    Summary

    What if, when Petunia Dursley found a little boy on her front doorstep, she took him in? Not into the cupboard under the stairs, not into a twisted childhood of tarnished worth and neglect—what if she took him in?

    Petunia was jealous, selfish and vicious. We will not pretend she wasn’t. She looked at that boy on her doorstep and thought about her Dudders, barely a month older than this boy. She looked at his eyes and her stomach turned over and over. (Severus Snape saved Harry’s life for his eyes. Let’s have Petunia save it despite them).

    Let’s tell a story where Petunia Dursley found a baby boy on her doorstep and hated his eyes—she hated them. She took him in and fed him and changed him and got him his shots, and she hated his eyes up until the day she looked at the boy and saw her nephew, not her sister’s shadow. When Harry was two and Vernon Dursley bought Dudley a toy car and Harry a fast food meal with a toy with parts he could choke on Petunia packed her things and got a divorce.

    Summary

    Euijoo meets Nicholas in a bar on Manhattan Beach Pier during the 2021 International Surf Festival. Nicholas is lean, blonde, bounces off the walls and laughs loud. His voice is deeper than it should be and he’s got little to no game, but Euijoo sticks around anyway. Nicholas is built and he’s hot, his shirt tight across his shoulders, his hair wild around his ears. He’s bright like sunshine and his lips are sinful when they wrap around the neck of a beer bottle or the rim of a glass of coke.

    Nicholas doesn’t live too far from the pier; they walk side by side on the beach, talking about LA. Euijoo’s accent seems to stick to the roof of his mouth, and he pushes his hands in the pockets of his boardshorts to keep himself from reaching out, feeling Nicholas’s pulse at his wrist, seeing if it beats as fast as he talks. Nicholas takes his sandals off, toes digging in the sand.

    Nicholas says, suddenly, cutting through the random topics they’re fleeting on, “I don’t really do this,” which seems like a lie until he adds, “With guys, I mean.”

    To love is to change. Euijoo and Nicholas change each other, over the course of 5 summers.

    Summary

    Traditional belief dictated that there is a vein that runs directly from the fourth finger on the left hand up the elbow, into the shoulder, and down to the heart. A single, undisturbed connection. The vein was given the Latin name Vena amoris or, directly translated, the ‘vein of love’. The supposed existence of this vein is cited as the reason why many Western cultures wear their engagement and wedding rings on that fourth finger on the left hand—the ring finger.

    or: Hanbin is the world’s most romantic wedding planner and he’s damn good at his job—because what better way to celebrate love than to throw a lavish party for it? Hao is the world’s most cynical best man and he’s only tagging along to Gyuvin and Ricky’s wedding planning for one reason: to ensure the wedding doesn’t happen at all.

    Summary

    “You’ve been dating for a year and a half,” Jiwoong says, “What do you mean not that serious?”

    “Ah…” Zhang Hao starts and then stops himself.

    There’s no excuse he can give them that will make them understand, not unless he admits this whole relationship is a sham.

    Zhang Hao never meant for his small white lie about having a boyfriend to spiral so far out of control. Hiring Hanbin to play the part was supposed to be a simple transaction, but with every fake date they go on, the line between pretend and something real begins to blur.

    Summary

    Mark doesn’t remember the story in the morning. He remembers Donghyuck’s hand against his heart, patting him gently – once, twice, thrice. He remembers having his eyes closed as Donghyuck pressed his lips to Mark’s forehead. He remembers the last thought in his head before he drifted off into the warm arms of sleep – that the familiarity is no longer enough.
