    Summary

    Hey, mate. We never heard back from you about the upcoming NA tour. Did you and your lawyer get a chance to look everything over?

    III sighs, forcing himself to sit upright in spite of the ache in his back and the dizziness that threatens to turn into nausea the longer that he goes without water. Dehydration was always a pain in the ass, but after three straight nights of partying, his body is practically begging for relief. He eyes the text once again, re-reading it over and over until the full weight of the words sink in. Every text he ever receives from Vessel feels like a tether around his chest, and he can’t decide whether to pull free or suffocate quietly in compliance with his wishes.

    It reels him in closer to a self-image that he doesn’t want to recognize.

    The point is, III doesn’t want to go.

    -

    Eventual Vessel/III/II/IV!

    Summary

    Your boyfriend of a decade said moving to Mistria would solve everything. No more interference from your father, no more judgmental looks from old friends. Just you, him, and a fresh start on a farm far from everything you've ever known.

    But isolation cuts both ways. And when the local blacksmith shows you what gentleness actually looks like, you begin to realize that maybe the problem was never everyone else.

    Maybe the problem was never you.

    Summary

    Set in a somewhat futuristic society where slavery is prevalent. August, a slave originally from the dark underground city called (originally) the Dark City, is now owned by the CEO of a massive company. They have a peculiar bond that has come about due to their many years together. When their small world is thrown into upheaval, which truths will be freed, and which lies will last on forever?

    He leaned back against the cushion, one leg extended, one leg crooked at the knee, suit falling open to give Master a good view of most of his chest, one nipple poking out from under the fabric.
    It used to bother him, he remembered. Laying draped over something like a model on display. Like he actually wanted any of this. Now, even on the mornings where he was still naked in bed while Master moved about, he wasn’t overly upset. Like most of his humiliations, it was routine, and by now he was used to it.

    UPDATE: I am alive. I worked 52 hrs/week this summer and have been too tired to write. Regardless, I will try to get out some new chapters soon. I lost my notes but most of them were in my head anyway. Sorry for the long wait! Thanks to those of you who stuck around. I read every comment.

    Summary

    After Gojo's death and Sukuna's subsequent defeat, everything went back to normal - minus the fact that the higher ups were dead and everyone had gotten much stronger. Everyone but Megumi. He had been left behind. He has been unable to cope with Tsumiki's death, falling behind his classmates. An encounter with a 3rd-grade curse, along with the promise of seeing his sister again, leads him to meet and make a dubious agreement with Kenjaku.
    Kenjaku, on the other hand, needs the help of the strongest sorcerer to make his dream come true. Thus, Gojo must manoeuvre between getting Megumi back and dealing with Kenjaku in his own way (if you know what I mean...)
