    Summary

    When Peter gets sick of his friends spamming the group chat with memes mocking him for not confessing the truth to Erik, he decides to get it over with and tell Erik that he's his son...over text.

    But there's one more hurdle: navigating texting etiquette. To Peter, anything less than two exclamation points is furious. To Erik, anything more than a period is sarcastic. And that's just the tip of the #iceberg.

    Will Peter and Erik be able to overcome their generational divide to finally become a family? Or will they have to say "L8R" to "ILY"?

    Summary

    Jaejoong launches into a rant about how his company basically forced him to become an idol again, even though he is completely against it. Which led him to meet Jung Yunho — the infuriating, arrogant, overly confident choreographer who is now somehow in charge of making sure Jaejoong dances. He complains about Yunho’s smirk, his attitude, his ridiculous level of assurance that Jaejoong will actually listen to him.

    Junsu listens with the patience of someone who has known Jaejoong long enough to expect these outbursts. Then, after a long pause, he leans back and grins.

    “Oh, you’re in trouble.”

    Jaejoong narrows his eyes. “What’s that supposed to mean?”

    “You sound obsessed.”

    “I am not obsessed. I’m annoyed.”

    OR: Rockstar Kim Jaejoong is stuck working with the most infuriating man he’s ever met. It’s only for two months, just eight weeks of pure torture, then he’ll never have to see Jung Yunho again. What could possibly go wrong?

    Summary

    Kim Dokja has always known that his soulmate has no interest in him. For Yoo Joonghyuk, renowned Ways of Survival esport champion, a psychic bond to some random desk jockey must be the most boring part of his life. It’s vexing, but Kim Dokja gets it.

    Until the day he learns that Yoo Joonghyuk never even knew the bond was there.

    What follows is a brand-new professional career, a journey through the memories of his long and checkered past with Yoo Joonghyuk, and a secret identity that really shouldn’t matter as much as it does.

    Summary

    “Are you from Tennessee–”

    “No,” Yoo Joonghyuk said flatly, without even looking at him. They were in the training rooms of the demon castle, where he was throwing knives at a photo of Dokja himself. On one hand, he was flattered. On the other hand, he was also intensely concerned.

    –Because,” Dokja said, exasperated, throwing Joonghyuk a dirty look he knew he could feel even with his face turned away. “You’re the only ten I see.”

    “That’s absolutely disgusting,” Yoo Joonghyuk said, and turned to hurl a knife at him. Dokja caught it in his hand reflexively. The hilt was still warm from his grip. “Try again tomorrow.”

    in an astonishing show of stupidity, kim dokja, a streamer, decides to seduce the final boss of the vr fantasy game three ways to survive in a fantasy world. spoiler alert: the final boss is not, in fact, an npc; he’s an actual streamer who has apparently been on the receiving end of kim dokja’s flirtations for months– also while streaming. what fun!
