    Summary

    When Harry Potter proposes to Ginny Weasley after an on and off relationship spanning five years, the last thing he expects is to be broken up with for the sake of Ginny's career ambitions. While most people would have a good cry and get on with life, Harry decides he's not ready to give up. If sophistication is what Ginny wants, then sophistication is what Harry will deliver. And who better to help him with some good old-fashioned self-improvement than his old classmate, ex-friend, and unrequited crush, Tom Riddle, or as he's known these days, Lord Slytherin.

    "I know it’s an unusual request—” Harry started.

    “I’ll do it,” Tom interrupted, resting his hand over Harry’s, their ring fingers overlapping. “I’ll make a husband out of you, Harry.”

    “You will?” Harry asked, guarded hope fluttering in his chest.

    “Of course,” Tom promised, flashing a charming smile.

    Summary

    I've lost all feeling on my knees and inner thighs. Worse, the uncomfortable sludge gathered on my cunt, the lips bruised and split so crudely it hurts whenever I shift.

    I want to wash. I haven't washed for what seems like ages. I miss being clean so much.

    But more, I want him. The salty print of Adriel's fingers shoved in my mouth—the warmth of his cock, expanding in my mouth—the soreness of my jaw, forced open as he fucks my throat.

     

    Julianne revisits her God-family's house and land, where six years ago, the six members of the Cain family were massacred.

    Now it has been rebuilt into a Commune by Godbrother Adriel, the sole survivor besides herself.

    Adriel Cain is beloved by all. Once, Julianne loved him the most, carrying his darkest secret out of sheer devotion. She only barely made it out of there, away from him, alive.

    But his reappearance in her life, or, her arrival to the Cain House, is beginning to reafirm his power over her. Adriel will not let her leave a second time.

    Summary

    "Grantaire!”

    It’s Enjolras. Holy shit, it’s Enjolras.

    “Holy shit,” he whispers. “Enjolras?”

    “Yes, R, it’s me,” says Enjolras breathlessly from somewhere above him. A hand pulls on his shoulder. Grantaire is alive, somehow. “They’ve moved past this street but we have to go.”

    Grantaire lifts his head off the pavement, head swimming. “R?”

    “Yes, you, Grantaire. We have to go. Can you walk?” Enjolras is pale, his mouth a thin, fierce line, his eyes alight with anger.

    “How do you know my nickname?” asks Grantaire dumbly, his mouth full of grit from the street.

    Enjolras tries to pull him upright by the shoulders. “They have water cannons, R, and they’re getting closer. Can we talk about this later?”

    edit: changed description and added an epilogue!

    Summary

    Han Jisung is a simple person who leads a simple life, one with little to no eventfulness to be found, to the pity of none other than himself. As an art college student, occasional night guard at a local museum, and guy suffering from chronic shyness and a lack of social skills, his love life grows stale by the day—but deep inside, he holds an embarrassing secret.

    His secret?

    That he's fallen in love with a statue.
    What he doesn't realize, is that his love may cause a miracle far beyond his imagination.

    (Loosely inspired by the greek myth of Pygmalion)

    Summary

    Standing on tiptoes, Lin Ling brings his other hand up to hold the face of his muse, forehead to forehead, nudging his nose into a cold, unforgiving cheek. His breath fans out over marble lips — quirked into a coy smile, mysterious, lovely. An invitation. As close to perfect as Lin Ling can possibly hope to achieve as a mere mortal man trying to make the divine tangible.

     

     

    Insane or not, I can’t bring myself to regret it.

     

     

    Lin Ling’s lashes flutter as he dips his head, pressing his lips to that of his marble god’s.

     

     

    I was meant to create this. My muse. My heart.

     

     

     

    My Nice.

    Summary

    “You’ll help me?” he asked.
    I will, she said, her voice close now, brushing his lips like a kiss never given. If you want him, then take him. He is yours, entirely—but only for you. No one else will see him live. Not the city, nor your friends. Not even the Titans who scorned your prayers. Just you, child of the Worldbearer. You alone.

    In the aftermath of Mydeimos’ death, Phainon sculpts a statue of him from memory. Desperate, grieving, and half-mad, he does everything he can to breathe life into the clay and bring his Mydeimos back.

    Summary

    «I want to be the only sculpture you make, over and over again,» Felix interrupted. He swallowed, trying to calm his racing heart, and the mistake of meeting Jisung’s burning amber gaze made his legs tremble. «The one poem that will speak to your mind, and guide your hands on the cool clay.»
    He approached the other, who had remained petrified listening to him, and reached out a hand to caress the locks that had grown rebellious – just as Jisung himself had done that morning months before, with fingers that had soothed invisible scars and eyes that had seen him, newborn. «Scylla you’ll swim to.»

    Acclaimed artist Han Jisung is in desperate need of a new model for his next dire photography project; luckily for him, he’s just found his new muse in the bright, and eager to please, young Lee Felix.
