Poison of the moon by Somnisneedssleep
Fandoms: 終わりのセラフ | Owari no Seraph | Seraph of the End

Tags
Summary
When the child first saw him, he was at awe of the warmth and brightness he had displayed. The young heir-candidate could only hope to attain such light. Slowly, he never realized that a poison was slipped through the cracks of his heart, a poison alien to him, but what he craves. Years later, he has come to realize what it was, but the moon was already beyond his reach. Love was such a painful poison.
(Or, Shinya never became engaged to Mahiru, but instead befriended the cold-hearted but affection starved Kureto)

Summary
It’s as if Aventurine has transported to an auditorium, occupying the very front row at a grand symphony. Yet, it’s not the enthralling interplay of violins and cellos, nor the booming pronouncements of the brass section, that holds him captive. No, his gaze is drawn to the maestro on the podium, their hands a conduit to the manner of which music should be played. The artist who breathes life into the score, coaxing meaning from thin air. With each precise gesture, a polyphony of notes flutter out from the pages, dry ink metamorphosing into a breathtaking cascade.
There is always something intricate about the way Ratio signs. His hands move with the tempo of a silent orchestra. Yet, there’s a surprising gentleness to his movements. A raw honesty that spoken words can’t always convey. It’s transparent, a message truly spoken from the heart.
A short story based on a HC in which Ratio knows sign language, and Aventurine is transfixed by the way they move.

Summary
Over the course of many years, Aventurine has been practicing diligently, convinced that the lingering touches are nothing more than an act, the tender gazes from Veritas are rehearsed, and their close proximity is all part of the performance. Their relationship in other words was meant to be superficial. A bond lacking emotional depth; it was a practical arrangement, a mutual exchange of benefits without further questions asked.This is what Aventurine is used to, pushing his luck with each stolen moment, a delicious torment that both terrifies and exhilarates him. Yet with every turn, this preordained shallowness feels more and more confusing, the distinction between performance and truth becomes increasingly hazy.
While the IPC hosts a Gala at headquarters, Aventurine finds that Veritas is sent to look for him.

Summary
Chase tin vào Chúa. House chẳng tin gì cả.
Một người đã từng cầu nguyện để tìm kiếm ánh sáng. Một người đã từng bác bỏ mọi điều thiêng liêng. Giữa họ là một mối quan hệ không tên, vừa là thử thách, vừa là sự cứu rỗi. Khi Chase dần đánh mất niềm tin, House kéo cậu vào một cuộc hành trình không phải để tìm lại Chúa, mà để khám phá bản chất thực sự của đức tin, của tội lỗi, và của tình yêu.
"Nếu em muốn từ bỏ Chúa… tôi có thể dạy em cách tận hưởng địa ngục."
Đây là câu chuyện về những kẻ lạc lối, những con chiên không có chúa, và những kẻ yêu nhau theo cách của riêng họ—một cách đầy khiếm khuyết, đau đớn nhưng chân thật đến tàn nhẫn.

Summary
Blueberry Milk was baked to be a Virtue—to know, to guide, to teach, and to serve as the Fount of Knowledge for all Cookiekind. After decades acting as headmaster and researcher at the Blueberry Milk Academy, he is reluctantly pulled back into the classroom, only to find his new students asking questions no book could ever answer. Witches. Purpose. Sentience. Creation. The Fount of Knowledge finds himself crumbling under the weight of truths he was never meant to question.
Far above Earthbread, Pure Vanilla—the Witch who baked him—grapples with guilt. Life Powder was meant to be a miracle; instead, it cursed cookies with sentience and Witches with insatiable hunger for their kind. Desperate to atone, he crafts a reckless plan: to become a cookie once a week, infiltrate Earthbread, and try to right what went so very wrong.
Teacher and creator, cookie and witch—two lives poised on the edge of revelation. But when knowledge tastes as sweet as jam and just as dangerous, what truths are worth uncovering?
