Summary
“They should make some instructions’ booklet for these things. That would be more useful than the ‘how to use’ instructions on shampoo bottles, for sure.”
Naoki and Chiaki having tender, clumsy, awkward, meaningful and loving sex.
That’s it, that’s the fic. -

Summary
“They sleep with a light on. Never in pitch black darkness, like they should as adults. They keep a source of light, always. A small night light, one of those made for little children, that sit on their drawer and bathe the room in a faint, soft green glow.
It doesn’t keep the nightmares away, but it makes them a little more comfortable - As much as recurrent nightmares can be. At least, when one of them wakes up screaming in terror, they’re not lost in an endless abyss and the silhouette of their bedroom – drawer, closet, mirror, tv, the landscape painting hanging on the wall - drawing itself in the low-light grounds them in reality a bit faster.”Even after Naoki restored the world the way it was, their time in the Vortex still hovers above their minds like heavy thunderclouds.

Summary
Having to suddenly move in with a semi-estranged family, switching from a prestigious private high school to a shitty public one, leaving behind her home, her very few friends, all the comforting safe spaces she'd been painfully building herself for years, only to start from point zero again on her sixteenth year, that was bad. Being the despicable snobby stranger girl in her awfully conservative and borderline-mafiosi "new family", that was super bad. Not being able to control anything in her life anymore and being helplessly carried away like a vulgar plastic bag by waves of unfortunate events, that makes her sick to her stomach.
But what seriously makes Edelgard supposes she just had died at some point and is trapped in a long, painful purgatory is that she now has to live in a seaside town in a household of oyster-farmers where every fucking thing revolves around the sea, her nemesis, her phobia, everything she'd usually hates and avoid by fear of death.
Fuck, she should have learned to swim. Or seriously paid attention in behaviour therapy. Or killed her whole family, or killed herself, or whatever.
Really, just send me to Hell already, it would be less cruel.

Summary
Have you ever felt strongly for a memory, aching and familiar, that you know is false?
It's an unexpectedly warm spring, and graduation is just around the corner.
The sting of inevitable parting feels like it might make farewells all the sweeter.
Or perhaps not; doesn't matter.
Leaving beyond all that you've known isn't quite the same thing as the end of the world...Right?

Bookmarker's Notes
I don't know where the plot of this one is going, but the author has proved themselves in the past as a really good Nocturne writer, so I can safely say this is going to be good.
Also, I love their characterisation of Chiaki. And let's be honest: at this point I'm taking any crumb of Chiaki content avaliable. And you're telling me that the crumbs are insanely good, on top of that? Then it's a big win to me. -

Summary
The road to living for oneself is lonely, to say the least, for Ulala Serizawa as Valentine's Day comes up. All her friends have plans, but when Elly calls up in tears over a shock change in plans, Ulala takes it upon herself to cheer Elly up. After all, it's not as if she's doing anything, and with Maya on a date in the next room she could use all the distractions she can get. That being said, she's not going to be short on feelings this Valentine's Day so long as Elly's around.

Summary
So let's say hypothetically, you're a man with desires that you can rarely act on thanks to a perfectionism that tortures you day in, day out. Or you're tired of everyone only seeing you as a good girl who can do no wrong, when you're twenty and are far more multifaceted than just a pretty face.
Katsuya and Elly fall into disaster as they learn more about each other and themselves behind the kitchen counter, their friends metres away and hands going places they shouldn't go.

Summary
In a fit of boredom, Nyarlathotep witnesses an intriguing game played by the young people who defeated him months prior. With nothing better to do he decides to start a little game; Maya, Ulala, Katsuya, and Baofu must decide which of their friends they'd rather fuck, marry, or kill, and then complete the action within a week. If they fail or forfeit, they face untold horrors beyond their comprehension. If they succeed, they'll escape with their lives; whether their friends do all depends on the choices they make.
Backed by the Collective Unconsciousness, the party are bound by their choices made in the heat of the moment. Is there a way out, or will they be forced to stand by everything they've said?
