    Summary

    A year after the war, the wizarding world is still reeling between grief and fragile reconstruction. The newly-formed Auror division faces its most brutal case yet: a single creature, ravenous and merciless, leaving nothing but torn bodies and panic in its wake.

    Harry, Hermione, and Ron are sent to hunt the monster. But the deeper they chase, the clearer it becomes that this is no mindless beast. The creature hesitates. Watches. Fights with purpose. Almost as if there’s something human left inside.

    The Ministry demands blood. The Aurors must obey. But not every monster is just a monster.

    Summary

    Chan’s voice always sounds a little higher, a little chipper in the morning, even when he keeps it levelled and quiet around Minho. He doesn’t know when he started noticing that as the day goes by, Chan’s voice tends to wear in pitch, clear when he leads the kitchen, then a low, tired hum once the night comes to a close. A slow, tantalizing descending slope. Then the next day comes, and Minho anticipates his bright, morning tone, all over again. Rinse, repeat.

    Minho never meant to become chef de cuisine, but somehow, it just turned out that way—him and his friends, coming together, with him at the centre of it, Chan at his side.

    Summary

    Carys is a runner, always leaving one self-made disaster for the next. After hesitantly accepting a room & board position at an organic farm, she expects to spend her days elbow deep in dishwater and picking bugs off produce. She isn't expecting Jack, fat, curly-haired, and a little bit standoffish, to disrupt her peace. As the weeks fly by in a whirl of longing glances and mounting tension, Carys feels her resolve to stay professional weaken, and Jack begins to wonder if the new cook isn't trying to add to his waistline.

    Summary

    Rody should recoil. Should resist. But instead, he lets out a laugh — a sharp, broken thing.

    “You’re a bastard.”

    And Vincent smirks, satisfied. “Maybe, that’s what it takes.”

    Rody looks at him and for a second, he sees it — that same frantic hunger, that visceral need that has been plaguing him. Unsated. And it’s not soft nor gentle, but it’s real.

     

    or, a somewhat horror, dark romance, slow-burn-ish, trauma-bonding fic with a splash of civil unrest and culinary homicide.

    Using a dead mans calculus was an incomplete method, and fundamentally flawed approach to balance such an important equation. Seto should have realized it sooner.

    Summary

    “Isn’t there anything more detestable to God than a lover who does not risk their life for their beloved?” Hannibal asks, so casually, as if just making polite conversation—the same polite conversation that will bury her six feet under. “Some people say that is why Orpheus did not make it out of Hades with Persephone. He dared come in there alive.”

    Hannibal, Bedelia and Will discuss the nature of desire over Bedelia’s leg. At the end, they learn that desire will always leave you hungry.

     

    Heavily inspired by Anne Carson's "Eros, the Bittersweet."

    Summary

    "I didn't mean to hurt those people," he says firmly. You almost laugh because of how serious he looks, but in a moment of sobriety, you catch the slip. The slightest slip of emotion no one else would. The smallest tightening of skin at his jaw. Then you realise it really is him. Because the Winter Soldier doesn't speak. Not like this.

    "I’m not a bad guy."

    or

    You escaped HYDRA baring the scars from a past life, head hazy and mind fuzzy. Steve, just like you in more ways than you like to admit, searches for you.

    Summary

    They've been together for five years now. Five years of learning how to love each other without raising their voices.

    Five years of Daeyoung coming home to a warm bath and Yushi's cooking, of Yushi's eyes lighting up every single time he hears the door unlock.

    This is their story—told through the meals they share, the small rituals that make up their days, and all the quiet ways they show love when no one else is watching.

    Every chapter has a recipe, a moment, and a reminder that the loudest love isn't always the truest kind.

    Summary

    As the personification of food, Mitchell has tasted vast varieties of such. He'd be lying to say he doesn't have favorites. In turn, it would also be a lie to say he loves every variant of food. The mere thought of what is presented in front of the man makes him want to crumple his notes.

    or

    Reader gives something Mitchell dislikes, cronuts.
