Llewellyn is the forgotten princess who just wants to leave the palace and become a nun, but she has bigger problems at the moment. She's been put under a lust curse that's slowly building up until she loses control and sleeps with a man who she can't even remember. Now she has to balance (or refute) the affections of the national hero who she blames for the death of her mother, a surprisingly invested guard, and a priest who is the secret son of the pope. I think the sex scenes in this one are actually well done and the story so far is interesting. My only complaint is that I don't love the guy who she's pretty clearly going to end up with, but that's just personal tastes. Trigger warning: drunk sex equivalent (curse).

A oneshot about the happily married couple Hikari and Shuuichi who met in high school, and ever since, Shuuichi has been very vocal about his love for Hikari. But Hikari starts to wonder if she's reciprocating enough. Cute quick read with some smut at the end. No trigger warnings.

Mizuho got sick of city life, quit her job, and moved back to her hometown where she ended up working for her father's friend Sugahara. Sugahara is sweet and takes good care of her, making her think he sees her as a child, but when she tries to quit her job to move on to other things, she learns that is very much not the case. A cute, quick oneshot. No trigger warnings.

Midori is a teacher who's embarrassed to be an adult woman who likes cute things. She runs into the rich man Riyuji who's open about his love for cute things, and they really hit it off, but she can't help but be uncomfortable with how much money he spends on her. A cute oneshot. No trigger warnings.

Chihiro is a regular office lady who likes to have steamy fantasies in her spare time, and that attracted the incubus Remu who now feeds on her every night and lives in her house. But when Chihiro falls in love with Remu, she worries he sees her as just a meal, and meanwhile, he worries she might be in love with someone else. Cute story for an incubus, though it's a oneshot so it goes by fast. No trigger warnings.

The story of Yuki and Yoshi, a newly married couple who are trying to get used to each other, and Yuki isn't sure if she can keep up with Yoshi's sex drive. No trigger warnings.

Ever since Kanna first met her boss, Kiryu, he's been proposing to her every day. He's a handsome, high-spec man, but she can't bring herself to say yes since his reason is that they were supposedly married in another life. But when she finally begins to spend time with him, she finds herself quickly falling head over heels. Her only worry is that he may not see her for who she is, but as the replacement of the wife he knew in his previous life. I liked when they finally showed the wife's story from the previous life. No trigger warnings.

Ch.1-3 - Komaki and Tasuku are a perfectly happy married couple who met as if by fate! The only problem is, they both have secrets they're desperately hiding. Tasuku doesn't want Komaki to find out he used to be a host, and Komaki doesn't want Tasuku to realize she was actually his stalker for many years prior to their first real "meeting." So how will he react when the truth inevitably comes out? A quick comedy romance that's a fun read. Trigger warning: stalking. Ch.4 - The story of Tasuku's former coworker, the host Kitsubei and his longtime girlfriend, Yui. Kitsubei starts to think he wants to really invest in this relationship and get married, but he can't help but worry that Yui doesn't even seem to care he meets with other women! No trigger warnings (I think, I didn't read it that closely). Ch.5 - After Izuma got drunk with her boss Takamine and woke up in his bed, she worried something had happened, but he coldly told her he was "almost a virgin," meaning he hadn't had sex in a long time. Izuma is worried her boss now thinks she's loose, but meanwhile, he's getting transferred and her chances to clear up this misunderstanding may be slipping away. No trigger warnings.

Ami has always been in love with her aloof childhood friend, Mioto(Mimi), and though she's not secretive about it, things have stayed fairly platonic between them. But when she becomes an adult, she learns that due to her familial ties to a mermaid, she's cursed so that she has to hear the one she loves say that he loves her once a week or she will die. After that she and Mimi move in together and he fulfills the requirement as they grow closer, but even though they're living a happy couple's life, Mimi still can't bring himself to totally accept her love since he feels like she could do better. Honestly, very little conflict, mostly just two idiots in love. No trigger warnings.

Nene is an orphan living at the church and working selling matches until the priest sends her to work at the local manor, where she meets the lord and his nephew, Hal. Nene and Hal fall in love, but meanwhile, the priest who raised her is running a sex trafficking/arson ring using the girls he raised, and he thinks it's time to get Nene into it. Not really my thing. Trigger warnings: sex trafficking, arson, attempted rape, statutory rape, child abuse.
