Summary
They say 'Hoshiakari' means starlight. The faint, persistent hope that cuts through the cold, vast empty spaces of the night sky. But for three long years, Euijoo believed his own sky was meant to stay completely dark.
His life had broken into pieces, leaving him to raise a fragile four-year-old who clings to him like an anchor in a storm. Being a single father meant burying his own youth, his own desires, and his own heart just to make sure his son, Harua, had enough light to shine safely. He didn't have time for peace. He didn't trust it anyway.
He thought he was entirely handling the dark on his own.
Then Nicholas appears, bleeds his way into Euijoo's carefully guarded boundaries. He introduces an inescapable constellation of warmth into a cold routine.
But letting someone in means letting down the walls that kept them safe. For a man who only knows how to be a protector, learning to be loved by another man feels like a quiet crisis of everything he thought he knew about himself.
Can Euijoo learn to trust the peace before the sky falls again, and can a heart frozen in survival finally learn to thaw?
This is the journey of how a lonely star found its missing constellation.

Summary
They say 'Akari' means light. But since that day, Yudai forgot what that looked like.
In the quiet, agonizing hours of the night, Yudai felt completely consumed by the dark. Overnight, Yudai’s world turns upside down, he never expected to navigate the world alone, let alone with a son relying entirely on him.
Being a sudden single father didn't come with a manual. It just came with a desperate, exhausting struggle to stay sane, to be enough, and to protect the fragile little life in his arms. He’s navigating the dark, just trying to keep their heads above water.
But healing begins in the most unexpected places. He thought he was destined to live in the shadows of his own burnout and grief. Until a soft, steady ray of sunshine walked into their lives wearing an apron and a pretty smile that reached his eyes. Fuma.
Fuma slowly introduces a soft glow back into Yudai's fractured world—but moving on from the past is easier said than done.
Can Yudai truly heal, and can two separate lives fuse into a shared future?
This is the journey of how a broken home found its guiding light.

Summary
Nicholas needed soccer in his life the same way he needed oxygen. But he's an omega and he lives in a world where all subgenders are grouped into their own teams for every sport. Nicholas is good, better even than the other omegas. So when he starts university he may just leave a little detail out of his paperwork.
When he manages to make the alpha soccer team under the radar, his life finally feels right. Until one little bump in the road causes him to be slowly outed as his true subgender. Luckily he has really great friends and an even better team captain to get him through it all. Said team captain just happens to be the object of his primal desire.Bookmarked by setfiretoit
