    Summary

    Will Solace has enough problems. Between juggling two jobs, surviving pre-med classes, and making sure his roommates don’t burn down their Harlem apartment, the last thing he needs is a hopeless crush on campus legend Nico di Angelo.

    But try telling that to his heart.

    Nico and his rich, mysterious, ridiculously good-looking best friends (affectionately dubbed “Nico and the Seven” by students who can only dream of being that cryptic) are the stuff of gossip and wild rumours. Mafia ties? Maybe. Vampire coven? Sure. Time travelers from an alternate dimension? Definitely plausible.

    Will’s sure he’s never stood a chance… until a spilled drink, a cigarette on a balcony, and one very unexpected dinner invitation send him spiralling into Nico’s orbit. Now he’s stuck somewhere between flirting and a full-blown existential crisis.

    Because falling for Nico di Angelo was not part of Will’s academic plan; and he’s about to learn that extra credit doesn’t cover emotional disasters.

    Summary

    Nobody knows him. That's a fact. Walking around like a dead husk, or a memorial, some even see him as an ornament, it's apparent that nobody really pays attention to the Water Hashira. Or if they do, it's usually for a negative reason. But as the Hashira emphasize and become more serious in being a group of friends, rather than comrades, the path to take this route may open the shadowy and painful past of one of their most misunderstood Hashira. One that may bring guilt, shock, annoyance, anger, or all at once to the Pillars. And so, why is Giyu so closed off? So mysterious? Why are most of his records erased? There's a lot of digging that needs to be done.

    Summary

    Sound was warping in Noctis’ ears. An alarm was blaring, but it faded in and out of the background, ebbing and flowing like the ocean tide. Footsteps pounded outside the tiny cell, yelling, screaming. Was there screaming? Or was it the alarm? The sound of gun shots. More yelling.

    The door to the cell banged open.

    ”Over here! I found him!” Footsteps. “Noct! Noct! Oh gods, please don’t be dead.”

    Noctis tried to move, but his body had failed him long ago. At this point, he was just waiting for death to come.

    There were fingers on his wrist. A huge breath of air.

    ”Oh thank the Astrals. He’s alive.”

    More running footsteps.

    ”Is he -?”

    ”Still alive.”

    More sighs of relief.

    ”Who is that?”

    ”I have no idea.”

    Summary

    Arden suggests Efnisien deepens his BDSM relationship with Kadek, while he's away on rope and shibari workshops overseas for 5 weeks. Both Efnisien and Kadek are surprised at how quickly and deeply they fall into a challenging, intimate bond together.

    (Part of the Falling Falling Stars universe and won't make a ton of sense without it, unless you just like dominance and submission, and then you'll do okay, lol)
