Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #master x servant(8)

Good short stories with some possessive and/or protective semes

So cute! Though kissing at a time like that is an acquired taste

This was an epic story that followed 2 couples. The relationships and friendships between the MCs were so close that it felt like one amazing saga. The first couple were Aoi (omega, former heir to Toujou house) and Jirou (alpha, heir to the Saionji house) who are in a soulbond together. The second couple were Miyauchi (beta, butler to Aoi, traumatic history, challenges destiny) and Kudou (alpha, head butler to Saionji house, looks like a criminal but very kind), and in their story Miyauchi is unwilling to commit to a real relationship because he thinks Kudou will one day meet his fated mate and toss him aside. The stories have the characters from each liberally involved in both stories, giving this a rich feeling that suits being presented in a single volume. It’s definitely a recommended read.

I liked the touch of sadness and loneliness in this story. It made falling in love that much of a sweeter balm for bth MCs. This story would flow much better if it ‘ended’ at the moment of happiness together. Then, title the future parts as an epilogue and extras and it would flow perfectly and be satisfying (instead the jump was very jarring).

Sexy role play between an established pair

A better brother than the oldest, but sadly the story is unfinished despite being marked complete.

Sweetly wholesome story about Saoiniji Kaede, a young master with a penchant for shoujo manga and a dream of finding his own prince one day. Serving him as his butler and bodyguard is Kiryuu Yoshitsugu, who has loved Kaede selflessly since they were both children. Today, they start high school, and despite his best intentions Yoshitsugu struggles to be ok with Kaede finding a senpai prince on the first day. I liked this sweet pair. The protective nature of the knight like Yoshitsugu was often humorous and it was balanced well by the positive natured Kaede and a host of fun secondary characters

Trigger Warning: Rape The first story was dark and disturbing with rape and what amounted to Stockholm Syndrome. The remaining 2 were odd and difficult to follow. The last was the nicest, but it was still confusing.
