In 1984, Teresia lives on church property, does not believe in God, and makes the extremely poor decision to get involved with Charles Connors, the pastor’s son.
What starts as tension turns into secrecy, sex, jealousy, and the kind of love that gets harder to hide the deeper it goes. Unfortunately for both of them, they are surrounded by church people, gossip, family expectations, an ex who never fully went away, and a town that would love nothing more than to watch a girl like Teresia fall apart in public.

Summary
Castiel Allen is a social failure. But his grandmama, Lady Celeste Novak, is determined to establish him in society so that he can embark on a political career. After a spectacular disaster at the event of the Season, Lady Celeste decides to take charge.
“I know that you have many good qualities Castiel, but we are both aware that those good qualities seldom show themselves in company...”
Castiel is silent now, one scone still remaining untouched on his plate, his tea growing cold.
Celeste sits up a little straighter and smooths the silk skirts over her knees. “And so I have made a decision.” She pins Castiel with her gaze, like a collector might pin a butterfly. “I will select an omega bride for you.”
His gaze whips up from the hearthrug and his mouth falls open.
“You will marry,” she says, her jaw set firmly against any protestations. “ And then you can finally take up your place as my heir.”

Summary
The warm glow of street lanterns amidst the night sky provided a welcome distraction from the weighing ache in her muscles. Defeating Dottore was no easy task – as The Second of the Fatui Harbingers, he was bound to be a formidable adversary, though even she underestimated the toll it would take on her health.
Riding on the back of a merchant's wagon was a less than ideal way to travel, if not a little humiliating, but it beat walking the entire journey from Nod Krai to Liyue on foot...

Summary
Ziyu knows romance.
In theory.
In fiction.
In stories where people come with tags, feelings follow the right route, and the next scene always knows what it is supposed to be.
Real life is less helpful.
Real life has a divorced doctor, his stubborn daughter, a piano under probation, an audition page Ziyu keeps closing, and a kind of love that does not ask his body to prove anything.
Or: a divorced doctor, a chaotic music tutor, one stubborn child, a lot of rain, and an ace romance about learning that love does not have to follow the expected script.
🎶🌙⚡️🎹
Ace tag note: Ziyu is ace, but this isn’t a “no sex ever” story. They do go all the way eventually, just with a lot of talking, figuring things out, and being awkwardly earnest about it.

Summary
“Hadn’t you managed to become visible a while ago?”
“Yeah, I kinda can, but it takes a lot of energy for me to do that. It’s easier when Aoyama is around, too. But, you know,” her tone got teasing all of a sudden. “Some people find it more fun like this.”
“Fun like how-”

Summary
“Rozanov, Ilya-- can you hear me? Fuck! Are you okay?” He asked, frantic. There was so much blood, people were running towards them. He could hear phones being dialled, could feel the presence of others around them.
Ilya’s eyes were open, but it was as if he were looking past him, up towards the sky above. He coughed once and blood sputtered out, dribbling down his face "Mama." He said softly.

Since Shane was a young boy he has been able to rewind time. He had never done it for anything huge, just small things here and there.
Then Ilya Rozanov died in front of him.

“I know this doesn’t need saying,” Sylus said, “but I’ll say it anyway. If you want to stop, we stop. No questions. And I won’t take it personally. I won’t be upset.”
You blinked hard, swallowed the thickness in your throat. "I know," you whispered.
You squeezed your eyes shut, fisting the sheets, and chanted in your head: don’t stop him, don’t you dare stop him. The important thing was that you were with someone you loved. You repeated it like a fact. The important thing was that you were with someone you loved. The important thing was that you were with someone you loved. The important thing—

Summary
A scruffy man skulked down the streets of Hollywood, eyes red and hands in the pockets of his skunk-scented jacket. Bright streetlights and billboards flooded the night, sky a deep, empty blue with no star in sight—not that he noticed. His eyes were stuck firmly on his ratty shoes as he turned into an alley. He traced his typical path home from the tea pad he played jazz and smoked Mary Jane at, a pleasant fog over his mind as he weaved through the few-and-far-between empty pockets in Tinseltown.
That high was immediately shattered when a blinding blue light filled his vision. Hands went up to his squeezed-shut eyes, a groan escaping his mouth as he hunched in on himself.
“Fear not, human, and salutations! I, Dort, mean you no harm!” A muffled, masculine voice called out. The man dazedly looked up between his fingers, taking in the odd figure in front of him, cutting a sharp silhouette in the light. He—it—Dort stood in head-to-toe metal. The underpants, the mittens, the boots, the helmet, all tin. He pinched the skin of his forearm between his pointer and thumb, yet Dort kept talking. “Dort wishes to learn the ways of your people! Are you interested in assisting Dort in this possibly dangerous mission?”
