Summary
there's a saying about love and hate. how there exists a line between the two emotions. one extreme to the other, complete opposites in every which way. and yet, it's possible that with just the slightest nudge in either direction, you find yourself unable to distinguish between one or the other.
you used to think that saying was complete and utter bullshit.
when you loathe someone so reverently, so passionately, how could it ever be mistaken for love? how can one feel every waking bone in their body recoil at the sight of their figure and consider it the same as melting beneath a gentle caress, leaning into their tender touch? how can imagining your hands around their neck, squeezing all the air from their lungs, compare to pressing one's lips against the other, greedily taking their breaths as your own.
so then why? why does that barrier blur when an arrogant boy suddenly takes space in your life? why does the way his words sink beneath your skin, his actions igniting a raging fire in your chest, make you second guess the way you feel about him?

Summary
“It appears your brain does work,” he said flatly. “How nice. I was beginning to think it was simply filled with useless drivel and smiles.”
“The things I say aren’t useless.” You crossed your arms, slightly glaring at him.
“You just tried to apply aspects from a video game into real life,” he replied, shrugging. “Seems pretty useless to me.”
“It isn’t if that information is accurate,” you protested. “Nothing I said was false.”
He gave you an unimpressed stare.
“Fine.” you grit your teeth, giving him a spiteful look. “After this game, I’ll prove to you that I was right. Just so that I can shove that smug look right off of your face.”
That earned you yet another annoying smirk. “How, by shooting me?”

no one tried
to read my eyes
no one but youBeing Number Eight in the Umbrella Academy means living with everyone’s thoughts and secrets all the time. It’s tough being the mind-reader of the family.
And when Five suddenly returns after being lost in time, your carefully built walls begin to crumble. He’s different, sharper and colder, definitely not the same boy you fell in love with years ago as children. But beneath it all, something familiar still lingers.
This story follows a re-telling of the show The Umbrella Academy told through your eyes. A slow-burn story that deals with overcoming family trauma and dynamics, family scars, saving the world, and trying to navigate a world full of noise.

Summary
Tigers raised in captivity recognise their caged life as normalcy, but that does not stop them from running once the door is left open.
She couldn't have known it, but the second The Handler decided to cross the strings of fate of her two best assassins for the greater good of the company, she had made a mistake.
Two teenagers turned killers stuck in time; a girl who's personality is deceptively not as sweet as her name, and a boy with the meanest green eyes she's ever seen who might just be her ticket out.

Summary
You like to think of yourself as a cautious dealer.
So somebody explain why this is the first time you’re finding out that your target’s suicidal.
There are nearly three hundred players in the Borderlands, and yet somehow, you’ve managed to select the one (1) guy who can’t wait to die. What the actual fuck.
The blond fool—‘Chishiya Shuntarou,’ according to his file—is going to get you killed.
(Or, Dealer!Reader and Chishiya (unknowingly) go head-to-head in the deadliest game of deception.)
