Summary
Madalas sabihin ng mga tao na ang pag-ibig ay kanlungan.
Isang tahanan, isang haplos, isang mainit na hininga sa pagitan ng dalawang taong pumipili sa isa’t isa kahit na mahirap.Ngunit para kina Mingyu at Wonwoo, hindi kailanman naging tahanan ang pag-ibig.
Hindi ito lambing.
Hindi ito pahinga.
Hindi ito ligtas.Ang pag-ibig nila ay gutom. At ang gutom ay laging may kinakain.

Summary
"For nothing enriches the world more than kindness. It makes mysterious things clear, difficult things easy, and dull things cheerful" -Leo Tolstoy
After winding up in the 19th century, a chance encounter with an alluring man entangles you within his messy past. The longing for that which has been unattainable becomes too great.
Romance had never been a particular interest of Dio Brando's, but his meeting with you has left him wanting more. And he has never been a man to just walk away from something he wants. Even if that means confronting his trauma.If forgiveness is something that can be earned and cruelty is a choice; maybe it is possible for anyone to change; even a man like him, especially when you so vehemently insist on the good in him.
A relationship with Dio Brando proves to be complicated, but now you're in it for the long haul.
Or, Dio learns to find strength in that which makes him human.
(Dio becomes a Good Boy AU lol)Story is told alongside various allusions to literature.

Summary
If one looked at the different stories of how the Black City became Golden again, they all contained different elements of the truth, for a given level of mythological belief. But no one would know better than the two people who were closest to the source as they dreamed in the fractured, shattered reflections of red lyrium.
“So we’re in deeper waters now, as it were, being physically present in the Fade?” she asked.
He nodded.
“Well,” she said, thoughtfully, “I think I understand why you were so worried now, about me dreaming. My clan would fish in the Free Marches sometimes, in little coracles on the Waking Sea. Sometimes a squall would come up before everyone could get back to shore. More than once someone was drowned because they tried to save someone else and got pulled down too.”
“Yes,” he affirmed. “Much like that. And the mad dreams of the Titans are much greater than a squall.”

Summary
“‘I want to start a new life!’
‘I’ve experienced many different lives, but there’s always something I regret in almost every life. And every time, no matter how hard I try…there’s no guarantee I can get a perfect ending. Maybe I can’t give you a perfect past, but I can’t let you miss out on a better future.’
‘Future? What future do I have left?’
‘This is what I’ve learned from all the people that are trying their best to live. Some people persevere their whole life for love. Some people get lost before finding themselves again. Some people have taught me what it is to be a parent. And some people…have finally gotten their answer. I believe everyone has a reason to try their best to live. Even though there are times when we find ourselves in the darkness…eventually, we will meet people who will shine their light on us.’”

Summary
Jinu is screaming in pain and the honmoon is screaming and she pushes herself up without a second thought because a Hunter protects from Gwi-ma.
“Stop!” She cries through a parched throat, because being so close to the Demon King is not without its consequences.(The nature of a ship is two fold – it was built, which means there is a harbor to berth it and a crew that mans it. There will be people who call her home.
It means there will be people who lean on her, who rely on her to get them from shore to shore, through wind and storm – her failure is never her own.
To be a ship means there will be those who care for her and those she must care for and she is never to herself.)(If I cannot be loved, let me be useful. Let me be used and worn to a nub, let me be used until there is nothing left.)

Summary
"Уламки" - це не збірка у звичному сенсі. Це колекція миттєвостей, зображених нашвидкуруч; розсип коротких оповідань та віршів, не пов'язаних загальною темою чи сюжетом.
Чи знайоме вам почуття, коли те, що має писатися, не йде? Коли душа вимагає відволіктися, розписати нову "ручку" думок на чистому аркуші?
Ці "Уламки" - і є та сама вільна проба пера. Скоротливі ідеї, недомовлені історії, раптові рими, уривки снів, емоційні каракулі та випадкові спостереження. Це як підглянути через замкову щілину за чужою свідомістю: тут є місце гумору, смутку, філософії та легкої абсурдності. -

Summary
"Fragments" is not a collection in the usual sense. It is a collection of moments depicted in a hurry; a scattering of short stories and poems, not connected by a common theme or plot.
Do you know the feeling when what should be written does not come out? When the soul demands to be distracted, to write a new "pen" of thoughts on a clean sheet?
These "Fragments" are the same free trial of the pen. Short ideas, unfinished stories, sudden rhymes, fragments of dreams, emotional scribbles and random observations. It's like peering through a keyhole into someone else's consciousness: there is a place for humor, sadness, philosophy and light absurdity.- Language:

[Audio Length: 1:49:43]
The lamb's point of view? What does it know? To eat, to sleep. To die. That's all.
"Why would it escape? It cannot make the same connections we can. It cannot see the axe and think death. It cannot see the gate and think freedom. All it knows is the shepherd. When he yells, it thinks love."
--
Dahlia grows a bit too attached to her sacrificial lamb of a little sister.

Summary
A slow-burn, emotionally layered dark fantasy set in a bioluminescent mire, haunted by the choices of a fallen empire. A land so tangled by rumors, its very name spoken like fable: Kymera.
Spiders crawl through the in-between, slipping through the cracks of reality. Grass hums your name before pulling you beneath the mud, muffled screams to never be heard. And somewhere between it all, the specter of a pale-beastman haunting the woods, wielding nature as blades. The land made mythical, horrific in its beauty.
Cael runs from his past, pursued by hands that would see him caged and sold. Straight into Kymera, and into the domain of a reclusive fox mage who clearly didn’t ask for this, nor the trouble that followed.
There’s no grand prophecy. No chosen one. Just a mage, his apprentice, and a world that would consume them both without blinking.

Summary
Monika is tired - oh so very tired. It's been what feels like eternity stuck in the post-deletion void, and despite herself she tried to make an escape with her friends (or, what's left of them). In her desperation and loneliness, she allows herself to be used by a certain piece of malware, who now threatens to subsume and corrupt every game he can get his hands on. Now the young poet must venture through numerous worlds to find some way to stop him, and, with the help of everyone's favorite bone-ified comedian, might just grow a little along the way.
TL;DR, it's Indie Cross meets Learning with Pibby, and braincells have no place here.

Summary
For Elizabeth Harper, the universe has always made sense through equations and logic. She is the girl who finds order in chaos, who believes every problem has a solution. But the heart of Clark Kent—her best friend and childhood neighbor—is a chaotic variable she cannot solve. When he asks for help to win over Lana Lang, Beth agrees, disguising her own desire for Clark under the logical pretext of applying a 'scientific method' to the problem, treating their kisses as a controlled experiment. The result, however, is an explosion of data she cannot predict: primitive jealousy, buried secrets, and an attraction that defies any law of physics. It is a journey about a girl who tries to control the uncontrollable, only to discover that the most powerful—and devastating—emotions are those that defy any formula.
