Park Jimin and Jeon Jungkook have never quite fit in. Not into their roles or the expectations that their families have for them. But maybe, with a little work, they can be the right fit for each other.

Sachio Kurumizawa is an omega mouse manga artist, and Ukano, the alpha fox, is his editor… but Sachio can’t help but feel uncomfortable around Ukano.
He always seems to look at Sachio with predatory eyes.
One night, Sachio goes into heat at an omega-only bar, and Ukano saves him.
Unfortunately, Sachio has no idea how long he’ll stay in heat… and then, Ukano offers to help him stop it.
Will Sachio say yes to getting between the sheets with Ukano despite his terror of being devoured…!?
Omegaverse is obviously a majorly important thing in my life. I am always reading it, thinking about it, and writing it. I only haven’t put out some horrifying Mahito/Junpei omegaverse yet because there are so many other, worse AUs that I’ve been busy with.
Anyway, I got into The Foxy Mouse’s Romance because… I saw a TikTok about it. For a site that punishes you for basically wiggling a toe out of step, the social media platform sure has become the main first site/sight for me when it comes to spicy webtoons and manga.

Title: Godchild
Creator: Kaori Yuki
Demographic: Shojo
Themes: historical fiction, European setting, crime and punishment, murder mysteries, supernatural, incest, romance, horror, fairytales, mad science, and tragedy
Status: Complete and fully translated
Published By: VIZ (North America), Hakusensha (Japan)
Deep in the heart of 19th Century London, a young nobleman named Cain walks the shadowy cobblestone streets of the aristocratic society in which he was born. Forced to become an Earl upon the untimely death of his father, Cain assumes the role of head of the Hargreaves, a noble family with a dark past. With Riff, his faithful manservant, and Mary Weather, his 10-year-old adopted sister, Cain investigates the mysterious crimes that seem to follow him wherever he goes.
The sequel to the original Earl Cain series (first published in 1991), Kaori Yuki’s Godchild is one of the single most formative pieces of media in my life. Honestly, between this and Angel Sanctuary, Kaori Yuki’s body of work has actually shaped a huge portion of my interests and personality. Even my early writing as a tadpole owes to her brilliant worldbuilding, capable writing, and gorgeous art.

Fairytale stepmothers are notoriously wicked. But after a children’s clothing designer is reborn as young Princess Blanche’s stepmom, she’s determined to break the mold and shower her daughter with love. Now she just has to convince the girl’s cold-hearted father to do the same. In her quest to make a happier home for Blanche, Abigail begins to uncover secrets and schemes within the palace. Will devious forces tear the Freidkins apart, or can Abigail stitch them back into a family?
Here’s some unexpected Stitch Lore ™ for you: I actually ranked Snow White at the bottom of my favorite fairytales… up until I read the first volume of this series’ novelization a couple years ago. I read the first volume and went “wait… maybe Snow White deserves rights”.
I love this webtoon. Deeply.

Title: Don’t Blush, Sekime-san!
Creator: Shigure Tokita
Demographic: Seinen
Themes: first love, contemporary, high school romance, romcom, classmates
Status: Completed and Fully Translated
Published By: Shueisha
His girlfriend is super popular, but he’s the only one who sees her turn bright-red! A rom-com about a boy and his over-embarrassed girlfriend!
Don’t Blush, Sekime-San! sits at the same table as Komi Can’t Communicate and The Dangers in My Heart. All three series are those contemporary male fantasies where a short semi-loser and a tall girl that’s just a little weird (or a lot weird, in Anna Yamada’s case in the third series) wind up in a warm relationship after some trouble. The difference between the three series is that Don’t Blush, Sekime-San!… isn’t about an easily overlooked guy or a loser. (I say this with warmth because I like Tadano from Komi and Dangers stars a Junpei Yoshino-looking little freak that I adore.)

Welcome to another exciting installment of Fic Friday. This is our second and I’ve decided I’ll do these twice a month. So you’ve heard it here: twice a month, you get my thoughts on fanfic. Those two weeks are not planned as in, it could be two weeks in a row at the start of the month, two weeks at the end of the month, or alternating Fridays.

Anyway, for this installment, we get to – I get to talk about a new fic that my friends wrote. And like that won’t always be the case, you know, posting something that a friend wrote, but my friends are so talented, that you know, I kind of want to talk them up all the time.

At this point in my life, I’d read just about anything from Nalini Singh. Archangel’s Enigma, the eighth full book in her Guild Hunter series, simply solidifies that desire.
This book is just a good book.
Straight up.
For seven books we’ve seen the evolution of these different characters. We’ve watched Elena and Raphael battle their figurative demons as well as go head to head against the intensely overpowered archangel Lijuan. At this point, these characters are pretty well set up and you’re strapped in for the ride because you need to know what happens next. After Archangel’s Shadows, the book that gave us Ashwini and Janvier’s intense and emotional story, we were all like “how is she going to top this?”
And then she gives us a book about Naasir.Read More »
