    Summary

    Zoey looked so genuine and so concerned and just so worried about Mira that she wanted to cry. Or scream. Or both.

    She wanted to kiss the furrow between Zoey’s brows, pull her bottom lip out from the hold of her teeth, map a constellation across her freckles with her mouth and reassure her that no, Zoey, you could never hurt me, not even the gods could imagine a world where you could hurt me.

    She doesn’t, though.

    ***

    inspired by @s0urbear_'s tweet: "Zoey cannot talk to Rumi or Mira face to face unless she's sitting on their lap. That's the only way she can fully drive her point across"

    Summary

    Altars crumble faster in shallow water. But he still knelt like it was sacred. No one ever warned you that worship could look like love. Or that love could look like drowning.

    Summary

    Ella quiere aprender a cazar para sentirse más fuerte, más libre, más dueña de su destino. Para ello, solicita un instructor. Lo que no esperaba era encontrarse con Hassian, el hombre más callado, borde y difícil de todo Palia. Sin embargo, en medio de la distancia, los silencios y las fricciones, podría descubrir que él no es tan insensible como parece, y él, que sus prejuicios sobre ella eran solo un muro que necesitaba caer.

    Summary

    James Potter cared for Regulus Black like a little brother, and that had been the case from the very beginning. Maybe it was because he had always been Regulus's babysitter since they were younger.

    He simply treated Regulus as the little brother he never had—and since Regulus was Sirius's (his best friend) younger brother, it felt natural for him to act that way toward the little creature who always seemed to hold onto things.

    But when he turned thirteen and they were at the villa for a short summer trip, James suddenly realized he would never see Regulus as his little brother again.

    From that day on, Regulus was everything but a little brother to him.

    Summary

    Ona — chaos.
    On — chłód.

    Ona gra perfekcyjnie.
    On — perfekcyjnie rani.

    Znają się od zawsze. I od zawsze próbują się nawzajem złamać.

    To nie jest opowieść o miłości.
    To historia o obsesji, samotności i dźwiękach, które wybrzmiewają, nawet gdy pianino już ucichło.

    Summary

    Dean is in Heaven, but the promised peace has a bitter edge.
    Castiel lies in the Empty, yet something inside him still stirs.
    There’s a pain Dean can’t name, a love left unfinished, and a new threat creeping through the folds of eternity.
    Old friends return, new bonds are forged, and the past — especially the parts that still burn — comes back demanding to be heard.

    A story about redemption, memory, courage… and choices that change everything.

     

    P.s.
    Before diving into this long-fic, I recommend checking out my standalone story titled “Happy Birthday, Cas!”, also published here on AO3.
    It’s not required to follow the plot, but it adds a touch of sweetness and emotional context — especially if you enjoy Dean awkwardly trying to make his favorite angel happy.
    💚💙

    Summary

    “You should be careful out here,” Ike said to change the subject. Partly, anyway, since the topic was still concern for Soren, but this time he meant it in a more immediate and physical way. “I’d hate it if a strong gust of wind came along and blew you into the water.”

    He was so small and light that he probably wouldn’t even make a splash when he hit the surface of the waves.

    Was that… a laugh, though? “I’m on better terms with the wind spirits than that, but I appreciate the concern.”

    True; Ike had always been a little bit in awe of Soren’s command of the elements, even in the beginning when his wind spells were too weak to be useful in a fight. Biting back his own smile, he gave into the temptation to catch the edge of Soren’s cloak with his fingers, a tiny anchor point whether Soren thought he needed it or not. “I’d rather not test that. I can’t lose you.”

    Summary

    Before Levi Ackerman became humanity's strongest, he was just a lonely little kid from the Underground. Before his powers were awakened, he met a girl who could fight, steal, and survive better than most, and he admired her for it.

    They meet again one day as adults. He recruits her into his crew. Together, they were powerful.

    ...And they fall in love.

