Hatsukoi Wa Gunjou Ni Tokeru
Sweet, Lovely story about first love. Uke had sad backstory but after the slow but meaningful burn, all was good. I'm glad that the story gave us an epilogue into their further future but it did kinda just cut off. One love/sex scene that was pretty toned down and the only other smutty/glossed over scenes were of the sexual abuse.

Beautiful story amazingly compacted into such a short oneshot. It was more of a slow and pure friendship than a romantic older seme/younger uke type trope that I initially thought it would be. Rest assured for me this wasn't a shota story but more a sad journey of finding happiness without the smut.
Hanazono No Kioku
At first I wasn't impressed with the seme and thought this to be another shallow, yaoi read but as I kept reading all the pieces clicked in place and it turned out to be a pretty good read about facing depression, drugs and demons. Also had a smutless, cute oneshot about a cat and owner
Koukyuu No Arika
Slow paced story that was sad yet romantic in its own way. Poor uke was raped by his step dad and is trying to get through nightmares until he meets seme. Also had an interwoven side story about seme's ex which was pretty unromantic and meh.
Senya Ichiya - Shitone no Himegoto
What a surprisingly beautiful read. The synopsis, art style, character age gap and plot really didn't appeal to me but omg it was so superbly written, drawn and executed! The development of characters and the love was so well detailed and the ending felt complete. There were also sad moments and funny/cute moments and although I won't be re-reading a story like this over and over, it certainly deserves all the kudos it can get!
Cinematic Mirror
This was a well written story but felt like there were chunks missing that would have made this story great. There was no cheating per say, but the uke did leave after seme said something mean and started a transactional relationship with seme's colleague. Not a dark read but more gloomy. Would have also liked to see a more fleshed out ending
Acid Town
Wow, this story has everything! Mystery, action, romance, despair, m/f, mm. Even the smut scenes are tastefully covered up giving u an understanding without the graphic detail. Took me a while to really get into this as I found it a little too slow and Shounen Ai for my tastes but after the first few chapters, it got much more interesting. Definitely not a Shounen Ai read. Also started skimming all the gangsta politics stuff
