    Summary

    The only thing that makes life bearable for Light is the Kpop idol Beyond Birthday. His world has shrunk to the little glowing window of his phone, where he spends his days watching Beyond’s videos, re-reading his words, and defending him online from the legions of people who don’t understand that he’s the most important person on Earth. Perhaps his closest remaining relationship is with his online nemesis, L, who loves Beyond too, but loves him all wrong. When L spontaneously shows up at his cupsleeve event, he finds his world begin to widen.

    or

    L and Light are the most toxic Kpop fans in the universe.

    “You have to promise to take care of yourself.” Light knows these words like a prayer, and he repeats them in the rhythm of Beyond’s voice, lilting, falling into itself. “The world is a difficult place, but you have to promise that no matter how hard it gets you’ll think of me and stay. You have to survive at all costs."

    Summary

    Fun fact: interview-based research typically has to go through ethical review, and while oral histories have generally been exempt, that is less and less the case.

    Another fun fact: Tim is no longer allowed to fill out paperwork.

    Summary

    They still smile, well trained in propriety, though Elias’ eyes slide to Peter instead. He’s rather glorious like this, Elias will admit, raw and cruel in such lovely packaging. Maybe as a thanks he’ll allow himself a few moments to dwell on their own farce, the dance around each other as though the final steps won’t be sliding a knife in the other’s back.
