Summary
Sion has always been little more than a pawn in his parents' sprawling empire, a disappointment in their quest for the perfect heir. Desperate to mold him into their vision of success, they send him to Seishin, an elite boarding school nestled in the mountains of Nagano, known for shaping the next generation of world leaders.
To Sion, however, Seishin represents everything he despises—unearned privilege, hollow traditions, and the suffocating weight of expectations.
Then he meets Maeda Riku, the charismatic son of Japan's most powerful right-wing politicians and the school's untouchable golden boy. At Seishin, his life is turned upside down—but not by the institution. It's Riku who changes everything.

Summary
“You don’t have to believe anything. I’m telling you that’s what’s going to happen. Do we have a deal?” Kuroo holds out a hand for Kenma to shake. And Kenma knows he shouldn’t make deals with the devil but if this will prevent more families from going through what he went through...he looks Kuroo up and down. Hesitant, he takes the man’s hand and shakes it.
“Fine,” he agrees.
“Then it’s a deal. 12 dates for 12 debts, afterwards you’ll never have to see me again.” Kuroo grins, and Kenma knows he made the worst mistake of his life.
Alternatively: Kozume Kenma is a 20 year old who's the son of an infamous Yakuza boss. He's desperately running away from his past, but when happens when he unknowingly makes a deal with the rival of his father; Kuroo Tetsurou?

“How dare - what are you doing?” she demanded.
“I’m not completely full on my own virtue and self-importance. I’ve still got to eat.”
“That caviar is a garnish!” Margaret watched in horror. “You can’t take that.”
Hawkeye never broke eye contact with her as he ran the spoon around half of the serving plate, scooping up the caviar that surrounded the potato salad. Her eyes were narrow in anger, and he challenged her with a look that asked what she was going to do about it. -

Summary
“Alicent this is—” Harrold starts to introduce but the woman is already standing up, reaching out a hand to shake Alicent’s.

Though, the sticky heat of summer is an enemy to her now as the build of sweat on the nape of her neck now only reminds her of one thing—one night. Images flicker in her mind—angel wings made of flesh, words penned in blood. She shudders.

Summary
“Hey, do you think these’ll help with a haunting?” A voice questioned, in a tone far too nonchalant for the subject matter.
Taking a deep breath, as Niko had begun advising both Crystal and himself to do when they found themselves overwhelmed, Edwin answered. “As in, help with writing fiction about a haunting?”
“No as in, I’m pretty sure I’m being haunted.”
___
It's 1993, and Edwin Payne has just begun his first term at university. He would love to focus on his job at the school's library and make it through the whole year unbothered. Unfortunately for him, a rather persistent stranger enlists his help investigating a supposedly haunted record shop.

Summary
Nancy speaks without thinking. “You can stay with me!”
When Chrissy looks at her, her eyes are wide and grateful. She mouths ‘really?’ and Nancy nods.
Maybe it’s a little impulsive. After all, it’s been six years. Who even knows if she and Chrissy will still have anything in common after such a long time? They might drive each other crazy.
But ever since Robin moved out, she’s been lonely. Sure, Steve and Eddie still abuse their privilege of having a spare key, barging in at all hours to use her phone, borrow her plunger, or (most often) eat everything in her kitchen that isn’t nailed down. But a pair of obnoxious across-the-hall neighbors is not the same thing as a roommate, and she misses having another girl around.
“Yeah,” she answers with a shrug. “Why not? I’ve got the space.”

“It’s not funny, Haze! I just ruined us the whole tour, and…"
“It’s meant to be a realistic documentary, not a comedy,” Hazel says. “You didn’t ruin the tour. You can still sing!”
“And what are we gonna do without a guitarist?” Nico protests.
“Find another one?”
February 1991. Will is only 18, but he feels his life is ending. With his mom on tour as the opening act for one of the biggest folksingers of the decade, he has been left alone to take care of his conservative grandparents. His job as a waitress grows more frustrating each day, and he feels stuck in a body that doesn't even feel his... At least, he has his dreams, his guitar, and a slot in the open mic night his bar is hosting. It isn't much, but it's the perfect excuse for fate to put rock singer Nico di Angelo and his band in Will's way, and, unbelievably enough, it's the beginning of his last night in Austin.

Summary
Sometime in the summer of '93, the two of them cross paths. With a beginning as saccharine as the organic sweet potatoes and an ending as fiery as the habanero peppers, it's hard to say who was wrong and who was right. Maybe, after all is said and done, there was no right or wrong.
Maybe it was just the feeling of love at the wrong place and time.

Where there's money, there's her by dazednstoned

Summary
“It's my job,” Abigail finally says. “Where there’s money, there’s me.” She shrugs with a pitiful smile. Despite the somberness dulling her eyes and tweaking her lips downwards, John finds she still looks awful pretty.
“It don’t gotta be that way,” he says tentatively, finally thinking and saying. He keeps his gaze on her as though fearful if he looks away she’ll stray from him.
“I wish you wouldn’t say that.”
“Why?”
“Cause it makes me think you’re someone you’re not.”
“M’sorry,” he says for once.
She’s turned her bare knees in to knock against his. It makes John dizzy in a good way. Eventually, her head drops to his shoulder. It’s chaste and sweet for a moment, but they’ve never been particularly good at that.

John and Abigail deal with their complicated dynamic the only way they know how.
