    Summary

    In a world where every person is marked with the words of their friends, their family, their lovers, Diluc only has a dead father and an Internet friend he’s lost contact with.

    Years later, in college, every Christmas nudges his lack of constellations — those strange, god-given tattoos that stain when love of any kind blossoms. With his two anchors gone, he has to face what he sees in the mirror every day: he is completely and utterly alone.

    Or so he thinks, until, at 2 A.M. on Christmas Eve, he stumbles upon Kaeya at the laundromat.

    Summary

    Kel knew he ought to be more grateful, because if there was anything spending so much time in Senema Hospital’s Oncology Ward had taught him, it was that there were too many people out there who’d do anything for just one more birthday. But he was in so much pain—up his left side, his chest and upper back, his neck. The only time he was pain-free was when he was deep in the mire of his subconscious, where he could be twelve years old again, cancer such a foreign concept that he didn’t even really know what it was.

    (Kel is sick, and no one knows how to deal with it.)

    Summary

    could it be coincidence that keeps leading akira to bump into the pretty stranger from the coffee shop? or could it be the fact that akira keeps going out of his way to bump into said pretty stranger? truly, one of life's greatest mysteries.

    Summary

    “Oh, fuck,” Akira grunted, actually flopping over him, his full weight on Goro. But he wasn’t kissing or touching or grinding or doing anything. He just buried his face into the pillow above Goro’s shoulder, and then turned it slightly so Goro could hear him when he said: “You look so innocent, but you’re -”
    Messed up. Crooked. Beyond salvation.
    Goro smiled, feeling the numbness take over slowly. Relishing in it.

    Summary

    Spotting a small neon “Open” sign flickering quietly in the window of a store just a little further down the sidewalk, Goro breathed a quick sigh of relief and jogged the rest of the way to the door. Swinging it open frantically, he propelled his body through the door as fast as he could before shutting it against the howling wind and rain once more.

    Taking a second to catch his breath, he slowly turned around to take in his surroundings before his eyes locked onto another pair. A guy around his age was manning the register at the front of the store and watching him with raised eyebrows and a tiny smile. A beat passed as Goro stared back, still catching his breath.

    “…Welcome,” the guy said.

    “Uh,” Goro started intelligently, dripping wet in the doorway. “Hi. Thanks.”
