    Summary

    “I asked you a question,” Jongseong says, though his voice is softer.

    “My lord,” the courtesan finally says, his hands shifting as he folds his palms upwards. “I am here to serve you as you like for the night.”

    “Start with your name.” He is truly a pretty little thing, Jongseong thinks. It’s a pity he will have to die tonight.

    Or: Jongseong passes through a town en route to his next battlefield. It just so happens the mutiny decides a pretty courtesan has a knife with his name on it.

    Summary

    Captivating doesn’t begin to cut it, Sunghoon thinks. The cut of Sunoo’s cheek and the smile that seems to be for everybody but him. The twinkle in his eye. The sharpness, the aggression, the shadow of #7, the Mercedes in his mirror.

    He wants it all. He wants it all—the championship, the glory, and somehow, somewhere—Sunoo has snuck in there too.

    Or: When Lee Heeseung—the current reigning world champion—retires for the remainder of the 2025 Formula One season, Park Sunghoon is in sudden contention for a Formula One Championship. Only he doesn’t expect the familiar Kim Sunoo, to be there too.

    Summary

    He had nearly removed Jay off his friend-list in a fit of rage after the break-up, but he’s happy he’s kept him now. His cursor makes its way over before he could fit in an actual, reasonable thought about texting your ex—does it really matter, though, if it’s for min-maxing a video game?

    He sends him a party invite. Jungwon has the sudden itch to do a lap around his apartment, but Jay accepts instantly. Jungwon clicks into his profile; Jay doesn’t adjust his build. It’s a DPS-oriented solo, clearly meant to sweep the event on its own. And boy, it’s definitely strong enough.

    And a bit of an insane combination, Jungwon thinks. What is he thinking, putting Tattered Cloak R8 with Distant Adorer S4?

    Summary

    Jungwon has a habit of getting his heart broken. He’s devoted—but maybe sometimes too much, and other times not enough.

    And through each tumultuous moment and haphazard conversation, Jay is a reassuring presence every time.

    Or: Jay picks Jungwon up after each and every one of his break-ups. Eventually, it comes about that maybe, just maybe—he can pick him up for something new instead.

    Summary

    Because it’s the horrible, wretched truth: that Riko Moriyama needs Kevin Day more than Kevin Day needs Riko Moriyama. That the island that is number one can’t live without the ocean that grounds him, as hopeless as that seems, and that he’s drowned by the very sea that threatens to liberate him.

    Summary

    “Gods are only immortalized because they are meant to suffer, Kevin,” Riko said. “Don't get that wrong again.”

    Then why worship them, Kevin wanted to ask. Why do I worship you?

    Summary

    Maybe this is it. This is the curse that he must bear for the rest of his life, the docks that tether him to land, the ropes that bind him to suffocate him.

    But seemingly overnight, it gets worse. He goes from a tickle in his throat to splatters of blood in his sink to flowers in his palm during his classes. His team whispers, like they always do, but no one will ask, because there is no answer to give.

    Hanahaki is as violent as it’s ever been: so gruelingly innocuous until no one believes it, until no one sees it for what it is. After all, love is only a cure when both parties believe in it.

    Summary

    John Egan can’t wait forever, he thinks. He can’t wait that long. But try he might, he thinks. Even if it’s futile.

    Summary

    “You think me a fool,” Enjolras says, his voice cutting in the hushed silence. Sometime between their last words and now, Grantaire had closed his eyes, leaned back.

    “I think you foolish,” Grantaire snipes back. “There is a difference.”

    “Not a large one.”

    “Perhaps to you. How did such a question come to be?”

    “I am enamored by what you think is worthless.”

    “Subjectively so,” Grantaire reminds him. “I think your title is worthless but in objectivity, it is not. You think my lament is worthless, but to me it is everything.”

    Or: Enjolras, stranded with his radical political ideals, tries not to feel too lost alone in an estate his father has gifted him in an attempt to change his mind. He wastes his days lounging, letting Grantaire's presence be his favourite company.

    Summary

    There is much to say, perhaps, and too little time to say it. Apologies, tears, arguments: he can think of a list he's conjured up over these past few months about Riko. But it does not matter anymore, because Riko is here, tangibly with him, and he will never leave again, because Kevin knows him like the truth.

    Summary

    They meet on a spring-sort-of-summer day, and all Kevin can think about is that he’s a bit obsessed with the carp streamers. Or koinobori, as Riko likes to call them.

    He thinks he likes them too. Or maybe that’s just because he likes when Riko teaches him how to make them.

    Summary

    Sirius Black doesn’t think it can get much lonelier than this.

    But they’re children. They’re barely children, and he’s crying in the cell just nearly opposite—close enough to hear, far enough to hide. He’s asking—no, begging—for his mother. He screams at some point, and Sirius can hear his cousin’s screeching laugh from down the hall.

    It does get lonelier, and Barty Crouch Jr. is a manifestation of that.

    Summary

    Regulus hasn’t seen Barty in three years. But when his brother gets married to the love of his life (as they like to remind him constantly), he invites Lily Evans, who invites Mary MacDonald, who invites Marlene McKinnon, who invites Dorcas Meadowes, who invites Pandora Lovegood, who invites Evan Rosier—who invites Barty Crouch Jr., Regulus’ former best friend and longtime crush.

    It’s been three years, and as Regulus practises his officiant speech, he sees Barty arrive in a devastatingly good suit, which reignites all the fervour in his heart that he once believed lost.

    Or: Sirius and Remus are getting married, and both of them are getting tired putting up with Regulus’ ridiculous moping. What’s a better romantic situation than a wedding to set the two up?

    Summary

    For as long as he can remember, Barty has loved Regulus. He’s loved him since they sat together on the train, loved him since Regulus confessed that he was in love with him, and loved him ever since the day he left. It’s easy to forget there was a time before he knew Regulus, and before Regulus buried himself so deep in the grave that is Barty’s soul. He thinks he will never be able to remove the other, and it’s the way he likes it: Regulus’ heart beats with his in his ribcage. And when Regulus leaves to hunt down a Horcrux, all Barty does is wait. He’ll be back tomorrow, he thinks. He’ll be back forever.

    Or: Barty loves Regulus, and is willing to follow him to the ends of the earth.
