In the grand scheme of things, finding a date for a wedding should be no problem for Louis Tomlinson. He's rich. He's handsome. He's reasonably well behaved. But when the wedding is for his lifelong best friend (and former boyfriend), and is happening in under a month, finding a date for the ceremony and accompanying festivities becomes more of an adventure than he ever could have planned for.

In a world where dominance of the sea is an endless battle between pirates and mariners, Park Jimin is content living in his little village on a small, uninteresting island by the eastern mainland. He wants nothing to do with the bloodshed of good and evil, the heartless killing of both innocents and condemned, the constant establishment and disruption of order. What he wants is peace, to live his life in the same town he was born in, to spend his days in the beautiful forest, and to use the powers of his Blessed Rune to nurture the home he loves so dearly. But when his island is attacked by pirates, Jimin will have no other choice than to do as they command and leave all thoughts of peace behind in favor of boarding the Agust, a pirate ship captained by the infamous Min Yoongi, Black Fox of the East.

“At least your puppies knock first,” Stiles snorts. “Here I thought their alpha raised them to be well-mannered.” “There’s a sign,” Derek responds stiffly. Stiles, whose curiosity outweighs even his hardest of grudges, abandons his chilly façade of nonchalance in a heartbeat. He jumps right up and all but pushes Derek out of the way in his effort to get to the window, and sure enough when he leans outside there’s a laminated strip of cardstock duct taped to the vinyl siding: DON’T FORGET TO KNOCK Stiles gets cranky when we scare him --- Or, in which Stiles Stilinski moves to Beacon Hills for his junior year of high school and accidentally adopts a pack of teenage werewolves.

Derek has a new neighbor who won't stop looking. Excerpt: “You’re blind,” Derek said flatly, the anger draining from him so suddenly he felt almost woozy. His vision cleared, his claws sliding back into blunt fingernails. “Thanks for the memo, genius,” the kid said acidly. “I can still fucking defend myself, so don’t take another damn step.” “Fuck, I...I’m sorry,” Derek stuttered. “What?!” The kid’s brow crinkled. “I mean — what?! You’re fucking sorry!?” His lips thinned into a harsh line. “What, is this some kinda Hallmark movie where you’re discovering the error of your ways because you don’t want to rob a blind person?! That’s fucking condescending, man. I’ll have you know that —” “Just, wait.” Derek interrupted what was apparently the start of a convincing argument as to why he should rob the kid after all, feeling his head start to spin. “This is — it’s a misunderstanding. I’m — I’m not robbing you. You’re — you’re safe, okay? I’m taking three steps back. Just — just let me explain.” “Explain why you came busting into my apartment? Yeah, go right ahead, man, I can’t wait to hear this epic tale.”

Only one precious week of winter break left! Incurably cold big brother, Gael (16), and inextinguishably warm kid sister, Camila (12), decide to spend it playing video games together in his room. UPDATE (2/11): I have added a new chapter today after a 10-day break, as a gesture of goodwill to fans of this bizarro plotline. You will all be happy to hear I don't feel done telling this version of events. But I must also confess I'm not sure I'm able to put the energy into this project that it deserves. I don't want to let the quality drop off, so my plan is only to come back when I have ideas worth coming back to, rather than to force this (extremely challenging!) plotline along in service to some imaginary deadline I've set for myself. Hope you all can understand. Meanwhile, my focus will continue chiefly to be on the Revised version, which has the lion's share of my attention, and which I hope to conclude in due course. *** NOTE: This telling diverges from revision after Chapter 6. I will not spoil how. You are welcome to read either version and choose whichever suits you better. Thank for all the kudos, comments, and bookmarks in the meantime.

"Will you tell me about your fight against Sato... Sa-to-ru?" Sukuna inhales with annoyance, almost on the verge of tearing the brat apart for making useless requests. "Do you want to hear for the thousandth time how I killed him?" Naruto smiles so brightly that it almost gives him the feeling that he has a heart. It's disgusting. "Suku-nii is amazing, I'll be as strong as you! Beleave it!" "Don't call me like that." "Suku-nii!" Sukuna only puts up with it because he needs the child's body to be at the top of the world. He needs him to grow up, mature and become stronger. He doesn't care about him for anything else. He doesn't.

Sansa felt a tear slide down her cheek. She had lived through it all. It was real. Her family was dead. She was dead. The Night King had won and stolen the living on his own cruel whims. Sansa had seen, clear as day, the army of the undead marching for Winterfell. Sansa had heard the screams, seen the stone painted with blood. Sansa remembered her father’s head on a spike, the tears she shed for her mother and dead brothers. What kind of gods would gift her that kind of nightmare? “If they were truly dead, why would it be me greeting you in the between?” Lyanna whispered. Sansa’s eyes widened at this. She looked back at the weirwood tree, and a soft lullaby echoes through the wind.

“Bakugo, I have to tell you something.” “Fucking say it then.” “I can’t see.” “We know you can’t see, where are your damn glasses?” “No Bakugo.” Shoto’s voice was hollow, quieter than it needed to be. He cleared his throat trying to speak louder this time. “I mean I can’t see, anything.” Bakugo still didn’t know what that meant, so he put a hand in front of Todoroki’s face to confirm his suspicions. Tried doing all he could to make Half n Half flinch or blink or just about anything. But his idiot classmate stood there unmoving, not making any sort of reaction or response to it all. Or Todoroki is unsure why he’s going blind, and Bakugo – even though he hates this fucker with all his might – attempts to help this poor extra, as they both go through the days in denial about their newly formed crushes on each other.
