Summary
[[ “What were you looking at, out there?” Seonghwa asked.
It wasn’t the first time he had noticed Mingi watching out their window so intently. But it was his first time asking about it.
“Birds.”
“What color were they?”
Mingi stared at him, cool light catching the dark gold hue his eyes sometimes had.
Seonghwa stared back. /You can tell me./
Mingi looked away. ]]
------------------
Just because you've made peace with something, doesn't mean war can't break out anytime.What was buried can come to the surface.
And even though Song Mingi had learned to control that angry, wild spirit inside himself, it didn't mean he could ignore it forever.

Summary
Once, there had been laughter. Warmth. Togetherness. Friends. The time at the orphanage had been taxing, and tears rolled in many nights when yet another family left without bringing Seonghwa along. But he made the best of it. Laughed with the other kids and the helpers around the house. He knew he owed them every happy moment of his youth.
Until he had to leave.
It's cold now. Everything is cold now. Seonghwa is a nobody. A lone soul forgotten on dingy streets, with only the frigid concrete to curl up against. He is lost.
But then a helping hand stretches out from the darkness to give him new life.

Summary
“They said I lied,” Hongjoong said, remembering the looks on the guards faces, the way one of them had punched him in the gut and threatened to make him regret lying.
“Did you?” omega asked. There was no curiosity in the voice, like he was asking the question just to entertain Hongjoong or be polite, not because he actually cared for the answer.
He grinned. “Well, yeah. Had I told them that I’m a pirate and I actually had robbed the facility moments ago, I’d be heading straight to the gallows.” Getting hanged really wasn’t in his plans that day. “Are you going to tell me what landed you here?”
“They say,” the voice replied, mimicking his tone, “I stabbed someone.”
“Did you?”
“If I did,” the omega said, “he was a nasty alpha and deserved it.”OR: Hongjoong meets Seonghwa in a prison cell. They're supposed to part the moment they've escaped, but life, as it happens, has other plans. Having a deadly omega on his ship might be the worst and best thing that ever happened to him.

Summary
Captain Kim Hongjoong had spent his childhood in the abusive grasp of his tyrant father, until he planned his own escape and pulled together a mismatched crew with a bond thicker than blood. When he brings a prisoner on board, the last thing he expects is for the newcomer to infiltrate that bond, and he watches as the control begins to slip through his fingers.
Kim Hongjoong knows how it feels to hate, and he uses it to avoid feeling anything else.
Park Seonghwa hadn’t been in control of his own life in a long time, so when he is taken prisoner by a new crew of pirates, he is resigned to the cruelty of their captain. Hatred is comfortable, and two can play at that game. However, the rest of the crew is kinder to him, and he feels his walls begin to lower despite the mounting tensions between himself and the captain.
Park Seonghwa knows how it feels to love, and he never wants to feel that weak again.

Summary
Five-hundred years ago the Kingdom of Halazia expelled all magic users from its lands under threats of death to maintain their Gods given blessings. The expulsion has worked as they remain the most powerful and prosperous of the Five Kingdoms. They have great craftsmen, bountiful harvests, and a powerful king with a strong pack supporting him.
But his pack never felt whole.
The king has always felt like an eighth person has been missing from his pack. He loves his six other packmates, but there are signs they are destined to be a pack of eight.
Two of his packmates go into market for a birthday gift and come across a flower seller who is gifted with disappearing in plain sight. They bring him back to the palace and find their missing piece. The pack starts to feel whole, the flower seller fitting into their configuration perfectly, but they still have to win over the kingdom. And that will be hard to do when the flower seller was born with magic.This work is fully complete!!! I am editing and proofing (and adding bonus chapters) in real time, so I'm going to be uploading every other week!

Summary
Park Seonghwa thought he was handling his terrible night quite well. He had experienced the worst pain of his life, blacked out, and woke up alone in the hospital. At least, he was handling it well until his doctor looked him in the eyes and asked a question that turned his life on its axis.
“How much do you know about werewolves?”
Seonghwa was a completely ordinary university student. He had a dead-end job, a cheap apartment, and enough student debt to fill the ocean. A completely ordinary, completely human student. Of course, he knew that not everyone could say the same. He, along with the rest of the world, was well aware of werewolves, a long-misunderstood subsect of the population.
Seonghwa had never been particularly worried about werewolves. He knew the basics, and that was enough for him. After all, it didn't affect his life at all. At least, not until a trip to the emergency room had him questioning everything he thought he knew about himself, his family, and the world.

