Summary
It’s been so long, you’ve forgotten to expect it. And yet, there it is: a dusty, faded flower, sitting pretty on your doorstep. The thing’s face is withered, nearly gray instead of purple, and a simpler you could write that off as the cause of your delay in recognition if the thing wasn’t so distinctive, and that makes it denial, and isn’t that so much worse?
A little necklace adorns the thing; thin string punched through cream-colored paper, the corners folded just-so. A wax seal you might recognize, but coordinates you don’t, at least not from here, so you lean in for a closer look. You pick up the flower, and something in your mind whitens. The fuzz of the stem prickles at your thumb, just like so many kisses, and that- that is when his voice comes up, dread-warmth in your ear.
“For bonny sweet Robin is all of my joy.”

Or, what happens when a demon of Eliot's past refuses to be outrun.

Summary
“Good communication is the cornerstone of any successful relationship,” he recites painfully, careful not to inflect it with any of his current frustration.
This finally makes Art look at him, blinking owlishly. “Who told you that?”
“Ask Jeeves,” Patrick answers lamely.
Art snorts. At last, he pauses the game.
“I think it’s called Ask.com now.”
Or, Patrick is 23. He's 12 and he's 29 and he's 21 and he's 18 and he's 25 and he's 14 and he's lost and he's found and he's hopelessly, devastatingly in love with his best friend.

Summary
There are three things you don’t do in the Airmail, three unspoken rules carved deep into the mind of every pilot. First, you don’t fly at night. Second, you don’t cross the Andes by the south. Third, you don’t fall in love with the cute brown eyed boy from Santiago’s station.
The question never was whether Rosie would break one of these rules, but which one he would break first.

Summary
Of all of Alther Mella's children, Silas was the one who understood him best. He didn't mind it, when the old man's eyes went distant and he spoke of impossible things and people he'd never met. He didn't mind telling him that "Marcia" wasn't there, even if he'd never known a Marcia in his life. He quite enjoyed Alther's rambling memories, even if they didn't match up with any life he'd ever lived. He was happy to usher Alther up a hundred staircases a day, when his old dad forgot that he couldn't simply tell the steps to do it for him.
It wasn't his fault. It was simply the universe playing a cruel joke, Silas thought, for Alther's memories to pretend that Septimus was still alive.

Summary
Now, all of that was gone. Complete silence. Unable to communicate, to send each other cute messages. The only way Kirino could still see his best friend was through mementos. He would look with nostalgia at the selfies they took together. He would listen to the recordings of Takuto playing on his piano, and remember how he felt, laying on the couch, eyes closed, enveloped in the melody of his best friend's soul.
Memories of what is gone hurt the most.
Kirino contemplates his best friend's absence and remembers the most important moments they shared together.Series

Obviously, there's no telling why, because Tenna can't really move, hear or... see. Are we sure he's alive? Can someone throw something at hi- oh... I didn't mean a whole garbage bag... Thanks Spamton, you really... helped here. Asshole.
And so Spamton finds his old... coleague. yep. This will definitely end well.
And don't forget the humble me! I'll be your narrator, sweetheart. For a better experience, of course. You might get to chat with me, but the author is quite... cranky, when i go off script.

Summary
Under less than ideal circumstances, Lan Xichen finally begins living with the woman he’s been pining over for years—the same woman who has rejected his clumsy attempts at courting time and time again. While living in close proximity, they unwittingly bond and things left buried find their way out while a war simmers in the background; and the enemy keeps knocking on her door.
And mysteries are stirring in the shadows of the cultivation world, demanding to be looked at and exposed:
What really happened to Madam Lan? Or Wei Changze and Cangse Sanren? Is Jiang Fengmian as benevolent as he seems? How much does Nie Huaisang know? Is the Lan Family Curse just a rumor? How did this lead to war?
And, at the center of it all: Who is Lu Aixia?

Summary
She calls him Nicky, Nicky Poo, things like that, and he knows it’s to create a bit of distance.
He doesn’t mind. At some point, frankly, he forgets about it. He’s a little preoccupied, anyway. By Belle-A, and Cierra, and briefly there by Iris. And she has Taylor. There’s some bumpiness with those two, at the start, but they seem happy enough now. Besides, Taylor’s one of his closest friends in here, so - whatever.
He’s able to forget about her entirely, really, beyond the challenges. He tells himself that, anyway.
or,
Olandria and Nic get a night in the hideaway before returning to the villa. -

Summary
Holding a mirror up to a mirror, one notices that it doesn't continue on infinitely. It warps, slightly, and gains a greener tint as the image is bounced back and forth. Imperfections and impurities in the mirrors are magnified to a degree that makes them plainly noticeable, just by the presence of it's own reflection.
(A roleswap AU. Ritsu ⇌ Shou, Reigen ⇌ Serizawa, Mob ⇌ Teru. I’m not sure how to summarize this tbh just trust me I guess.)
