    Summary

    Alberu was a busy man who was working day and night to become the successor of Crossman Corporation and to also keep that title for himself.

    So, he couldn’t allow himself to do anything but work, to avert his attention, no, that was impossible.

    But then, one night, out of the blue…

    [“Buy me alcohol. I forgot my money.”]

    …He met a certain mesmerizing stranger with unique reddish-brown eyes.

    [“Sure thing, gorgeous.”]

    And hell, there was no way he could resist him

    [He looks hot.]

    [Yeah right…Alberu trying (and failing) to keep his mind and thoughts family friendly.]

    What started as anything but a simple one-night stand got more complicated the more time passed. And Alberu, well, he knew one thing for certain: Crossman Corporation was not the most important thing in his life.

     

    (Or; a story of one stressed out, overworked workaholic and one traumatized smartass falling in love with each other, interweaving their already complicated enough lives.)

    Summary

    Choi Jung Soo always said that he didn’t smile a lot, and then he’d do something stupid and prove his own words wrong.

    That stupid idiot would always laugh along instead of getting embarrassed, an action that, in itself, was so confusing to someone who didn’t understand how being in pain could make someone smile.

    Alberu Crossman wasn’t like that, at all. He was cunning, less innocent compared to someone who’d cause himself to stumble forward and scrape his knee just to see his friend snort. He was also less stupid, to put it simply.

    But then, he too, would go ahead and do something dumb. And that would make Cale snort. And then the results were the same.

    A smile is precious. It was Choi Jung Soo’s last action. Perhaps it was him trying to make Cale laugh one last time.

    But something precious could also become something cursed, rather easily even.

    And doesn’t that hurt the most, to look at something you oh so cherished and feel nothing but absolute, earth-shattering dread overcome you?

     

    Or, in simpler terms, a modern highschool au with a twist :3

    Summary

    Came up with a modern AU and used it to write smut. Chapter 1 is a bit of Cale backstory and RokCale one night stand, chapter 2 is a darker snippet from further into the story (also filthy, but in the hurt/comfort way), and chapter 3 is worldbuilding notes. If TCF secret organizations modern AU sounds like it might be fun to explore, feel free to just check out the notes in the third chapter and have fun :)

    Chapter 1: Cale's had a stressful few weeks. Scratch that, a stressful whole entire life. He deserves to get drunk in Paris at least once, right? And if he meets a goddamn stunner along the way, that's just gravy.

    Chapter 2: he doesn't remember that video.

    Chapter 3: Worldbuilding notes (free! you can have them if you want :) )

    Summary

    AKA a few are forced to come face to face with the fact that they didn't know the young master Cale very well at all until he said a few things without thinking in the heady aftermath of a very bad time.

    AKA Basen and Cale are invited to the 2nd prince's 20th birthday party. Many others are invited as well, including one Venion Stan and his lackeys. They're already planning to leave early and attend their own, much more entertaining party in the guest wing when Venion spots the mouthy redhead, alone, already several glasses deep, and gets an idea.

    Later, Basen and Hans go looking for him. They do not like what they find.
    Thankfully, neither does anyone else.

    Summary

    Cale really, really hated his life right then. Situations like these were precisely why he wanted to live a slacker life, far away from manipulative scammers like Alberu.

    “So let me get this straight. You’re forcing me to join a cult with you?”

    “We’re infiltrating a cult,” Alberu corrected, still smiling pleasantly. “I thought I’d come talk to you tonight, rather than directly asking your father tomorrow.”

    Cale gets roped into Alberu's schemes and comes out with a maybe-boyfriend.

    Summary

    (it's fine, I'll catch you)

    Eruhaben invites Cale to give his opinions on a new magic device. Cale has a horrible moment of self-realization. He panics, shame closing his throat, but Eruhaben is there to comfort him. Things get heady. For Cale, at least.

