Summary
‘Sometimes, I feel—’ Jungkook swallows, gathering courage. ‘I feel like I’m being absorbed. When you look at me.’
It is quiet—in that room, in that building, in Busan, on earth, in the universe. Until it’s not.
‘I…’ comes Yoongi’s answer, ‘I can't help but always see you.’
Jungkook can feel Yoongi’s eyes roam over his face, confirming what his lips just said. ‘Do you?’ He shifts even closer, gearing up to close the last distance. ‘Do you, hyung?’
His hand that had remained still against Yoongi’s arm begins to move of its own accord, thumb grazing over gooseflesh and skin much, much softer than anticipated. ‘Do you really see me?’
- OR -
The world is gone, but in a bed store filled with choices, Yoongi and Jungkook remain—separated by too many beds, a radio that shouldn’t work, and a love that’s never been spoken.
A story of silent longing and the courage to leap the abyss, set in a post-apocalyptic Korea.

Summary
Some ghosts don’t haunt; they hold on—their touch light, but the weight unbearable.

Slow dance (come on, a little closer) by BornToSolace

Summary
Jimin feels dumb. Dumb and too young and all too ridiculous. His bow tie is too tight. He's embarrassed about his old dress shoes. And from up there, his cheeks probably look even more chubby than they already are.
This is not at all how he hoped it would be. Jimin feels his cheeks heat up as he remembers dreaming about this night, hoping he would end up with Yoongi on the dance floor. In his fantasies, they would stand close, looking into each other's eyes. They would talk, and Yoongi would smile down at him, maybe even drawing him in, a hand on the small of his back as they'd laugh together.
Instead, he and one of his best friends ended up in this awkward situation.
-or-
Just a fluffy little drabble about teenage yoonmin who find themselves slow dancing at a school dance, both too shy to even look each other in the eye. That is, until they receive a little help from their friends.

Summary
Jimin had learned to see the confessions and declarations, muttered against the nape of his neck in the safety of the night, for what they are: truths so brittle they can only survive in the dark.
Jimin knew better than to hold onto words, or gifts, or the fleeting feeling of rapture that a handsome touch could bring him.
So, it had not been immediately apparent to Jimin that this man might be different.
-or-
Life as a gisaeng has brought Jimin little solace. He has learned to not expect much from life. Then, a new client arrives, sparking a flicker of hope that disrupts his carefully constructed defenses.

Summary
All of this is different. Everything has been different so far, and different is good. Different will allow Yoongi to break his vows without himself breaking, or so he hopes.
The careful beckoning, the soft pull on his hand, the almost apprehensive look in the man’s eyes that won’t leave Yoongi’s face as he gets taken to the mat, the lips reverently trailing down his neck, his chest, his ribs. It’s different, and as Yoongi closes his eyes, tired of resisting, tired of feeling heavy, he knows he will allow it, that he wants it, whatever it is that is about to happen.
-or-
With war on the horizon, lonely farmer Yoongi embraces his fate, leaving his front door open for the inevitable. Surprisingly, it’s not war that finds him. It’s him who finds a wounded, taciturn soldier in his kitchen instead.
A tale of unexpected second chances, set in Joseon Korea.

Summary
De shampoo-god staat bijna gebogen van nederigheid en mompelt vele verontschuldigingen terwijl hij een gekmakende gummy smile tevoorschijn tovert, dus je stamelt: “I’m sorry for interrupting, please continue the party…”
En terwijl je je omdraait om met knalrode wangen de aftocht te blazen, zegt de op een engel gelijkende vreemdeling: "Maybe... you would like to join us...?"
---
Of: je nieuwe bovenbuurman maakt kabaal. En dat rond middernacht. Als je boos verhaal gaat halen, opent een sprookjesprins met zwarte Andrelon-wuivende lokken de deur...

Humbugging hyung: A Bangtan Christmas Carol by BornToSolace

Summary
Yoongi hates Christmas. Too much noise, too many people who want to hug, talk and simply EXIST in his vicinity.
So, Yoongi is relieved it will be just him, his bed and his 89 wikipedia-tabs, for the coming week. He sighs contently and is just about to doze off to this exhilarating thought when he hears muffled voices and the sound of multiple sneaker-clad feet shuffling on his “GO AWAY”-doormat (jinjja, how much more obvious does he need to be?) outside his studio.
Yoongi places his forehead un-softly on his desk.
Great.
Just what he needs: visitors.-----
or: Yoongi gets visited by the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future: teaching him about the meaning of Christmas and friendship. And maybe even about the meaning of love… the love of & for an annoyingly loud but also annoyingly cute creature with tiny hands and glitter up his butt-crack.

Summary
"I had always thought I would be a different person after I would’ve experienced this. Well, in fact, I had never counted on experiencing this anyway. But changed I have, although in another way than I could have possibly imagined."
Or: Erik look backs on what he has done. What he has taken. And faces the consequences.
