    Summary

    "I think I want to kiss you," she whispers.

    Loid takes a sharp inhale, mesmerized by her sparkling wine eyes burning a hole in his bottom lip.

    "Is that normal," she breathes, barely audible.

    "That's normal," Loid assures back. It's not. Nothing about this, about them, is normal.

    Yor nods, the tiniest movement of her head, eyes never leaving his lips. "Does it ever go away?" she asks, innocently. Like this could be an illness, a temporary affliction that will pass out of her system.

    Loid exhales slowly. "God I hope not."

    Or, in this alternate universe, Twilight and Thorn Princess meet long before Loid and Yor. Circumstances around them shape their lives in ways they never expected.

    Summary

    “He’s seen your face. We can’t afford for him to live.”

    “He’s an essential part of Operation Strix. He dies, Yor will…she’ll leave. The cover will fall apart.” Even to his own ears, his rationale had broken down.

    -----

    In the sewers of Shellbury, Twilight miscalculates. With the fate of Loid Forger's brother-in-law hanging in the balance, WISE's top agent and his cover wife, the deadliest assassin in Ostania, now face grave perils and impossible choices like none they have ever had to endure before.

    Summary

    Ranpo spends his whole life feeling out of place and misunderstood. He struggles to feel like he belongs until one awkward tall man stumbles into his life and changes it forever. It would be perfect if the man wasn't stuck in a cycle of perpetual self-loathing and therefor otherwise incapable of acknowledging any strong emotion. Ranpo is really screwed. He shouldn't have fallen for such a ridiculous person. It's okay though because Ranpo is the world's greatest detective and getting Edgar Allan Poe to admit he's worthy of love should be child's play. Shouldn't it?

    Or

    Ranpo's strategic flirting in an attempt to get the oblivious and paranoid Edgar Allan Poe to both trust him and admit his feelings.

    Summary

    Armin feels his face twist into a snarl briefly, but when he looks at Eren, his eyes catch on his and Mikasa’s tangled hands. Hers are squirming under his grip, and then pull against her stomach in a gesture that makes Armin dizzy for a moment. He sees again that line of red, but—it’s not blood. 
     
    When he sees what it actually is, he almost wishes it was. 
     
    “‘M fine,” Mikasa says. Her breath is coming too fast, too shallow. “Just—cold…”

     

    Eren’s eyes shine with wonder, locked on their joint hands and what’s below them; the red spilling out from the gaps in her buttons.

     

    That is not right, Armin thinks, gut churning. That shouldn’t be happening.
     
    But at the same time, isn’t that just the same old story?

    ***

    Eren lives, and what comes after.

    ***
