Summary
Mint Choco Cookie only knows how to play forward — louder, stronger, intense. Spring festivals are meant for soft petals and gentle melodies, not storms in minor key.
But when doubt begins to quiet his music, Herb Cookie listens differently. Not for perfection. Not for applause.
Just for him.
In a garden that leans toward his sound and a heart that refuses to retreat, Mint may discover that storms can bloom — and that sometimes the gentlest thing in the world is simply being heard.

Summary
Mycroft insists Sherlock and John take a “holiday” in the Devon countryside for the sake of Sherlock’s mental health. Sherlock calls it exile. John calls it overdue.
The quiet is supposed to help.
Instead, a body is found near the cliffs.
As Sherlock throws himself into solving the case, the landscape begins to mirror something far more dangerous — the memory of a fall he never fully admitted frightened him. When reckless deduction pushes him too close to the edge, John is forced to confront a truth Sherlock has kept buried: sometimes forward motion is just another way of running.
Solving the murder may be simple.
Learning how to stay is not.

Summary
Between One Bite and the Next is a gentle, episodic story about three people who come together in a small kitchen and slowly learn how to belong to one another. Through shared cooking—avocado brownies, candied walnuts, apple pie, dumplings, soups, and simple meals made after long days—their lives begin to overlap in ways that feel natural rather than dramatic.
At the center is Stella, a woman used to observing rather than participating, whose world has always been defined by enough, but never excess. As she watches Andy’s restless experimentation and Cecily’s steady competence, she finds herself drawn into a rhythm of waiting, tasting, and staying. The food becomes a quiet language: not a solution, not a symbol, but a way of being together without needing to explain why.
This is a story about ordinary evenings, repeated meals, and the small spaces between actions where connection quietly forms—between one bite and the next.

Summary
A low-pay bounty brings the Bebop to a quiet, conservative colony where everyone knows everyone—and outsiders don’t fit easily. When an innkeeper assumes Jet and Spike are married and offers them the only available room, correcting the mistake turns out to be more trouble than it’s worth.
What starts as a harmless cover quickly becomes convenient. Then comfortable. Then… complicated.
As villagers treat them like a settled couple, Jet and Spike find themselves slipping into the roles a little too well—sharing meals, stories, and small domestic habits that don’t feel entirely like acting. Somewhere between a couple’s discount and a “convincing” public display of affection, the line between cover and truth starts to blur.
It’s just a job. Just a room. Just a story.
So why does it feel harder to drop the act once they leave?
A quiet, character-driven Jet/Spike story about assumptions, familiarity, and the things you don’t bother correcting.

Summary
The Softest Yes follows Geralt and Jaskier as they stop in a small village after a simple contract—and are promptly assumed to be married. They don’t correct anyone. What begins as an awkward misunderstanding turns into something quieter and more dangerous: comfort, belonging, and the realization that the village might be seeing a truth they’ve been avoiding. A soft, humorous, and emotionally grounded story about identity, choice, and the smallest yes that changes everything.
