Summary
As he raised an eyebrow, fluttered his lashes, and slowly licked his lips at his own reflection, a mixture of euphoria and shame churned together inside him, like milk curdling with acid. Eyeliner became armor, guarding eyes that shed tears; lipstick became a weapon, granting these beautiful lips the power to take lives. Only then did he understand that makeup was not just adornment, but a shield between his raw self and the coldness of the world. With armor like this, he could be invincible.

Summary
"Perfection isn't fake - it's filtered."
That's what Gojo says when the cameras start rolling. When the lights hit just right and everyone laughs on cue. When the world loves him the most for a version of himself that doesn't exist.Geto doesn't believe in perfection. He believes in control, in silence, in pretending you don't care when you do.
And somewhere between ring lights and the microphones, between a hundred takes and a thousand lies, the two of them start mistaking exposure for intimacy.Six influencers. One mansion. Millions watching.
Every confession rehearsed. Every glance recorded. Every truth edited until it looks beautiful.Then one ten-second clip goes viral - Gojo's face unfiltered, exhausted, real. And suddenly, the show isn't entertainment anymore. It's a mirror.
Maybe Geto was right: authenticity isn't real.
It's just another performance.
One you can't edit out.= =
Or that fic where Gojo and Geto's reality show becomes something quieter and crueler - two people performing love until one of them forgets it was meant to be pretend.

Summary
What seemed like a dream quickly turned into reality. Match after match, they saw, cheered, and roared Ippo’s name as another star was added into his streak of KOs. Umezawa bragged about him to his other friends, of course. They knew each other, right? They were basically friends.
But his chest ached with every win.
Each time, he wanted nothing more than to drag Ippo into some quiet corner and say the words he’d swallowed for years. Yet shame, pride, and envy tangled too tightly inside him to unravel. The timid Ippo he had once written off as a wimp was blazing forward; growing into a star at such a pace that he could only watch as he slipped further from reach. Toward a future he wanted, opposite of Umezawa himself, only following where life took him.
So he settled for cheering, loud enough to drown out the ache.
------
Umezawa struggles with himself as he tries to sort out his feelings towards Ippo as his former bully and now friend, and perhaps something more if the world is kind enough. (Smut's only at the end of chapter one if you wanna skip it)

Summary
Kawi/Pisaeng abo fic inspired by Chapter 7 of ideas from my brain (be my favorite thread) fic and complete fic based on author's plot bunny Hidden Truths
It's an undeniable truth that Kawi himself was a beta, and Pisaeng was an alpha. Until it wasn't - neither truth were true.
Twisting back to the future after his 'date' with Prae Mai, unfortunately, doesn't change the fact that Pisaeng and Prae Mai are getting married. But reality crumbles when Pisaeng bursts into Kawi's room, exhibiting pure omega behavior - creating a nest on Kawi's bed and falling into some kind of pseudo-heat. The act, while leaves Kawi's virginity intact, completely shatters what Kawi thought he knew about life.
Canon divergence from the 3rd timeline (Pisaeng ditches wedding timeline)
Warning! Implied/referenced rape/non-con (in chapter 18) in place of the bad timeline (spoiler - it doesn't happen to the past Pisaeng, but to one of the alternative future Pisaengs)
~You now have been warned~ -

Summary
Dick Grayson has a secret.
For years, Deathstroke has been trying to recruit him as his apprentice. For years, Dick has said no. But after one mission too many, one life-or-death decision too many, one weight-of-the-world moment too many...
Dick finally says yes.

She's been carrying her own weight since her father became Doctor Fate's host. When Dick leaves the Team to train with Deathstroke, she makes her own choice...
To grow powerful enough that she'll never feel helpless again.

Exile from the Team, judgment from the League, and two years of operating in the gray areas that heroes pretend don't exist.
The reward?
Freedom, power, and fighting alongside each other every step of the way.
-----
Featuring: Slade as a surprisingly decent mentor, Constantine as his usual terrible influence self, Giovanni getting monthly weekends off from being Doctor Fate, Bruce trying to be less emotionally constipated, and the Bat Family and the Team slowly realizing that maybe Dick and Zee don't need saving after all.

Summary
“I guess I always knew he was gonna be the one to wreck whatever was left of my teenage dream. I seriously figured that after it all, I'd just grab my stuff, vanish, and crawl back into the hole I came from. Or maybe you'd finally figure out who I really am and just call the cops, and I… we… would just disappear."
Jisung smiled. A painful smile.
"But you always had to go and give me hope, hyung. And that was the cruelest, shittiest thing you could've done to me."
Just as the police prepare to declare a missing boy dead, Minho meets Peter. And unluckily for him, he falls in love.
