The Hawthorne Confidante

Childhood best friends Yuji Itadori and you have been “practicing” kisses, touches, and everything short of going all the way for years with zero malice… but at Tokyo Jujutsu High those innocent sessions are starting to feel dangerously real, and Yuji’s sweet golden-retriever charm is slowly cracking into something much hungrier.

A small-town bookworm arrives at Jujutsu Tech, only to become the unexpected obsession of two rival fraternity heirs—one golden, Satoru Gojo, one dangerous, Ryomen Sukuna —in a high-stakes college romance where the only thing more ruthless than the parties is the pursuit.

You and Bakugo were always friends, nothing more. At least that's what you and everyone else thought.

You have been Katsuki Bakugo's best friend since middle school, and you know him better than most people ever will. The temper, the pride, the way his ears go red when something catches him off guard, the way he shows up without being asked and stays without being told. You have never said anything about what that means to you. Neither has he. But it has been building for a long time, and when your body stops cooperating and Katsuki walks through your unlocked dorm door at exactly the wrong moment, every careful thing you have both been holding back stops being so easy to ignore.

You and Satoru Gojo have been friends for six months—close enough for late-night texts, spontaneous plans, unnecessary visits, and the kind of familiarity neither of you quite knows how to explain. Somewhere along the way, friendship stopped feeling like enough. Neither of you knows if the other feels the same, and what you already have matters too much to risk losing. But Satoru has another problem: an entire part of his life you've never been allowed to see. Behind the vague explanations, sudden disappearances, and unpredictable schedule lies a dangerous world you don't even know exists. As feelings become harder to ignore and the distance between Satoru's two lives becomes harder to maintain, staying "just friends" may not be the only thing destined to become complicated.

The campus playboy has a weakness, and it's his introverted best friend. Satoru Gojo can charm anyone, but he's only ever clingy with you. Friends since high school, you're the one person he just can't seem to leave alone.

One ex, several volleyball players, two Miya twins, and absolutely no chance of a peaceful homecoming.

When Tony Stark's brilliant daughter meets the newest Avenger-in-training, their instant nerd connection may be hiding something neither of them expected.
