    Summary

    Garbage bag slung over his shoulder, Joonghyuk gives the mysterious alpha next door what he hopes is a commiserating look, but he’s not actually sure if his facial muscles allowed it to get across. “Fourth unscheduled rut this year, huh,” he says as he makes his way to the stairwell. “Happens.”

    Or: Yoo Joonghyuk considers himself to be a fairly well-adjusted alpha adult… most of the time. Growing up in a large family full of fellow alphas, he didn’t really have a choice; it was either suck up, shut up, or fuck off. However, his too-quiet next-door neighbor with the late sexual awakening and very obviously repressed mating sickness may yet prove to be the perfect catalyst for Joonghyuk to blow up his life after all at the ripe old age of 25.

    Summary

    “He’s not even a real doctor,” Yoo Joonghyuk says darkly.
    “He runs this entire hospital,” Jung Heewon replies.
    “With spreadsheets,” Joonghyuk growls.

    Kim Dokja is the new Chief Executive of Clinical Operations—an admin god with a caffeine addiction, a death wish, and the impossible task of fixing a hospital that’s one lawsuit away from imploding.

    Yoo Joonghyuk is the trauma surgeon whose last relationship was with a vending machine and he hasn’t taken a day off in four years and thinks feelings are a communicable disease.

    Together they are emotionally stunted, clinically exhausted, and locked in an escalating war of sarcastic schedule edits, administrative triage, and entirely unprofessional eye contact.

    Featuring:

    1. Passive-aggressive memos
    2. A very dramatic... (I can't tell you this, can I?)
    3. And a slowburn (It's not a slowburn, just emotionally constipated men)

    An unexpected start with a very solid concept that allows it to be a continuation of canon. The writing in this is absolutely solid & a but painful & I'm honestly impressed at times. I don't know that the resolution was completely satisfying to me, but it was well worth the read.

    Summary

    Kim Dokja, an overworked corporate drone, finds himself mysteriously transported into the world of a trashy BL webnovel called Marked by the Boss. In this new reality, he’s no longer just Kim Dokja—he’s KD, a two-faced beta and right-hand man to Yoo Joonghyuk, the cold, brooding alpha leader of the Dokkaebi gang. A side character!

    Dokja struggles to reconcile his old life with his new one, especially since KD’s memories are fragmented and unreliable. As Dokja navigates this dangerous world of gang politics, omegaverse dynamics, and his own precarious position, he tries to figure out how to survive—and possibly escape. Along the way, he interacts with colorful characters like Lee Hyunsung, a kind-hearted beta bodyguard, and Kim Namwoon, a flashy teenager who seems to idolize him.

    But when will he have time to read his webnovels?

    Bookmarker's Notes

    In many ways this is a worse timeline? I don't think I was fully pissed off until I realized the extent to which WWX was to be sidelined until (darkest timeline) LXC POVs. The Lan backstory in this is blatantly tragic & informs their, well-intentioned, but f-cked up decisions. WWX takes a lot, LWJ signs up for it & LZC finally gets sick of it & then makes a worse version of his canon mistake. JC also gets a sad backstory & Meng Yao seems sus, especially with the staste of his first born but all we get there is tragedy.

    The setup for the next gen is also somewhat infuriating because it's a lot of youths being obstinate & we have no character that's not in someway negotiating some messed up element of the system in a comfortable way, which feels like a slow car crash. I think it's the one that really made me realize that part of the reason why it feels so oppressive is because it runs thematically opposite to canon. WWX is so OOC & you don't get him being particularly brilliant, clever with people, or even willing to actively buck the status quo, which means that he's not really someone who can defy any of the odds in ways he does in canon. The most we get is LXC, who does love like a Lan, but because so much of his personality is still tied up to meeting expectations, he mostly just screws things up.
    A good ride but not something I'm eager to revisit.

    Summary

    Lan Sizhui did not wish for his father to be bound by eternal mourning— no, such a desire would be both horrendously selfish and terribly unfilial. Yet, he had never once conceived of his father's grief as something with an end, something that could be cast aside. The very notion of his mother's memory fading away, left only to the bad-mouther's and the tides of time, was unthinkable.

    Where, then, had those years gone? The years in which his precious ā-die had taught him to play inquiry, the music reverberating within the Jingshi as they called upon a spirit so deeply cherished they could not bear to remain silent?

    To cease mourning was one matter; an understandable one, perhaps, though still difficult to stomach. But to bring another omega into the household, to allow someone else to occupy the space reserved only to his father’s rightful spouse— to Lan Sizhui’s niáng-qīn? That, he could not tolerate.

    Upon the honor of his mother’s undying soul, Lan Sizhui swore it: his father would not take a second wife. He would simply not allow such a shameless transgression!

    He was not getting a stepmother! Not in this life!

    Summary

    The grief of it sometimes eats him alive.

    Wei Wuxian would never admit it to anyone but Wen Qing— which is just as well, since she was the one who carved out his Golden Core with steady hands and placed it where it would do the most good. For his brother to gain a life, in exchange for his own.

