    Summary

    The flawless ease with which Jaskier lands the job should be his very first clue that the whole thing is a bad fucking deal.

    But, never one to look a gift paycheck in the mouth when it seems his indie music career will never take off, Jaskier signs right the fuck up when he walks in and is inexplicably offered the head bartender position at The Medallion.

    Jaskier does not consider for a moment that he is actually qualified for it. Sure, he has experience, five years bartending in Oxenfurt before his recent move to Blaviken is nothing to sneeze at, but he has no actual managerial expertise.

    Churning out shots, shaking mixed drinks and pulling pints at lightspeed is not something that is intimidating to Jaskier, but being expected to do so while also taking responsibility for managing the two other bartenders on staff is not Jaskier’s forte.

    Still, after just over three weeks at his new job, Jaskier is cautiously optimistic that he has indeed, somehow, been able to fake it until he makes it.

    That is, until the night that the pub's real owners come to visit, and Jaskier gets his first look at the Wolves who run this town.

    Summary

    As a biochemical engineer working for the U.S. military, life gets complicated, so you impulsively ran away to a secluded cabin on a lake just outside of Ottawa for a few weeks’ solitude.

    Yet, your self-imposed exile is short lived when you meet your two neighbors on the lake, professional hockey players Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov – you don’t know the first thing about hockey, so you have no idea who they are, something that seems to entertain, intrigue and irritate them all at once.

    One thing you know to be true is every action has consequences, even if the action was unintentional on your part.

    Irrevocably you got both men’s attention and the resolution that is a core personality trait they share will not allow them to let this go regardless of the consequences that will come of it.

    Shane and Ilya have constantly struggled to keep their need for dominance that borders on the animalistic and depraved - at bay for almost a decade. Willingly choosing to become entangled with Hollander and Rozanov and submitting to their chaos and control, is an insane choice to endure.

    Summary

    The second part of the Glass and Fire (Quarang) series, following Between Glass and Fire, but it can also be read as a standalone story.

    Lyle worries about his colonel’s growing entanglement with the Mangkwan clan. What worries him even more is his relationship with their Tsahìk. Lyle witnesses Quaritch’s growing attachment to Varang, and realizes the clan is more than just some warriors, and Varang more than a leader.

    Sometimes belief is far more dangerous than force.

    Summary

    If there’s a chance for something to slip away from how it was meant to be, it will. Like water from a stream finding new ways to flow.

    Summary

    Ominis Ciro Gaunt breathed his first as his mother exhaled her last. Delivered from the womb on the heels of Samhain twilight, the second son of the House of Gaunt came squalling into the world, feasting on the death rattle choking Medea Gaunt's throat. His father had named him appropriately enough.

    A promise of something inauspicious, a lingering mark of something dark on the horizon. It was no wonder that necromancy called to him. Ominis communed with these forgotten echoes, their rot-blackened fingers reaching for a taste of light and a voice to scream with, and he responded with hunger. He'd been ravenous since the day he was born, and no food or water would quench it. No, Ominis Gaunt would only be sated by what the dead offered. Power.

    An arranged marriage. A manor that does not stay the same after moonrise. A death-mage with blood on his hands and grave-dirt in his bones…and a bride who might not survive him.

    Summary

    Chi Cheng lives by order—discipline, rules, and the certainty that everything bends to his control. Power is simple: he commands, others obey—inside the lecture hall and far beyond it.

    Wu Suo Wei ruins that simplicity. Naïve but disarming, eager yet defiant without meaning to, he turns every rule inside out. What should have been a distraction becomes an obsession: obedience that feels like rebellion, surrender that tastes like defiance.

    Control was never meant to slip.

    But with every kiss, every stumble of honesty, every wide-eyed glance, Chi Cheng learns the most dangerous lesson of all—some things can’t be taught or controlled.

    Summary

    The tables have turned in a haunting reversal of the past. Once, Emily was the Handler tasked with monitoring a broken Cal; now, she finds herself the Asset. Branded a traitor by a web of synthetic evidence, Emily is thrust into the very shoes Cal once wore, experiencing the crushing weight of the leash she once used to bind him.
    Following the same brutal psychological path Cal once walked, Emily must submit to the crushing weight of physical and digital restraints, proving her innocence through total vulnerability.
    While the trauma is deep, she is left at a crossroads: will she resent the man who holds the keys to her cage, or will this shared vulnerability finally allow her to understand the terror she once put him through?

