Summary
Just one night, just one chance meeting, could that possibly be enough to overturn a lifetime of training? How could one night disrupt everything Roxas had thought he had known about himself, destroy the carefully-crafted illusion he held of the world? Well, it can't. It won't. He won't let it happen. He knows his role, and this vampire will not change anything.
AUTHOR NOTE: Updates are on hiatus indefinitely as I've decided to switch to finishing the whole story before posting new chapters. This story is not abandoned, but I don't know when updates will resume. Currently posted chapters may be changed by the time posting resumes, but I'll leave them as they are for now. Thank you for your patience!

There’s another huff of quiet laughter, then sheets rustling, and then all is quiet. Mu Qingfang’s ears are hot, his breath caught in his throat, and he feels an intrusive ache in his chest thinking about the familiarity between them, the level of intimacy, Mu Qingfang intruding on it —
They sound happy.

Summary
Eliott Demaury has been on the run for the past eight years of his life, but he's tired of running.
He lives in a world where Gods take human vessels, and on his eighteen birthday, he was marked to be the reincarnation of Hades, God of the Dead. His mother, foreseeing what a terrible toll it would take on her son to have to live in the Underworld for the rest of his life, a place without sunlight or change, sacrificed herself to hide his powers from the Fates, the terrifying entities who handle all the Gods' business on Earth. Before dying she told him one thing : don't look for your Persephone, because once you find her, you will not be able to resist your calling.
And ever since then, he's been working as a lowly exorcist, casting out the restless dead instead of guiding them. But this loneliness is, well, killing him. So he decides to take a job in New Athens, in the anonymity of the big city, for a rich CEO who has a ghost problem.
He tells himself that one night out at a club can't hurt that much, right ? And after that he will be too busy, anyway...
He should have known. Fate always finds a way.

Summary
Because having Penelope’s attention, her eyes focused on you and only you, is something terribly intoxicating. It’s a rush, addicting, because Penelope knew, had always known, how to make you feel as if you are the only person in the room. As if you’re special, seen and heard and valued, just with a glance. It had unnerved Hope when they were younger and still does, knowing Penelope’s focused on her. Just like she is now, watching Hope silently, her eyes dark and tempting.
Hope wonders fleetingly about her destiny, if Landon is her soulmate, her twin flame, if she burned only for him, if—

Summary
Shortly after Sentinel Prime's death at the hands of Megaton, Orion Pax reveals himself as the bearer of the true Matrix. Now Optimus Prime, he reinstates the ancient, long-abandoned position of Lord Protector of Cybertron, hoping that the gesture of sharing his power will begin a new, more just era for Cybertron's government.
Megatron puts in a petition for the Lord Protector position, only intending to make a statement about the hypocrisy of the current government. However, when Optimus Prime accepts his controversial petition, he finds himself with a completely unimagined opportunity to revolutionize Cybertron-- as one of its two most prominent heads of state.
He and Optimus Prime are allies of convenience, nothing more. However, as time goes on and their enemies advance ever closer, could their political marriage become a true bond? Will Optimus' influence steer Megatron away from his path towards tyranny? Can Megatron convince Optimus of the necessity of violence for freedom?
Can they trust that the other's words match his intentions, or will their partnership fall apart-- and Cybertron with it?

Summary
He’d been all tall stature, long limbs, and Welsh lilt, with honeyed curls and amber eyes, face perfectly coated with a mandala of freckles and a myriad of scars that disappeared below his collar and snaked out of all the free places of the B&B blouse he wore. Sirius hated it, and hated him.
OR
Sirius is an artist, Remus is a barista, and the two of them have the fattest load of communication issues ever known to man. And James Potter and Lily Evans are the highlight of everything.

Summary
“I’m sorry.”
It was a plea for everything to turn out fine, but he was sure he wouldn’t be so lucky.
Castiel’s body felt like a weight had been lifted only to be replaced with a heavier one. Like he was drowning and got to the surface, catching one last breath before sinking for good.
He couldn't shake this feeling of remorse, and he knew it would never leave him. He just couldn’t stop thinking how he could have prevented all of it had he been less selfish.
“I’m sorry,” he’d said, as if it explained everything.
“I tried.”
As if having done so could take the other’s pain away.
“I don’t.”
And when Castiel walks away, he doesn’t dare to look back.
He just kept walking, putting more and more distance between him and the one that had loved him up until that moment.
And even if leaving meant he left yet another piece of himself behind so be it, he wouldn’t miss it anyway. He was so far from being whole that it didn’t matter anymore.