    And yet, he is alive, and the mourning lingers.

    Perhaps that’s why, after months of research and half-baked theories, Wei Wuxian finds it quite convenient that the most viable way to rebuild his Golden Core comes down to this:

    “Oh, heavens,” Wen Qing mutters, pressing her fingers to her temples. "We need a man.”

    Or

    To the Esteemed Sects of the Cultivation World,

    The Yunmeng Jiang Sect, on behalf of our beloved brother Wei Wuxian, issues a most sincere request: a suitable husband, possessing an impeccable Golden Core, abundant Yang energy, and exceptional cultivation prowess, as to aid in his restoration to the righteous path of the sword.

    Lotus Pier will open its gates on the first day of Mèngchūn to welcome any honorable Young Master willing to answer this call. Your presence would be met with the utmost gratitude.

    With warm regards,

    Yunmeng Jiang Sect.

    Summary

    It took Shen Yuan a full week to realize he'd transmigrated into PIDW.

    In his defense, he'd woken up to a sky filled with blood rain, raging walls of hellfire, and a shadowy thing trying to take a bite out of his leg. He'd had to hit the ground running (literally, because that shadow thing had been hungry and fast) and hadn't had much time to take in his surroundings.

    Luckily he was fast in this life. His strange new set of goat-like legs seemed to help with that.

    In which Shen Yuan transmigrates as an incubus, and everyone realizes it but him.

    Summary

    Shen Qingqiu has a bare moment of dismayed comprehension before Luo Binghe is moving again, releasing his hold on Xiu Ya only so that he can swirl around Shen Qingqiu in a blindingly fast movement, getting behind Shen Qingqiu and using his now-free right arm to pin Shen Qingqiu against him, Shen Qingqiu’s back to his chest.

    “Caught you, Shizun,” Luo Binghe says in Shen Qingqiu’s ear, and then he tips them backward through the portal.

    Two years after the Immortal Alliance Conference, Luo Binghe reappears in the Human Realm—directly on Qing Jing Peak, in order to kidnap Shen Qingqiu to the Demon Realm. Little does Shen Qingqiu know, this isn’t the right Luo Binghe.

    The Original Luo Binghe has finally, after years of searching, found a kind Shizun of his own to kidnap and keep in his own universe—and this time, no one is going to take Shizun from him.

    Gonna have to check in with this one eventually for the sequel.
    This one crept up on me while I was looking for smut & won me over but it's anxiety inducing. Binghe is so unhinged- focused & obsessive to the point he's unwell- & the circumstances are dubious to the point that or MC has a completely different perception of what's happening than is actually happening. Waiting for the fallout is making me nervous but the writing is great & there's some excellent metaphysical world building as well.

    Summary

    Madara didn’t want peace. It was only out of ridiculous sentiment for bygone times as to why he agreed to enter peace negotiations with the Senju. His former childhood friend, Senju Hashirama, has practically begged him to do so. It was never his intention to actually go through with it all.

    That Hashirama had an Omega brother was something he would’ve never anticipated, but it changed everything. After all, every proper Alpha needed an Omega. So maybe there could be peace. For a price, of course.

    After a serious and devastating attack, the Uchiha are in desperate need of a sealmaster. Unfortunately for them, the best candidate happens to be from the Senju clan. Fortunately for them, he doesn't seem all that inclined to act like an enemy.

    Which is lucky because, as it turns out, there are plenty of other adversaries making moves in Fire Country - both the clans will need to make new friends to survive.

    Madara would have been content if his new husband tolerated him and helped his clan stay safe. He doesn't quite know what to do with the fact that his husband doesn't stop there.

    A stay up all night, absolutely perfect kind of read. One of my favorite tropes with a very well-developed plot- there's a true desperation in the decisions made it all works out, with the Senju being portrayed, for once, in a super positive light.

    Summary

    It's been three days since Wei Wuxian last ate.

    "Hungry," A-Yuan whines, pulling at his hand. Wei Wuxian tries to focus on the vegetable display in front of him. He's got 10 credits left on the last safe account he's got access to. Half a kilo of wilted vegetables, the cheapest thing in the store, costs 15.

    The potatoes are sprouted. Half of Wei Wuxian's sluggish mind wonders if that means he can bargain down the prize, while the other half is screaming that something is very wrong. They have been planet-side for around 36 hours and so far nothing adds up.
    Blinking slowly, Wei Wuxian stares at the potatoes. The green sprouts seem to taunt him.
    Suddenly he remembers that Shanxu, the planet they are supposed to be on, has a current ban on potatoes, due to some aggressive and rapidly mutating form of crop blight.

    "Fuck," Wei Wuxian hisses.

    Where the are they? What planet is this!?
    -
    -
    -
    Lan Wangji looks back at him for an endless moment, face unreadable.

    Wei Wuxian swallows and exhales shakily. Lan Wangji is acting very collected for someone who just spotted a ghost. Shit. If Wei Wuxian survives this, he is going to have to fake his own death again.
