Summary
College student Wooyoung never expected a night out to change his life—but when he dances at the underground club ECLIPSE, he catches the attention of its enigmatic owner, San. From the VIP box, San watches him move with a raw, fearless energy that no one else has ever possessed. One stolen glance is enough to pull them into a dangerous, magnetic orbit, where slow-burning tension collides with intense desire. On the dance floor, every teasing look and fleeting touch blurs the line between power, passion, and obsession, and Wooyoung soon learns that being seen by San comes with consequences he’s not sure he’s ready for.

Summary
“Don’t worry about it,” Ronan said as he tentatively reached out to place his hand over Jasper’s resting on the table, “From what I’ve seen so far you seem to have turned out fine without him. He missed out by leaving.”
Jasper felt his heart skip another beat as he looked deep into Ronan’s beautiful hazel eyes; they reminded Jasper of a forest in the rain, radiating golden warmth and soft mossy trees. As they held eye contact the colour of his eyes shifted from an earthy brown to a mesmerizing vibrant green as the tingling warmth from Ronan’s hand over Jasper’s spread up through his arm to settle in his chest.
Gods I hope this guy doesn’t turn out to be an asshole.
He almost seems too good to be true.*****
This story is more of a romance and relationship/friendship centered murder mystery story, but is focused on the relationships mostly.
Pretty much all the characters are queer or gender fluid and supportive.
This is also my first post ever here on Ao3, or anywhere.

Summary
Just a slow burn Bartender AU
Carol Sturka is a sad (possibly pathetic), usually drunk, grumpy 53 year old author. She spends 4-7 days a week hanging out at the local lesbian bar ‘The Hunnycomb’. Where she flirts, drinks and crushes hard… on the Bartender.
Zosia Wydra is that bartender. A ex model that is all smiles, hopelessly in love with Carol, and absolutely terrified of loosing a friendship. To make matters worse, she promised her best friend (Koumba) that she’d bring Carol as her date, but problem is… they aren’t together… yet.
Can they get their act together and finally go after what they want? Or will Carol’s insecurities from her past get in her way? Will Zosia finally takes what she wants?

Summary
“At least I don't stomp around with a bad attitude and a shitty hat! Maybe you're right Craig, maybe your training is perfect - but you distract people with how nasty you are and how ridiculous you look in that thing! What are you, ten years old?!”.
“Leave my hat out of this! I wear it for a practical reason - it keeps my ears warm!”.
“Ooh, cold ears! Now there's a tragedy if I ever saw one!”, Tweek retorted sarcastically.
The Oxford Comma is a bar on the main strip in Denver that entices people inside with bright lights that mesmerize and illuminate stained glass windows. But young bartender Craig Tucker contrasts warm and inviting. He’s nonchalant at best but well-known to cantankerous, sardonic and well - just plain RUDE.
There’s a reason the bar goes through employees almost as fast as he changes his own underwear - Craig does NOT play nice with others. He doesn’t just keep his cards close to his chest, he keeps them buried six feet under.
But one blistering cold December night a lost looking blonde stranger enters the bar and successfully acquires a job working alongside Craig
How do Tweek and Craig go from Strangers to Enemies to Friends to Lovers?!

Summary
Being in a rowdy friend group is nice. They spend the weekends in the little hole in the wall bar and they mess around with one another. Kaiser annoys the hell out of Isagi (Not unusual), Reo has a friend (even less surprising), she's genuinely pulchritudinous and wants to meet everyone (very strange?!). While that sweeps the friend group by surprise Isagi also notices that Kunigami is such a great man, a kind person who is strong, and- maybe Isagi shouldn't be thinking about his friend like that.
What happens when Isagi notices Kunigami and Chigiri hit it off, and what does he do about the fact Bachira seems insistent about him getting in on that action?

Summary
Drink prepared and with a coaster already underneath it, Mira looked across the bar in confusion. It didn't take that long for Rumi to walk from the entrance to the bar, but perhaps she had taken a trip to the restroom.
While she waited, Mira let her eyes skim across the dancers on the floor, desensitized to all the drunk grinding going on, before settling on Zoey's booth. Her body tensed as she felt her heart drop to the bottom of her stomach.
Standing next to the DJ, heads bent close to hear each other over the music and crowd, was Rumi. They stood close together, rather typical for people conversing on the dance floor where it was crowded, but unusual when Zoey's setup gave her plenty of space. But, as her eyes narrowed in on the way Zoey's hand rested on Rumi's hip was anything to go by, it was a familiar sort of intimacy between the two.
It just had to be.
In all the months that Zoey was working there, Mira had never once seen her flirt or get handsy with patrons. Just with her, and now Rumi.
Right. Of course it was too good to be true.
