Summary
The world can be a harsh and brutal place, where even just trying to exist can be overwhelming. In a near future, Han Jisung has found the perfect escape in a fully immersive VR game where he is able to thrive in the environment rather than struggle to tolerate it. A world where he can feel like someone who can be loved, and indulge in a virtual romance without the pressure and fear caused with real ones. Somewhere he can feel just like a normal person. He will soon find, though, that even something that feels perfect can never fully be an escape from reality, and who he is. He is in a losing fight in maintaining the balance between keeping the reality he is so desperate to run away from, and the virtual world where he can fake being more real than in reality separated.
Or; A story about struggling to exist in (and out of) the world with autism, trauma, and a complicated relationship with sexuality. About escapism, acceptance, healing, and the ordeal of falling in love.

Summary
An outlaw love story with bite.
Cassidy “Copper” Lane doesn’t do trust, not after what the world’s taken from her. She rides solo, shoots straight, and keeps her scars where everyone can see them—so no one dares get close.
Then Arthur Morgan shows up. Van der Linde gang enforcer. Too serious. Too smart. And way too good at peeling back the walls she spent years building.
Thrown together by bad luck and worse timing, Cassidy and Arthur navigate bullets, bounty hunters, and betrayal on the fading edge of the Wild West. She’s got a sharp tongue. He’s got a quiet kind of storm. Together, they’re either the perfect disaster or the last chance either of them has at redemption.
Witty, brutal, and full of heart, The Last Draw is a gritty western romance where survival means keeping your gun loaded—and maybe, just maybe, letting someone in.

Summary
She does not want him to touch her.
Shaking, shivering, ready to crawl out of her skin.
Somehow, blessedly, he knows that.
Keeps his hands cocked at shoulder height where she can see them.
Staring as she trembled, all of her violent quaking unable to coax even a blink from hard, grey eyes suddenly blown doe wide. -

Summary
John has been fantasizing of someone else lately. Someone wiry thin even nearing his late 30s. As sleek as a greyhound and just as limber. When John looks at his podgy stomach, classic middle-aged spread, he just doesn’t think 'average' will cut it to stand beside someone exceptional like Sherlock.
aka: how john learns through convoluted and questionable sherlockian means how wrong he is about that.

Summary

Summary
Depression works in mysterious ways. Sometimes it's crying, screaming, mourning, fighting, rotting—Sometimes it's acceptance that you're never going to get out of the hell hole you dug yourself into.
Kyoei Joy falls into the latter category.

Summary
The door opens to reveal no one other than the Executive Manager of the Sinners.
“Out with it.” The Color Fixer spits out, ruffling his hands through his bed head and lets out a big sigh.
He watches as the clock executive “stammers” scribbles down what they’re trying to communicate. There is a brief silence filled with the scratches of pen to paper as Vergilius’s gaze is fixated on the damned notebook.
'Is everything alright? You’re unusually late for breakfast.'
The rhythm of the ticks sounded a bit jittery and nervous, if you could personify it.