    [A Record, unbidden. At the orphanage. One time, in his early teens. [...] He needed to clean this up. Somehow. The door creaked open. Ah. That’s right. They said some prospective parents were going to come by today.

    The look in their eyes.

     


    SHAME SHAME SHAME SHAME SHAME

     

    [...]

    “Shh, it’s okay, it’s okay, you’re safe. You’re safe, my child.”]

    Summary

    “HUMAN!”

    Cale flinched and unconsciously hid the document behind him.

    Raon flew to the couch as he did the day before but with far more anger in his chubby frame. “Weak human, you promised! You said you would sleep after breakfast but it has been an hour, thirty-one minutes and twenty three seconds!”

    “I know, but I only have one-”

    “No!” The dragon stomps his legs on the couch, Cale actually bounces a bit from the heavy pounding. “Weak human is stupid!”

    He then crawled over Cale’s legs and physically pushed his chest to lie down, Cale went down so easily it was almost laughable how this six year old was easily manhandling his guardian.

    Where Cale Henituse can't sleep and everyone has something to say about it.

    A 5+1 fic.

    Summary

    Finally... After so many years.. The summoning ritual is complete. A wicked grin spread across the Vampire prince's face. Drawing the final symbol with the blood of a lamb, he began to chant,
    'The prettiest, richest person in all of Roan, heed the blood and come to be, A sacrifice of flesh.'

    He was certain this would summon the Princess. Who else would fit such a description? Its not like he was gonna eat her... he was lonely for goodness sake!

    In the middle of the circle, a slim figure.

    Pale skin.
    A delicate frame.
    Long blood red hair.
    Yes! It worked!-

    Hold on... The princess did indeed have red hair.. but wasnt she bigger than this..? The princess the vampire knew was a strong woman... This... was a fragile looking... MAN?!

    Didnt i summon the RICHEST? Hes pretty though... What a failure.. Lets send him back.

    Summary

    The ballroom night was going exactly as expected: plain, boring, and bothersome.

    Cale lazily swirled the wine in his glass, watching the liquid catch the light. That was supposed to be the extent of his evening. Maybe drive Alver a little insane, then slip away early.

    However, out of nowhere, Adin had approached him and asked for his hand in marriage. Whatever that man was planning, Cale would make sure he regretted it.

    Summary

    Arthur could see his father glaring down - face red and eyes narrowed as he looked at Merlin with clear distaste.

    "Once this over, sorcerer...I’ll burn you."

    "You’ve already tried that," Merlin’s voice answered and Arthur had to bite his fist to keep from making any noise. “You need to accept you can’t kill me… Hand me that blanket, please.”

    “I’m sure there must be some method… Beheading?”

    “No, we tried that.”

    “Hanging?”

    “I just sort of... Swung there, remember?”

    There was another pause.

    “I should have made you keep that dragon below the castle so I could feed you to it.”

    “Kilgharrah? He won’t eat me, but if you want to torture me than making me listen to his nonsense for an hour might do it.” Merlin said and there was a soft sigh from the other end of the room. “I’m glad you agreed to help me though. Usually I have to do the grunt work of saving Arthur myself.”

    “I can’t wait to kill you.” 

    Or

    Uther finds out about Merlin’s magic, but can’t seem to kill him. Merlin is just trying to protect Arthur. They become a begrudgingly effective duo. Arthur doesn't understand why they think he isn't noticing this.

    Summary

    “So let me get this straight,” Arthur said, folding his fingers together as the man in front him awkwardly shifted. “You are under the impression if you win the favor of my servant that you will then win my favor?” he asked and the nobleman shifted again.

    “Well, sire,” he said “That is the common consensus among… the chatter.”

    “The chatter,” Arthur repeated and his mind flashed to all the kindness Merlin had received from other nobles. Dear God.

    Or

    Merlin has all of Camelot (and neighboring kingdoms) wrapped around his finger and Arthur is beginning to resign himself to the fact his servant somehow has more power than he does.
