Summary
Jin Guangyao is used to being overlooked, but not quite like this.
“No,” Lan Huan decides after a moment. “But you will have to sacrifice something, I’m afraid.”
Jin Guangyao blinks at him and sets the cup back onto the saucer, careful to keep it from clinking too loudly. “Something like what?” He asks.
“Nothing you can’t live without, I think,” He says. “Something you might miss, for a while.”

Summary
Please, keep in mind that the rating has changed (from M to E) due to the last chapter!
He has always despised that idiotic frenzy that seemed to regularly pollute every little part of the Pride Ring, making it disgustingly and sickeningly sweet, with pink color literally everywhere and hundreds of hearts adorning every shop window along the flower and chocolate stands on every corner of Hell.
When one day, during his usual on-air letter reading taking place by the end of his radio broadcast, he receives a mysterious, elegant envelope addressed directly to him, it immediately piques his interest, standing out from the ocean of many other, less than appropriate ones to say the least.
He didn’t consider, though, how much impact it would have on his sanity before he decides to open and read the note.
Or, Alastor thinks he has it all figured out, trying to prove to everyone (himself included) that he doesn't care for poetry or this idiotic holiday called Valentine's Day until he acquires a secret admirer who very much shakes all of his convictions to the core.
This fic was written for the radioapple Valentine's Week 2025 in a form of one story, containing the event's prompts.

Summary
“Sometimes, I’m not sure this is what I want."
“This?” Jimin lets the words settle in him. “You mean…”
“Yeah,” Yoongi finishes for him. “The wedding, the marriage, the…” it’s Yoongi’s turn to trail off this time. “Sometimes it just doesn’t feel right, doesn’t feel like…”
“All I want,” Jimin whispers, “is for you to be happy.”
It’s not a lie. Jimin just wishes Yoongi could be happy with him.
“Thank you, Jimin-ah,” Yoongi whispers. “I’m sorry for being so…”
“It’s okay,” Jimin replies, when Yoongi doesn’t finish. “I’m here for you.”
What are best friends for?
Yoongi snuggles closer, face tucked into Jimin’s neck. “I love you, Jimin-ah.”
Jimin doesn’t let himself cry, no matter how much he wants to. He holds Yoongi close, listens to his hyung’s breathing even out as he drifts to sleep. Yoongi’s words replay in his head, I love you.
-OR-
Jimin has been hiding his unrequited love for his best friend for years. But when Yoongi is getting married, a trip away for his bachelor party crumbles all of Jimin’s carefully held control.

Summary
“I’m thinking about starting a podcast so everyone has a chance to have their voice heard. What do you think?”
“I think,” Peter begins, grabbing her hand, “that it’s a great idea, and I will help you with whatever you want. I can run your Twitter account for you.”
“I can run my own account,” MJ laughs a little, but she asks again: “You don’t think it’s a bad idea? It’s just so unreliable, and I know I said I’d help with the mortgage and this isn’t the fixed income—”
“Hey, it’s okay,” Peter reassures her. “If this is what you want to do, then I don’t see why it wouldn’t be a great idea. I’ll help you gain traction. Not to brag, but I know a guy with almost twenty million Twitter followers.”
“Oh, yeah. The real reason I date you. Spider-Man Twitter clout.”
“Wow, I totally meant this guy called BKLYNSpider42, but I see how it is!”
After everything dies down, MJ and Peter need to come to terms with their 'new normal' - and how that affects them.

Summary
Maren Vale came here to escape the wreckage of a small-town scandal and the ghosts of a corrupted sheriff’s office. Dr. Zayne’s been buried under his own backlog—paperwork, bodies. Together, they’re learning that silence can be its own language… and that control doesn’t always look like restraint.
She wasn’t supposed to love Boston. She came to disappear quietly, bury herself in night shifts, cold rooms, and the predictable order of the dead. But her first night at the morgue doesn’t go according to plan.
Dr. Zayne was the last person she expected to see again after that FetLife meetup. The one where he said almost nothing, but somehow left her rethinking every inch of space between obedience and choice.
Now, under the bright lights and stainless steel of the autopsy suite, that same quiet tension follows them. What began as a professional pairing starts to feel like a test of composure, respect, and something neither of them are ready to name.

Summary
After the devastating Fourth Great Ninja War, Naruto Uzumaki finds herself adrift, struggling with loneliness and the burden of her past victories. With the tailed beasts still residing within her, she leaves the Hidden Leaf Village and embarks on a journey across the world, searching for peace and a renewed sense of purpose. However, years of wandering only deepen her isolation, and the weight of her memories becomes too much to bear.
Recognizing Naruto’s despair, the tailed beasts conspire to give her a second chance at happiness. Combining their powers, they send her back in time to an era before her birth, altering her lineage so that she is reborn as a child of the Senju and Uzumaki clans. In this new timeline, Naruto retains all her memories and abilities but is freed from the expectations and burdens that once defined her life.
As new alliances form and old enemies rise, Naruto will soon realize that even with a second chance, some things are destined to happen—while others are meant to be rewritten.
The story starts a little slow, but give it a chance! It gets better!