    For Cal, the challenge is even greater: he must overcome the 1% doubt that his training demands he never ignores. He is caught in a war between his tactical training and his heart, struggling to be the Handler he once feared.

    In this crucible of surveillance and submission, their shared pain becomes their bridge. By experiencing each other’s greatest fears, will this shared trauma heal their old wounds, or shatter their relationship beyond repair?

    Summary

    Katsuki Bakugou is sick in ways money can’t fix.

    Izuku Midoriya is broken in ways love can’t save.

    Bound together since childhood, their lives twist into something intense, insular, and dangerous - where illness, abuse, privilege, and devotion bleed into one another. As Katsuki’s neurological condition worsens and Izuku endures violence behind a perfect smile, their relationship becomes both refuge and trap. Friends circle closer, hospitals replace classrooms, and silence becomes a survival strategy.

    This is not a story about healing quickly or loving safely.

    It’s about staying alive for someone else when you no longer know how to live for yourself.

    Summary

    You're not going to believe this, but my sister and I were stolen by the fae...Well, okay, A fae, and he didn't exactly do an amazing job of it. Still, in the lifetime I've spent looking for her since, I've ended up with an ever-growing pile of questions and answers that make less and less sense as I find more of them. To top it off, the news has spread that a feared mercenary is back from the dead, and the gods alone know why now of all times is when they agreed to resurrect her. I don't even think THEY know why she's agreed to train me, but it means I'm about to have a lot more to worry about than just kidnapping and clock theft.

    See? You already don't believe me. It's fair; I wouldn't either. Nonetheless, while I can't and won't promise the truth, I think I'll at least be able to fit some honesty in.

    And it'll certainly be interesting.

    Summary

    Husk was a simple man. Really.

    All you needed to get him going was a nice glass of whiskey, and a risky game of poker that he was bound to win.

    Why, he’d go as far as to say that he had no sort of complicated desire at all. But alas, simplicity went out the window when a certain radio demon tuned into his bar. And Husk…well, Husk never was one to turn down a challenge.

    Summary

    The others call it favoritism, but Seonghwa calls it survival. If the most dangerous man in the city wants to spoil him, he isn’t stupid enough to refuse.

    At least that’s what he tells them.

    Because sometimes, when Hongjoong’s eyes follow him across the stage, when he fucks Seonghwa, breaks him like he is his, he lets himself imagine it’s something else. Something that means more than what they have been doing for the past two and half years in the confines of that private suite.

    Or;

    Seonghwa is a struggling college student working at a café. That is until he meets a stranger in an alleyway who gives him an opportunity he cannot refuse.

    What Seonghwa doesn't expect is to get tangled with the dangerous leader of Busan's most powerful organized crime syndicate in the process.

    Summary

    After a brutal encounter with Abel Gideon leaves Dr. Frederick Chilton broken and hollowed out, he finds an unexpected sanctuary in Ash, a sharp-edged FBI agent who refuses to let him retreat into his own trauma. What begins as a recovery born of necessity turns into a profound, secret bond—one that transforms Frederick from a preening administrator into a man with something to lose.

    When Will Graham is committed to Frederick’s care, the newly formed pair realizes that the "neurological disaster" in Cell 105 is actually the masterpiece of a much more dangerous predator.

    Joining forces with a drugged and desperate Will, Frederick and Ash form an "Underground Trio" to surgically dismantle Hannibal Lecter’s frame-up. From secret lab tests to a high-stakes extraction, Frederick must use his newfound spine to protect the people he loves. But as the fog of Scopolamine clears, the Chesapeake Ripper realizes the technician he once mocked has finally picked up the blade.

    Summary

    "The butterfly wouldn't even know it was caught at first. It would land among the silk of the trap and drink from the strands, and it would rest. It only knew its fate when it tried to leave.

    Henry's favorite part was watching its wings flutter uselessly as it became ensnared."

    You knew nothing other than the kind orderly Henry Creel who watched over you, who saved you, but, at the same time, you couldn't shake the feeling of his hands covering your eyes. What was on the other side of what he let you see?
