    Summary

    “'Have you seen the new hand-embroidered Louis Vuitton silk three-piece we have in?' the assistant asks him, holding up an embroidered waistcoat for Seokjin’s attention. 'Just arrived last weekend.'

    'Louis Vuitton has only done machine-embroidery since 2013,' Seokjin says, 'and silk can’t be safely embroidered on a large scale. I modeled this piece for Louis in May. Check GQ, that was me.'

    He turns back to the mirror. 'Boys, you’re looking at the future husband of Conrad Turlington IV,' he tells them as they crowd around him. He gives himself The Smile, and it’s so pretty even he gets a little dizzy."

    Turns out Stanford Law School–and Seokjin–might be a bit different than he expects.

    Summary

    The world has always felt like it was ending to Kim Namjoon. The scale of a problem has never mattered, every molehill morphing into a mountain, every mountain demanding to be scaled instead of ignored, or moved again, or reduced in size.

    If someone had told Kim Namjoon in 2009 that he wouldn’t just lie down and go to sleep at the start of the apocalypse, that he wouldn’t wash his hands with the idea of trying to be of use after he failed out of the Jaeger Academy, he would have laughed. Not to their face - he’d always been a polite kid - but in the hollow, hungry heart of himself? It was hard to imagine what he’d do with success next week. Failure in the future was a rock-slide, a free-fall, a clear point beyond which nothing existed.

    But that’s the thing about mountains. If you climb enough of them, you get to be pretty good at it.

    (Or: Giant monsters attack the earth. Earth fights back in giant robots. Namjoon and Yoongi accidentally fall in love.)

    Summary

    “The new guy. The Deputy Director of Communications? His name is Finn, and he’s a dear friend. Which means that you aren’t allowed to fuck with him.”
    Poe sputtered. “What’s that supposed to mean?”
    Rey ignored him. “We have a staff meeting, where you will meet Finn and not make an ass of yourself.”

    (or, alternatively: the one where they work at the White House)

    Summary

    The fall is longer than Natasha expects.

    It’s tears cold on her face, teeth bitten all the way through her lip and the taste of copper in her mouth; she’s falling and falling and then, bracing for impact—she wakes up.
