Summary
In a world where Alphas, Betas and Omegas are treated unequally; where the world is dominated by only a handful of established packs; where might is right, Chan’s pack runs distinctly against the mould.
Frustrated by the system, and wishing to live their lives on their own terms, Chan’s ragtag pack of strays decide to move away from the city, and set up their own coffee shop, where they manage to continue undisturbed for seven years - disadvantaged but happy in their own ways.
They are undisturbed, that is, until one fateful day, when two undeniably odd packs are brought together, pasts are brought back to light, and Jisung is face to face with an Alpha he had thought he’d never see again.

Other times, it's not.

Summary
“I can taste it.”
Kaveh lifts a brow. “What?”
Isn’t that the point of drinking coffee? Tasting it? He knows some folks consume it for the alertness it brings them, but he and Alhaitham had always been connoisseurs of complex blends and—
“I can taste you.”
Suddenly, the room feels hotter than the desert.
Or, Kaveh accidentally starts scenting Alhaitham's coffee each morning, which spirals into something quite different that may finally force them to confront the growing something between them.

Summary
When Kaveh and Alhaitham became a couple, everyone thought they would break up within the month.
…And everyone had been wrong, thank you very much. They survived a full year sharing a home, sharing a life, sharing a cat.
And really, Kaveh should consider one year and three months quite an achievement, given that this was Alhaitham he had been putting up with for all that time, with his absurd idiosyncrasies and infuriating jabs. It should have been obvious from the beginning that Kaveh would never be able to exchange wedding rings with someone with such an impressively awful eye for interior design.
Or: Kaveh breaks up with Alhaitham. But they keep shared custody of the cat.

Summary
Prowl gets fired. Starscream has a solution.
-
“I shouldn’t have to spell this out for you,” Starscream leaned in. “There must be something under those panels of yours. For once in your miserable life use them.”
Prowl’s face suddenly filled with glorious colour.
“You’re suggesting I engage in an interface with …Optimus?!” He demanded, his blue optics wild.
Starscream shrugged, “Unless you’d like me to do it for you?”

Summary
“Your highness.” Changbin said softly. A plea for Chris to rein in his alpha.
Chris forced himself to unclench his jaw. “Don’t threaten my mate.”
“You stole mine.” Minho hissed. “If you so much as harmed a hair on his head, I will become an agent of vengeance upon your lands in ways you can’t even imagine.”
Chris willed himself to stay calm. Minho’s very being encompassed barely contained wrath. One wrong move and Chris knew the situation would explode. A chill crawled down his spine.
This wasn't posturing.
It wasn't diplomacy.
It wasn't a military commander making threats for leverage.
This was a mated omega whose partner had vanished.
