Summary
It is March 1986, eight months since Starcourt. Nancy has buried herself in her work to avoid acknowledging her fading friendship with Jonathan and Robin is hopelessly in love with a girl from band who she can barely build up the courage to talk to. One cannot let go of the past and the other fears an uncertain future.
When students (literally) start dropping dead, they find themselves brought together, still practically strangers. Their personalities clash, Nancy being so serious and Robin being so... Robin, irritation and confusion defining their first moments, but from that tension a spark is born. As the days drag on and they bounce around from Hawkins to Pennhurst to the Upside-Down, they come to find that they relieve the weight of each other's burdens, or maybe they make them heavier; in times like these, another person loved can just as easily be another person lost. Maybe it's best that they keep it all in, for each other's sake and their own.
But the Upside-Down does not wait for teen romance to sort itself out. There is still a killer to catch, a killer who can reach across the dimensional veil and slaughter troubled youths with his mind, and the kids in Hawkins are all on their own this time.

Summary
It’s been officially five weeks since Pomni attended an interview at Spudsy’s. Four weeks since she got hired. Three weeks since her first shift. After around 90 hours of part time work, she can confidently say she hates working at Spudsy’s.
Pomni normally wouldn’t choose to work at a fast food chain but Spudsy's was her last hope. Between drowning in student debt and her boyfriend wanting to move into another apartment, money was something Pomni desperately needed.
The hiring process was quick and Pomni got hired on the spot, which was a red flag that she chose to ignore. She thought the horror stories on r/Spudsy were just exaggerating—it couldn’t be that bad, right?
Wrong.

Summary
For years, the Kochou sisters have experienced dreams of a shared past life filled with horrors and death. In these dreams, which only occur in the nights surrounding their birthdays, the faces are a blur unless that person is encountered in their current life. Until then, on the rare occasions in which they meet someone new who seems startlingly familiar, they must wait to understand why. As Kochou embarks on her first year as a university student, she runs into a quiet and solemn peer who happens to give her the feeling that perhaps they have known each other before...
After taking a few years away from school to help support his family, Tomioka Giyuu finally starts his life as a university student. He has only met one other person who dreams like he does, about a life long ago filled with violence and loss. Until he comes across a petite classmate who seems to want to talk to him whether he is interested in conversation or not. It is the first time, since meeting Sabito as a child, that he experiences the feeling like he may know her from somewhere...

Summary
Regulus felt weak. Every shallow breath was like a blaze over his ribs, and the throbbing pain on his ankles and wrists never stopped, like he could feel the hands around his leg, grabbing and tightening, leaving dark bruises in their wake.
He'd been so close to death. So close, and no one had cared. So, when he had not the power, but the possibility, to change everything, was he prepared to just sit back?
[Regulus Black survives and does the right thing, the Marauders hunt for Horcruxes, and everyone changes their own fates.]

Summary
There was a time when Sam and Sebastian were best friends. Sam remembers everything like it happened yesterday; Sebastian can't remember most of his childhood, memories fogged by his constant state of fight or flight. But for some reason Sam doesn't mind this --doesn't mind the bitter person Sebastian has grown into-- and promises that no matter how long it takes, he will wait. Apparently he's not the only one that feels that way about him either.

“We are launching a new PR initiative. It’s called Rivals to Romance.”
Pedri was sure he had misheard. Jude wished he had. But it seemed that their clubs and the league didn't care how much the two midfielders hated each other. The only things fans loved more than a Clasico was a fabricated PR stunt that made Pedri and Jude look less like enemies and more like... something else.
In football, clauses are meant to protect contracts, but this one might just ruin them both as the line between performance and reality gets dangerously blurry.

Summary
His new partner: Draco Malfoy. Smirking like an albino demon. Pale, and in all black, like death himself dragging Harry back into his clutches.
“I’m sorry?” Harry replied, uncomprehending. The ultimate proof his brain was presently being mangled beyond repair.
Malfoy laughed coldly, sharp as a knife. “Oh Potter. I think we’re a bit beyond that, after all these years?”
Or: the boys opt out of their Auror partnership in favour of the much more interesting project of hating, saving, fucking each other – some combination of the three.
Or: Harry and Draco go through their quarter life crises.

Summary
Kev, a perfectly ordinary human, wakes up not in his bed, but in a lavish back room of Club Fang, a den of hedonism and power run by a city's worth of anthropomorphic beasts. He's the only human in sight, an anomaly in a world of fur, scales, and feathers.
Mistaken for a new hire, he's given a simple job: be the personal assistant to the club's brooding, formidable owner, a wolfman named Fang. Kev finds himself navigating a world of intricate social rules and shadowy business deals, becoming a part-time therapist, full-time problem-solver, and the unlikely confidant to the club's dysfunctional family. From making breakfast for a hungover moose-man and teaching a stoic eagle security guard how to swim, to fending off the advances of a dangerously flirtatious tiger, Kev's days are anything but ordinary.

Summary
Enzo Leclerc Rattanavin, the golden heir of Bangkok’s elite, is used to getting what he wants. Handsome, spoiled, and restless, he’s the center of attention everywhere he goes — until a family scandal and a sudden arranged marriage with Kristen Wongsathorn threaten to cage him.
Running from duty and image, Enzo flees to Isla Viravadee, a secluded island of tranquil waters and quiet lives. There he meets Kawin Viparaveet — a strikingly handsome, soft-spoken islander who rarely talks, preferring silence to noise.
What Enzo doesn’t know: Kawin’s real name is Kawin Wongsathorn — the illegitimate son of Enzo’s father’s rival, abandoned as a child.
They begin as enemies — clashing in every way. But as they are forced to work together, Enzo’s chaos meets Kawin’s calm, and both begin to unravel and rebuild. Kawin teaches Enzo simplicity and sincerity; Enzo teaches Kawin how to use his voice — and his heart — again.
By the time the truth surfaces, love has already anchored too deep to undo.- Language:
