Summary
In the neon-lit streets and alleys of Yokohama, beauty is a mask and Skills are a weapon. In this city, where the Armed Detective Agency and the Port Mafia vie for control from the shadows, a new force has emerged. The Twilight Maidens are not the heroines of a novel, but a group of women with power as immense as their ambitions.
These Archons and their allies are governed not by justice or evil, but by survival in a game of conspiracies, ancient revenge, and silent love. They manipulate destiny with the same ease as a writer manipulates their pen, while the past, filled with broken promises and old wounds, haunts them.
They seek not redemption, but something far more dangerous: freedom on their own terms. In this world, where war is a work of art and cruelty a dance, beauty is not fragility, it is a strategy. It's a love used as a weapon and the last smile you'll see before Yokohama burns.

Summary
So it’s not Soap’s fault, is the thing.
He assesses the situation, evaluates the terrain, makes a totally reasonable conclusion. Soldiers die, it happens. Their companions lose the connection, become indistinguishable from any regular animal. But it’s not like they just up and puff into smoke. It usually becomes next of kin’s responsibility, just like anywhere else - the more typical animals get taken to shelters or adopted by the deceased’s family. If your lucky stiff had some rare Left-Spotted Lesser Transylvanian Weasel or something then a conservation org or zoo might happily take it off your hands.
But just as often companions just scarper. Birds fly away, dogs jump a fence, cats skitter off and join the feral colonies hanging around the nearest underpass - but this fucking thing Soap’s nearly stepped in ain’t even making it down the stairs.
So Soap, Christlike in nature as he is, decides to do a good deed this fine evening.

Summary
Did Minhee think her body was gone because she got careless with it? Would she have accidentally drowned if she didn’t hold herself together, if she wasn’t wound up so tight? Did Seungmin also feel this way, and if so why wouldn't she talk to Minhee about it?

Summary
Black Sapphire was a late-night radio host secretly affiliated with the Shadow Coven, a vampire mafia that owned most of SpireLight City’s underworld. His silver tongue and debilitating drug addiction got him into a lot of trouble and a lot of debt. Like a LOT. Enough that he could very well stay indebted to his boss—and messy situationship—for the rest of his life.
One drug-fueled night, Sapphire ended up on the doorstep of a flower shop. And in his dilapidated state, he was taken in by a man named Silverbell. A man whose blood smelled irresistibly sweet. A man who looked human, but had an otherworldly charm about him. Sapphire needed a taste of his blood, but Silverbell wasn’t going to let him have it. And so started Sapphire’s new hyperfixation. He wouldn’t leave the man alone—couldn’t leave him alone.
Until one night, he didn’t show up. And then another. And another. And soon, Silverbell found out through a friend of Sapphire’s, another vampire named Candy, that Sapphire had been put up for auction. So he, along with Candy and another vampire named Rosé, attempted the rescue mission of their lives.

Summary
In a valley divided by curses and blood, two families wage a generations-long feud: the Rietvelds, bound to the river with scales on their skin, and the Ghafas, haunted by feathers that mark them for the sky. Kaz Rietveld knows only ledgers, vengeance, and the weight of drowning. Inej Ghafa walks the wires like a shadow, her rope and feathers a warning to all who cross her clan.
When she saves him from the river, their fates entwine—scale to feather, curse to curse. As their families spiral into open war, Kaz and Inej must choose between the feud that defines them and the forbidden tether that could destroy them both.
A tale of curses and choices, a fable of vengeance and faith, and a love fierce enough to defy both sky and river.

Summary
“Bloodsucker.” He greeted, leaning one elbow against the bar and crowding into Adam’s space as much as was possible when there was a long wooden slab between them, “How’s it going?”
Adam couldn’t stop the look of disgust from crawling onto his face, but he quickly tamped it down into an apathetic expression, “What do you want?”
“No warm welcome?” The man mocked.
“For you?” Adam responded? “Not likely.”
“Seems like everything worked out well for you.” The man rapped his knuckles against the bar and looked Adam up and down in a slow movement, “All things considered.”
If Adam could blush, he would have.
The first time Adam had seen this man, he hadn’t thought much about him, a little bit too panicked at that moment. But now that he was right in front of him, looming into his space, Adam realised that he was really quite attractive, which was infuriating. He hated it when mean people were attractive, because it always seemed like such a waste.
[AKA Adam is a vampire, Ronan is a werewolf, and their friends have to deal with their homoerotic tension for far too long]

Summary
Magic happens anywhere, to anyone, without rhyme or reason. Far more likely to happen with rhyme than with reason, in fact. Most magic items aren’t really valuable, though. A top from a Christmas cracker that can spin forever, a coin that always lands on heads. Tiny, everyday miracles. Spells are even worse, happening in an instant and then over, completely impossible to replicate in a lab.
This doesn't stop Jayce from studying magic, and the artifacts at least are left with magical abilities that remain consistent. So when a man turns up offering to donate an unusually valuable one Jayce is keen. Only the man is donating himself, a living doll, with a sharp intelligence potentially more valuable as a partner in Jayce's studies than as an object to be studied himself.

