It's Rin and Sousuke's five-year anniversary and they've decided to celebrate with a nice dinner at home. While preparing dinner, Sousuke innocently mentions something from their past that Rin would love nothing more than to forget.
I enjoyed this quick read that shows a cute slice of life for Rin and Sousuke. There are a good amount of fluffy moments, but also humor and just a dash of angst. Check it out!
Greetings fellow yaoi lovers! This week's feature is the Free! doujinshi, Kimi to Kanaeru 1000 no Negai (1000 Wishes Fulfilled with You) by mo-ju-kan.
The Samezuka swim team plans the perfect surprise birthday bash for Sousuke.
This is one of the best doujinshis I've read in a while because it left me with such a happy feeling at the end. There is a lot of heart to this story, but it also has some great humor! Not only is the story itself cute, but I really liked the way it was drawn, especially Rin's character!
Please give this wonderful dj a try! You won't be disappointed!
Agron is awakened in the middle of the night by a nightmare and is having a tough time going back to sleep. It woudn't hurt to make a smoothie to help relax his wide awake mind, right?
This au is so cute! It's part of a longer modern au that habibinasir is currently working on and I can't wait to read it! You will go through a gamut of emotions during this one-shot, but it'll all be worth it when you make it to the end! Definitely check this one out!
It's movie night and Connor is a little annoyed by Oliver's extra caution when it comes to getting close. Well, Connor has the perfect remedy...
This is an adorable one-shot that goes perfectly with the short clip (above) from the season two trailer of HTGAWM (which premieres TOMORROW!!!). You will chuckle to yourself as you watch Connor pull out all the stops to get his boyfriend's attention. Definitely recommended!
Good morning yaoi lovers!! This week's selection is Omowaseburi na Kimi no Tonari by Tenzen Momoko
Through his friend’s introduction, friendly and cheerful Nishino became
roommates with Maki, his kouhai in university. Living with the
unsociable Maki, whose personality is the opposite of his, makes him
feel troubled all the time. But after realizing Maki’s kindness and
consideration, he gradually felt comfortable being with him.
This quick read is really sweet! I liked watching the two opposites slowly find a common ground and learn not only live with each other, but respect and admire one another. Of course, feelings come into play and their awkward confessions and misunderstandings will make you chuckle. I wasn't particularly fond of the drawing style; sometimes it looked great and other times it looked odd. However, that did not deter me from enjoying this adorable story!
When Nasir gets into a pretty serious accident, he's lucky to make it out alive. He has a few bumps and bruises, but none of that matters when he comes face-to-face with the most gorgeous man he's ever laid eyes on...who also happens to be one of the brawny firemen rescuing him.
Agron feels an instant connection to the small man he's just pulled from a mangled car. He wants to know everything about him, but there's a pretty major obstacle in the way, his boyfriend Varro.
HOT! Even though this story is still in its beginning stages, I am thoroughly enjoying it! The chemistry between Agron and Nasir sparks brightly and is palpable. I can't wait to see how this story unfolds and if Agron and Nasir will be able to take their relationship forward. ~ M

After a bad break up, Ben finds himself back at home living with his father and grandmother. He's heartbroken and embarrassed and wants nothing more than to wallow in his bed forever. However, his feisty grandmother knows that's no kind of life and encourages him to start interacting with the living again. When it seems that the entire town tries to set him up with the handsome new veterinarian, who also happens to be be Ben's high school crush, Matt, Ben fights it tooth an nail. Matt is a great guy, but he's just not ready for a relationship after the painful break up he just experienced. Will Ben be able to let go of the past and look to a potentially happy future?
I thought this was an extremely sweet story. Ben was an interesting character, but it was Matt who stole the show for me. He was all around wonderful: patient, kind and sweet. While reading, I sometimes thought he was little too good for Ben. I expected there to be some miscommunication and a "big misunderstanding", but Ben acted borderline ridiculous at times. He was so stuck inside his head and what he thought was real that he ignored everything else (e.g. reason and common sense) around him. All in all, I enjoyed this sweet story that was a good mix of angst, romance and pining.

