He guides Haknyeon to the couch, sitting down before pulling him into his lap. Haknyeon hides his face in Changmin's neck, the older shushing the crying boy. "I was forced to end my friendship with Jihyun. My discussion with her went so horribly wrong." Haknyeon whispers, Changmin tightening his grip on Haknyeon.
Changmin is going to kill someone.

Xdinary Heroes, Jooyeon/Hyeongjun
Explicit | 24.6k
🎧 Wishing Well by Blink-182
Jooyeon has only had a few kisses in his life, some hurried makeout sessions on couches as a teenager, always anticipating the turn of the doorknob and interruption, and this is… something entirely different. Hyeongjun is familiar, the shape of his narrow shoulders and his thick bangs, even if the way his nose brushes against Jooyeon’s own and the feel of his lips on Jooyeon’s are new.
...
One summer, Jooyeon decides to kiss Hyeongjun, and everything changes. Jooyeon wasn’t just oblivious to the fall of something great, but how he himself contributed to it.

🏷 Minor violence, zombie apocalypse
"Hyeju has been looking for one for months now. She found a cassette tape on a mission and they’ve never had the chance to listen to it, or any other kind of music, at that. They haven’t had the chance to until now."
OR
Chaewon risks her life to give Hyeju a gift.
A Place in the Dark
SEVENTEEN, Wonwoo/Minghao
Explicit | 5.5k
The Sharpest Lives by My Chemical Romance
🏷 Non-graphic cannibalism, alcohol and drug use
It’s the cabin that Wonwoo can’t seem to escape. Spoiled food in the cellar. A single gun with more bullets than they could ever hope to use. Their duffel bags of supplies they packed for a weekend away from home, a few blankets and pillows and shin guards.
It’s the way that place swallowed them up. Even now, Wonwoo feels like the only one still inside it.
“It burned down, didn’t it?” he imagines his therapist asking in her sickly sweet sing-song. If he could tell her the truth, would it really help? Would she give him some experimental hypnosis or pill or grab his hand and physically pull him out of the skeletal remains of that place?
--Or--
On the eighth anniversary of the crash, Minghao shows up at Wonwoo's door.

“Is your dad still making you play stop short?”
Changbin huffs out a laugh. “Shortstop.” His laugh twists at the end into a sigh. “Yeah, I’m still fielding.” Something ugly and bitter simmers in his chest. “It’s not so bad though.”
Jisung doesn't press, just curls closer. For now, it’s enough.

It’s new, he says, but Doyoung has heard this song a million times. He had known it when it was just three lines and a list of chords hastily scribbled on a diner napkin, before the countless hours of practice and revisions. He had known the voice cracks, the broken strings, the fractured verses that seemed to go nowhere and the frustrated artist who penned them. It was a beautiful song, and that’s because everything Jaehyun did was beautiful.
("Besides, I might be roommates with a superstar in the making. Isn't that cool that I knew him before he became cool?"
"Hyung," Jaehyun almost whines. "You flatter me.")
and you can take all the pain away from me.

🎧Who Wrote Holden Caulfield? by Green Day
Once again, Minho finds himself simmering with frustration when he can’t force himself to speak. He hates that Jisung is here tearing down his every wall. The concrete barriers he’s built up and fortified over several years are crumbling in front of his eyes and there’s nothing he can do about it.
The worst part is that he sees them being built right back up. This time, with clear windows and entryways, little paths that Jisung himself is building to ensure that Minho can never hide himself away again. Can never hide himself behind an impenetrable fortress and stay isolated from the world that seems so hell-bent on hurting him.
OR: Minho is struggling to find himself. Maybe a book project and the new transfer student can help him rediscover what it means to be loved.
