    Summary

    Shinonome Academy: one loose tie ignites a quiet, vicious war. Every pleat stays fucking perfect or someone pays.
    Hinode Shinonome rules as president—legacy heavy as armor she can’t take off, control the only ground that never crumbled after everything else did. Order isn’t a preference; it’s the only thing keeping her from falling apart again.
    Satsuki Soto arrives as vice president, already circling the disciplinary throne: tie loosened deliberately, just enough to draw blood without breaking skin. Love is a scam that turns people stupid—yet she can’t stop pressing on Hinode’s iron facade, hunting for the first real fracture, the first proof she’s wrong.
    Deadpan barbs mask the pull. Touches linger under the guise of “corrections.” Jealousy wears the mask of uniform violations. Rivalry stops feeling like competition and starts feeling like the only honest thing either of them has left.
    Hyper-competent girls, spectacularly stupid about the heat building under all that restraint. Slow-burn yuri: sharp, tense, possessive edges sharpening in silence.
    (Think Citrus Mei Aihara meets Watanare Satsuki Koto, but gayer, heavier, more inevitable. I’m not sorry.)

    Summary

    Clint Barton buried a secret for nine years. Now the secret is out, and the collision between his personal life and his professional one is loud, public, and impossible to contain.

    Hermione Granger is not fragile, not reckless, and not interested in belonging to anything that feels entitled to her. She’s survived wars, saved cities, and stayed invisible by design. Until now.

    Natasha Romanoff recognises danger when she sees it, and she recognises her soulmate even faster. What she doesn’t expect is how much power comes wrapped in calm competence, or how fiercely Clint will protect the one person who can unravel him completely.

    All three must confront what love looks like in a world that punishes anything it can’t control.

    Summary

    When a failed raid leaves Captain Ilya Rozanov empty handed, he decides to take a far more promising treasure; Shane Hollander, crown prince and the Queen’s only son. He’s taken aboard the ship as ransom, meant to be nothing more than leverage for the negotiation.
    However, as the days at sea stretch on, the lines between Shane being a captive of the captain and something else entirely blur. The closer the exchange comes, the harder it becomes for them to stay in their roles. The noose around their necks gradually tightens, and soon they have to navigate between love and duty.

    Summary

    After the war, Hermione Granger keeps the world’s memories safe. Then the Archive starts remembering her back.

    Buried under the Ministry, the Archive is a sentient vault of magical memory, and Hermione is its Head Archivist. When memories vanish, dates slip, and people begin to unravel, the Ministry brings in an outside consultant: Draco Malfoy. Reformed. Brilliant. Infuriatingly composed. He doesn’t belong in her careful world of ledgers and ghosts—except the Archive behaves differently when he’s in the room. Corridors shift. Bells miscount. Their magic answers like it’s done this before.

    What begins as a tense partnership becomes an investigation into missing memories, edited wars, and a bond neither of them remember choosing. The Archive isn’t just reacting to the world. It’s reacting to them.

    This is a slow-burn gothic Dramione about a living Archive, a powerful Hermione, a morally grey Draco, and magic that behaves like infrastructure and myth. Expect: sentient architecture, memory horror, competence kink, found family, institutional rot, and a romance braided tightly with haunting and time-weirdness.

    The war is over. The story isn’t.
    And the Archive always takes something in return.

    Summary

    — Это всё... как какой-то кошмар, — озвучил свою мысль Айронхайд.

    — Нет, — тихо, но твердо ответил ему Циклонус. — Пока ещё нет. Но то, что нас ожидает - именно так и можно охарактеризовать.

    Summary

    “Seven interlocking links,” Shane said.

    “And where?” Ilya spun his stool closer.

    Shane hesitated. “Ribcage. On the side. Left.”

    Ilya reached for a clipboard, scribbling something quick. “You know that means you’ll need to take your shirt off.”

    Shane gets his first tattoo for reasons that are meticulously thought out, and not about the dangerously attractive tattoo artist with a Russian accent and zero respect for personal space.

    Or: Shane Hollander walks into a tattoo shop for ink and leaves with what is almost certainly a date.

    Summary

    Dead bodies don't lie. People do.

    Maomao is a forensic analyst who trusts evidence more than instincts and prefers to work alone—until a series of deaths ruled accidental refuses to behave like coincidence. The case comes with a complication: Jinshi, a detective with too much polish, too many connections, and an inconvenient habit of paying attention.

    What begins as a professional necessity becomes an evolving hypothesis—shared late nights, careful collaboration, and trust built one conclusion at a time. *AU*

    Summary

    "No charm," Max repeated, as if clarifying a posted sign. "No performances."

