Summary
Everything happens in a whirlwind of sensation.
Jayce feels as though his body is alight with celestial fire, torn apart in all ways but emotional, sinew shredding down to shards of bone only to be rebuilt anew in a matter of singular moments. Painful and painless all at once. Bursts of kaleidoscopic light are ablaze before his eyes, fragments of past lives on a feedback loop of murmuring static. The Rune – Acceleration – grasped in his hand, Viktor’s hand, held joint between their palms; they’re intertwined now, bound together by the fates in ways he’d only ever read about. The air crackles with static, the murmur growing in a fever-pitch, the words of his past bleeding together until they become a passionate scream that drowns out all but the feeling of Viktor’s hand clutched securely in his own. It feels like his head is about to split open.
‘Please’, he thinks desperately, ‘give us a second chance’.
He opens his mouth, ready to choke on Viktor’s name as they’re scattered among the cosmos.
Or: Viktor and Jayce start anew.

Summary
Hawkeye gestured vaguely, defeated, and pushed his hair back. It was significantly silvered. Half a year home, and he still wore the war obviously: grey hair, defensive slouch, the sort of taut thinness that suggested illness or endurance sport. He looked like a person who couldn’t get comfortable. BJ wanted him comfortable with an intensity that ached.
__Wrung out and worse for wear, Hawkeye can't enjoy himself the way he used to. BJ does his best to help him recover his enthusiasm. In the process they find new ways to appreciate each other alongside more corporeal pleasures: sleeping, sex, and of course good food.

Summary
After the death of his beloved sister Jiang Yanli, Jiang Cheng embarks on a career as a food critic, unconsciously trying to find in the dishes he tastes that flavor that only she could give. His severity and fame spread quickly throughout China, making him a respected and feared figure in haute cuisine. But despite his reputation, Jiang Cheng is never satisfied: every dish he reviews seems to lack that special ingredient that his sister infused into her meals, a quality he can never replicate. "Can a dish bring back what has been lost?" this search pushes him further and further away from the home he once knew.
Lan Xichen, a talented chef and owner of a Michelin-starred restaurant in Suzhou, is renowned for his elegant, minimalist cuisine, transforming traditional Chinese flavors into modern works of art. Despite success and fame, Lan Xichen asks himself: "How much of ourselves can we put on a plate to make ourselves understood?". His cuisine is an expression of himself, but it doesn't always find the recognition he seeks, especially from critics like Jiang Cheng.
Their meeting becomes a mutual challenge, where each tries to answer the other question: can a dish truly express what it carries inside?

Summary
“Do you want it?”
Sana blinked, caught in the act, and heat flooded her cheeks. She clutched the box of mochi and the pot of flowers tighter, her voice barely audible. “Excuse me?”
“The peonies,” the woman clarified, gesturing to the sketchbook with a lazy flick of her fingers. Her smile was faint but devastating. “It’d look gorgeous on your lower back. Isn’t that why you’re here? For a tattoo?” Oh.
Or
One day, Sana notices the empty shop across from her patisserie isn’t empty anymore. Instead, it’s home to a dark tattoo parlor; and its bold, captivating owner, Jihyo, starts to unravel Sana’s guarded heart.

Summary
He didn’t even remember falling asleep. What had he been doing? Tim furiously scrubbed a hand over his eyes, willing the fog clinging to his senses to dissipate.
“I’m sorry, Dad, I was just–” Tim turned, and promptly cut himself off. Oh, he thought, not Dad.
—
Five times Tim woke up and thought of his parents, and one time he fell asleep knowing he was home.

Summary
When Tim walked in, Jason was sitting in a chair across from the doorway, legs spread, arms crossed. He had his Red Hood gear on—an outfit Tim flinched at no matter the occasion—hell, half the time he flinched whenever he saw the colour red.
In front of him was the coffee table covered in knives and guns and whatever other sharp or shiny toys Jason could get his hands on.
Wisely, Tim stopped in the doorway. “Were you…expecting someone?”
Jason smiled behind his mask. “You can close the door behind you.”
- - -
Jason scares off Tim because he refuses to mind his business.
And Tim's a bit too good at hiding when he doesn't want to be seen.
This worries Jason more than he thought it would. -

Chu Wanning looks at him.
With all the earnesty in his heart, Mo Ran says, “I want to win. I want to make you proud and I’ll do anything you say. I’ll learn to fight. So please, please give me a chance. Don’t assume just I can’t.”
“I never said–” Chu Wanning’s finger twitches against his cup. When he sets it down the clink of ceramic on wood is easily heard. “I’m not a kind mentor.”

Summary
This is it. Senior year. Year thirteen. Charlie’s almost out, he’s going to lift his grades, spend time with his friends, and then leave Truham far, far behind him.
One caveat: Truham’s “seniority program” means that he will be paired with an upper classman from last year’s graduating class. The better to prepare for college, etc. etc…but his partner is the ex-captain of the rugby team, possibly the laddest lad the school could possibly think of to pair with the outed gay kid.
But there’s something quite a bit different about Nicholas Nelson.
