Summary
“Is something the matter? You’ve been looking rather downcast recently.”
Kyouka stood in the middle of the room, shuffling her feet and rubbing her arm. “Uhm, yeah, I mean, just like, teenage angst?” As soon as the words left her mouth, Kyouka felt like throwing herself out a window. Cringe much? Referring to your own emotional turmoil as teenage angst unironically had to be like, illegal. And part of the diagnostic criteria for ‘weirdo.’
“Teenage… angst? Sorry?” Yaoyorozu repeated back to her, sounding slightly awkward but concerned.
Yeah, the balcony was looking pretty tempting.
“You know, you can talk to me about anything. Is this about Kaminari?”

Summary
✧.── Leon's mind was a bleak landscape, a reality that haunted his every waking moment. As he stood before the bank of screens, watching the new batch of players enter the first game arena, these desperate souls that In-ho so callously referred to as "scum" and "trash."
Not that he didn't agree. Of course.
In-ho's words were gospel to Leon, the foundation upon which his entire world was built. The Frontman had elevated him, placed him in a position of power and trust, all in the name of loyalty and duty. But as Leon looked inward, he saw something that unsettled him – a desperation not so different from the players he was tasked with overseeing.
Leon wondered, was he truly any different from them? Or was he merely better at hiding, better at controlling, the very same impulses that drove these individuals to risk everything for a chance at salvation? Did In-ho see his true nature, or simply the loyal servant he wanted Leon to be?
Perhaps, in making him stand amongst them, Leon would finally be able to see it. And maybe in-ho too, will see that his loyal servant was the same 'scum' as the rest of them.

Summary
With her jaw clenched, Natasha searched for her other necessary contact for everything to work perfectly. "Come on, little witch," she whispered, her voice almost a breath. "I know you can feel me," she thought, putting all her energy into that connection.
The answer was weak. A wave, almost a sigh in her mind. "Natasha?"
Wanda shook in her cell, a wave of hope filling her being, feeling her energy move, her powers reactivate.
Relief hit Natasha hard, almost leaving her breathless. "It's me, you're not alone. I'm coming for you."
____Or: Before escaping to Norway, Natasha seeks out Wanda to free her and suggest they run away together. Hunted by national and international organizations, they must face the unknown while discovering what it means to trust and rely on each other.

Summary
Bridgeton/Pride and Prejudice meets ACOTAR well specifically Azriel
Azriel, the Shadowsinger of the Night Court, has spent centuries in war and darkness. He has no patience for noble games, no desire for politics. But when Rhysand arranges his marriage to the infamous Jewel of Prythian-an effort to mend ties with the Spring Court and keep Azriel from dangerous affections-he is forced into a world he despises.
Liora, daughter of the Dawn and Spring Courts, is everything he is not: a highborn beauty, the perfect courtly lady, untouched by war. To Azriel, she is spoiled, vain, and frivolous. To her he is a brute-cold, scarred, and lacking any grace beyond the battlefield. Forced into marriage, they are trapped in a battle of wills, neither willing to bend.
For beneath Liora's silks and diamonds lies a mind as sharp as his blades. And beneath Azriel's shadows and scars is a longing he never dared to name.
Can a warrior of darkness and a lady of starlight survive the storm ahead-or will their pride and prejudice tear them, and Prythian, apart?

Summary
Yoon Jongwoo doesn’t move away, but there is a wariness that hardens his features as he says, “I’m just a guest lecturer here.”
“They asked you to teach,” Moonjo points out. “It seems counterproductive to restrict your potential.”
“My potential,” Yoon Jongwoo mutters, a sardonic tilt to his mouth. His gaze holds a little more weight now as he regards Moonjo. “You’re very invested in this.”
“Of course I am. How can a student learn if his master holds himself back?”
Or; Moonjo enrols back into university upon hearing that his favourite author will be a guest lecturer there. Yearning ensues.

The McKinnon Effect: A Case Study in Sirius Black’s Emotional Collapse by anylouze
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
04 Jul 2025
Tags
Summary
The following study aims to examine—and hopefully disprove—the completely unfounded theory that Sirius Black is experiencing romantic feelings for Marlene McKinnon.
Through rigorous observation, firsthand experience, and frequent peer harassment (thanks, Moony), the author will attempt to demonstrate that what others have mistaken for attraction is, in fact, a combination of external stress, Quidditch-related adrenaline, and Marlene’s deeply suspicious habit of existing within his immediate vicinity.
This is not a love story.
It’s a controlled experiment in emotional stability.
(It’s going very poorly.) -

Summary
When Jumin Han decides it’s time to find a suitable wife - for business reasons, obviously - the RFA immediately panics. He may be rich, powerful, and handsome, but he’s also emotionally constipated and treats human interaction like a boardroom negotiation.
Enter Zen: actor, heartthrob, and (alleged) master of romance. At the RFA’s insistence (and after much dramatic resistance), Zen agrees to coach Jumin in the art of flirting, dating, and generally not terrifying women. But as the “lessons” go on, lines blur, tempers flare, and Jumin starts to wonder if he really wants a wife… or just one annoyingly beautiful tutor.

Summary
And what does Ekko do when he feels haunted by her ghost?
His solace.
The one that keeps her with him even when she’s not actually there.
His fingers twitch in defiance. Just a few inches away, he gets her. Gets every version of her he’s ever known, and every way he’s ever seen her. Every captivating smile, every teasing glance, every rebellious middle finger she’s thrown his way.
He shouldn’t, he really shouldn’t.
But god help, he reaches for it anyway– almost against his will.
He opens his sketchbook– the one he’s kept of her for many years– going through the countless new drawings he’s added since she’s arrived. He doesn’t have to wait until he runs into her in the lanes for him to get a glimpse of her. And so, with every thing she does that he can’t get out of his head, he draws it, capturing the moment in the only way he knows how to.
Even ink isn’t permanent enough in comparison to the big ‘Jinx’ engraved in him.
(from ch. 8)

Jinx causes a mess in Piltover months after her 'death', and Ekko takes her into his base to avoid her facing consequences; even if she hates it.

A murmur against his neck.
Quiet.
Breathy.
"I'm sorry," he repeats as he flinches. He gently helps him sit back to the table, where he drops the new bottle off and helps himself.
He sips his coffee, watching him. Always watching.
It takes a moment before Gi-hun can talk again, the fading wave of shock finally unlocking his throat.
"Hwang In-ho. It's not even 7 AM, we've had two miraculous hours of sleep when she stopped crying, we're in the middle of breakfast, the sun has just risen, your brother is going to be there in an hour and you say this now?"

Summary
But the funny thing is, Jay was the reason his voice was healed. This demon with his witty remarks, and insufferable smirks. Clumsy and awkward are words he wouldn't have used to describe him the first time they met, but knowing him how he did now, those descriptors fit perfectly. It's the time he spent seeing the humanity in Jay that made Jungwon realize that his patterns aren't something to keep hidden – locked up to be forgotten and ignored. No.
