    Summary

    “You’re…my mentor?”

    Geonwoo hums, leaning down to rummage through a drawer hidden beneath the desk. The stretch bares just a sliver of tanned skin across the small of his back where his button-up has ridden high. The tendons in Xinlong’s neck pop like firecrackers when he wrenches his gaze away from the sight.

    “Good to know your ears work, I guess.”

    Xinlong knows he's lucky to be here. That doesn't make it any easier.

    or: you can't run away from the gay thoughts—they come with you. suddenly, xinlong is twenty-something and interning in diplomacy with a mentor he just can't figure out.

    Summary

    Ten years ago, Geonwoo and Xinlong met during residency and quickly became inseparable partners in surgery, ambition, and love. But five years ago, when the opportunity of a lifetime came knocking, one of them made a choice the other couldn’t forgive.

    Now, after half a decade of silence, they’re reunited as co-leads on a high-profile organ preservation trial that could change the future of medicine.

    The hospital sees a power duo. The board sees results. But behind closed doors, they're walking a flaming tightrope of cold professionalism, unresolved heartbreak, and an intense chemistry that hasn’t dulled with time.

    Set in the echoing halls of one of Seoul’s most prestigious hospitals, Anatomy of a Fall is a story about second chances, the wounds we carry, and the risk of letting someone hold the scalpel to your heart again.

     

    ⚠️ This fic is a WIP (Work In Pain). If you’re a “wait till it’s done” type of reader, no worries — bookmark, hydrate, and circle back once these idiots have kissed and cried it out. 🖤

    Summary

    “Magic is real,” Tsukishima says carefully and precisely, like the words taste foreign on his tongue.

    “We know.”

    Tsukishima nods.

    “I’m Tsukishima.”

    We know.

    It’s a beginning all over again.

    Summary

    Still, Hyunjin longs for Changbin like he breathes, even with the distance and even with the time. He’s hoping that maybe he just hasn’t given himself enough distance or enough time, and the more faraway countries he travels to and the more texts he leaves unanswered, the more his longing will wither away.

    It hasn’t worked yet. Not even a little. But he’s trying to get better, see?

    Hyunjin left town and ghosted his best friend. He’s forced to confront it at his friends' engagement party.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    this is literal actual poetry, im puking my guts and tender bruised beating heart out. one of those fics i genuinely wished i could erase my memory to witness all over again. had 3 songs looping throughout
    california and the subway - chappell roan
    we never dated - sombr
    better than i know myself - del water gap

    i could do a whole playlist much better (changbin’s playlist wld defo be superior to mine) but dear god this was an experience i implore u to allow this fic to overcome u the same way it did with me (note: i will comment my full thoughts on the fic upon completion!!!!!!!!!! bc that last line haunts me as much as bin haunts hyunjin obv)
