The Tale of Two Hearts
Romantic tales come from different ages, races, personalities, genders and even across time. But this tale is ordinary. Not too sweet, not too bitter.

Following her incomplete heart to find its other pair, she finds herself chasing him in the lands of America. Will love prevail?

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.

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 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.

COMPLETE!
Philadelphia, 1972: All Luke wants is to share his music with the world. When an imposing, slightly older trumpet player called Emmett joins his band, Luke is fascinated – and a lifelong friendship is born.

Over the years, Luke’s curiosity and Emmett’s indulgence slowly push the two of them into complicated new territory. Emmett tries to keep them safe – but Luke wants it all.

Wings, Flings, and Demon Kings
A rambly angel. A debonair demon. A very stuck elevator...
NIRAEL has never been the best angel. A little too loud, always in the wrong place at the wrong time, she constantly finds herself written up by her archangel superiors for minor misdemeanors. When her Remedial Goodness program forces her to do a capstone project on Earth, she decides this will be the moment she finally turns her life around.
That is, until she meets...
AZERATH has always been a good demon. Which, in demon terms, is tantamount to career suicide. Sent to Earth as part of his Remedial Evil program, his demonic superiors issue him an ultimatum: corrupt a hundred souls in the next month or risk being unmade.
But they didn't specify that the souls he corrupts have to be human.
Mostly romcom fluff with a dash of existential angst.
