Summary
“Izuku, why are you wearing makeup? Who are you trying to impress at 1:30 in the afternoon on a Tuesday?” Realization crosses her face. “Izuku, I told you to leave that boy alone. He’s got work to do, and he’s too old for you anyways.”
“Mamaaaaaa,” Izuku whines again. “He’s only a year older...”
“Izuku, you just presented. You and I both know there’s big changes that happen in that year.” Inko explains, giving Izuku a pitiful look, stroking his hair affectionately.
“Whatever, it’s not like I’m pretty enough to even be his mate,” Izuku says, looking away as his eyes get a little sparkly with incoming tears, “I think he probably just likes to tease me, anyways.”

Minho knew he was smart, he also knew he wasn’t smart enough.

Summary
He sat down, throwing back his head at the uncomfortable cushion, closing his eyes, and letting out a deep breath he didn’t even know he was holding. He couldn’t believe he almost missed his flight—the last flight too. God, his mom would give him the lecture I told you of the year. It took him three months to convince her that it’d be nice if he travelled alone before college started so he has no idea how he’d gain her trust back if he messes this up just because he fell asleep while waiting.
“You the fuckin’ guy that delayed our flight for 30 minutes?” A voice spoke just beside him; it was low, guttural, and cold like a beast . Every word was laced with venom, sounding like a threat. He froze in his seat.
Izuku hated disappointing people, and if that someone was stuck with him for the next 5 hours, then he’s fucked.
His thoughts were put to a halt when his eyes landed on probably the most attractive person he'd ever seen.
The tension between you and the stranger around your age in the plane. Can Izuku act normal for once?

Summary
Inuyasha Taisho thought of himself as an island. He didn't need anyone. But as a country doctor in a small town, he could do good. He could help people. He could reach out to kids that had been unwanted, just like him, and offer them a safe harbour until someone better came along to take them in. He didn't need anything else, apart from more sleep because being on call 24/7 was doing his head in.
So when Kagome Higurashi turned up on his doorstep in the middle of the night, injured and scared, carrying a dog that weighed nearly as much as herself, he was happy to offer her safe harbour for a little while too. Except she didn't leave.

Summary
Ed Teach was on the cusp of breaking out as a celebrity chef when he disappeared from the scene a bunch of years ago. Now, he’s got a moderately successful restaurant in a small town, and people leave him alone. Mostly.
Stede Bonnet is the host of a new show called Bistros, Bakeries, and Bars. He and his eccentric production crew travel the country highlighting little-known spots and the signature food they serve. When Stede finds out his next assignment is Blackbeard’s Bar & Grill in Wilkes, Georgia, he’s determined to get in, get out, and spend as little time there as possible.
But circumstances conspire against Stede’s plans, and just because Ed hates the guy on sight doesn’t mean he’ll be rid of him easily. Over the course of several days and several disasters, Ed and Stede come to find that first impressions aren’t everything, and some people are worth the risk that comes with being loved.
