Summary
Chuuya was so thankful for Dazai. Even though they fight sometimes, even though they bicker and hurt each other sometimes, he couldn’t help but want to stay with him forever. Or at least as long as it is possible. He is more than willing to fight fate in order to stay with Dazai. To see him smile. He smiled softly as he realised that Dazai probably has a plan on how he would take on fate himself.
They would do it.
They could do it.
But that can wait for a while. They are with each other right now and nothing else mattered.
or.
They both have bad days, but they are grateful they have each other.

Summary
Ambrosius has been brutally injured and disfigured in the fight with Nimona. Without the Institution, a reliable body, or even his own self-image, he must adjust to his new reality. Riddled with guilt and after seeing Ambrosius brush so closely with death, being forced to confront the love that never died, Ballister cannot help but to take responsibility over his care. But, with all the anger and despair between them, rehabilitating his body seems as impossible as rehabilitating their relationship. They can only hope that the love that survived between them will be enough to pull them both out of the murky pit of hatred and into the light of trust.
Or:
Ballister and Ambrosius try to find a way to move forward

Summary
Jimin thinks he has his whole life together. He’s secured a well-paid position at the most famous fashion magazine in the country, something he’s worked towards since he was a child. He then gets invited by his boss to one of the most exclusive fashion conferences in the world, and a spot at Paris Fall Fashion Week. It seems like everything he’s ever worked towards is finally coming to fruition, until the trip doesn’t go as planned. Like, in the slightest.
Next thing he knows, he’s stranded on a deserted island with only one other person: his work-nemesis, Jeon Jungkook. Together, they not only must learn to survive the island until help arrives, but each other as well.

Summary
_______________________________________
Jisung stood there, drenched from the rain, shivering slightly. His dark hair was plastered to his forehead, and his lower lip was split, a bead of blood trailing down to his chin. His jacket was torn at the sleeve, exposing bruised skin beneath. His posture was tense, but his eyes...
Minho’s heart sank at the sight of them. They were the same eyes he had seen every time Jisung came to him like this—eyes that held too much pain, too much exhaustion, and far too much resolve for someone so young.
Minho exhaled slowly, his hand tightening on the edge of the door.
“Come inside,” he said, his voice softer than he intended.
___________________________________________Or the one where Jisung is the heir of a rivaling gang and Minho is part of the Strays. Their love doesn't have a future, but still, Jisung always comes back to Minho.
Although they can't be together, they can't be apart either and thus starts an endless cycle of pain, passion, care, hurt and love, that leaves Minho hollow in the morning and Jisung once again alone in his cruel reality.

Summary
“Wanting sex doesn’t make you a creep,” Quinn says slowly. “I think wanting sex is a pretty base level thing, honestly.”
For all of Benjamin’s unwillingness to get to this point, he answers back swiftly. “I know that. But I kind of made up everyone here? And I know that’s really…shallow and that they’re all real full-fledged people with their own internal lives and dreams and none of them know that about me and they can consent without it being coercion, but it stresses me out anyway. It makes me feel weird and I can’t stop myself from thinking I dreamt you anytime anything starts happening, and it’s a bit of a mood killer.”
“You didn’t dream me.”
or: Benjamin and Quinn start sleeping together. Neither of them expect what it does to them.

It is when the fifth test in a row displays the little “+” sign that Joseph accepts that maybe, just maybe, he is pregnant.
To say that Joseph's year does not go as he expected is the understatement of the century.

Bookmarker's Notes
It does me no good; violence has changed me. /My body has grown cold like the stripped fields; / now there is only my mind, cautious and wary, / with the sense it is being tested.
