All Roads Lead to This
Cedric and Rueben have been best friends since sixth grade, and cannot imagine life without each other – Cedric was there for Rueben when he came out to his family, and Rueben was there for Cedric through every step of his transition.
Now, both twenty-four and working at the same plant shop, their boss gets an opportunity to receive some extremely rare plants she’s wanted for years, except there’s a problem: the plants need to be collected in person from across the country, and she cannot make the journey herself. Rueben, ever helpful, is quick to volunteer him and Cedric to travel across the country in her place.
Cedric is apprehensive about the trip, both because he hates sudden changes to his routine, and because he may or may not have a few secrets he hasn’t told Rueben about. Secrets like the fact that he might be in love with his best friend…

Wish Lists Lead to This
Whenever Seb wants to get something done, he makes a list, and he sets deadlines. He’s been in Cape Town for 2 years and has yet to do all the touristy things the city has to offer, so he’s set his 24th birthday as his deadline to do 100 things on the list he’s come up with.
JJ’s in a rut. He has no friends hates his job (working at a shirtless waiter at a gay bar isn’t all it’s cracked up to be), and is sick of one-night stands. After an awkward encounter with a former crush, JJ finds himself roped into helping Seb accomplish an item on his list – but plans change after he finds a box of abandoned kittens the day he’s suppose to meet up with Seb.
When the two decide to foster the kittens together, they’re both surprised at how well they get along, since on paper they’re exact opposites – especially after their new budding friendship turns into something more complicated after JJ finds a secondary, secret list in the back of Seb’s notebook…

The Full Moon Problem
Felix was raised by a family who upheld traditional medicine over all modern medicine – so when he turned 18 and started transitioning, Felix had to run away from home if he wanted to live his authentic life. Now, ten years later, he’s surprised when his aunt passes away and leaves him a house, far from the place he left.
Leaving an unfulfilling life in London to give country living a try, Felix is soon overwhelmed by the amount of books on folk medicine and gardening his aunt left to him. Wanting to reconnect with her memory, Felix decides to give the family craft he’s always shunned a try, and soon the locals are asking him for the remedies they had relied on when his aunt was alive.
One of those locals is Declan, the handsome deliveryman who immediately catches Felix’s eye. Declan is shy and reclusive, but Felix manages to chip away at Declan’s walls and soon discovers his secret: Declan is a werewolf who loses control on full moons, and only a potion Felix’s aunt used to make can help him gain back that control. Felix is determined to make this potion correctly and help Declan… and maybe fall in love in the process?

Finding Bliss
After Jet realised she was unhappy with her life, she put a plan into action to transition, quit her job as a lawyer, and pursued her true dream: becoming a tattoo artist. Bliss is the seventh artist Jet has met with in the hopes of finding her perfect match, and after some encouragement (that is, him figuring out they’re both trans and neurodivergent), he agrees to an apprentice trial run.
Unfortunately, things don’t go to plan. Jet takes a few too many liberties at the job, and Bliss is hopelessly attracted to her, everything about her tests his submissive instincts. Hoping to find some form of release after a month of sexual tension, Bliss heads to his favourite kink club, only to find Jet there. It doesn’t take a lot of persuasion for him to agree to be her model for a shibari demonstration.
