Summary
Hoseok will do anything for his family, including entering a marriage that might be loveless. At least, he reasons, he's 99% compatible with Yoongi.
Yoongi's sworn to love Namjoon forever, even if his every touch causes both of them pain. Fate, however, wants him to marry Hoseok, and he's got only 2 weeks to get out of it.
Namjoon only wants to be given back his right to love; the right to marry whoever he wants. But sometimes you need to work for the things you want, even if they're nothing more than basic rights.
(Or, the au in which you can't marry unless you're matched Compatible, with exactly one (1) arranged marriage, a pinch of angst, some family trouble, and... lots of love. Ft. The rest of bangtan being supportive and wholesome.)

Summary
“Yes, Jojo?” Holly answered, reaching for the remote to lower the tv’s volume.
Judging by her son’s expression, what he intended to say was going to be something important–again.“Can I tell you something?” Jotaro asked, sounding a little shy– feeble almost.
He was frowning. His brow was harshly furrowed, and his eyes had a watery teary gleam to them that reflected the TV screen’s dim lighting, creating a glossy effect.
He’s going to tell me he’s been getting bullied– again. Holly finds herself thinking.

Summary
Hansol's a drunk. He drinks away the pain of his past, spending nights in bars and in a jail cell. He never once cared about this, never found any reason to care. That is until he meets one Boo Seungkwan. A beautiful bloom, delicate and sweet. Hansol wanted nothing more than to bask in his warm glow, but he knows that he can't do that without exposing him to his dark and desolate corner. Hansol is faced with a decision - either let him in or force him out to live in blissful ignorance.
I suck at summaries. But the general idea is that Hansol is an alcoholic and Seungkwan is, well, Seungkwan. Hansol battles his addiction and Seungkwan does his best to support him. But supporting someone so deeply affected by mental illness takes a toll on oneself.

Summary
FORMERLY TITLED "YOURS TRULY, KITTY."
Katherine "Kitty" Song Covey’s fresh start in Seoul hits a snag when her flight is overbooked and she’s stuck next to Min Ho Moon in first class. What begins as awkward tension slowly turns into a surprising connection, even as Kitty’s heart breaks discovering her long-distance boyfriend, Daeheon "Dae" Kim, has moved on without her.
Balancing the intense demands of KISS with emotional chaos, Kitty also uncovers a shocking secret hidden in her late mother’s diary—a hospital ID that hints her chemistry teacher, Alex Finnerty, might be her half-brother. Even more unsettling: could the man she’s always called "Dad" actually not be her biological father?
Amid secrets, heartbreak, and academic struggles, Kitty’s journey is messy but real—leading her toward truths that will change everything she thought she knew about family and herself.

In one long, exhausted movement, Denji turns to her and asks, “You hungry for anything?” Then, as an afterthought, he adds: “Don’t say meat.”
It isn’t until he's halfway down the block, Nayuta's form slung over his shoulders like a Horseman of the Apocalypse shaped backpack, that he realizes he has no fucking idea how he’s going to explain this to his roommates.
---
Or; Makima reincarnates in a timeline that has been gentler to our main cast than canon was. As you can imagine, the Hayakawa family takes Nayuta's newfound presence in their lives very well, and do not say or do anything rash.

Summary
Letting a ten-year-old boy onto the streets of Gotham to chase down criminals may not be Matsui's smartest move, but a) Inaba's been doing that for years and everyone's fine with it by now, b) the kid was raised by assassins, and c) he kept following Matsui around with this miserable, kicked cat look on his face.
What better place to hide from a family you didn't want to talk to than Gotham City's rooftops?
(And just maybe, Matsui knows what it's like to be raised as a killer. Matsui knows what it's like to want to do better. If he can give Kurikara that chance, he will.)
