Summary
The Qiu household devours children quietly.
Shiyi survives by forgetting — his name, his past, the shape of kindness — until memory itself becomes something sharp and dangerous. Cruelty is administered in increments, patiently, until fear feels like faith.
Jiu does not arrive as salvation. He arrives as witness.
What binds them is not innocence, but endurance: a love forged in locked rooms, whispered vows, and the knowledge that some horrors never loosen their grip — they only learn new names.

Summary
The 'What If' Story of Sadie Adler and Arthur Morgan
~ My second life promised blood. His promised redemption. We kept both promises in the end. ~
___________
“If Colm wasn’t alive,” Arthur finally said, voice gone distant, “what would you want?”
“Breakfast." I smiled because it hurt less than telling the truth.
“After breakfast?"
“Clean hands that still know what to do,” I smiled again, surprising myself. “A horse that likes me more than not. A little time where the only thing that needs killin’ is silence. No one callin’ me Miss anything.”
He nodded like he’d been handed a map that didn’t promise roads. “I could stand that."
“And you?” I asked. “If Dutch’s ‘one last score’ didn’t end with all of us in holes or heatstroke?”
“Quiet." He sighed. “A river with fish that ain’t clever. A place where a man can come inside without lookin’ over one shoulder and then the other. No parades. No letters.” He didn’t look at me when he said that, and I didn’t make him.
“You there, if you want,” he added, so bare it almost wasn’t words.
“I ain’t pretty company, Arthur."
“I ain’t either,” he breathed. “We’ll make an ugly peace.”

Summary
The mega city of Switzerland, Year 2150 — Among towers of chrome and neon, a new spark of intelligence has crawled from cerebral silicone, and Adam Frankenstein is no longer cursed to walk this Earth alone.
All things organic loved Adam Frankenstein.
And then there was her, and she loved him too. With her whole heart she'd like to say, but the Jarvis pump below the scaffolding of her thorax could hardly be the well of those emotions, that tender despair that afflicted her whenever he kept her in his arms as though she meant the entire world and more.

Summary
In a corner of the city where the streets are tough and the bonds are tighter, Katsuki's always been a bit of a wildcard. His folks, part of the pulse that keeps this struggling community beating, pour their hearts into lifting everyone up. Him? He's still trying to figure out where he fits, aside from throwing punches in the right direction. But when a string of vicious crimes starts tearing through their close-knit neighborhood, finding his place takes a backseat.
Then there's Izuku, the 'newcomer', who manages to get under Katsuki's skin from the get-go with his sharp tongue and even sharper insights. Their first exchange is anything but smooth, sparks flying for all the wrong reasons.
Yet, as they're thrust together by Izuku's uncanny interest in the string of murders unsettling their community, the tension between them starts to simmer with an unexpected heat. Forced to collaborate, Katsuki finds the friction isn't just about irritation anymore—it's a distraction, making it increasingly hard to ignore the pull towards someone who's he’s not sure he can fully trust.

Dick had forgotten how large this man was. Had forgotten how he used to have to duck down when getting into Dick’s bedroom. Forgotten how easily he pinned Dick against the wall.
Had almost been able to forget about him completely.
"There you are, darling.”
Dar– Darling???
“What the…” Dick stuttered. He certainly didn’t hear it wrong, right?
Did this mafia bastard really just call him Darling?

Summary
“Caitlyn!”
Caitlyn froze halfway across the porch. She whirled around, eyes frantically scanning the darkness at the sudden, desperate shout.
The Ford pickup had made it about a quarter of a mile down the winding dirt road, still idling with its red taillights lit up. The driver’s side door had been flung wide open.
Vi was running back to Caitlyn in a dead sprint.
Caitlyn’s blood began pounding in her ears once her heart kickstarted back to life. She raced off the porch, charging over the loose gravel of the driveway, dirt kicking up around her heels when she hit the main road.
The cheerleader kept going, legs churning, lungs burning, heart nearly ready to burst. She barely had time to brace herself for impact, mouth open as she panted from the exertion.
Vi collided with her. The force of it knocked the remaining air out of Caitlyn.
OR
Grease meets Arcane. Vi is the leader of her loyal high school gang, The Slicks. Jinx and her pals are the Blue Crew. Caitlyn is the new girl in town, just trying to find her place.
