    Summary

    Scaramouche has always despised magic and the chaos it brings, but when an inexperienced wizard named Ajax hides in his home to escape a violent mob, he has no choice but to help. Reluctantly agreeing to let Ajax stay, Scaramouche’s hatred is challenged.

    When Ajax loses control over his unstable powers, he accidentally turns Scaramouche into a cat which he is unable to reverse on his own. The only hope of turning him back lies in reaching one of Ajax’s friends, but staying together long enough to get there is no easy task, especially since he’s a fugitive on the run.

    Summary

    He rolled his eyes, “you mean to tell me you got me an errand peasant boy to carry my things around?”

    “You’re the one who begged for one immediately,” Ei replied smoothly. She reached out, gently patting his hair, ruffling the indigo strands as if he were still a boy clinging to her skirts. “I hired the first person who didn’t reek of the sewers. He’s also young and in shape, so you’ll be able to send him on as many errands as you’d like.”
    -
    Scaramouche has never known anything beyond luxury. Born into wealth, he’s spent his life surrounded by silk, servants, and the quiet arrogance of those who never had to struggle. But when his mother hires an errand boy from the village his world begins to crack.

    Ajax comes from nothing. He’s known hunger, cold nights, and the kind of work that grinds the body down before adulthood ever arrives. Yet somehow, he still finds warmth in the smallest things.

    As Scaramouche is forced to see life through Ajax’s eyes, he begins to realize that maybe wealth isn’t measured in mora after all.

    Summary

    "The people who keep showing this on national TV are worse than clingy exes," he says. "It's been two weeks! Everybody moved on. Nobody cares anymore. Television guys always cry about losing watch-time since streaming went global, like, geez, I wonder why."

    For some unfathomable reason, the camera shifts even lower, showing off the curve of Childe's throat and the cut of his jaw. Scaramouche is so outraged he sputters in his seat.

    "Why the fuck would anyone want to watch this?"

    Lumine snorts. "For the same reason you haven't switched channels yet."

    He throws the remote at her face.

    Or, Scaramouche's lived his whole life stuck to the global platinum band called The Harbingers. When he finally severs the ties, he doesn't expect to be propulsed into another, lesser-known band that's everything the Harbingers was not: warm, kind, and infused with bubble gum pop.

    In parallel, a minor indie celebrity who's orbited around him for years crash-lands into his business and categorically refuses to leave.

    Tartaglia Childe is a pain in the ass. Simultaneously, the first person to ever slip so far past Scaramouche's walls.

    Summary

    Kim Hajin is a failure. There's no two ways to look at that objective truth. It's a truth that resonates through how others look at and ridicule him. It's a truth that echoes infinitely inside his head, compounding and doubling down on his inadequacies. It's a truth, despite the unconditional love of two parents that soothe but cannot dispel those haunting doubts.

    Kim Suho is simply perfection. The desperate vessel and ideal of Hajin's "ifs" and wishes. Because Kim Suho, the protagonist of Hajin's novel, is everything Hajin wants to be for his parents and more. But, that story falls apart at the seams the same way Hajin has lost faith in himself.

    Yet, as the common narrative dictates, everything begins anew with an innocuous email requesting to remake Hajin's novel.

    ***

    Alternatively, the extremes of Korean culture break Kim Hajin into someone who feels much more acutely, and everything shifts to the left.
