Latch On Me
"...Plato spoke of the original humans as creatures with two heads, two pairs of hands and feet. Monstrous creatures, correct? Monstrous enough to make the God of Gods tremble in fear. He couldn’t have that, so Zeus with a single thunderbolt split them in two, forcing them to spend a lifetime searching for their other half. Let’s say I found mine in Phillip. Phillip was me, and I was Phillip..."
Abyssal
The day that Kai learns that he's half-human, half-merman and that he's the key to ending a 100-year-old war, is also the day that the entire ocean learns of his existence. For years his family kept him hidden from the world, but now the strongest, most dangerous merman in all the seven seas knows about Kai, and he's coming to the surface for him.
To ensure victory, King Marius the Conqueror must capture the half-breed prince of Astria, his nation's greatest enemy, and claim him as his Mate in order to absorb his power before he learns to use it. There's only one problem: there's nothing Marius hates more than humans, not even an Astrian, and Kai is both those things. But when Marius sees the beautiful Kai and clashes swords with him, the cold-blooded king's blood begins to boil for the very first time.
When a dark, handsome, sword-wielding stranger attacks Kai in his home, instead of running, Kai fights even though he knows he's no match. Defeated, Kai is kidnapped to a world he never knew existed and is held prisoner against his will. Thrust into a secret, dangerous aquatic world, Kai must learn to navigate swimming with a tail instead of legs and avoid a powerful, possessive king's advances if he wants to save his newly-discovered mer-people from annihilation.

Penumbra
Being gay in South Korea was already a death sentence, but being gay in the military was grounds for unimaginable torture.
If you were found out.
As Woojin was soon to learn, military life wasn't easy. One wrong move, and you became everyone's punching bag.
Death was a comfort for those lucky enough.
Woojin only wanted to coast through his obligatory 18 months and stay under the radar.
Until he caught the eye of a man named Minsu, and his peaceful military life was taken away from him.

Chained, Body and Soul
Chains, blindfold, concrete floor.
That's all Philip knows when he wakes up trapped in a stranger’s basement. As a Sub, he's familiar with the implements, but this man isn’t his Dom nor is there any indication why he’s taken Philip prisoner. In fact, the man won’t utter a single word.
But the power dynamic is clear, and Philip is well versed in doing whatever he’s told. At least, he is with his jealous, demanding, Dom Koray. Even without Koray present, Philip is bound by his power, and forced to obey his will.
Which might cause a very big problem, because Philip’s new owner isn’t willing to share his affection.

El & Em
COMPLETE!
Philadelphia, 1972: All Luke wants is to share his music with the world. When an imposing, slightly older trumpet player called Emmett joins his band, Luke is fascinated – and a lifelong friendship is born.

• Period-realistic racism
• References to AIDS and period-realistic homophobia

At the Bottom of the Stairwell
Kliment has finally mustered up the courage to ask out his friend Shashi, the Dom he’s longed to serve since before he even knew his name. Their months getting to know each other have made him want more than what he has with Lochan, the Dom he only serves so his inner Sub won't go crazy. He needs a Dom he can pair with –to surrender complete control to– and Shashi is the one he wants to give power over him.
Unfortunately, he's never done this before, and some college kids aren't as smart as they think they are.
Also some Doms really hate being told no.

Employee of the Multiverse and His Darling Cat
This journal was intended to recount how I, Noble Malik, a leader of the World Management realm, was transported to a strange world and forced to climb the corporate ladder in order to return home. Inadvertently, it seems to have become a diary about the odd worlds and dangerous mysteries I encounter on business trips with my partner, whose secrets and four-dimensional personality leave me at a loss---yet intrigued. And if the reader wants a literary perspective, I suppose it's about how a workaholic loner unexpectedly learns more about what moves people and himself while uncovering a universe-shattering conspiracy. But honestly, that's too philosophical and romantic. I just wanted to see my cat, Darla, again.
