    Summary

    He breaks the surface in one continuous movement. His body cuts through the water as he descends, blinking rapidly to regain his vision. Just like that the world quietens down — no more waves, or wings flapping above him; all distractions become void as he is submerged. It is what he’s always loved the most, that feeling of weightlessness as the brine flows past his limbs, cool like the chills of early Loutgao. The light moves slowly along his outstretched fingers as he continues to dive into the deep.

    He wonders what he'll find.


    When Naoki stops to help a creature he finds hooked to a rock in the ocean, he's thrown out of the confines of his unremarkable life. Together, they wade through the mysteries of the Island: from his Ohy's disappearance, up to the suspicious organisation following their every move.

    Kalypso is vast and its tides are strong, with sirens and beasts abound. And at the very tip of the volcano that is the City of Gos, she awaits them.

    For Naoki, it is only the beginning.

    Summary

    Shiro needs a good night’s sleep like a drowning man needs air. When he quits the Garrison, following Keith across the universe is the only thing that makes sense.

    While Shiro gets his bearings, Keith is ready to take the lead— in more ways than one. Keith decides to let Shiro in on a little secret, and offers him something he can’t resist.

    It’s everything he ever wanted. Well, almost everything. If Keith’s attention stirs up tender feelings Shiro thought he’d buried, well, it’s nothing he can’t handle. Right?

    How Keith becomes Shiro’s dom after the war. Platonically, maybe.

    Summary

    All Keith has left of his parents is the run down worker's cottage overlooking the city skyline that was his childhood home... and a pile of debt.

    Offers come thick and fast to buy the property but Keith refuses to sell, until property developer Takashi Shirogane steps forward with a business offer he can't refuse.

    But what follows is anything but business.
