    Summary

    Kwon Jiyong debuted at eighteen, spent his twenties as a superstar, and was burnt out by age thirty. At thirty-six, he receives a lifetime achievement award, which is fitting as he plans to end his life. On the roof of a Hong Kong luxury hotel, however, he runs into another idol planning to jump. Jiyong puts pause on ending it all – he has this man to keep alive, for god’s sake.

    Summary

    While enlisting, Seokjin falls in love with a fellow recruit but never confesses his feelings. Post-enlistment he tries to move on, and as he sets out to build confidence in romance, it only makes sense to sleep with Namjoon. Wait, what?

    “Should we pretend to be other people?”

    Namjoon turned his head to him, his voice a low, quiet rumble. “Who would you want us to be?”

    Summary

    It had been a year since the first body got back up. The first whisper of movement in what was supposed to stay still. A year since the silence after the sirens, since the world folded inward on itself and began to feed on the softest parts. The living had called it infection, or curse, or punishment—whatever word best explained what they couldn’t understand. Harua no longer used any of them. To him, it was just the natural order, rewritten.

    or

    Nine survivors, a dead country, and a boy who can't stop running from himself.

    Note: This fic has been discontinued. Thank you for reading.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Heart-wrenching, a very creative take on zombies that has made me gasp and yell a bit. Harua has been through so much (they all have) but watching him learn to trust and care again is so worth the hard stuff. Taki truly is the sun.

    Summary

    Jo looks like he’s standing in the middle of a crime scene and realizing too late that the blood on his hands is his own. His fingers twitch once, twice, then curl into fists. “I want to do worse than that, Yuma.”

    Yuma feels it like a jolt—not fear, not exactly. More like adrenaline mixed with something warmer. “Like what?” he asks.

    Jo swallows hard. “I’m perverted,” he says. Deadpan. Flat. Like a confession and a punishment rolled into one. “I think about things I shouldn’t. About you in ways that are—wrong.”
