Summary
Six years ago, Hongjoong's life changed forever thanks to a faulty brake system and a drunk asshole. Now, bitter and intolerable, he travels the world with his camera living through the only lens of beauty he can find until he eventually kicks the bucket.
Enter Seonghwa, the quiet and observant librarian in the latest small town Hongjoong passes through. He's been looking for a reason to feel more alive and something about looking at Hongjoong is like standing on a live wire. He's entranced.
There is something about this that very much feels like two immovable objects on a course to crash.

Summary
The trauma of a summer day, really, is quite opposite that of a winter night. One dissolves and the other does not; a winter death is prolonged, buried under layers of snow and sweaters and knit fabric. A summer death is a drop in the ocean, the swatting of a bug off an arm. It is summer and the bodies are baked in sunscreen, bug spray, and the scent of humid rot. A winter body is found intact, treaded over and frozen. A summer body is found rotten and swollen, festering with life. Really, what is more different than preservation and decay?
Or: two cults are found out by the FBI. On a wild goose chase, a neurotic agent and an art-loving psychologist fall into something very much like love, and two ex-cult members of dubious moral standing also fall in love. Together, they make a perfect happy family!

Summary
"This is Amun Academy. Liverpool’s finest breeding ground for the rich, the ambitious, and those whose parents either have a lot of money — or work for someone who does. There’s no middle ground here. You’re either eating caviar or flipping burgers at the corner shop. I’m the type who prefers knowing who’s cheating on who — or who’s lying about their alibis."
When Joy Mercer mysteriously disappears from Amun Academy, Patricia Williamson is determined to find out what happened. Instead of going it alone, she turns to Victoria Mars, the daughter of a private investigator and an expert at solving mysteries. With Victoria’s sharp instincts and P.I. skills, the girls start to unravel the secrets hidden within the walls of Anubis House—secrets far more dangerous than they ever imagined.
You don't need to watch Veronica Mars to read this fanfiction. The only things that are taken from Veronica Mars are the last name (Mars), Veronica's sassy and cynical personality, and the idea of the teenage private eye in school.

Summary
I don’t do ‘people.’ I do caffeine, sarcasm, and pretending I’ve got my life together. The world’s a little too loud, a little too fake, and a lot too much, so I keep my head down and my walls up. The universe is a joke, and I’m just waiting for the punchline. My grades are crap, my social life doesn’t exist, and the only thing I’ve got to look forward to is my next cup of coffee—or maybe the next time everything falls apart, because at least then I won’t have to pretend things are perfect. If I’m lucky, maybe the universe will cut me a break. But I’m not holding my breath.
