Summary
6 years after they met, it starts off again with what to Dazai is hopeless hope, and to Chuuya, a cruel joke. Because...what if they weren't on good terms after Dazai defected? Even after the truce?
They both have trust issues with trust issues with trust issues, and they both accidentally broke promises long ago.
Broken, they build it back up. Until the ability that Dazai was hit by comes into the picture.
(Originally "Silent Vows" or "All I Need is One Promise", author can't decide on a title 😓)
(Currently under some rewriting; not abandoned.) -

Summary
Nobody ever thought their name would be the one that gets called from all the ones in the large glass ball during the reaping. Chan was just like everybody else, knowing it was a possibility, but never really thinking it would be him.
Until it was. And suddenly, he was thrust into a world of glitz and glamour, just to be tossed into an arena of death a few short days later with only one person to remind him of home—Felix, the omega Chan had helped save years earlier.
Or, Chan and Felix brave the Hunger Games.

Summary
our father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
thy kingdom come, thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
give us this day our daily bread.
and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:
for thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever.
amen.matthew 6:9-13

Summary
"How long are ya gonna stay there, 'Tsumu?"
Just a minute, or maybe hours, maybe days. Atsumu doesn't know; he only keeps returning to his favorite restaurant. Osamu's onigiris are exceptional, and his brother’s shop always warms his heart. But this place fills a different ache—a longing he can't name.
Maybe he'll stay here, maybe not. The future is uncertain, and his love for Kiyoomi is too.

Summary
"No one appreciated the presence of the Donut Dollies more than the troops on the remote firebase. Minutes spent talking about home or sports or music or wives and girlfriends with a fresh-faced American girl with a pony tail wearing a tinge of lipstick and a splash of perfume was a terrific morale boost." - The Army Historical Foundation
~~~
Marigold's job is simple. Be a friendly face for the boys on the Long Walk. Talk with them, walk with them. Be their friend, entertain their flirting, and be the angel on their shoulders telling them to push on. She's whatever the boys want her to be. But under no circumstances is she allowed to break the facade. No tears. No crying. No fear.

Summary
It’s bad in every way a restaurant can possibly be bad, but mostly because the kitchen cannot cook decent food. Any meal at this hermetic, self-regarding restaurant brings a protracted march of bland, tepid dishes.
This restaurant is soulless, overpriced, and (curiously!) still manages to be packed. Perhaps its diners are masochists. Or perhaps London has finally embraced nihilism, culinary or otherwise.
Percy Weasley is London’s most feared food critic. One poor review from him can make or break a young chef's career. He’s known for his razor-sharp palate, brutal honesty, and the fact that he’s never once in eight years given a single five-star review. People say he hates food. He doesn't. He just hates bad food.
All Oliver Wood wanted to do was play professional football. But after a career-ending injury, he pours his energy into cooking. His soft-opening for his passion project restaurant The Pitch is off to a quiet start. That is, until a striking redhead walks in and agrees to be the first customer to try his food.

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.)
