with eerie black irises.

    She has always regarded herself as someone with an explosive temper, but now, looking straight into the signature pitch black eyes of a certain teammate - she couldn't help but wonder if she'd been overestimating herself.

    Because, boy, the Uchiha sure had an interesting way of manifesting the will of fire.

    And if it showed in the cracked mirror, her somewhat mangled hands (so, so tiny in comparison to the ones she'd used to save whoever she possibly could in the war), and the distant panicked whispers that couldn't quite pierce through the ringing in her ears - well, that wasn't anyone's business.

    At least she still had pink hair.

    Eventual hinasaku, but romance won't be the focus.

    Summary

    “Can’t you just, I dunno, not go?”

    Fluixon wants to pinch his nose and declare the man in front of him an idiot. But Saparata still hadn’t agreed to come with him, so he settled for pinching his nose and looking skyward with a loaded sigh.

    ”When my grandfather requests your presence, refusing him isn’t really an option.”

    Saparata tilts his head at him, “Your family’s kind of fucked up, dude.”

    ”I’m well aware, thank you.”

    Summary

    “At 20, Noa had no plans to take in a child. Yet his spirit kept gnawing at his reason. He felt it in his veins, anticipation bordering on impatience for this on-coming threat named Michael. To see a bud wilt before it could open, to see its petals faded, lacking the vivid hues of spring, such a scene left him feeling hollow. Noa knew he could nurture this flower better than anyone else. Michael would bloom most brilliantly under his care.

    The same drive that pushed him in every match, the one that pushed him out of Paris’ slum, it now pushed in Michael’s direction. At his very core, he was a football junky.

    Noa sighed, resigning to his addiction.”

    Summary

    Eight months after the war ended, the world is moving on, but for Katsuki Bakugo time has completely stopped.

    Stuck in a body he barely recognizes and a transplanted heart that refuses to play along, every day feels like a fight against his own limits. Going back to U.A. should have felt like a fresh start, but instead it’s a constant reminder of how fragile he’s become. The only thing that’s kept him going through those dark months? Izuku Midoriya, always by his side.

    But now even that light is starting to fade. Izuku is pulling away, slipping through his fingers, and every vague excuse leaves behind a bigger silence that Katsuki doesn’t know how to fill. His frustration and his fear of being left behind it’s eating him alive and when his body suddenly gives out, he’ll be forced to face the truth about himself…and the secret Izuku is desperately trying to keep hidden.

    Between the fear of losing who he is and the fear of losing the people he cares about, Katsuki has to learn that real strength isn’t about explosions: it’s about letting yourself be vulnerable.
