Summary
How can the bond of two souls, in their infinite smallness, ever hope to stand out against the vast expanse of the universe? How can a woman live without her other half, when all life thereby should become meaningless?
Sakura often dreams of Sasuke. She knows his heartbeat, his oxygen saturation, his weight and his white blood cell count, his favourite food, his schedule by the hour at the hospital, the day he came back to Konoha as a criminal, and the date of his upcoming trial.
She has measured the distance from her house to his old apartment. It is 1147 in seconds, 19 in minutes, 20089 in steps, and 4051 breaths taken.
Knowing all this, she deduced that he is now closer to her than he has ever been.
But as invariably as she knows all this and more about him, she knows the day he dies is inevitable.
Because, most of all, Sakura knows his soul so well, it might be mistaken for her own.

Summary
A knight without a kingdom, bereft of duty, without her monarchs, is no knight at all.
Dryya wakes in the Queen's Gardens months after her death, confused and alone. The White Lady is gone. There are no more infected mantises polluting her Lady's realm, just a collection of mutated and confused wild animals. She has stood valiantly at her post for three centuries. Without her Queen, what is she to do?
Without purpose for the first time in almost a millennia, Dryya must forge herself a new one: she will reassemble her lost knights and do what she can to put the broken remnants of her King's realm back together. But much time has passed since her quasi-exile in the Gardens, and much that once was is now lost. Despite her long centuries as a warrior of unparalleled might, Dryya will learn that the toughest battles are those that come when there are no enemies left to fight.

Summary
The world is a huge mirror. A spectacle of all that exists, what breathes, what aches, what binds and breaks apart. Even when Jungkook wants to hide, to cocoon himself in his one-bedroom apartment, the mirror follows. But some reflections are worth facing. When Namjoon enters his life, Jungkook realizes that's what he needs to leave behind—the fear that keeps holding him back from truly living. From loving fiercely, like there's no tomorrow.
Namjoon deserves more than this cowardly version of him, doesn't he?
