    Summary

    Fumbling waitress by day, struggling camgirl by night, Yor Briar's doing all she can to pay her bills and fund her younger brother's college education. When she's fired from her dayjob, she scrambles to find a replacement—even if it means being the overworked, over-stressed assistant to Westalis's most popular idol: Twilight.

    But beneath the golden crown and killer smile of ED/EN's beloved pop culture icon is Loid Forger, compulsive perfectionist-control freak with an arsenal of bad coping mechanisms. His neuroticism is what keeps him at the top—but also what sends every assistant running teary-eyed in the opposite direction. So when Loid's manager tells him they've hired yet another PA for him, the last thing he expects is some weirdo. And why does she look so familiar?

    Yor knows this job is temporary. She knows she'll be fired from this one like every one before, and she knows her best shot at stability is turning her failing night job into the cash cow it could be—and Twilight might just be the key.

    Summary

    An actual shiver shook the girl at his voice, like she physically couldn't contain her disgust. Jinshi felt his cheeks heat in excitement at the delightful reaction. She seemed determined not to engage him again, eyes firmly fixed on her book.

    Jinshi was itching to distract her, to tease her, to make her look at him again.

    But before he could think of the best way to do this, the door flew open.

    Summary

    She watches Fern blush. Watches Stark fluster.
    It's happened often enough that Frieren has started to wonder, what it is that makes humans respond like that.

    Frieren never flinched when Himmel touched her.
    Not during the journey. Not after. Not ever.

    But now, in the stillness of sleep, in the hush of memories and dreams...

    She wonders if she left behind more than she thought.

    Or if he left something in her that’s only just begun to breathe.

    Summary

    "For you, I will remove every obstacle that keeps us apart. One day. Just know that. I won't let what you fear come to pass. I swear it."

    Jinshi was in serious trouble now. With the Emperor’s children continuing to grow sick and die, he’s not sure where to go from here. The doctors were at a complete loss, and it seems that the chains of his future tighten with each passing day. At least until a young apothecary girl with sharp blue eyes, a splattering of freckles, and was as blunt as a hammer comes into his life. Despite having everything handed to him on a silver platter, Jinshi had lived a lonely and dull life where he learned to hide his true face behind a façade he presents to the court… until he meets Maomao.

    For the first time, someone sees past his mask to his true self and she fills his world with color. Jinshi's feelings for Maomao evolve from initial curiosity and amusement to deep affection and romantic interest until he realized he cannot live without her.

    This is going to be a retelling of the Apothecary Diaries only they’re told from Jinshi's POV, based on both the anime and light novels. (Season 1-2 of the anime, Light Novels 1-4)

    But just what this will entailed was lost to all but the new object of his attention.

    Summary

    "An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place, or circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle, but it will never break."

    The Maomao that had read those fated words was just a child—naive and sharp-eyed but so full of heart. The Maomao that read it had clumsy hands and chipped teeth, yard-tanned skin and endless questions. She hadn't the faintest clue of destiny's cruel design, and it would be cruel. There would be hate and horror and humorless irony in every turn, but that young Maomao grinned and relaxed down into the sunbaked grass with a crude legends children's book beside her. If her destiny was already set, it didn't matter what she did.

    Summary

    “Who are you?”

    Loid met her gaze. Yor wondered what her face was doing, that he was taking so long to answer. “To you, I am Loid Forger.” Why did that hurt more than if he’d struck her? “And to Anya,” he said, some gentleness finally coming into his voice, “I am Loid Forger. Her father. And you are her mother.” Yor stared at him, now certain her devastation was plain on her face.

     

    When Yor learns of a plot to kidnap Anya, she returns home to find Loid handling a gun with expert skill, and Anya already taken. In rallying around Anya after that earth-shattering day, Yor and Twilight face a time of uncertainty where choices are made, long-kept secrets are shared, and precarious trust becomes unassailable intimacy.

    Summary

    Gojo Satoru is a famed sorcerer, the strongest in centuries, but he chooses to live his life as a common witch pedaling trinkets and potions. He's fascinated by human society, and prefers to do as he pleases, ignoring the rules the kingdom placed down on the land pertaining to what kind of magic is and isn't allowed.

    His only moral compass is his familiar, a black cat that has been at his side since he was a kid.

    His familiar, Utahime is not too keen on how he runs his business, and has slowly been losing patience with him over the years.

    After one argument too many, a can of worms opens up that throws their peaceful lifestyle completely upside-down, shoving them both down a path that they can barely traverse on their own.

    Summary

    What if Ken decided to go to the haunted tunnel a day before meeting Momo to try and witness paranormal activity?

    What if he didn't run and instead froze up?

    And what if, instead of stealing his manhood, Turbo Granny decided to steal his humanity?

     

    Ken is a monster… but he's Momo's monster. A twisted mix of something vampire and yokai. And his curse? It'll take every single piece of his vowed phrase both literally and figuratively. His body and aura are unstable, and only she can hold him together. He falls hard, his love for her fueling his chaotic instincts, but he'll be damned if he ever hurts her. He'd do anything for her.

    Momo doesn't want Okarun to give up. She can see it, he's still more human than other people in the world. She… she appreciates that about him, so deeply… she wants him to realize that for himself, but she knows she can't ignore the fact that he's forced into this role, his being a yokai vampire, forced to feed off of her, forced to feel things about her… she wants nothing more than to help him, to free him. To… to be his friend. She'd do anything for him.

    They're soulmates, after all.

    Summary

    “So. You’re a real witch, aren’t you?” His eyes glittered as they roamed her face, before curiously scanning the counter and back wall behind her. “Where’s your hat?”

    “Witches don’t have to wear hats. It’s not the eighteenth century anymore.” She took a small step backward, softly bumping against a shelf. Dangling charms twinkled together at the movement. Why did she always get the weirdos just before closing?

    “Oh,” he sniffed, frowning. “I would have liked the hat.”

    -----

    Utahime Iori, the owner of Iori Witchcraft, lived a normally calm and quiet life as the local witch for the little town she resides in.

    As she unravels his story, Utahime struggles to navigate her growing feelings for the man, and struggles to keep her life and the town she loves safe.

    Summary

    There's an odd girl at the back of the throng.

    To the casual eye, she looks completely average. She wears the same soft cream and dull yellow uniform of the other girls around her. She is small and slight, and her cheeks are dotted with freckles. Among the other palace girls surrounding her, she blends in perfectly. She could be any girl from any far-flung village of Li.

    But her eyes—they are what catch his attention. They are what draw him in.

    Or: Snapshots of Jinshi and Maomao, throughout the years--of their scars, their mistakes, and a little red string that endures through it all. An exploration of love, fate, and the choices we make, told in twenty-six parts.