    Charles's tone shifted — still polite, suddenly exact. "You're used to sincerity that plays well. Here it has to hold up when no one's watching."

    Oscar Piastri is a specialist in structural failure. In London, he built a reputation by finding the rot behind beautiful finishes and liquidating relationships before the first crack showed.

    But Shetland in November doesn't care about his London "finish".

    Sent to Malakoff Slipway to profile Lando Norris — the genius behind a catastrophic, lawyered-up test crash — Oscar finds a man who has traded headlines for grease-stained hands and silence. To get the truth, Oscar must follow the rules of the Sentinels: keep his camera boxed, his hands visible, and his heart rate metered.

    In a village that functions like a human shield, Oscar will have to learn that some structures are meant to move — and that a "bruised hull" is sometimes the only thing strong enough to hold.

    Summary

    You're a third-year Business Course student at U.A. with a hair-manipulation quirk—perfect for multitasking through paperwork, terrible for hiding your emotions when every strand reflects what you're feeling.

    When you land an internship at Fatgum's hero agency in Osaka, you find exactly what you expected: eight years of financial chaos, unfiled taxes, and a desperate need for someone who actually understands business management.

    What you didn't expect? Four men, four very different connections, and feelings that are a lot harder to manage than any spreadsheet.

    Tamaki Amajiki (Suneater) – Your three-year crush who's been running away from you since first year. Will persistence and proximity finally break through his walls?

    Kirishima Eijirou (Red Riot) – The earnest work-study student who got you this internship. When does a supportive friendship become something more?

    Taishiro Toyomitsu (Fatgum) – Your boss. Warm, protective, and everything feels natural with him. Can genuine feelings overcome professional boundaries?

    Neito Monoma – Your ambitious friend who's always has your back. He knows he wants you by his side —professionally, and maybe personally too.

    Summary

    Voldemort knows not the power of love?
    Seriously, Albus... One might read minds and still suck at reading people.

    Tom Riddle had the time of his life becoming Voldemort.
    His road — from the intense, multi-talented teen we all love to the unforgiving Dark Lord they all fear — was paved with a god complex, good intentions and the inconvenient mistake of falling in love with a Muggle (though he would never admit it).

    It's not crack, but it does get funny in places because, believe it or not, the Dark Lord has a sense of humour — albeit a dark one.

    Summary

    What if a girl with one hell of a quirk came to Japan a little bit earlier than planned?
    Seraphina Tatsuyama never wanted to be a hero. She just wanted to build things and drag herself out of the gutter she was stuck in. But one thing leads to another, and suddenly the blue eyed guy she's in love with is throwing his future away and she can't help but do what she can to save him.
    Now she's the thing she hates, and she's living a lie that's eventually going to blow up in her face.
    Hopefully, her new friends can help her pick up the pieces when it does.

    Multiple pairings, Dabi is a Hero (not of his own choosing), Bakugo is never a Bully, UA is a college, and our main character is going to fuck up the whole ass world by the time things are said and done.

    HIGHLY RECOMMEND LISTENING WITH INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC ON FULL BLAST!!!

    Summary

    Hans Capon has no shortage of enemies who threaten his greatest secret. Will his undoing be a meddling uncle, a bride who knows too much, or the Royal Chamberlain with his clever schemes?

    But a trail of stolen silver and a missing horse soon drag them back into a war that refuses to end, even without a king on the throne.
    How long can Hans and Hal keep their love hidden? And when it comes to light—will it be enough to hold them together, or will the world tear them apart?

    The thing about ballroom is that it teaches you how to hold someone without touching them.

    Set over the weeks of Dancing With the Stars, this is a story about control, patience, humor that arrives late and stays forever, and two people who fall in love between counts — quietly, irrevocably.

    Summary

    Ten years after Voldemort's fall, the wizarding world has slipped into a new kind of conflict — the Book Wars. Ministries, consortia, and vampires raid each other’s libraries, hoard grimoires, and burn archives in a cold war where knowledge is the ultimate weapon. Into this landscape steps Hermione Granger, twenty-eight and battle-tested, now a scholar infiltrating salons, courts, and auctions where books are currency and book owners are either a threat or temptation. Across the Channel, Narcissa Black refuses to let her son’s disgraced generation rot in taverns; instead, she founds a rival school — Académie Noire — a citadel to gather the old families’ hoarded grimoires and train their children to thrive in this new world. As Académie Noire’s library swells, it draws the attention of rivals on every side — including the Thorned Quills, an order of militant scholars. Their best agent has a new assignment: infiltrate Narcissa’s citadel and steal back the knowledge she guards so jealously.
