Summary
The intercom announces the arrival at the next bus stop. Sakusa shifts in his position to let people squeeze by him as painlessly as possible. He looks at the person again, and his face is honestly hard to paint. In the space between them is the ether that emits the need for them to say something, just anything, one glance could last an entire score of words that could have been said, but in the five-second timeframe that lays out a chance, it all fritters away when the stranger with the toned blonde hair breaks eye contact and moves on his feet towards the exit.
For a short meeting with barely anything but exchanged glances, Sakusa has one too many thoughts to keep him up at night.

Summary
Suzuki Saeki is a boy whose life was turned upside down by two events — the suicide of his older sister and the meeting with a young scientist, Ishigami Senku. With their meeting, two kindred souls are linked by a thread called “science" — resistant like tungsten and strong like diamond.
Senku had always thought of him as a quiescent volcano with his slow and calm way of doing things, perpetually sleepy, but whose gaze managed to light up more than anything else when they talked about science. Saeki, for his part, had immediately found Senku’s unconditional love for that discipline interesting, even managing to include himself in those experiments of his without ever getting bored.
Ended up separated due to a series of events, it was a catastrophic situation that brought them together: a strange beam that petrified the whole humanity. The aforementioned meeting, however, took place between opposing sides.
What will they do? And who’s the one who petrified humanity?
This second "stone world" ended up changing the cards on the table, not only for the fate of human beings, but also for the feelings of the two scientists. -

Summary
Novelty shyness, or neophobia: nervous tendencies exhibited toward unfamiliar stimuli, often in direct conflict with a persistent curiosity surrounding the same stimulus. That was how it was described in animals, anyway.
Surely it could apply to people, too? Moving to Jinzhou left Quay with a sense of bewilderment and anxiety, an overwhelming fear of being helpless in a new place—in contrast with the understanding that familiarizing himself with the city was the single most effective solution. What if he didn’t know where something important was? What if he needed help and couldn’t figure out who to ask? If hit with multiple quandaries at once, perhaps these problems could spiral into each other and leave Quay trapped in one giant, unsurmountable conundrum…
But he could only conquer his fear by learning his way around. And so he did.

Summary
This a more thought out, better fleshed out version of an old story 'Come with me, down under the sea', a purely self indulgent piece that had once only tentacle smut in. Now, this has become more detailed and more than just smut. Cecaelias really fascinate me to be honest, I can't explain why, so I thought this would be really cool to write about and develop something from.
Slight disclaimer/warning: there is religious manipulation in this, this element to the story is not meant to be pointed or political or disrespectful to actual religious people, this is just something that I came up with and stuck with because I felt like it added more depth. Again, This is a piece of work that has religious elements that I mean NO DISRESPECT to religious people with. If you are offended or disrespected, then I'm sorry?? You could totally just click away if you want to, so....Anyway, pls enjoy and let me know your thoughts in the comments!
