Summary
“I have always interpreted my lifelong interest in lists as a similar expression: the relief of asserting some superficial order over the unmanageable. The reduction of the infinite to the singular column, the imposition of linearity.”
— Melissa Febos, The Dry SeasonYuma watches him now, this stranger in a fading Tokyo University tee shirt who shares his walls and his bathroom.
It’s not that Jo looks uncomfortable. It’s just, he looks alone in a way the others don’t.
And maybe, Yuma thinks, that’s on him to fix.

Summary
Jo slowly wakes because of it. Or maybe not the cold, not entirely. Its opposite. The small circle of heat and weight near his arm.
Yuma, turned in sleep to his side. Close. His forehead presses lightly against Jo’s shoulder.
He’s asleep on me. He’s here. I could hold him.

Yuma played a prank on Jo. Jo retaliated and came out on top.
Or did he?
Today didn’t mark a single midday victory over Yuma.
Today marked the first day of a war.
Jo was delighted.

Summary
Seonghwa wants all of it tonight. They left their blood, sweat and tears on that stage, letting their bodies carry them when they felt themselves falter in the humid heat, and Seonghwa wants the same when it’s just the two of them now, stage makeup still on and product lingering in their hair. He wants the same frantic intensity, the same enormity of feeling, the same passion.
After taking on the biggest stage of their career, Hongjoong and Seonghwa learn something about letting loose and letting go.

Summary
If Jo had been lying down and facing the wall, then it would’ve been fine. It wouldn’t have mattered that he missed the extra pair of shoes in the foyer, he would’ve been fine leaving the door ajar. Yuma would’ve stumbled in and seen his still form, and assumed he was asleep.
But Jo forgot to lie down and face the wall. So Yuma stumbles in and finds him flinching through an orgasm, catching his release in a Kleenex, sighing out, “Kei-hyung–”
In October of 2018, six hundred and sixty-five million light years away from Earth, a small star was cannibalized in the dark void of space. It was just one-tenths the mass of our solar system’s sun. A postdoctoral fellow at the Space Telescope Science Institute observed the phenomenon for three months, and deemed the entire affair to be wholly unremarkable. There was no funeral.

Summary
“Uh, second of all,” Jo continues, “how would we pretend… to be… boyfriends? I told you, I’m bad at lying.”
“Well, I’m good at lying, so I’d do most of it,” Yuma says. “Maybe I’d tell people that one day, I saw your contact and hit you up out of the blue, because I always thought that you were attractive back in university. And then we went on a couple of dates, and I ended up really falling for you, and you returned my feelings. All you would have to do is look at me like you like me.”
Jo frowns.
“Yeah, that might be too hard for you,” Yuma concedes.
[Yuma needs a fake boyfriend. Jo is a terrible actor.]

Summary
Yuma squats beside him. Dust grits beneath his boots. The core reader on his belt gives a stuttering chirp—Jo’s signal, flickering, unstable. He should’ve pulled it days ago. Unit 454-KUR4. Priority dismantle. High-yield necrotech core, borderline custom-grade. Could’ve paid off two contracts, maybe three. Instead, he’s here. Watching a corpse draw love on shattered tech.
Jo lifts the panel gently, holds it toward him. “I think they knew each other,” he says. “In life.”
The sketch is precise, fluid: two figures, kneeling face to face. One places their hand on the other’s jaw, eyes closed. The creases at the corners of a smile. The slant of lashes. The outline of collarbones.
“It’s time we move,” Yuma says.
Jo nods. Doesn’t rise immediately. Only stares into the sketch, the way one stares into a well and wonders what might be looking back.
[post-apocalypse, Yuma is a tech scavenger contracted to harvest the necrocore of worker unit 454-KUR4]

Bookmarker's Notes
Heartbreakingly beautiful. The prose is exquisite, and the story made me cry. I think this may be author's magnum opus. I can't imagine anything to top this. This is at the top of my recommendations for readers in any fandom, any pairing.
