Summary
Six years ago, December Holiday vanished without a trace...
After settling down for a sleepover with Kris, Susie wakes up with the worst headache of her life in the school's supply closet, with no idea of how she got there. Outside, she finds the entire town empty, with cars wrecked and abandoned on the street and nobody in sight. Trapped in the town, it begins to seem like she can't trust anything - not even her own mind. Worse still: she begins to realize that she is in love with Noelle, and has absolutely no idea how to confess it to her.
Lesbian romance & sci-fi psychological horror, and the worst of both worlds - Girls Night, Girls Purgatory, and Girls Hell

Summary
Giyuu Tomioka was supposed to be the quiet one.
Good grades, silent stares, always home before curfew. But that was before middle school ended. Before his mom’s overdose. Before he met Douma. Before the piercings, the drugs, the screaming, and the razor blades hidden in the bathroom drawer.Now he’s spiraling, and no one knows.
Well, almost no one. Sabito is starting to see it—the burns, the lies, the pain. And their father, Muzan, who’s always been a stone wall of power and fear, is about to realize too late that grief doesn’t just go away.In this Thirteen-inspired 2000s high school AU, trauma doesn’t hide forever. Not when it’s bleeding through your sleeves.
Featuring:
— Giyuu as a self-destructive trans teen
— Douma as the devil on your shoulder in lip gloss
— Sabito as the only one trying to hold everything together
— Muzan as a broken father who never learned how to love right
— And a cast of Hashira in the background who might be the light Giyuu needs⚠️ Heavy angst. Emotional whiplash. Healing isn’t linear. ⚠️

Summary
“You tried to jump off the bridge and you want to be a poet?” James laughed. “I’d say you’re halfway there. You know what happens when you know so much about the world like that. You go insane with the realness of it all, just like Plath.”
One day in the small midwest town of Blessing, Minnesota, nineteen-year-old Regulus stands on the edge of a railing in pouring rain, ready to jump, when he hears somebody shout from the bluffs. The voice belongs to James, a man just as deeply broken as Regulus is, who convinces him to take another path. With James' insistence, they slowly start to thread a life together, string by string, and Regulus finds himself, at last, wanting to live.

Summary
Teenagers just love to say "New school year, new me!" every time August comes, and their summers full of no responsibilities come to an end. Most teenagers lie when they say it, too. But not Kwon Jiyong. Nope. Because, you see—Kwon Jiyong was a bad child. A bad child who did what he wanted, when he wanted to, and didn't give a shit what anybody else had to think of it.
But that was until his father had enough of it.
Now rolling into senior year, Jiyongs practically a changed man. A changed man with the same killer fashion sense, of course. He’s kind of hoping to lay low, get the final year of high school over with: but things are never easy.
Because then enter Choi Seunghyun.
Aka a slow burn of GTOP in the alternate universe of a high school setting! It’s dramatic, I will say. And may I add Hs AUs are my specialty? Yeah. Just wanted to throw that in there heh.

Summary
I like how your voice sounds. Jeongguk wants to say but doesn’t. Instead, he whispers, “I think I know that song.”
Taehyung nods in acknowledgement and continues to hum. At some moments, he opts for singing the melody and keeps his thick lashes fluttered towards the lonesome bugs on the ground.
Are the stars out tonight?
I don’t know if it’s cloudy or bright.
I only have eyes for you, dear.——
Kim Taehyung doesn't know how to handle his feelings towards the new kid in town.
After being sent out west for his delinquent behavior, Jeon Jeongguk can't stop running into a boy who is all tan skin and shy eyes.

Summary
Gale was innocent. He’d never asked for this. He simply had the misfortune of being born to a father who did not want him, followed by the greater misfortune of growing up with one who did.
John knew this and accepted it. He loved him, the beautiful boy who slept on a sofa in caravan seventeen. He loved him so much it burned but he couldn’t help the fact that sometimes, when it was very quiet, he sort of felt like all of this was his fault.
+++
John is a burnout who works at a fish and chip shop and moonlights as a small-time drug dealer. Gale is the mysterious kid who just moved into the local caravan park with his dad. It should have been simple. It was not.

Summary
There’s no real glory in having the biggest, fattest crush on the one guy the whole school agrees is a complete scumbag, but the heart wants what it wants, and Yelena wants him bad. Which is, honestly, so embarrassing. She has so many things to do, homework piling up on her desk, a whole cheer routine to learn by the end of the week, her mom needs her to clean up the attic – fuck, her dad asked her to take the car to the mechanic two weeks ago – and somehow, Yelena decided that the best way to spend her Tuesday night is stalking the only boy she knows who doesn’t give a crap about her.

Summary
Stanley Pines is perfectly content to no longer be a twin: no matter that he’s entirely alone on his little sailboat, no matter that he hasn’t spoken to his mother in seven years, no matter that he can’t look at a magazine or television anymore because he sees his face— or rather, the face of his brilliant, talented, rich, inventor brother, Stanford. Stan is perfectly fine to roam the cold waters of either coast, depending on the year, and count down the days until he drowns .
Then Stan gets a call from Dr. Pines’ business partner and fellow eclectic inventor, William Cipher. He’s missing, Cipher says. You’re the only one that can help me, Cipher says.
Stanley thought he was content to no longer be a twin— but he finds himself in the unnervingly quiet seaside town of Gravity Falls, Oregon, nonetheless. The town is one of choked mystery and rotting intrigue; shadowed by William and haunted by his own brother’s strange house that seems to have a heartbeat of its own, Stan reverts back to one of his oldest talents: treasure hunting. In trying to save the future of CipherTech, however, Stan begins to drudge up the past: and battered between the two of them, he may not come out the other side.
