Summary
In 1950, Dr. Lillian "Lily" Shaw becomes the first woman to serve as a government-appointed biological scientist-a position that costs her family, her reputation, and nearly her freedom. Disowned for refusing to return to the kitchen and distrusted by the men who surround her, Lily is sent deep into the Amazon Rainforest on a mission shrouded in secrecy.
Whispers speak of a creature-half-man, half-amphibian-worshipped as a god by the tribes who live along the river. The government wants answers. The military has built underwater gates and dams to trap him, massacring villages to secure his cage. The scientists are told to study. Lily is told to lead.

Almost Always, Almost Never | Kim Namjoon by OT7LOVE

Summary
He was the leader of the biggest boy band in the world.
Always in control. Always under the spotlight. Always composed.She was the opposite. Chaos in leather and ink, a lawyer with eyes like knives and no fear of burning bridges.
Ji-a didn't care about rules or reputations. She lived to destroy them.
She bled into places she shouldn't have, pulling him into choices that turned trust into jealousy and brotherhood into doubt.
Namjoon should have walked away. Instead, he let her pull him under.
With her, he wasn't the perfect leader, the untouchable idol, the man burdened by expectations. With her, he was stripped to nothing but raw want.
It wasn't love. It was lust dressed up as something close.
An addiction neither of them knew how to quit.They were fire and storm, devouring each other until nothing else mattered.
Not feelings. Not futures. Not even the wreckage they left behind.
Because sometimes the story isn't about happily ever after.
It is about the ruin you crave on the way down.Because some stories are not meant to end in forever.
They are meant to burn you alive."He ruled the stage, but she ruled his freedom."

Summary
After a quiet coffee break off-duty, Buck and Eddie return to the firehouse for their next shift, but the tension between them has shifted—charged with unspoken feelings and a closeness that neither can ignore. From clearing a dangerous tree from a car to tackling a high-rise fire, they face adrenaline-fueled calls that push their trust and teamwork to the limit.
In the locker room, quiet moments away from the chaos give them space to confront what’s been simmering all along: attraction, care, and the fear of admitting it. Each brush of a hand, each glance, builds an emotional intimacy that’s been slow to ignite but impossible to ignore.

Just the normal events of the anime with my oc thrown in the mix :> Plus some minor writing changes to make things a bit more fun for me. Like skipping some filler arcs to put more focus on the stuff that I wana put focus on
This anime/ manga has been such a comfort series for me as someone who also really struggled in middle school and just school in general. Young me always made up so many stories of herself interacting with the characters and me as an adult want to create a work that a younger me would be happy to read.

Summary
"Why are you doing this to me? Is my life really that worthless to you?" Yeonjun asked, his voice trembling as tears streamed down his face.
The Alpha bent down. His long, strong fingers wiped the droplets from Yeonjun's cheeks with an incredible tenderness that completely contradicted his cold words and cruel demeanor.
"Welcome to my hell."
Or
Yeonjun had sacrificed everything for his success, freedom, and independence. He had managed to stand on his own, without the shadow of an Alpha, until the past he had left behind and the bitter truths dragged him back into the very heart of the fire. To escape the fire, he ran back to the only arms that had ever felt like home—unaware that they would lead him into the real hell.
Mafia boss Soobin made a ruthless bargain with him to save his fiancée, presenting Yeonjun as a new target to his enemy. Now, Yeonjun is in the role of Soobin's fake fiancé—a dazzling yet worthless sacrifice waiting to be killed at any moment.
