Summary
For a moment, Anaxa closed his eyes. For a moment, he listened to the swaying leaves, whispering words of comfort meant just for him. For a moment…
When Anaxa next opened his eyes, it met the gaze with a man standing under the pavilion overlooking the grand courtyard. The man gasped--his breath hitched, as he clutched a hand to his chest. The moonlight reflected in his gentle eyes, his white hair so soft it seemed to glow.
The man approached, stepping foot onto the same cobblestone path Anaxa had walked on. So slow, the man closed the gap--until he stood underneath Anaxa’s perch in the branches of the Great Tree. Never once did he take his eyes off of Anaxa.
“What is a lonely maiden doing out here by her lonesome self?” The man asked.
Anaxa was annoyed. “I am not a maiden.”
or: in which Anaxa is a Kirin tasked to find his King, with a looming timer over his head

How to Survive a Villainous Husband by EveryCentury

Summary
Avid reader Aventurine wakes up as a noble in his favourite novel, 'Trailblazing Romance' which should've been a dream come true—until he realises he's inhabiting a body with a mysterious illness whose of no one else but the nameless spouse of Veritas Ratio—the villain he always loathed and who the spouse is destined to be executed alongside.
Determined to (literally) keep his head on his shoulders, Aventurine does everything in his power to avoid the execution that ended the original timeline.
But while doing so, he learns that Veritas Ratio isn’t exactly the villain and that the heroine perspective might not have been exactly correct.
He had to admit, even though Trailblazing Romance was mostly shitty and had huge plot holes, it had one thing going for it—the way the heroine and the prince fit together perfectly.
Their loyalty, the build up from strangers to friends to then romantic partners—all of that had been unfairly adorable to read. And Aventurine may or may not have giggled a few times while reading those parts, but nobody had to know that.

Summary
"Of all the ridiculous, risky things I expect of you, gambler," he said, slowly and deliberately, "bringing a trained assassin to your own home — one that attempted to kill you mere hours ago, no less — was decidedly not on the list of things I ever anticipated."
The tone was scathing, harsh and reproachful, but it did little to faze the smaller man, whose smile never faltered. "One of these days I'm going to teach you that to gamble well means being able to anticipate any outcome, no matter how ridiculous or impossible it might seem."
While on their first field assignment since Penacony, Aventurine and Ratio are surprised to encounter a vengeful Avgin mercenary. As soon as she speaks, however, a name and face from the past spring instantly to Aventurine's mind — that of his supposedly dead sister, Kadriya. In what proves to be the biggest gamble of his life, he strikes a deal with her to convince her to come back to Pier Point with him, even though he can't be sure of her actual identity. What follows is a tense and chaotic ride that none of them expected, filled with mystery, secrets, distrust… and regret.

Summary
It’s not often that Hogwarts accepts a transfer student in their seventh year – but that’s not the only thing that makes Aventurine special.
A Muggle-born Slytherin, a charismatic showman, and a fool who sometimes seems like he has no idea how to cast magic… but at times seems capable of far more than he should.
The more Ratio learns about his new classmate, the greater his intrigue grows.
… And the deeper his emotions become.
