Summary
No one ever truly knows what fate holds. Sometimes the person we once dreamed of, the one we were so sure would stay by our side forever, turns out not to be ours after all. Or maybe they are meant to be ours, but only after we’ve stumbled through a path filled with thorns and stones—until we find ourselves back at the finish line, the very place where everything first began.
Believe this: fate is never mistaken, and it never swaps what was meant to be.

Summary
Experts say, three months. The one-and-some months of tentative 'dating' doesn't compare to the over-decade's worth of hopeless pining. Maybe he's being greedy, asking for an acceleration. Kanato crams the remainder of the sandwich in his mouth. The cream sticks to his gums.
Something that sticks—the way Hibari's big, boyish, toothy laughter does to the back of his mind. Something that stays, and lives in the corners of a home for two. Something without a shelf life—a memory. One that can be slipped into the sleeve of a photo album, that Kanato can point out on rough days—hey, remember this? Simple and mundane and with Hibari; everything he could ask for.He has but one modus operandi; one reason it has to be best of the best. Just one, selfish wish. He needs to hear Hibari say,
I love you.OR: It was supposed to be a good day. But all that gets left behind is a boy and his grief.

Summary
Seven years after returning to Port Island from self-imposed exile, Shinjiro Aragaki has settled into quiet anonymity and found decent work as an ex-con turned informant.
His attempts to remain forgotten are foiled when a suspected kidnapping attempt puts a familiar heiress under his watch. Unfortunately, said heiress has developed a devil-may-care attitude of her very own; one that ensnares them both in a tangled web of past, present, and future.
(Elsewhere, Akihiko Sanada finds a forgotten keepsake a week before his wedding).

Summary
The blood on my hands was warm, sticky—too familiar. But I didn’t flinch. Not when his eyes were on me. Heterochromatic, piercing, taking me apart piece by piece, reading every twitch of my fingers, every shallow breath.
Ari tilted his head, stepping closer. His presence was a weight—heavy, unavoidable. “Bailey’s shaking,” he murmured, voice gentle, almost fond. His hand ghosted over mine, smearing red against my skin like an artist blending paint. “It feels strange at first. But Bailey will understand. Bailey will see what I see.”
My stomach twisted. The body at my feet should’ve made me sick. Should’ve. But all I could feel was the warmth of Ari’s touch.
“I don’t know if I can keep doing this,” I whispered.
Ari smiled—soft, reassuring. Loving. “But Bailey will.”
His fingers curled around mine, firm, steadying. Holding me in place.
“Bailey’s strong. Stronger than he thinks. I knew it the first time I saw him.” His voice dipped, soft and syrupy, spilling into my ear. “I’ll never let Bailey go.”
A pause. A promise.
His lips barely brushed my temple, warm, suffocating. "And someday, Bailey will thank me for it.”
And the worst part was—
I wasn’t sure I wouldn’t. -

Summary
The summer of your life had a name — Caleb. He was August itself, a world of honey-drenched, cloudless afternoons and laughter of gold-saturated old days echoing through the years, clear as sunlight on water. Gravity, pulling you two together. You orbiting around each other, closer, brighter, almost, almost. Until, just like the dandelion puff of childhood dreams or the sudden drop of a swing going too high — he was gone.
Then came Xavier. The quiet glow of the moon, silver constellations scattered against the abyss, not demanding your orbit. He was light without heat, steady and luminous, guiding you through the night Caleb had left behind, illuminating all the spaces where once there had been warmth and wonder instead of emptiness.
But what happens when the sun rises again to chase away the moon and stars that endured without it? Can the sky hold them both? Can you? Or must one always eclipse the other?

“Not gonna find what you’re looking for here, sunshine, whatever it is,” she cuts him off. Steve flushes scarlet.

Summary
“I just realised,” Sam says, and she thinks he might be lying. “I guess I was too busy to give it much thought at the time, but do you know who wasn’t in Dean’s heaven? Dad.”
“That can’t be true,” Mary crosses her arms. “Dean and John were always…”
“I know, it’s weird isn’t it?” Sam says. He’s toying with his bottle, rolling it from hand to hand. She notices it but she doesn’t know what it means, not the way John probably did. Not the way Dean would. “And they spent so much time together too, you’d think some of it must’ve been happy. But I guess that’s Dean and dad in a nutshell: normal enough on the surface, but scratch that away and all you find are secrets.”Ressurected (again) in a clumsy attempt at divine redemption (again) and stuck in the happily ever after part of the story, Mary does her best to cope with the motherhood she can never quite remember wanting. But Dean won’t stop screaming in his sleep, and Jack won’t stop trying to fix him and there’s a storm in the distance that won’t stop brewing.
It'll probably all be fine. -
