Fandom: ヲタクに恋は難しい | Wotaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii | Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku
Characters/Pairings: Momose Narumi/Nifuji Hirotaka; Nifuji Naoya/Sakuragi Kou; Kabakura Tarou/Koyanagi Hanako; Momose Narumi & Nifuji Naoya; Kabakura Tarou & Koyanagi Hanako & Momose Narumi & Nifuji Hirotaka & Nifuji Naoya & Sakuragi Kou
Rating/Category: PG13 / Gen;F/M
Genre: Slice of Life
Word Count: 20,088
Warnings: Coffee, proposals, and otaku references abound. (Also a canon-compliant baby.)
Summary: After watching Narumi play Coffee Talk, Naoya is inspired to open a café that specifically caters to an evening crowd. In order to get an idea of what's out there, he invites Narumi to visit various cafés with him to better understand the coffee scene outside of the [off-brand Starbucks] chain in which he's currently employed. (Narumi... maaaayyyyy use this as an excuse to take him to various collab cafés and get more of the collectable goods, but hey! They're still technically cafés, right?) Oh, and also, Naoya is planning on proposing to Kou after beating her at a video game, despite being the worst gamer ever. Which means Narumi needs to find a way to help him out. Too bad that Hirotaka's clearly not working on the same excuse.
Expect a lot of café culture, tons of nerdiness, and the occasional burst of romance and introspection as Narumi helps her future little brother in law make his dreams come true.

Title: How to Build a Bonfire
Author: box_of_doom & estelraca
Artist: pattrose
Fandom: Ohsama Sentai King-Ohger
Characters/Pairings: Jeramie Brasieri/Kaguragi Dybowski/Yanma Gast/Gira Husty/Rita Kaniska/Hymeno Ran
Rating/Category: T/Poly
Genre: Romance/Introspection
Word Count: 20,153
Warnings: Canon-typical references to violence and death
Summary:For the six kings of Terra, romance and sex should be the farthest thing from their minds.

They are good at fulfilling their duties. They protect their people; they keep the world intact; they handle one ridiculous assault after another. But they also find that maybe their fellow kings can be more than siblings in arms. Maybe, just maybe, romance can bloom on these battlefields—a romance unlike any that the stories have heralded before.

Given that these kings aren't like any that came before, perhaps they should have expected their love lives to be different, too.

Title: Heart In My Chest, Heart On Your Sleeve
Author: box_of_doom
Artist: xdiorix
Fandom: Wotaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii | Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku
Characters/Pairings: Kabakura Tarou/Koyanagi Hanako/Momose Narumi/Nifuji Hirotaka
Rating/Category: Teen / Multi/Other
Genre: Soulmate AU
Word Count: 10,265
Warnings:
Summary: Momose Narumi was done with soulmates. After all, it didn't matter how well a guy's hair matched the orange, green, or blue soulmarks swirling over her heart, they all turned out to be jerks, and most of them dumped her right after finding out that she was an otaku.

But that was all behind her. She had a new apartment and a new job now. And she had her childhood friend, Hirotaka, and Koyanagi, a cosplayer who was just as glad to have such a kindred spirit at work as she was, and Kabakura, who was a good senpai and very much her type, but apparently had already found at least one of his own soulmates. And their hair colours didn't matter at all. Right?

Title: There are simple times and painful times (Now, shall we begin again today from where we placed our bookmark yesterday?)
Author: box_of_doom
Artist: valiantbarnes
Fandom: Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku
Characters/Pairings: Queerplatonic Kabakura Tarou/Koyanagi Hanako/Momose Narum/Nifuji Hirotaka; with special guest appearance from Nifuji Naoya
Rating/Category: PG13/Gen (queerplatonic)
Genre: Slice of Life
Word Count: 11990
Warnings Discussion of pandemic lockdowns, some COVID paranoia and general discussion of COVID (though outside a mention of one or two real-life cases, nobody actually gets sick), canon-typical drinking
Summary: In which there is mourning the things that were cancelled and postponed due to COVID, procrastinating on things because time is soup, and exploring how virtual get-togethers are the best thing ever when in-person gatherings are less than ideal. Also, Animal Crossing. Lots of Animal Crossing. (And then, well, then there's building a new life together with the people who are the most important to Narumi in the world.)
