    Summary

    Kel has always felt some sort of inexplicable pull towards the vast, unknowable depths that lie beyond his town’s tranquil lagoon; bound by tradition and the constraints of long-taught turmoil, he was never able to explore these desires. However, his world is turned upside down the moment he encounters Sunny, an alluring figure who represents everything his community has taught him to reject. Along the course of a few months, Kel finds himself drawn into a nuanced romance that challenges the very foundations of his existence. With endless nights spent slipping off to the shore, the lines of his fantasies begin to entangle with his perceived truth back home with his drifting family. Humid evenings, strained brotherhood, untold secrets, and horrible, horrible timing.

    “Sorry, I… uh…” Kel swallowed thickly. “...Am I gonna see you again?”

    His eyes were pleading even without the light of the sunset to emphasize his distress. It was as if everything fell silent, all cues of the outdoors gone quiet all at once. The crickets had hushed. The wind was gone. Even the swashing of the bay, the sway of the grass, the calls and squacks of the gulls– absent.

    “Do you want to?”

    Summary

    Months after being drugged and kidnapped, Reki lives his young adult life on an olden ship, slaving away as part of a crew he despises. He's not a very good pirate. With a fear of drowning and a strange thought process, he's only given minimal tasks, like sewing, and carpentry, and occasionally fishing. His life out on the ocean is plain, and unenjoyable.

    That is until one of the crew's fishing nets catches something big, with shiny blue scales and fair skin all at the same time. A mermaid. Or, merman, in this case. Regardless, this creature's very existence is enough to make Reki think he's officially lost it.

    The crew keeps the creature in a small, wooden tank among the ship, telling Reki specifically not to interact with it. The Captain's plan for the creature? Use its scales for money and the creature itself for his own gain. A cruel plan no matter how you look at it.

    Despite the various warnings Reki received, he doesn't listen, trying different ways to gain the creature’s trust, trying to get it to talk to him... if it can even talk, let alone in a language he can understand.

    Maybe an unlikely friendship will occur? Or maybe even something more?

    Summary

    Till dreams of designing clothes that could touch his idol’s heart… but between deadlines, loneliness, and a ruthless fashion school, inspiration feels far away. His only constant light is his idol, I.V., the model who first made him fall in love with fashion.

    Then there’s Ivan: a clumsy, quiet classmate in his fashion school who seems completely out of place in a school like theirs, yet somehow understands Till better than anyone ever has.

    What Till doesn’t know is that Ivan is I.V… the same man he worships from afar, now standing right beside him under a disguise.

    As both sides of Ivan’s world begin to blur, the threads between them tighten. Till finds comfort in two different men, unaware they’re the same, and Ivan finds himself trapped between truth and the love he’s afraid to lose.

    A story of hidden identities, fragile trust, and the dangerous beauty of falling for someone twice.

    Summary

    "Are you really okay with this? If you want to run away, that's alright. But, this could be your final chance to face it. With Ena, that is."

    An alternate timeline of "With Our Hands, Covered in Wounds" where Mizuki ultimately chose to keep running away from Ena. From that moment on, their trajectories diverged, seemingly for good. Each subsequent step Mizuki took, literal and figurative, served to further push herself apart from Ena and Nightcord at 25:00 as a whole. She believed that doing so was the only way to 'save' them from her own self.

    But, in spite of everything that happened, Ena's love and determination would never truly fade away. Surely, she would one day get a chance to convey her true feelings to Mizuki, right?

    Right?
