1: The uke was useless and wishy-washy, and the seme was so high handed and impulsively made, just, the stupidest decisions ever. 2.5* 2: The seme, again, is heavy handed and there was also the rape in the beginning and misuse of power at times. However, Daryl loves him and is now living an infinitely better life free of abuse, so. Plus the supportive brother doesn't hurt, either. 3.4 3: Story of the rejected friend from the first story and his hairdresser mentor. Very much forced and no real feelings came through. 2.5

Can't imagine how this is completed. Asami's being unfair, for sure. Asami works at the general store and can't stand the hairdresser on the 5th floor, for no good reason. He realises Asami hates him and tries to get Asami to change his mind. 4.3

Souhei is unable to enjoy sex unless he's tied down. As his sex friend, Lucas is happy to indulge him, yet as a man in love with Souhei, he yearns to set him free. I liked it more than I thought I would. Neither were especially lovable characters but the circumstances and plot endears them to the reader. I loved that Lucas was able to free Souhei from the confines of his trauma, and I liked his mom for being so supportive too. And I'm glad Souhei wasn't dense enough to let such a good thing go. As for his friemd, serves him right. Taking him for granted like that and trying to play God. Hmph. 4.5

It was a fairly rushed story about a hairdresser chasing after a princess with golden hair, locked away in a high tower, and a prince who was cursed. I can't say I enjoyed it, though I didn't hate it. It was shallow and rushed and there was nothing about it that stood out. 3.8
