Summary
It’s easy to forgive someone else, someone you’ve just met, whose crimes you’ve never known. It’s much harder to forgive yourself.
What makes one human, and when did they give that up?

Summary
Seonghwa always knew that his life was going to be hard. It was as plain for him to see as his own hands in front of him, but he wanted to try to live his life looking towards the sun.
His uncle made that hard. Whenever the stress of life became too much for him, his uncle would berate Seonghwa over it, blaming it on his father for bringing his mother into their lives, on him being too much like his mother. It always came back to his mother.
Because Seonghwa’s mother was a harpy.
When he was 12, his uncle had a debt to a pirate captain from a job that went very poorly because of him.
And Seonghwa was how he settled that debt. Seonghwa, to spare his uncle.
_____
Seonghwa is half harpy in a world that sees nonhuman beings as other and unnatural, trapped in a life of piracy and kept against his will on board a scourge crew. But when the crew of the Horizon comes along and gives him a chance at a different life, he must find a way to settle into a life leagues apart from the one he's always known, try to fit himself into the tightly-knit fabric of the crew, while hiding the truth of himself. Can he while still finally allowing himself to be seen?Specific CW at beginning of each chapter

Summary
Pirates spend their lives hunting down treasure, but the most valuable treasure of all isn’t gold or jewels - it’s mermaid scales. After the majority of Captain Kim Hongjoong’s crew is decimated by disease, he has no choice but to turn to the hunting of mermaids to keep himself and his remaining men afloat. When a new pirate joins them, however, he struggles to maintain his control over his crew, his ship, and his emotions.
It’s only a matter of time until Hongjoong’s notorious reputation falls apart, but little does he know that darker plans are at play beneath the surface.
Mermaids can walk on land if they choose, but doing so is practically unheard of due to the risks. Seonghwa is the only living mermaid of his kind left, and after a life of hiding from ruthless hunters, he hatches a plan for revenge. He poses as a pirate and steps ashore for the first time in his life, all with the intent to destroy a certain captain, his crew, and his ship from the inside.
It’s only a matter of time until Seonghwa’s true identity is revealed, but he plans to destroy them all before it comes to that.

Summary
In a world in which humans and vampires live side by side, Seonghwa is a struggling human desperate for a steady income and a roof over his head. He applies to be a personal feeder for a vampire, to serve as a constant supply of blood and nothing more. However, he does not anticipate being assigned to the head of the most powerful coven in the area, Kim Hongjoong.
Seonghwa has never had a home, but he begins to find one in the least likely of places, discovering that Hongjoong and the vampires within his coven are kinder than most of the humans he’s encountered in his life. But humans look down on feeders, and Seonghwa catches the eye of many vampires as he becomes a permanent fixture at Hongjoong’s side.
He isn’t safe from anyone, humans or vampires alike, and when disaster strikes he finds himself more entangled with Hongjoong and his coven than he had ever expected.

Summary
When Seonghwa’s tour boat capsizes, sending all of its occupants into the churning waves, he and seven others manage to make it to a small island on the horizon, overgrown with vegetation and clearly bearing no other signs of human life. With high tensions, they are forced to work together to survive, and he easily gets along with all but one of his fellow castaways.
Hongjoong is closed off and hot-headed, and eventually Seonghwa gives up on the possibility of civility between the two of them. Still, as the nights come and go and time seems to stretch into one continual loop, he realizes there is more to Hongjoong than he’d initially thought.
The island becomes their new normal, and Seonghwa becomes so accustomed to life there that he can hardly remember what it was like before the world had forgotten about them. Never did they anticipate a rescue, nor the world’s obsession with the eight boys who came back from the dead.

Summary
Yunho sobbed desperately, clinging to Seonghwa even as he kept his dagger plunged into Seonghwa's broken heart.
If only he could go back. If he could just start all over again, he would do it all differently. Just one chance was all he asked, one chance to change the outcome of this heartbreaking tale. He would suffer a million deaths for a single chance to do it all again.
He would rewrite the stars and do everything in his power to save them all. To give them the lives that they deserve, one that didn't end in bloodshed and misery.
Please. Please give me one last chance. I want to save them!
Seonghwa could feel himself fading away, his eyes became heavy and his breathing was slow and shallow. He was dying. This was it.
Everything around him faded to black.
or the one where Seonghwa wakes up four years into the past after his tragic death and is given a chance to start over and change the past for the sake of the people he loves

Summary
The warning was there, they had time to make it out. When the power went out without a moment’s notice followed by the water disappearing shortly after, Seonghwa knew that his screaming instincts weren’t to be ignored like his roommate told him. The portable radio they used only screamed static except for the occasional alarming words that no one believed because it was April 1st and it was all supposedly a big prank.
That’s all it was, right? Some big prank? That’s what Seonghwa’s roommate told him at least, but look where his roommate was now.
Or: Seonghwa attempts to survive during a zombie apocalypse and ends up meeting six loyal men and one incredibly cold-hearted leader to keep him company as they try to make it out alive.

Summary
A man in a fedora stood before him.
“There are countless dimensions in the world... You’re going to make a mistake.”
“What mistake?” Hongjoong managed.
“The same mistake I did.”
In his black gloved hand was an hourglass.
The sand in the bottom of it was silvery lavender, like glowing stardust gathered in the bottom.“You’re going to try and save them.”
(Based on the teaser pics and film!)

Summary
The boy on the banner looked down at him with eyes full of hatred and a golden laurel wreath on his head that had been gained with more blood than any other.
Whenever Seonghwa saw the image of the victor, there was nothing but the memory of that cruel smile as he had slit yet another child's throat. Deeply etched into Seonghwa's memory to forever haunt him.
And the knowledge that he could never bring himself to do what Kim Hongjoong had done.
Or: When Seonghwa gets reaped to compete in the Hunger Games, he is not only sent to an almost promised grave - he is also assigned to be mentored by the infamous Kim Hongjoong. The victor with the highest kill count in the history of the Hunger Games.

Summary
Jiang Cheng is, all things considered, relatively content with his life. There are of course some days that are harder than others. Days where he still longs for approval from his long dead parents. Nights where he wishes his sister was still here to tell him how to calm Jin Ling's cries. Hours where the darkness in his room curls its icy fingers into his mind solely to remind him that he's so so alone.
On the daily though, he's relatively content. Almost happy, even. Raising one nephew and frequently babysitting the other, mending his relationship with Wei Wuxian, and drowning his sorrows in piles and piles of work. It's a simple life, but since he can't have what he lost, he supposes this is the next best thing.
𓂃☁︎ 𓂃 ࿆ 𓂃☁︎ 𓂃
Jiang Cheng and Lan Xichen broke each other's hearts in a blazing flame of a relationship. Now, after six years of dutifully ignoring one another, they are forced to come to terms with the fact that they are a permanent fixture in one another's lives. After an agreement to be civil at their brothers’ wedding, they determine if it’s possible to build a new friendship on the ashes of what they had.
