Summary
Newly returned from the North, Park Mu-yeon joins the State Tribunal’s Bureau of Investigations at the height of a grotesque series of performative killings, each more deliberate than the last. Thrust into the most high-profile case of the decade, he must navigate strained relationships, his own unnerving perceptiveness, and the King’s increasingly singular attention.
It isn't long before Mu-yeon realises that his killer isn’t hiding, but watching. And as their silent exchange deepens, he begins to question whether he is still pursuing the truth, or merely being led toward it.

A Claim of Crowns by lucius_complex

Summary
King Yi Jin rules a kingdom poised between tradition and change, yet the privileges of his crown has done little to ease the solitude that comes with it. As his reign deepens, the demands of governance press in, and whispers of unrest stir beyond the palace walls. In this precarious balance Yi Jin’s bond with General Park Mu-yeon grows, a quiet intensity threaded with desire, loyalty, and unspoken peril. Yet every choice seems to carry grave consequences: for the throne, for the man he cannot openly claim, and for the fragile peace teetering on the brink of war.

Summary
A reluctant King who would rather depart onward to Heaven than remain as its representative on earth (or at least on Joseon) finds his efforts repeatedly and unceremoniously interrupted by a northern general who considers the entire affair a profoundly inefficient use of his time.
Featuring: attempted drownings in inappropriate containers! Philosophical disagreements of no practical use! And the deeply unreasonable tendency for attachment to form under absurd circumstances.

'Stay,' he says; 'Thou art so fair. Then may you lead me down in fetters, onto the black bottom of despair,'
Sometimes Tony thinks he will never be sure which of them Loki had referenced when he'd recited those Faustian lines.

Summary
To rule Joseon is to possess everything, yet King Yi Jin seems to possess nothing that the scholar Min Woo-won will accept. Three years after sentencing Woo-won’s family to for their crimes, the King seeks out his childhood friend in a modest Hanyang bookshop, armed with royal favor, an implausible list of excuses, and enough desperation to turn up over and over again.

Summary
Yi Jin, King of Joseon, has spent his life mastering restraint—balancing duty, power, and the quiet ache of loving what he should not. As Prince Dowon reaches adulthood, the connection between them teeters into dangerous territory, forcing Yi Jin to navigate not only the demands of the throne but a heart torn between two loves, two truths, and two different futures. As political fractures deepen and whispers of war gather at the borders, the kingdom becomes a battleground of espionage, conflicting ideologies, shifting loyalties, and hidden motives.
Amid rising threats and the looming shadow of open war, Yi Jin must decide who he can trust, what he is willing to sacrifice, and whether the close bonds that have shaped him will become his greatest strength—or the most catastrophic undoing of his life.

Summary
This is a story about two people, a 19 year old guy, who has just finished high school, and a mafia boss, who suddenly became his husband. This is a story of misunderstanding, dignity and acceptance of both: the destiny and oneself.
In this part of the story you will learn about the relationship between two people and the events that happened after Olivier (the MC) had become Hamilton’s husband. Was it a planned marriage or the will of the case? Who knows. They both should learn now how to coexist and live together. That’s a challenge for both of them.
P.S. This is only the first arc. There are others. See the series.

Summary
Hermione finds herself planted against the wall with Malfoy kissing a trail of fire down her skin.
“We could have that,” he croaks.
Hermione shakes her head vehemently. “They love each other. We despise each other.”
He pulls back and Hermione flinches at the expression he’s wearing. He looks like someone who has seen something terrible — eyes unfocused and face taking on a sort of stricken expression.
“We don’t need to love each other,” he says in a strangled whisper that holds the weight of words unspoken. And then in a sort of desperate plea, “We don’t even need to like each other.”

Summary
Odin’s vault contains many treasures.
The best of all realms’. Where they can be safely kept when they would otherwise cause great destruction. Some items have been forfeit following cataclysmic wars. A few have been here since Asgard herself, their home worlds lost to time and now are nothing but beautiful wonders. There’s one possession in particular that stands out from the rest: no mere trinket.
A boy rests in a glass display, an image of sleep so close to death it makes Thor shiver.

Summary
His believer truly was devoted and kind, so generous, so loving, so happy to give offerings. Was it any wonder that Xie Lian couldn't keep his wits about him? He could lose himself in the impossible richness of it, an adoration cultivated for centuries.
Xie Lian is easily overwhelmed, but finds that he isn't the only one.
