Summary
A witch DoTae au with lots of found family and angst and fluff. I'm a sucker for Hurt/Comfort and a Supernatural au so this is exactly that, and as per usual I have no ability to keep from adding crossovers so there's a little bit of more than just NCT going on here. But it's mostly NCT....There's also plenty of other ships.

Summary
In the hustle and bustle of Seoul, settled snugly between restaurants, there is Anemoia Coffee, a small cafe frequented by tired college students. Hidden behind the espresso machines, Soobin melts into the background of his corner of the cafe, just how he should. He likes the quiet, he tells himself. He has to.
When a few witches stumble into his cafe, however, he peeks out from his corner. One step at a time, he dares to shine.
alternatively: a cozy story about the moon, friendship, healing, and learning to trust (having a hot beverage to go along with it would be nice too)

Running the Gauntlet by adventuresofcomicbookgirl

Summary
Apparently, spending most of his life running from yokai made Natsume faster than the average person. Natsume had experienced a lot of reoccurring horrors, but the most annoying of them was being hounded by track coaches at every school he went to.
And then, one fateful sports day at his school, he wins a relay race for the sake of friendship and his personal hell returns...
This was based on a silly tumblr post I made about how great at running Natsume must be,and what if track coaches noticed that, which I'll link in the description. Tumblr user schrodingersauthorii also left a comment on said post that gave me an idea for parts of the fic.
Lots of friendship in this, lots of everyone loving and wanting to protect Natsume, all that good stuff.

Summary
Mitsuki thinks back to the barren room, with the bare closet, and the nonfunctional kitchen. He could help fill that space. He certainly has the funds to—more than enough. He’s not sure what Sakura would even like, but if he had extra money to spend…
He is at least self-aware enough to know it’s a tad bit patronizing to offer someone an allowance out of the blue.
He stares at his phone contemplatively before typing in the search bar: how to ask someone to be your sugar baby but like in a platonic way

Summary
He felt wildly out of practice being around this many people in a casual setting. He was used to meetings, galas, ceremonies – all places where he was paraded around like a prized doll or the kings show-pony, to be used to boast about the defeat of the Calamity. To be seen and not heard; visual proof that the King had brought peace to the kingdom.
Cal was…out of his depth, here.

Or, the Hero of the Calamity meets the Chain.
