Summary
—> all characters/relationships stated in tags are obviously not at the start. they are to come
intrusive thoughts took over... and here we are
John leaned in close, the knife cool against the bruised skin of 1x1’s cheek. The blade’s edge traced a line with almost surgical precision, just enough pressure to leave a sting, a thin red line marring his skin, though not deep enough to bleed.
Their eyes met—John’s gaze steady, unreadable, like he’d seen far worse and would do far worse without blinking. “I’ll spare you,” he said softly, voice barely above a whisper. “But only ‘cause of how pitiful that was. I could get a damn fortune for turning you in, no doubt about it. You’re wanted, everyone knows it.”
He tilted the knife slightly, forcing 1x1 to hold his gaze. “But I’m feelin’ merciful tonight.”

Summary
Aziraphale and Crowley’s first date was a disaster. He thought Crowley was rude and insufferable; Crowley thought Aziraphale was a sanctimonious bore. They agreed on one thing—never again.
Years later, Crowley is facing an ultimatum: marry or lose a massive inheritance. Out of options (and a bit too drunk), he texts the one person least likely to agree—Aziraphale.
Aziraphale, drowning in debt and on the verge of losing his beloved bookshop, isn’t in a position to refuse. A marriage of convenience might just be his best—if most ridiculous—solution.
It’s just business. Just a bit of paperwork, a few social events, and a whole lot of pretending. But between prying lawyers, suspicious friends, and unexpected moments of closeness, keeping their arrangement strictly professional turns out to be harder than they thought.
After all, there’s a thin line between pretending to love someone and falling for them entirely.
Updates Mondays, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.

Summary
It starts as mere pleasure. An indulgence.
There’s nothing personal about it. That’s not the arrangement they have. That’s not anything he will ever allow. Gyeongseok is unapologetic. Confident, with a bite to him that makes her shudder, an angry heat that makes her ache. He’s exactly what she needs right now. It’s an agreement. A transaction. It’s uncomplicated. Up until it isn’t. He’s a closed book. An enigma, carefully contained. Until he isn’t.
Until she starts catching glimpses of the man outside the performance. Until she finds that he has walked through a hell of his own. That in his wake, he drags a shadow, unshakeable, and if he falters, if he wavers, it threatens to swallow him whole. And in his hands, clasped tight, so tight, shielded against the storm, he carries a weakened flame. Bright-eyed. His whole world. Only five years old.
And it’s none of Hyunju’s business. He makes that beyond clear. She is a pay-check. A means to an end. Who he is outside of their arrangement is none of her concern.
Her heart does not agree.

Summary
— Нет, что вы, — со столичной, как ему нравилось думать, небрежной уверенностью сказал Ричард. — Сумма совсем небольшая. Отдам по частям.
Месяц у Ричарда Окделла выдался интересный и насыщенный: проигрыш в карты, моральные страдания, секс-работа и стремительное движение навстречу судьбе. Впрочем, он был жив и не отчаивался, ведь хорошим людям иногда все-таки везло.

Yuji Itadori doesn't just watch Ryomen Sukuna's streams—he funds them. His tips buy attention, his comments beg for cruelty, and when Sukuna finally demands more than just his money, Yuji hands over his address without hesitation. The camera lights are blinding, the chat is ravenous, and as Sukuna peels away every last shred of his dignity live for an audience, Yuji realizes too late: he wasn't invited as a guest. He's the main course.

Summary
‘They said later that all the sorry souls of the Mississippi had waited their turn long enough. Oh, it was a cruise steeped in death from the start— all endings are deaths, if you think about it. These are haunted waters, always have been, and she was a ghost if ever I saw one. You heard of the old black train? Let me tell you, the Greeks, you know, they had it right. Before there were trains, there were boats. Ain’t nothin' older than a boat. That tour—the very last… we didn’t know it then, but, hell, they did. The dead always do, in the end.’ — Witness statement.
September, 1921: the SEVENTH DAY departs St. Louis for New Orleans. It goes not silently or darkly: they say its passengers dance all night and day, dragging the river out slow enough to turn minutes to hours, days to weeks, nights to days and back again. They say it’s ten times the size of a Mardi Gras float and twice as grand, patronised by the richest Baron in the south. Its shadow is vast and broad—the vision of an ending.
But it is a beautiful vision, while it lasts.
Besides—is it not said that all endings are also beginnings, in their way?
