Summary
“It hurts me to see you like this,” Seungmin said louder, his patience thinning.
“Then leave,” Jeongin growled, trying to yank himself away. Seungmin pulled him closer.
“Not once.” Seungmin’s voice had dropped to ice. The temperature around them seemed to lower as he forced Jeongin to look him in the eye, frost dripping off his words. “Not once have I ever left you. Not once have we ever left you behind. I will never leave you. No matter how much you run.”
“You’ll cross heaven and Earth,” Jeongin muttered at the same time Seungmin did. Seungmin blinked but continued.
“So stop running,” Seungmin said softly. “Come back to us.”

i love this
taste profile for this fic is metallic tang when you got blood in your mouth, gunpowder, the fabric of time, grandma’s cursed knife, liminal spaces with 5% survival rates, turning into a different person because you had to in the worst ways possible, and the sweet cherry smell of death

Summary
He had spent many weeks, months even, thinking about his feelings and what they meant, but he hadn’t been able to come up with a word to describe it yet. Perhaps one day he would, and then he could finally become Minho’s -
“Ah, lover!” Minho exclaimed happily, making Seungmin choke on his coffee, his eyes wide.
Or, Seungmin and Minho solve crosswords together on a Sunday morning when Seungmin realizes what love is.

Summary
When Minho went to buy groceries, he saw Jisung’s face on the cover of a magazine at checkout. Hands shaking, he picked it up. It was their newest issue. Jisung’s face was smooth, flawless. He looked perfect. He looked like a stranger. Minho was filled with the sudden urge to cry. He didn’t.
If Minho had to describe Jisung in one page, nothing in the magazine would’ve made the cut. Jisung was a force of nature. He was the storm and the sun after rain. He was stubborn and wonderful and kind. Minho loved him still and knew at that moment that he always would — in silence, in loneliness, through phone and TV screens.
My superstar, he thought, and tried to smile even as it felt like his heart was breaking all over again. Mine, and everyone else’s.

Summary
"Because, Kim Seungmin," Minho leans even closer, voice dropping an octave, "I need this marriage, and I think…it might help you too."
"Yeah?" Seungmin hates that it comes out more uncertain than cutting. Hates their sudden proximity, the distinctly floral scent of Minho's cologne, the unbuttoned top-button of Minho's dress shirt, the glimpse of chiselled clavicle beneath it.
Kim Seungmin is a lot of things: mid-tier romance novelist, youngest son of a chaebol family, begrudging liker of sushi restaurants. What he is not, is in love with his husband.

Summary
“What,” Chairman Lee huffs, looking between the two of them with eyes narrowed in suspicion. “You two are dating, aren’t you? That’s why Minho won’t go on any of these blind dates?”
Before Minho can respond to that, Seungmin cuts in. “With all due respect, Chairman, I’m not gay.” His gaze flicks over to Minho, and Minho catches just the faintest glint of mirth in his eyes before Seungmin opens his big mouth again. “And if I was, the president would not be my type at all.”

Summary
“This place should be condemned,” Minho says, peering around at the rotted crown moldings and water-damaged floorboards.
“But you can fix it, right? Make it better again?” He doesn’t want to go through a lengthy interview process or to juggle multiple contractors tackling multiple parts of the house. He just wants one person with the patience and expertise to fix everything that’s broken.
Minho looks at him meaningfully. “I can fix anything,” he says.
Seungmin hires him on the spot.

Summary
“My entire existence is built on a lie,” says Seungmin. “I’m sure speaking a couple won’t hurt.”“Prove it.” Minho leans forward in his seat. “Is the sky purple?”
“Of course,” Seungmin answers smoothly.
“Fair enough,” says Minho, sitting back upright. "Good to know you can lie openly to my face. Really makes me feel at ease."
Seungmin rolls his eyes for the second time in one minute.
My (23M) new friends are trying to get me to save a changeling boy (almost 21M) from being taken back to Faery in less than ten days. How do I break it to them that he's my ex?