Summary
"So who are you then? A shaman? A witcher? A poisoner?" Jisung chuckled. "Hyung, seriously, why do you need so many herbs? Your kitchen looks like a Pinterest board!"
Minho frowned and turned around, wiping his hands. Okay, this guy asked for it. The herbalist snapped his fingers, and the coffee mug flew out of Jisung's hands, sailing across the kitchen and landing smoothly in Minho's waiting palm, without spilling a drop.
"I'm a witch. Any more questions, 'psychic'?" the man said coldly, trying to hide the hint of smugness in his voice.
🌿🌿🌿
Minho is certain: no rogue deserves his potions. He’d rather brew himself some tea and watch another episode of anime than help some charlatan who doesn’t even believe in magic.
However, it seems the smile of the “psychic” Han Jisung possesses a magic far older than spells, runic circles, or magical crystals.

Summary
Will dies in the fall. Hannibal discovers that Gods have only ever been crafted of devotion and belief, that faith has its genesis in hunger pains. Will is his God in more ways than the metaphorical now, Hannibal his best and only worshipper, and their religion is love.
“All peoples are driven to the point of eating their gods after a time: it’s the old greed for a plateful of outer space, that craving for darkness. The lust to feel what it does to you when your teeth meet in divinity, in the flesh.”
—Margaret Atwood, Eating Snake

Summary
Meet Caitira Nic Ruaidhrí: Witch, Huntress, and unabashed Geek Girl.
After chasing Cassius Malack, a dangerous magical criminal, to New York City, Caitira meets four unusual brothers whose goals align with her own. She soon realizes that working with Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo may be her best chance for victory. But defeating a murderous Warlock won't be easy, especially now that Malack has taken control of the Purple Dragons. In the power vacuum left by the fall of the Foot Clan, the Dragons are becoming stronger every day, and it looks like their new leader may have especially wicked plans for the gang. If Caitira and the Turtles don't discover what he's plotting soon, it could spell the end for an entire city.
As the plot thickens, so do the desires and tensions between Caitira and her new companions. What began as a mere alliance may quickly become much, much more.
The Ninja Turtles in this fiction are influenced by various versions—TMNT 1990, 2003, 2012, Bayverse, and IDW—but they have been aged forward. They are fully adults, people! I don't own TMNT. Any similarities to real persons are unintentional.

Twelve Weeks of Summer by Ripple on the Water (Ellenar_Ride)

Summary
The summer before graduation, Rex Vhett opts for a twelve-week position as a lighthouse keeper instead of a summer intensive like his classmates. The fresh air and quiet will be a good opportunity to get away from the choices hanging over his head, if only for the summer, though he won't be going alone. It's probably excessive to bring along a supernatural investigator, but at least it will bring his roommate some peace of mind.
While the usual summer lull is starting up early, Obi-Wan Kenobi is perfectly capable of managing his own workload, thank you very much. But if his little brother is really so worried about his college roommate vanishing into the middle of nowhere for three months, it's no trouble to tag along. There are plenty of cold cases to fill up his days, and at least he'll get a break from the weight of knowing stares that start up like clockwork every May.
The lighthouse is everything either of them could hope for, a shelter from the storm of life where they finally have a chance to catch their breath. But calm doesn't mean peaceful, stillness isn't safety, and a moment captured in amber preserves only ghosts. Summer can't stay forever, and eventually everyone must make a choice.

Summary
The kiss is nothing but a brush, soft and tasting of all the coffee they’ve had to try during the day. Donghyuck takes it onto himself to deepen it, and Renjun’s body can’t fight it, letting his jaw hang loose and his head tilt back to make room for Donghyuck. And in his mind—
Well. This is good.
Holy shit, it worked, in Donghyuck’s voice.

Summary
Having escaped from a religious cult, Neil begins a new life. Finally, the walls of his room aren't adorned with smiling icons, and above the bed, instead of a cross, hangs an ordinary painting of a seascape. He doesn't believe in anything anymore. After what he's been through, anyone in his place would have become an atheist.
"You're cursed," says Andrew Minyard, when Neil finds himself on the verge of death for the 7th time this week. Is this charlatan exorcist mocking him? And what does he mean, cursed?!

Summary
When they all had leave at the same time, Ghost didn’t seem to go anywhere, or do anything with any particular urgency, it was weird.
No, what was really weird was that randomly, they’d come back from somewhere, they’d all be told ‘Good job lads, rest up’ and a few days later Ghost would be gone for 48 hours. Even weirder, he’d come back pale and wobbly. Even weirder than that, he’d be in a really good mood for a few days, boisterous, maybe even playful. Soap really wanted to hear him laugh again.
So far, he’d never been called away when he was in anything but good health, but part of being a good team player was worrying about these things. Soap was a great team player, Ghost’s health concerned him deeply.
