    Summary

    Essek's tone is academic, clinical, cold. “It would be pointless to deny that I am attracted to you. And I wouldn’t object if what happened last night would happen again. But I would be grateful if we could keep it between us.”

    There’s a beat, then Caleb nods. “I’m fine with keeping it quiet and casual.”

    Or how cold, ruthless and lonely Essek Thelyss (a brilliant student with a secret) accidentally makes some friends and falls in love: a Shadowgast college AU.

    Summary

    For better or worse, Caleb Widogast was a witcher. He didn’t know if his affinity for magic would have made him a sorcerer in another life; he only had this one. His former masters had taught him to channel his gifts towards one thing and one thing only, and he had spent the better part of his life trying to unlearn that lesson, trying to be a protector instead of a murderer—and sometimes being a protector only meant he got to choose who would live and who would die.
    Sometimes it was a hard choice. Other times, however, it was very easy.

    Summary

    “My father explained my delusion. ‘This fox is dead’, he told me, ‘it may not seem so, but once the frost melts it will rot like anything else.’ I found this untenable at the time. But now I wonder, if nature is capable of suspending a creature between life and death, how will humans inevitably attempt the same?”
    Relentlessly, thinks Caleb. And without any thought for the soul.
    “Curious,” murmurs Thelyss. “Have you witnessed any practical experiments upon this theory?”
    “No,” he lies.

    Caleb hears word of a scholar, one who lives alone. It is unwise to knock on the door of a man known to be a cold host, but Caleb is desperate and has little to lose. He enters thinking there cannot be anything more monstrous inside but himself. However, he soon sees and experiences what he believed was found only on the pages of folktales.

    Summary

    Caleb pressed his palm into his chest. The weight of this affection grew and waned in intensity while Essek drifted in and out of his life, like a moon and her tides, but they never showed signs of withering in spite of the uncertainty of their relationship.
    As it stood, Essek was a satellite. He seemed happy enough to remain as such, as far as Caleb could tell, and Caleb was more than happy to be blessed by the tides of his love.

    A series of meetings between Caleb and Essek across the Wynandir galaxy.

    Summary

    He fidgeted with his hands, aware of how small and jittery he must seem compared to the composed, intimidating man across the table. Kageyama was exactly what he’d requested from the model agency: tall, handsome, and dark. But he hadn’t anticipated just how… scowly the model would be.
    The silence between them stretched unbearably, and just as Hinata opened his mouth to try and break the tension, Kageyama’s voice cut in, as blunt as a hammer.
    “I’m not having sex with you.”
    The words landed like a slap, and Hinata flinched, heat rushing to his face. He couldn’t decide what was worse, the fact that he said that, or the fact that that was the first thing he said to him since sitting down.

    ---
    Hinata Shoyo is stuck attending his cheating ex-boyfriend's wedding, and in a last-ditch effort to save face (and maybe stir up some well-deserved jealousy), he hires a model to pose as his perfect boyfriend. The only problem? His "perfect boyfriend" turns out to be as breathtakingly gorgeous as he is insufferably difficult.
