    Summary

    “You shouldn’t be here,” Jisung finally managed, voice uncertain, eyes narrowing.
    The man’s mouth curved ever so slightly, calm, imperious. “Neither should you. Now move.”
    Jisung raised an eyebrow, incredulous. “Excuse me? Who even are you? And who gave you the right to barge in here? Young artists deserve respect, you know! I’ve worked my entire life for this stage…”
    “I’m Minho… the new security,” Minho said, voice low, almost detached. “Designated for you by festival management. You need to leave. Now.”
    Jisung flailed his hands, disbelief written across his face. “I’m positively not going anywhere with someone I’ve never met. I want to call my manager!” he finished with a pout.
    “For all the gods, of course, I’d have to protect a brat…”

    OR

    When Minho, the silent son of Artemis, and Jisung, the unknowing heir of Dionysus, are thrown together, they find themselves bound by prophecy and hunted by monsters. Between duty and desire, their steps draw them ever closer, unaware that an older, darker power waits in the shadows.

    Summary

    Meg was supposed to be finding her place in the city - burnt coffee, rooftop nights, bad decisions with better friends. But when one desperate choice leads her to Hades' door, everything begins to slip.

    He doesn’t deal in money. He trades in power, obedience, and quiet devastation. And Meg, whether she knew it or not, was already his.

    Flynn - reckless, loyal, always chasing something brighter - tries to pull her back. Esme, her oldest friend, watches her disappear and starts asking dangerous questions. But Meg can’t reach them. Not without breaking what little she has left.

    As the leaves fall and the cold sets in, Meg walks deeper into the life she never meant to choose - where loyalty is survival, silence is safety, and love is the most dangerous liability of all.

    Summary

    Persephone has always lived in the spotlight, trapped by the image she created long ago, the perfect, unbreakable girl named Kore. But when the pressure finally shatters her carefully crafted façade, she’s forced to confront the parts of herself she’s tried to bury.

    Drawn into a mysterious funeral home run by a man who deals not just in death but in new beginnings, Persephone faces a choice: cling to the past she knows, or embrace the uncertain path to becoming a person of her own.

    Summary

    Joui Jouki prometeu a si mesmo que naquele ano seria diferente, ele não seria expulso da Nostradamus como foi da sua última escola. Mas ultimamente os deuses do Olimpo dos seus livros de história parece que tem se materializado na sua realidade. E ao que tudo indica, não estavam nada contentes com ele.

    César Cohen já tinha deixado para trás as expectativas da sua vida a muito tempo, mas quando foi matriculado a força na Escola Nostradamus de Ensino Médio depois de ter sido expulso das últimas quatro, sentiu que algo havia mudado. Ele fez amigos ali, amigos que tem uma história de vida comicamente semelhante a sua, inclusive quando começaram a perceber que os monstros imaginários que costumavam alucinar não eram tão imaginários assim.

    Arthur Cervero nunca foi alguém que deu trabalho para os pais, mas ao descobrir que eles esconderam algo importante dele por todos esses anos as coisas mudaram e, depois da sua tentativa falha de fugir de casa, ele foi mandado para a escola Nostradamus, onde foi acolhido por pessoas que passavam pelas mesmas coisas que ele, como ser atacado pela sua professora de artes que se transformou em um ser alado de garras afiadas.

    Summary

    Evie cared for and loved him deeply. But secretly.
    And Ben more than returned those feelings. Not so secretly.

     

    How unfortunate it was that the two's visible attraction to one another at their first meeting took place right in front of Mal. Truly unfortunate indeed.

    Or so Mal thinks.

    Summary

    "I've yet to meet the being — mortal or God — who I could not make feel the power of true love, whether romantic, platonic, or ideal." It was Clark's very reason to exist, after all.

    Diana just gave him a fathomless look. "Anyone at all?"

    "What about your husband?" Lex piped up, with a shark-like grin.

    "My husband?" Clark asked blankly. It took him more than a few seconds to parse Lex's words. "Wait — do you mean Bruce?"

    Summary

    When Nobara is summoned to underworld Tartarus (much to Utahime’s vexation and Gojo’s amusement), she assumes it’s Sukuna’s way of putting the gods and goddess in their place, and she’s the representative. She knows Sukuna will mess with her, but to her chagrin, it’s not with the brutal sex and violence he’s notorious for.

    Instead, Sukuna involves her with mysterious, difficult, demigod Fushiguro Megumi and a likely death sentence in six months’ time. Somehow Gojo and Utahime have a part in it and there’s more to this odd arrangement than meets the eye.

    Summary

    Apollo is the center of the universe up there, and Wooyoung wants it for himself. The grace, the control, the cinematic opportunity. Wooyoung knows art, he can create it, but he desires more. He wants to be the art. He’s seen how some of his classmates had looked at him, especially after his first day of life modeling. He could have this. It would take months of work, of building muscle—Wooyoung can’t pull his eyes away from the veins in Apollo’s forearms that pop every time he flexes his biceps—of gaining stamina, but he could put in the effort. He can, he will, he wants this. Reality is clay, and Wooyoung is seated at a pottery wheel ready to shape it any which way that benefits him. Any goal is a future reality when his hands mold it. Wooyoung doesn’t just aspire, he achieves. He’s been looking for a reliable source of money, and he knows this can be it. Apollo is soaring on that stage, royal, powerful and untouchable. Wooyoung can be regal. He can burn gold and he can command just as much of a crowd. He can touch the sun.

    ------

    Or, the modern retelling of the fall of Icarus as told by WooSang at a strip club. Sensuality, ambition, and being the only one daring enough to reach out for the untouchable.
