Summary
She was supposed to be a footnote in his worldview. He was supposed to be a name she erased.
But change doesn’t start with declarations.
It starts in margins.
In smoke drifting between towers.
In cursed scrolls and annotated books.
It starts when two people who were never meant to understand each other begin to listen.An incredibly slow-burn, no-Voldemort Dramione where no one’s trying to save the world—just pass their classes, reform the curriculum, and maybe rewrite a few beliefs. Set in a quiet Hogwarts where the only thing at stake is what kind of people they want to become.

Summary
When Gihun arrives at a secluded estate to begin a quiet job as a live-in Butler, he expects routine and silence, not the slow unraveling of the man who owns it. Hwang Inho, precise and distant, lives in a house curated to erase grief, where time itself has been banished. But as the days bleed into each other and small acts of care begin to accumulate, a fragile, unspoken connection forms between two men quietly weathering loss. In the stillness of polished floors and shared silences, they begin to remember how to be seen—and how to choose the living over the ghost of time stopped. This is a slow-burn story of grief, intimacy, and the quiet re-learning of presence.

Summary
Hyunjin doesn’t mean to end up in the small gallery tucked between a bakery and an alleyway—but it’s raining, and the door’s open, and he’s tired in a way he can’t explain.
Aeri doesn’t recognize him. She’s too busy trying to remember what it means to make art that feels like hers again.
They don’t talk much at first. Then they do.
Not about everything—but about the things that matter.Sketchbooks are exchanged. Silence is shared.
Somewhere in the middle of all that stillness, they start becoming something to each other.
Not lovers. Not strangers. Just... safe.And when the world starts noticing, neither of them runs.
They just stay—exactly where they are. -

Summary
Changbin has spent the past year pretending their kiss—last summer, barefoot and breathless—didn't mean anything.
Now Felix is standing too close again.
Not like last summer—closer, somehow.
This time, it’s scripted.
This time, it’s supposed to mean nothing.But nothing about it feels like acting.
And Changbin is starting to realise: maybe silence isn't the same as safety.
And maybe it never was.(or: Changbin was always going to break his own heart. This is just the part where he realises it.)

Summary
The cases are never really over—not with new bodies appearing, a woman still in danger, and something deeper starting to pull loose.
Harry Du Bois is trying to do things right, whatever that means, however long it lasts.
Kim Kitsuragi is steady, but not untouched.
As the Square Bullet Hole murders begin to unravel, so does something else—quietly, slowly—inside them both.La Revacholiere is alive, love builds its shape in silence, and some truths don’t collapse. They unfold.
—or
Ugly recovery and uglier villains. It’s “we share a bed but won’t talk about it” levels of repression. A character study with legs. And it keeps getting shot at, goddamnit.

Summary

Summary
Vi saw her and knew.
Caitlyn saw Vi...and everything got complicated.One grew up in the South Side, where dreams don't survive.
The other was raised in luxury, where perfection was a cage.They stand together for years, caught in the gravity of what’s never said.
But something has been waiting in the dark — and it's finally reaching for them. And it will change everything.
Will they ever name the light they’ve always kept hidden?
"Vi swallowed thickly, her heartbeat pounding so loud in her temples it drowned out everything else.
It felt like it was pumping molten gold; dense, burning, and unbearably precious.
She was a paradox made flesh. A hurricane of stillness. Chaos flooding in perfect harmony.
How could something so dizzying, so immense, feel so soothing?
How could the tight knot in her throat be the only thing keeping her grounded?
Nothing seemed to exist but the sheer need to answer those damn questions. Two forces crammed into a space too tight not to clash."Completed story. Full arc. Chapter updates daily.
