Summary
“Izuku, why are you wearing makeup? Who are you trying to impress at 1:30 in the afternoon on a Tuesday?” Realization crosses her face. “Izuku, I told you to leave that boy alone. He’s got work to do, and he’s too old for you anyways.”
“Mamaaaaaa,” Izuku whines again. “He’s only a year older...”
“Izuku, you just presented. You and I both know there’s big changes that happen in that year.” Inko explains, giving Izuku a pitiful look, stroking his hair affectionately.
“Whatever, it’s not like I’m pretty enough to even be his mate,” Izuku says, looking away as his eyes get a little sparkly with incoming tears, “I think he probably just likes to tease me, anyways.”
Izuku can't help but be a little in love with his father's handsome farm boy, and it might not be the best idea he's had...

Summary
Minho.
It was Minho. Chestnut hair now a inky black, round face now chiseled and his jaw sharp. Feline eyes focused on where his slender fingers press into Jisung's ribs. He was sure by the vibration coming from behind him that someone was knocking on the door to the bathroom he was now sitting in, but the sound did not reach him. His mind was blank, unable to completely fathom that what he saw was in fact there within arms reach.
Or
Jisung hasn’t been home since he lost his brother five years ago. His return and reunion with his friends and first love is an emotional roller coaster. Will he be able to salvage the relationships he left behind?

Summary
I loved the New Zealand comic strip Footrot Flats (1976-1994) when I was younger. For those who don't know it, here's the fan site: https://www.footrotflats.com/
One of the running gags in the story was how absurdly jealous the main character, "The Dog" (a border collie) was of his master's (Wallace Footrot, a farmer) main love interest, an (alleged) femme fatale known as Darlene "Cheeky" Hobson. I wasn't happy with how this was resolved in the original strip, and it made me wonder....what type of situation would force these two rivals for Wal's love to finally bury the hatchet?
And then the answer came to me from the phrase "the Shaky Isles".....

Summary
Prequel #1 to "Maybe I have to be Good to You Just to Prove I can be Good"
Minho knew he was smart, but maybe smart in all the wrong ways.
Smartass, his father called him.
Smart, but listless, his teachers wrote in the little comment section of his report cards.
He’s smart, but there's something just not right about him, the sheriff said that night he got picked up and dropped off past curfew.
Then there were all the other things people called him - sneaky, stubborn, creepy, weird, freak, loner, psycho, faggot.
Minho knew he was smart, he also knew he wasn’t smart enough.
OR: Minho is holding his whole life together with tape and bubblegum. Chan's life is perfect until you start looking too closely. Before they start adopting the other misfits, Chan and Minho find each other first and learn how to be good to each other along the way.
