The Box
The Center.
The Center holds supernatural patients (teenagers)...
Against their will. Their abilities were infiltrated/inputted into their blood without consent. The Center is hidden from the outside world, so nobody really knows where their children head off to.
And they never will. It's such a shame. A real pity, really.

Leading Lines
Marc's life can be described as anything but easy. Growing up in an orphanage ever since he was a baby, the young man witnessed many of his friends coming and going as new families were opening up their arms for them. Always left behind, he grew up to be somehow distant yet full of life, always looking forward for the light to shine. . . And that light was named Chris.

Penumbra
Being gay in South Korea was already a death sentence, but being gay in the military was grounds for unimaginable torture.
If you were found out.
As Woojin was soon to learn, military life wasn't easy. One wrong move, and you became everyone's punching bag.
Death was a comfort for those lucky enough.
Woojin only wanted to coast through his obligatory 18 months and stay under the radar.
Until he caught the eye of a man named Minsu, and his peaceful military life was taken away from him.

Dance Macabre
Homicide investigator William Dandeline comes across a gruesome find on his first days at the police station of New Orleans. What it looks like to be a fair scene in the dance hall of the 13th Iberville Street, is nothing but the macabre sculpture of a twisted artist. The dead bodies, paired in two and resembling intimate dancing moves, are kept still by fish strings sawn on their shoulder’s blades, while their formal attire and expressionless yet crystal clean faces bring goosebumps to the viewer’s body.
The year is 1965 and in the city of New Orleans it is easy to find someone to blame, let alone a bloodthirsty criminal. However, finding the true culprit is the true challenge, one that will invite William into this grotesque world between life and death. His only help? A young heir of a long-forgotten bloodline; a hermit of the elite class who is willing to assist in putting an end...
When I Was the Moon and You Were the Ocean
[BL | 18+] Ronan had no memory of his life before he became a siren. It wasn't a particularly solitary life; he often spent time in the quaint, seaside town people watching. But he felt a comforting peace amongst the waves of the ocean, particularly in the stillness of night while the town slept. But when an unfamiliar man collapses on the beach, Ronan feels drawn to him like the tide to the moon, and he quickly realizes there's more to life than the solitude of the ocean.

As Seen on Royal Road
Crest of the Strongest Knight
In the Avalyne Empire, there is only one way to achieve greatness: exhibition matches. Those who possess the power to bestow god-given gifts known as Crests stand tall and proud as nobles, supporting their knights who wade into battle for the sake of glory, victory, and honor. Knights and nobles alike study and train at Avalyne Academy to hone their skills and participate in academy-level matches, all while forming lasting bonds to become fully-fledged pairs.
Among those students is the so-called "strongest knight" Medrauta, yet despite her title, she hasn't managed to win a single match. Instead, she's impressively racked up over two-hundred losses within the course of the very first month. However, when she's faced with the prospect of expulsion due to various circumstances, her life gradually begins to change.
As Medrauta struggles to truly become someone worthy of the title "knight", she gains new friends, hope, and experience.

Unbuttoned
Twenty-eight-year-old Wren has been sheltered his whole life. He was homeschooled, and only allowed to socialize with similarly repressed omegas who at the very least, had watched porn by their age. Wren, not so much. Once he finished school and went on into adulthood, you’d think that Wren would have gone crazy trying to experience all the things he’d been denied as a teenager, right? Far from it. Though Wren had moved to a new city for his job and gained new friends who had certainly dabbled in hedonism, Wren had little inclination to join them.
Wren was content with celibacy. He was content with working nine to five, eating lunch with his coworkers, and then going home at the end of the day to binge watch tv shows and try out the new recipes he found online. His life was a boat on still waters, slowly drifting to an expected destination. Steady. Unchanging.
There’s a storm, though, hanging on the fringes of Wren’s life by the name of Vincent. He’s a complete nuisance, with his ridiculous V-neck shirts that show way too much skin, his captivatingly evil grin, and his scent like a minty forest breeze. Wren doesn’t like him at all, and he’s really annoyed that Vincent is apparently the only taxi driver available in the whole city after seven p.m.
And if the fact that the scent of Vincent’s oncoming rut triggered Wren’s heat meant anything significant, like their compatibility, Wren was going to happily ignore it. And if, right before Wren’s next heat, he stole Vincent’s scarf from the backseat of the taxi, then Wren was going to blame it all on the omega heat-brain instincts.
Except, unbeknownst to Wren, there was apparently a ‘stealing an alpha’s clothes to sex’ pipeline that he wasn’t aware of.
Before long, Wren is sucked up into the whirlpool known as Vincent, desperately trying to claw his way out before he drowns. But as it turns out, the whirlpool is just as desperate to drag him down as Wren is to escape.