    But when the infamous surface-backed organization offers her a way out, there is a catch: she has to go alone.

    She chooses to stay.
    Levi, not wanting her to give up her chance, breaks things off to protect her, to give her the life she deserves.

    She disappears. The offer dies.

    And then Erwin recruits Levi, Farlan, and Isabel.

    Some time passes, and they meet again on the surface.
    No longer what they once were, but never really over.

    Is there something left for them, or are they going to bury what once was?

    Summary

    Drifting from one bar gig to another, Jimin poured everything he had into each performance because surviving off his music was the only option he had. When a high-paying party gig landed in his lap, he took it without hesitation. What he didn’t expect was to walk away from it with a husband.

    It wasn’t love… at least, not on paper. Jeongguk, a marine engineer with no patience for romance, needed a spouse for the benefits. Jimin, uninsured and stretched thin, needed coverage. The arrangement was clear: mutual gain, no complications. But a year in, the lines they had sworn they’d never cross began to blur. What started as a tidy arrangement was beginning to feel dangerously close to something real.

    Summary

    Tom allowed a genuine smile past his bloody lips as he raised his slender fingers to his gaze. Miss Granger really ought to curb such a self destructive habit, digging her fingernails into her palm like a reprimanded child?

    How very unladylike.

    Tom pressed his fingers to his nose, smelling her sweet scent of copper and iron. He could hardly suppress a moan as he breathed her in deeply.

    He traced those two, bloody fingers across his lips, allowing his and hers to intermingle in an intimate act of which one party was not privy to. Tom couldn’t quite bring himself to care, his tongue darting out to taste her, despite himself overeager at the thought of her on his tongue. A groan escaped his throat, low and guttural as he dipped his fingers into his mouth, swirling her there like a fine wine.

    Hermione Granger tasted positively divine.

    (NOT abandoned- author just travelling :D)

    Summary

    “Dong-Ju slept with me.”

    Silence. He heard a chocked noise from his right. Dong-Ju looked startled.

    “In separate rooms though-“

    Nice save, Jong-Hyeon. Incredible.

    Dong-Ju did in fact not sleep in a different bedroom. Hell— they didn’t even sleep at all.

    Han-na was side eyeing the both of them with so much suspicion that it made Jong-Hyeon visibly shiver. He felt trapped. Dong-Ju didn’t even face her anymore. He was hiding his flushed face below the peak of his cap.

    But his stupid ears were peaking out. Red and glowing like they knew they’d betrayed the both of them first.

    What had they done…

    Summary

    When Draco’s dormant Veela heritage awakens on his eighteenth birthday, it magnifies everything he hates about being seen, his name, his past, and his allure. People want the magic, not the man beneath it. Desperate to be seen for who he really is, Draco brews a potion to suppress the Veela’s pull, not to cure it, just to quiet it. But it backfires, violently. Hermione is the one who heals him and stays. Where others are enchanted, she isn’t overwhelmed; she sees him. And for the first time, Draco begins to believe he’s not just a creature to be resisted or feared, but someone worthy of being understood. Their bond doesn’t begin with claiming; it begins with recognition.

    Summary

    All the members are finally discharged from the military service, and they reunite and immediately start working, although going back to their previous lives is sometimes a challenge.

    Jeongguk feels tense and thinks that finding some company to blow off a bit of steam with might help, but finding that someone is hard when you are an internationally known superstar. Jimin recommends him an anonymous dating app and while hesitant, Jeongguk actually gives it a try and to his surprise finds an interesting guy to chat with. Their chatting gets more personal and more intense overtime until it starts involving personal photos and videos.

    His world is flipped upside down when he realizes that the mysterious man he is talking to is not a stranger at all, but it is actually his group mate that he’s always had feelings for. And it feels like the universe is maybe trying to tell them something, maybe with this new era it is time for them to stop running from their feelings and put their happiness first. But will they be able to finally take that step and follow their hearts?
