    Summary

    Oxford Languages defines briar as “any of a number of prickly scrambling shrubs, especially the sweetbrier and other wild roses.”

    ***

    Briar Theodore Evans was born the 30th of January, 1960 at 8:32 pm. A whole 6 minutes before Lily Jane Evans, who followed at precisely 8:38 pm. This wasn’t how it was supposed to happen. At least, it’s not how Briar remembered it happening when he read the books. Not that there was much he could remember about Harry Potter’s parents anymore. It had been years and they were such a small part. . .

    Or

    Briar may’ve come preloaded with the memories of a 23 year old—who once held a close to encyclopedic knowledge of the Harry Potter Series—but that does little to actually help him become powerful enough to fight Voldemort. He’s only capable of so much while stuck with a child’s brain and forced to grow up in 1960s & 70s Cokeworth England. Not to mention his less than ideal socio-political positions in, not just one, but two new worlds.

    Struggling to gain enough power and knowledge to save Lily, Briar fights to reach his only life goal.

    If only other people would stop distracting him. . .

    Summary

    As a typical corporate employee struggling to find meaning, your monotonous life is turned upside down when you are sucked into a black hole and wake up in a different dimension—a surreal, futuristic version of Earth.

    Teetering on the edge of insanity after being trapped for days and thinking you were dreaming, you attempt to "wake up" by jumping off a cliff into the ocean, only to be forcefully pulled back by a feisty, purple-haired stranger. Your rescuer, an artist named Rafayel, mistakes you for a suicidal office worker and wonders why you seem so clueless about this world. Despite his suspicions, he decides to take you to his home for the night.

    In this strange place they call "Linkon City", you struggle to make sense of the world around you and figure out how to return home, all while keeping the secret of your origins and navigating a new, bizarre life as Rafayel's temporary housemate. Will you be able to find your way home? What happens when you start falling for your housemate, who seems to be hiding many secrets himself? And what happens when he unexpectedly awakens your long-buried dreams of being an artist like him?

    Summary

    Mo Ran's best friend (and crush) Shi Mei is suddenly transferring from Sisheng University, and Mo Ran is devastated. But when Shi Mei tells him that the reason he's leaving is because his doctoral supervisor came onto him, Mo Ran's heartbreak turns to rage.

    He's not even surprised. Former child prodigy Chu Wanning might seem as pure as driven snow, but no one is that monomaniacally ethical, that scrupulously altruistic, without hiding some big secret.

    Then, with his parting words, Shi Mei ruefully says that he might be believed if Chu Wanning had been inappropriate with some other student too... and Mo Ran has a brilliant idea.

    Summary

    Yuuji Itadori does not believe in magic— and he certainly does not believe in fate.

    In fact, he refuses to believe that the universe has some kind of big, grand plan for him and the plain, little life he lives in which he struggles to pay the bills, take care of his ailing grandfather, and keep his head down.

    Fate decides to prove him very, very wrong.