After being injured as a child, Haru, a merman, has been living in a marine facility. Fortunately, he befriended Makoto, the son of one of the scientists, who taught him how to communicate via sign language and helped make his life just a little easier. When another injured merman is brought to the facility, Makoto and Haru are faced with a new adventure.
This is a beautifully written story that has captured my heart. Due to Future Fish, most Free! fans already see Haru as a merman. There are plenty of merman stories out there, but this one is unique in that Haru has spent most of his life with humans at the facility. He's been able to forge a close bond with Makoto that's really sweet to watch.
Good morning yaoi lovers! This week's feature is the Free! doujinshi, Mou Ichido Koi wo Suru by Overrunner.
When they were kids, Rin confessed to Haru just before he left for Australia. Even though they knew they would be apart, Rin promised he would come back for Haru stronger than ever and they could be together. However, years later, Haru is shocked and frustrated by how cynical and downright mean Rin has become. He seems to have lost his innocence and forgotten the promise he made so many years before. Will he remember or will Haru have to release his feelings and memories from the past?
This is quite an emotional read. One moment my heart was warmed by the sweet words Rin said and in the next I was frustrated and wishing that Haru would just move on. I won't give away the ending, but it's not exactly what you may expect. Give this dj a try! Even if you're not a fan of the RinHaru ship, it's a good read overall!
Spartacus runs a quaint restaurant with his friends whom he considers his family, especially after the tragic loss of his wife. Nasir and Agron didn't meet on the best of terms, and ever since there has been a permanent scowl on Agron's face whenever Nasir is around. Nasir wishes that the man would give him a chance to show him that he's changed, but he fears that will never come to pass.
What a wonderfully adorable story! The entire Sparty crew is back and acting as rambunctious as ever! This is a pretty quick read, so I don't want to give away anymore of the plot, but give this cute one shot a try!

When Connor's past hits a little too close to home, Oliver's doubts and low self esteem rise to the surface.
Wow! If you're in the mood for an emotional read, this is definitely the story for you! BUT have no fear, there is a HEA, but getting there is all part of the fun! Please give this beautiful one shot a try! You won't be disappointed!
While in the midst of moving, Nasir is pulled over for speeding. Can this day get any worse? If the hot cop walking towards his car is any indication, maybe not.
All I can say about this one shot is that it is absolutely adorable! The tense, but awkward flirting between Nasir and Agron was so much fun to read and I found myself laughing on quite a few occasions. Definitely give this cute story a try!
Wyatt is a successful country music star who has harbored a serious crush on his band mate, Bryce. They spent six great months on tour together and grew very close. However, Wyatt is sure his good friend is as straight as an arrow and would never return his feelings. Because of this, Wyatt has been suffering from writer's block. His manager and the record company are frantic desperate, so they enlist Bryce's help to cheer Wyatt up and inspire him. What happens next neither man could have imagined.
I was really intrigued by the first half of this short story. I liked seeing how Wyatt's melancholy was affecting not only his life, but his lucrative career. The rapport between Wyatt and Bryce was really great to see as well, until things took a turn. That's when the book started to read like angsty fanfiction and I wondered what happened. The reasoning behind Wyatt's actions were silly and I couldn't believe this grown man actually thought it was okay to do what he did. If I were Bryce's friend, I would have told him to run far, far away and never look back.
While the overall premise was interesting, this book just didn't work for me.

Growing up, Nagisa always thought fate would bring him the love of his life. Each of his past relationships started in some kind of magical way, but also ended very badly. Cynical and frustrated, the last thing he wants is to think about relationships.
When Rin sets him up with the nerdy, awkward, yet strangely endearing Rei, Nagisa tries his best to fight the feelings he knows are developing.
I had the pleasure of reading this story in almost one sitting and I loved every moment. Nagisa, as always, is adorable and sweet, but also harbors a lot of hurt, fear and confusion. Rei, who always believed love to be illogical, will make your heart melt with his lovely gestures and kind words. pointok did a wonderful job balancing the heartbreaking angst with heartwarming fluff. If you're a Reigisa fan, you will definitely want to check this one out!
