Summary
❝ In return for a waived overdue book fee, an eventual all-expenses-paid vacation, a date that doesn't fall apart at the seams, and so-called bragging rights, you agree to fake a life for the summer as Al-Haitham's fiancée just to help the professor-slash-librarian prove to an old friend of his that his life isn't all that bad. It's clear to you that Al-Haitham cares more than anything about restoring his brittle friendship with Kaveh, so if you can be of help in return for some stability in your disastrous love life, even if it is all for show, you don't see the harm. After all, who could ever truly fall in love with the impossibly academic and stiff Al-Haitham? ❞

Summary
Feeling as though life is growing stagnant, you and your fiance move from your modest, rural hometown back to the city he grew up in. Relocating is stressful, but your job at the local elementary school is perfect and brings with it new friends like the soft yet stern kindergarten teacher, Levi, and the half-crazed fifth grade science teacher, Hange.
It also causes you to cross paths with one Erwin Smith, the college professor Levi introduces you to, and though you're more than content with your fiance, you can't help but notice a certain spark between yourself and the well-spoken, blue-eyed man.
It might have something to do with the striking similarities he shares with a certain military commander you've been dreaming about since childhood.

Summary
“I’ve got to kill myself, and it’s got to be tonight. So, you know, be on your merry way. Or whatever.”
“What do you mean, you’ve got to?”
“Do you want the long version, or the short one?”
“What do you think?” His reply positively dripped with sarcasm.
“There is a contract between my father and another man.”
He stared, silent. You did not continue.
“A contract. For you to kill yourself,” his voice was flat, but the words patently disbelieving.
“You asked for the short version.”When adeptus Xiao—Guardian Yaksha, Conqueror of Demons—has his night interrupted by a suicidal human with a terminal case of nihilism he walks away from the interaction with far more than he had bargained for.