Summary
“Nonsense!” Chan refutes, spreading his hands wide in welcome. “There’s always someone. Luckily I persuaded my own friend to tag along at the last minute too, in case of a case like this. He’s right over -- oh, there he is. Minho!” he yells, and Seungmin freezes.
It can’t be. There are so many Minhos in the world, and in this university, there must be. It’s gotta be a different Minh--
“Lemon man!” a cheerful voice calls, and suddenly all traces of fatigue leave Seungmin’s body like a charged spirit ascending into the sky, replacing every single bodily cell with stiff resignation.
No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no--
“Wagwan, bestie. Is this my assigned partner?” Minho beams, throwing an arm around Seungmin’s shoulder and squeezing. “We’re going to have so much fun together!”
--> "Hostile acquaintances" Seungmin and Minho are paired together in a buddy system when Seungmin starts university. With no way to escape Minho, will Seungmin manage to stumble his way through first year?

Summary
“First of all,” Chan sighs, the bags under his eyes revealing how exhausted he is, “I’m glad none of you are injured.”
“I have a bruise on my shin,” Jeongin chirps, just to be helpful. He immediately regrets it when he sees the overflowing worry on Jisung’s face and the way Hyunjin looks like he’s about to have a stroke. “It doesn’t hurt. I’m fine,” He immediately amends.
“You,” Changbin seems torn between praising Jeongin or scolding him, “Roundhouse kicked him in the crotch.” He accusingly points to wide-eyed Felix next, “And you swung him around like you were playing helicopter and he was the skipping rope.” Changbin flits his eyes to Seungmin, sees the smile of no regrets, and weakly buries his face in his hands, “I don’t even want to think about what you did.”
Minho winces, scrolling through his phone, “We’re viral. We’re so, so viral.”
(Or, BokSeungAh, and their tendency to be badass when the hyungs aren’t there to stop them.)

Polaris-13. The elusive planet so brightly dubbed back in 313 when it was first discovered. It's a smaller planet, the circumference of it less than even Dwarf-24 is. It does not orbit any sun or planet, does not have a set path across the universe, nor is it ever found in the same place twice.

Summary
The small cottage, ivy winding its way up towards the roof, was something he’d expect to stumble across at the edge of a forest, not in the middle of a bustling city like Seoul. Magic seemed to swirl around the place and seep from every fissure and crack in the walls, as warm, welcoming light spilled out of the windows of the ground floor.
There was an insistent tugging in Chan’s chest that urged him to step closer.
Chan is just looking for a way to break his curse. He finds a place that feels suspiciously like home along with it.

Summary
“I’m out of clean clothes,” Minho grumbles in complaint. “I only packed enough outfits for a 2 or 3 day trip. How much longer is this going to take?”
“Believe it or not, Stockholming you into taking me back has proven to be a very long and drawn out process, hyung.”
Seungmin hops in the car after receiving his divorce papers in the mail. He types in the address on the navigation app on his phone. Destination: Minho or bust.

“I think you like taking care of me, hyung.”
“Mm,” Minho hums, all noncommittal nonchalance, but Seungmin can see the way his ears start to tint a pretty pink. “Maybe you’re just stupid, then.”

Summary
“That’s just how they flirt.” Jeongin smirks, popping the lid back on after giving the drink a good stir, and then slipping the cup inside of a corrugated sleeve to prevent any third-degree burns.
“Minho constantly threatening to pour cement down Seungmin’s ear canal while he sleeps constitutes as flirting?”
"It’s his subtle way of bragging that they share the same bed.”
“You have such an active imagination, Yang Jeongin.”
“And you have a concerning inability to read the room.”

Summary
When he closes his eyes, he can see Changbin stepping into their house for the first time. He can see Hyunjin's grin when they told him they were fostering him. He can see Jeongin's mother, young and so desperate for her child to have a home. He can see Jisung and Seungmin, bright hearts overshadowed by labels they could do nothing about. He can see Minho, as the baby that started it all.
He's felt this six times before.
At this point, what difference does fostering a seventh kid really make?
--
alternatively: bang chan and his ever-growing family learn that love isn't what you're given, but what you make of it.

“I just like kisses!” Jisung exclaimed, throwing his hands up out of frustration. “Why won’t you let me kiss you? You’re all over Seungmin on a good day but you won’t let me give you a kiss? Don’t be brophobic!”
(Or: 5 times Jisung tries to kiss Hyunjin and gets rejected, and the (1) time Hyunjin finally lets him.)

Summary
If asked, Seungmin will say that he was given a choice.
In reality, it is not much of a choice at all.
It is perhaps the loneliest thing in the world to be in love with one’s husband.
