At school, on the subway, on the empty road home, in his adoptive parents’ house, in his room… Strange, shadowy, damp and clammy eyes seemed to watch him everywhere. At the same time, he began finding large numbers of trails left by crawling mollusks in his room every day. And before all this, the only unusual thing he’d done was offer a kind hand to the illegitimate son everyone at school despised. The year Xiao Wei lost his parents was also the year his adoptive parents lost their only biological son. He and his adoptive parents buried their family member, laying him to rest beneath the earth. Yet not long after the funeral, his adoptive brother, who had already died, came back. No one noticed anything strange about his sudden return, not even the adoptive brother himself. It was as if he had always been at home, as if he had never died. Only Xiao Wei knew. His adoptive brother was a monster wearing human skin. He was terrified. . Strict family rules, adoptive parents who argued constantly, and a stifling, oppressive gloom that always hung over the house. Under such pressure, the adoptive brother only grew more outstanding: disciplined, mature, considerate, and admired by all. Xiao Wei, too, gradually forgot the fear he’d felt as a child, and came to see him as the only safe haven in the family. He never noticed that as he grew older, his adoptive brother’s gaze grew stranger and stranger, just like the crawling trails that appeared in his room every day: sticky and wet… · A sinister, crawling nonhuman gong x a vulnerable human shou How Can a Sweet Little O Comfort a Dark, Obsessive Enigma? A calculating, down-on-his-luck obsessive gong x a somewhat calculating but mostly clueless beauty, an EO pairing, with a size difference and a skin-tone contrast. Set in space. A powerful Enigma is framed by political enemies, suddenly disgraced, and left for dead on a garbage planet. The shou takes him in, but his memories have regressed to the darkest period of his life, after more than a decade of violent abuse. The shou is the only child on the garbage planet with any chance of presenting as an omega. Many people have their eyes on him, hoping to get their hands on him when he presents. If he does, he won’t be facing one partner, but many. So he has been taking medication to suppress his presentation, until he takes in the gong. He thinks he’s taken in a stray dog, but he’s actually let a wolf into his home. Not only does his attempt to leverage the gong’s debt of gratitude fail, but while trying to seduce him, the gong’s out-of-control pheromones cause the suppressants to stop working on the spot, and the shou presents as an omega right in front of him. From then on, the gong makes him cry and gasp every night. He tries to curse the gong out, but he’s so bad at it that the worst insult he can manage is “bitch.” Dark, obsessive gong: Sounds good. I like it. Say it more. Snuggle up to your husband. Lick, lick, lick. Theme: Be happy, and live joyfully.
