Summary
Dara sits up, but doesn’t get off the bed. Noam knows Dara’s not a relationship person; even if he hadn’t outright told him last night as they pushed through the door to the suite, his hands on either side of Noam’s face and his eyes more sober than they’d been the whole night, it was pretty damn clear to anyone with a hint of observational skill. Dara is not a lover. He is a jagged diamond sculpture that lovers throw themselves against and shatter, and Noam is the next in line.
Still, he can’t help but hope, hope, hope that Dara felt even a fraction of what he did last night.
Dara’s face turns just enough to glance at Noam out of the corner of his eye. Noam holds his breath, but Dara just turns away, pushing both hands through his hair and muttering a “Fuck” under his breath.
“Can you cook?” Dara asks, voice raspy. “Nevermind, that doesn’t matter. Invite me to stay over for breakfast. Now, before I change my mind.”
--
Dara's the lead singer of the hot new indie-rock band The Fever King, and an alum of Noam's university. Noam gets dragged to a concert, and both of them get in too deep.

Summary
Ames grins, tossing another gummy into her mouth. “You hate him.”
“I don’t hate him,” Dara says.
“You do--oh my god, you totally do!” She laughs. “You were all cold eyes at him--like that!--and you barely said a thing to him. You gotta admit it was assholish, even for you.”Dara shakes his head. “I don’t hate him.”
“But?”But Lehrer shoved a file on his background at Dara a few weeks back at a dinner reservation he’d arranged for them. First time in God knows how long they’d spent time together, especially since the campaign began, and despite everything Dara marked the date down on his calendar with red pen. Lehrer told him, between sips of vintage wine, “He’s an orphan--just like you.”
Except Dara isn’t an orphan, and his father doesn’t make slip ups. Lehrer’s marble eyes glinted above the rim of his glass.
--
basically it's just the story if it was set in our time and there are no witchings. dara falling in love with noam w/out the telepathy and the need to take down a nation, but with the alcohol, the abuse, and the terrible communication.

Ash was never good at asking for help. As he’s clutching Eiji’s letter in one hand and his bleeding stomach in another, he decides that maybe it’s time to learn.
Alternatively: Ash calls a fucking ambulance.

Summary
In the aftermath of the novel, the Lan elders cite an old Confucian rule in refusing to acknowledge the unwitnessed marriage between Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji: it is inappropriate, they say, for a younger brother to marry before the elder.
In the face of mounting attempts to drive Wei Wuxian from the Cloud Recesses, and rampant infighting for the position of Jin sect leadership, Jiang Cheng proposes marriage to Lan Xichen. The marriage, he says, will cement their allyship and bring stability to the crumbling coalition of the Great Sects.
Unfortunately, the new couple just do not get along.
Xicheng enter a marriage of convenience. After much strife, they agree to try anew. Eight years pass in peaceful co-existence, but they eventually capitulate to requests from elders to annul the marriage and beget heirs. However, they soon realize that it's not so easy to put eight years of marriage behind them. Falling repeatedly into bed together, they begin to navigate a shameful, secret relationship.

Summary
Sunshine, Ace calls out once, not knowing he was going to say it until he did. Sabo blinked, taken by surprise. He turned to look at his twin, curiosity clear on his face along with a complete lack of confusion that was telling.
They both knew who he meant. Luffy knew it, too, and came running the way he always came running when one of his brothers called his name. There were leaves in his hair and scraggly flowering weeds crammed in his pockets and—always—a big smile on his face, bright and beaming.
