Summary
Nancy can’t stand Robin. She’s loud, messy, and brimming with far too much energy. But for the sake of her two best friends, Steve and Barb, Nancy puts up with her.
One night at a party, Robin rescues her from an overzealous frat guy by blurting out that they’re dating, and suddenly everyone believes it. No matter how many times Nancy insists it isn’t true, her friends refuse to be convinced.
The more time she spends with Robin, the more Nancy begins to wonder if maybe she was wrong about her all along.

Summary
Flins was assigned to take care of a manic, bipolar man. Rerir, patient 47, a dangerous individual whose mind teetered between manic and violent, was supposed to be impossible. Flins is the only one skilled enough to handle him.
The line between caretaker and captive blurs. Obedience and fear mingle with fascination and something darker, something forbidden. One wrong word, one misstep, and the balance shatters.
How does one care for a man who doesn't want to be cared for, and yet might make you want nothing more?

Summary
When Sabrina’s life falls apart she has a break down, sleeps with a mysterious woman in a hotel bar, and dyes her hair pink- not in that order. In an effort to give her some stability, her Aunt Hilda insist that she come work at her romance only bookstore, Spellbound Books, despite Sabrina hating romance novels.
In an effort to finish her latest novel, Lilith Lethe, a bestselling romance novelist with writers block, takes up her long time friend's offer to stay in the apartment above Spellbound Books. But she can't stop thinking about the amazing one night stand she had with the most aggravating girl- the one who insulted her livelihood yet inspired her now most popular villain.
“We do not like each other,” Lilith said and Sabrina snorted indelicately. “But we are rather good in bed together. You can’t deny that. I enjoy sleeping with you, Sabrina. And sleeping with you has helped me write so I propose that we continue fucking each other. Friends with benefits, if you will.”
“Except we’re not friends,” said Sabrina.
“No, we’re not,” agreed Lilith, “Enemies with benefits then.”

Summary
He let out a bitter chuckle. “Relax. I wouldn’t touch you even if you begged.”
“Oh, really?” You replied, annoyed. “Then why’s your hand been on my leg for the last ten minutes?”
He paused, then shrugged. "My bad," he remarked mockingly.
But instead of pulling away, his hand squeezed your thigh—too hard, your back arched, a sound catching in your throat. He tilted his head, watching your reaction with amusement. A small grin appeared on his lips.
He opened his mouth to speak, but before a word could come out, Gojo’s voice cut through the air—sharp, mad.
“Get your hands off her,” he said, almost like a yell, through clenched teeth.

Patrones de Luz Estelar by TerribadFixx
Fandoms: Encanto (2021), Strands of Starlight Series - Gael Baudino
23 Sep 2025
Tags
Summary
Strands of Starlight crossover, but you don’t need to have read the books. They’re very obscure and were only printed in the 80s and early 90s. Basically, Elves live among humans, helping and healing with their Goddess-given power. The blood can wake up in normal humans if they are near Elves too long and have a compatible personality with Elves. Their Goddess is called Elthia Calasouive and the Elves can go to her in their mind-starfield.
The plot, basically: The Madrigals are Elves, created when the Earth was created to help humanity, but they’re slowly fading. If they can’t find a way to renew their numbers, they may go extinct forever. Unless humans, with their unique and near-magical ability to change and embrace changes can help them find meaning again.

Summary
Megumi wandered around the Ryoumen exhibit, the works were beautiful. Simplistic beauty, where every stroke held its purpose.
A head of cherry coloured hair popped into his view, the boy donning a charming orange kimono with a vibrant yellow haori making him look like he stepped out from the sun. He looked more than out of place in a art exhibit where almost everyone else was in modern clothing.
The boy turned to face him, their seafoam and honey eyes lock. His heart fluttered slightly, the boy looked... cute.
"Hello! I'm Yuuji, what's your name?"
Maybe they can be friends.

Summary
Ororon needed a second source of income to keep him afloat during his studies and a friend dared him to be everything he wasn't: Bright and Cheerful. This is how the streamer "FruitBat" was born and from there it all got out of hand.
Thrain parted ways with the military and it left a void that needed to be filled. His passion for gaming blossomed in the absence of war and violence, and so his community began to grow. He is calm and collected - a respected streamer who uses streaming as a way to structure his day and keep the nights as short as possible.
Life is hard for both of them - so they hide their faces behind virtual masks. All they want is to find someone who understands them - and when their paths collide, they may find it in eachother.
It may be hard to get there, but it will all be worth it in the end.
