Summary
“Mostly biomechanics is just math with a body attached.”
“There he is.” He said it warmly, like he’d been waiting for that exact sentence. “You know, I used to wonder what you’d have been like somewhere that wasn’t us.”
I went still in a way I hoped didn’t show. “What do you mean?”
“I mean, I had teammates who played against guys like you. Talented, prickly, kept everyone at arm’s length. And their captains always talked about them like a renovation project. We’re working on his attitude. We’re trying to bring him out of his shell.” He turned his chopsticks over, not quite looking at me. “I always thought that sounded exhausting. For the guy, I mean. Having your whole personality treated like something under construction.”
I looked at him. “You never tried to renovate me.”
“Didn’t need to. You weren’t broken.”

Summary
You with the grey eyes. Garrett: galling, generous, gentle. You, whose pain only softens the jagged edges other men choose to sharpen. Your hands, rough with calluses, could wreak exquisite violence, but you touch me with a tenderness that makes me shake with wanting.
Your father’s son, but you took the name with shame. Your father's son, yet you chose to love your mother instead.

Summary
“You sure, Granger?”
She nodded, voice steadying despite the insistent flutter in her chest. “I’m fine.”
And if she noticed the slight tremor in his arms as he tried not to crush her, the way his warmth was different from any man who had come near her before, the lingering woodsy scent mixed now with something distinctly masculine, and the glimmer of interest in eyes nearly silver against the light—so different from the frozen, fearful look he’d given her at the manor—then she would pretend she hadn’t noticed a thing.
She knew she should probably stay far away from Draco Malfoy.
Or: Observations and their many implications.

Summary
Language is like tea leaves. Steeped and coloured, flavoured bursts on the tongue: bitter or sweet. Greens, ambers, and fusion blends similar to the building of cultures. Language, the largest and most versatile way humans communicated. A unique ability to cross sounds and form words, creating energy and shifting the surrounding air into waves that spread like currents, linking one person with another. Bonding that becomes the core of identity, of stature, of expression.
And somehow, that expression is so often lost. Hidden away in storage closets and underneath cracked floorboards. In the space between two people, a lie instead of a truth. Buried, packed away, sold, words are often used to leverage machinations. Out of cruelty, currency, or concern.
In the time and space between two people trapped for one evening in a love hotel.
Or: Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy are stuck in a love hotel for an evening.

Summary
Satoru Gojo had been killed more than once in his short life... but his death at the age of twenty-nine was widely considered to be the most permanent one yet.
Over a year has passed since the fight against Sukuna and Gojo has returned, but at a great personal cost. Without his techniques and even fewer allies, Gojo struggles to understand what's left when he's no longer the most powerful sorcerer of the age.
Utahime Iori fell for Gojo once before and she already learned her lesson, but circumstances have pushed her back into the path of the man she's tried hard to forget, challenging her resolve and awakening old feelings she vowed to extinguish.
What does it mean to be strong? To be vulnerable? And if forced to choose between love and power, what will win out?
