    Summary

    It's 1986 and for Xie Lian, a deaf college student, the world keeps getting bigger. For the first time in his life, he’s putting himself out there and experiencing things his overprotective parents would never imagine, including four consecutive dates with Hua Cheng, a 21 year old Harley enthusiast whose laid back personality and fluent sign language make him irresistible.

    As overwhelming as his newfound independence is, Xie Lian is happier than he's ever been.

    All of this changed on November 12th, 1986 — the day he disappears without a trace.

    Xie Lian is kept bound in his captor’s basement — a man he cannot identify due to the mask he wears. When he manages to escape, he discovers he has been missing for nearly four years, and nothing in his life is the same. Worst of all, his captor remains a free man unless Xie Lian can find a way to identify him.

    Though his entire world has turned upside down, one thing remains the same: Hua Cheng’s affection for him. Together, they work through the events of the past four years to help Xie Lian come to terms with his trauma and find a way to catch his captor. It becomes clear before long that until the man is caught, Xie Lian is far from safe…

    Summary

    “I’m not carrying your drink for you,” Akutagawa gripes.

    When Atsushi merely stares at him, nonplussed, he continues.

    “You wanted two drinks? You have two hands. Carry them yourself.”

    Atsushi can’t help it; he laughs, sharp and startled.

    “I didn’t buy myself two drinks. One of them is for you, obviously.”

    “What? Why?”

    The sheer disbelief in Akutagawa’s tone is enough to give Atsushi pause.

    “Well, because I…”

    But Atsushi trails off, only now realizing that he isn’t quite sure of his answer. He bought the hot chocolate because it’s warm and good, and because he wants Akutagawa to be warm, and to have good things. Because he knows Akutagawa likes chocolate, even if he’d never admit it, and because he won’t allow himself that sort of frivolity, the duty falls to Atsushi. Because that’s what it feels like, caring for Akutagawa. It feels like a duty. Like a calling. Because for all their bickering and their differences and their complicated past, he wants Akutagawa to be happy. And he wants to be the person who made it so.

    Akutagawa and Atsushi! At a Christmas market! Undercover as a couple!

    Summary

    “Hell, no! Are you stupid or something? It’s not because the cat is ugly as shit that you can do that to him!” His boyfriend sputtered, petting the small cat in his arms as if to soothe him. “I won‘t let this idiot ruin you like this, you little ball of darkness. We are going to beat his ass.”

    Summary

    For the first time in his life, Shouto Todoroki thinks he might be happy. Freed from his father's rule by the hand of his husband and now king, Shouto finds himself swept up in his lovers' embrace, the impending threat of a powerful necromancer and his undead pet with a grudge little more than a distant anxiety easily ignored for the miracle that is being loved by Katsuki and Izuku, and watching them love each other. But, as he feared, such happiness can't last.

    The Todoroki kingdom has fallen, sending its monarchs retreating to the mountains for shelter and aid. With the Todorokis unseated, Katsuki finds the threat of war on his eastern border more dangerous than ever before. A mad man has taken the Todoroki kingdom and he won't rest until the whole world lies broken at his feet. Tomura Shigaraki must be stopped, but the new alliance forged between the barbarian conqueror and the disgraced flatland king is tenuous at best. As tensions mount, Shouto finds himself trapped between two levees-- on one side, his kingdom, his blood, and his legacy, on the other, his lovers, his home, and the family that made him theirs. And he has no idea where he will be standing when the floodwaters break.
