    Summary

    “What, like—when Cheetahs get emotional support dogs?” Tim still sounds groggy. “I’m your emotional support human?”

    “More like, ’bonded pair, do not separate.’” Kon mutters. “They want me to acclimate to my enclosure.”

    Or: Kon and Tim get kidnapped for display in an alien zoo. They only really wanted Kryptonians, but Kon manages to get the zookeepers to believe the human he came with is necessary for his general well-being.

    It only gets worse from there.

    Summary

    As an incredibly talented collegiate diver and one of two captains for the University of Tokyo’s extremely successful Swim and Dive team, Fushiguro Megumi has no time for distractions. He’s far too busy with grueling practices, demanding courses, and an insanely complicated family life to spend time on foolish things like cute guys or, god forbid, romance. He needs to keep his head in the game so he can lead his team to their fourth national title in five years, thereby ensuring he doesn’t make a fool of himself or make his team regret voting him in as the youngest captain their university has ever seen.

    So, he’s got no time for romance. Especially when the guy trying to woo him is the captain of the men’s water polo team (the very same team that cost them the title two years ago), and especially when that captain is the most frustratingly perfect idiot he’s ever met, one Itadori Yuuji.

    —

    Or, immovable object (way too serious collegiate dive star Megumi) meets unstoppable force (way too sexy water polo team captain Yuuji). Hilarity ensues.

    Summary

    “You come over when I tell you to. No other times, meaning you never get to ask me if you can come over. You can sleep with whoever else you want, but you have to get tested every couple of weeks and we’re always going to use condoms. Even when you’re not putting it in, because I hate making a mess.” 

    “I can do that.” 

    “And no one will ever know about this. Not now, not after it ends. It stays between us.” Suguru says, his hands moving to cup Satoru’s face and pull him closer. “You think you can manage that?”

    Satoru grins. “I’ll do whatever you want me to.”

    “Good.” Suguru murmurs, a shadow of a smile ghosting over his face as he closes the gap between them. “Because right now, I want you to do me.”

    Satoru and Suguru meet at a party. They do their best to make sure no one finds out.

    Summary

    Zuko had never excelled at anything. Azula was a prodigy. Uncle always knew what to say. And Father... Father was strong, iron-like. But Zuko had only ever been good at surviving. Putting one foot in front of the other in a grim show of stubborn determination, gritting his teeth and bearing it. Survival was all he had ever been taught. He knew how to do it. So when he was kidnapped by the Southern Water Tribe, he expected to fight as he always had. He didn’t expect to be taught instead how to live.

    In a warring land, the Water Tribe forgave the enemy in an act of defiance. For this, he was torn from them, and this time, his wounds won't heal so easily.

    Forced back into nothing but survival, the last person Zuko expected to see was Hakoda's son. Hakoda was a promise of safety. The relentless blue of Sokka’s eyes was a promise of happiness. Zuko could have both if he just reached out his hands, but he found them clutching into fists. After all, he’d been burned one too many times.

    But hey, at least between Hakoda and Sokka, Zuko could appreciate the family resemblance of pure, asinine stubbornness.
