    Summary

    They had a system.
    The lights stayed off. They were there, in case of emergencies or guests, but outside of those extenuating circumstances, they never turned on. On especially dark or cloudy nights, Kris cracked a glowstick and circled it around their wrist when they walked into the kitchen around 4:00 AM to make coffee after giving up on sleep for the night. Sometimes, the smell drew it out of its room; she'd come grab a cup, and they'd sip the hot, bitter liquid together in silent camaraderie. Usually, Kris drank the small pot alone.
    ...
    It feels selfish, like some violation of the silent pact they’ve made with themself, with Dess. An unspoken agreement to fade quietly from this world, to break away in little pieces over time, make their peace and let the others make theirs.
    ...
    They are warm. A hand on their wrist. Breath on their shoulder. Snores shaking the floor. They are comfortable, and safe, and loved, and somehow this is worse. Because the warmth isn't theirs in the same way the screams weren't theirs; because Kris is a quiet thing, a cold thing, and the pain belongs to them but the fire does not.

    (i.e. Kris and Dess are forced out of their downward spirals and learn to be loved.)

    Summary

    Yoo Joonghyuk went into the prison expecting to die.

    He did not expect to find someone worth living for instead.

    Kim Dokja has been buried underground so long he has never know the color of the sky. He laughs too easily for someone with nothing. Knows things he shouldn't. The guards won't look at him directly. And the mark over his heart burns in the dark like something that has been waiting a very long time.

    Joonghyuk tells himself it doesn't matter. That the man in the next cell is a means to an end. That whatever this is, it isn't something he needs to name.

    He has never been good at lying to himself.
    --------

    Some people are buried because the world fears what they might become. Joonghyuk doesn't care what Dokja might become. He just wants him to see the stars.

    Summary

    After transmigrating into a fantasy webnovel with the best world-building but worst plot he had ever seen, Kim Dokja removed himself from the story as much as possible to open an apothecary as far away as the System would allow. He has no need to be a part of a trashy romance where the soon-to-be-King spends his time killing monsters, sleeping with enough people to make other harem love interests' jaws drop, or killing anyone who rejects him or looks at him funny. At least the A/B/O thing is a minor plotline..

    So when the heroically injured protagonist turns up on his doorstep a little while before the main plot begins, Kim Dokja slams the door in Crown Prince Yoo Joonghyuk's face. (He resolves to do this every time the male lead comes back. Unfortunately, between him and the door, the door's breaking first.)

    {updates will be haphazardly scheduled-
    Hiatus for around 3 months (beginning in July) so that the author can have a decent upload schedule during the next arc. Originally 2 months, author increased hiatus due to a new understanding in workload outside of writing.}

    Summary

    Han Yoojin was never meant to exist in this story.
    He woke up inside an otome game he once played years ago, not as the hero, not even as a love interest, but as a nameless potion shopkeeper living quietly on the edge of the map.

    All he wanted was peace, a quiet life, a cup of tea in the morning, and maybe a small love that did not come with prophecies or pain.

    Then one rainy evening, a stranger walked into his shop.
    A man with golden hair, a warm smile, and a name that did not belong to any route in the game.

    And somehow, Yoojin’s peaceful world began to change.

    Summary

    In which Astrid got to the cove just a few minutes too late, and Hiccup had already left. In which, six years later, the dragon raids are a thing of the past, but now a madman with a dragon army is threatening Berk. In which Astrid, now heir to the Chiefdom, convinces Stoick to ask the mysterious Dragon Master for help.

    Hiccup obliges. It's his fight, after all.

    However, he may have forgotten to anticipate how hard it would be to prepare for war alongside his old friends and family without letting them know it was him. But then again, what other choice does he have?

    Toothless is finding the whole situation highly amusing.

    Useless reptile.