BALLAD FOR A LAMB AND A CROW by HALAhehet8

Summary
A psychological thriller of madness, manipulation, and the slow unraveling of truth.
When a well-known, beloved family is found slaughtered in their home, the only suspect is a 27-year-old man discovered at the scene, blood-soaked, shaking, and whispering things no one could understand. Park Seonghwa is quickly declared unstable and confined to a secure psychiatric facility for observation. He claims he didn’t kill anyone. But his stories, fractured, poetic, delusional, make little sense to anyone who hears them.
Except one man.
Enter Kim Hongjoong, a calm, intelligent forensic psychiatrist consultant assigned to the case. At first, he appears gentle. Professional. Curious. He tells Seonghwa he believes him, when no one else does. He listens patiently as Seonghwa speaks of shadows that don’t move right, voices that steal his name, and the thing inside the walls that wore someone else’s face.
As trust deepens and Seonghwa begins to open up, the lines between truth and madness begin to blur. Because in a place built to cage the broken, sometimes the most dangerous person isn’t the one on the other side of the glass. It’s the one holding the key.

Summary
Seonghwa opened his eyes, he hadn’t even realized he had closed them. The first thing he noticed was the thick leather boots in front of him. The next thing he realized was that the owner of these boots was talking quietly. Not to him but to the pirate beside him.
“He’s alive, right?”
“Yeah… But he looks like shit compared to before. His leg is definitely worse for wear. I thought you said it was just a scrape?”
“That's what he told me, I didn’t exactly hold him down and strip him to find out, Yunho”
Yunho sighed, and lightly Seonghwa felt the pirate's hand tap his shoulder. “Really?” The Captain questioned with an annoyed tone. “I don’t want to get stabbed Hongjoong…” Yunho mumbled.
;; Seonghwa is a merchant navigator aboard a ship that has been decimated by a notorious Captain and his feared crew, left alive and taken aboard by Hongjoong for reasons he doesn't quite understand.
Hongjoong is the new Captain of the Halazia, and searching for a navigator who can lead him and his crew to a legendary place regarded once as a sailors tale until he finds a piece of a map.
They need each other, whether they want to or not.

The Third Charm of the Great Beauty and his Salted Fish by foreverstarhwa
Fandoms: ATEEZ (Band)
11 Jun 2026
Tags
Summary
"And what if all I want is to do bad things?"
"Then do the bad things, because I think you look the most beautiful when you play with poison."
-ˋˏ ༻❁✿❀༺ ˎˊ-
All Seonghwa wants is to take the imperial examinations and enter the palace as an imperial historian. It's all he's worked for in his twenty-one years of existence, and it's the only goal he has since he was a child.
And it was all going well… Until an imperial decree forces him to marry the critically ill son of the kingdom's prime minister.
Forced into an arranged, tragic marriage, Seonghwa loses his only chance at attaining his goal — because married wives cannot hold imperial positions — fueling his hate towards the family he marries into and by extension, his critically ill husband.
But instead of a bitter, bedridden man, Seonghwa realises that underneath the blanket of illness that follows his husband lies a charming — and lazy — young man who seemingly knows more than he lets on. Together, they plot — the beauty and the salted fish — rewriting the fates of their lives in a court full of thorns.
Inspired by Married Thrice to a Salted Fish.

Summary
As the eldest, Seonghwa couldn't protest his parents' demands any longer without giving them a strong reason as to why he should be allowed to hold onto his bachelor status for good, seeing as he was already in his late twenties and had shown no interest in pursuing women.
If only he could confess that he had known from a young age that the clacking of a pair of dress shoes managed to turn his head faster than the delicate sound of T-strap heels....
or an Arranged Marriage AU with a fortunate twist, queer history and finding freedom within the closet during the 1930s.

Summary
Seonghwa's soulmate doesn't want him--they'd made that much very clear with the soul words that had been written into Seonghwa's skin his entire life. Resigning himself to a life alone, Seonghwa can only brace himself for their first meeting.
When the prince that he serves accepts a suspicious arranged marriage, Seonghwa is chosen to become a decoy prince--just until the kingdom is sure that no one will be able to interfere with the engagement.
Interference, of course, happens, and a mysterious ship kidnaps the fake prince, leading Seonghwa to come face-to-face with the one person he was always destined to meet: the soulmate who hates him.Bookmarked by StarKim78
