    Summary

    Husk is a down on his luck drunk who’s running out of money and second chances when he lands a job at The Mirage, the last queer speakeasy still standing in 1937 New York City. It’s a decent job and nothing more—until Friday night, when he first catches sight of the club’s star dancer, Angel, and an instant attraction threatens to turn his whole world upside down.

    Angel is juggling two lives, a mob boss’s son by day and a cabaret dancer under the thumb of a cruel pimp by night. He loves the crowds, the glamor, the excitement, but he pays a heavy price for all of it, a price nobody but the new bartender seems to see.

    Both men have the odds stacked against them, but they can’t help but be drawn to each other. Still, after the cards they’ve been dealt, it’s hard to believe in happy endings. Can coked out whores and washed up drunks like them ever really make it out of the gutter?

    A Huskerdust-centric human AU set in 1930s New York.

    Summary

    Soobin couldn’t forget that Yeonjun was a god because Yeonjun made everything a dance. He was a dancer even when there was no music—half human, half Terpsichore, completely lovely.

    Summary

    "I thought about asking you out, back when you dyed your hair." Soobin lifts his head, startled. Yeonjun is smiling, small, almost shy. He raises a hand to push some of Soobin's fringe off his eyes.

    "The blond hair really did it for you, didn't it?" Soobin jokes, trying to sound nonchalant.

    He's not. He had blond hair in their second year. That was two years ago.

    Yeonjun giggles. "It was a very good look. And with the glasses? Delectably nerdy." Soobin rolls his eyes and nuzzles back onto Yeonjun's chest. He's taller than the other, so he needs to bend his knees to keep his feet inside the bed, but he doesn't really care about that.

    "Why didn't you?" Soobin asks after a while. "I would have said yes."

    OR, on the night of graduation, Soobin and Yeonjun come to terms with all the time they lost.

    Summary

    Soobin just wants someone nice to spend his heat with for a change. If that’s not in the cards for him, he wishes he could at least have someone who’s not an outright asshole. What he never expected was to come across Yeonjun and to have his life changed so drastically.

    Summary

    “Oh my god,” Yeonjun interrupted, exasperation mixing with something warm and unsteady, “are you actually jealous?”
    Soobin went very still. The tips of his ears burned red.
    “Of course not,” He stopped, exhaled, and then looked Yeonjun dead in the eye. “It’s just—” Soobin swallowed, glancing over his shoulder like he was checking that none of the engineers were paying attention. “I don’t like seeing you in his number.”
    Yeonjun tried and failed to smother a laugh. “You’re ridiculous.”
    Soobin stepped closer, close enough that the faint synthetic scent of his fireproofs and helmet cleaner reached Yeonjun’s nose.
    “What?” He asked, oblivious.
    “Take it off.”
    Yeonjun gaped at him. “Excuse me?”
    “Take it off,” he repeated.
    Yeonjun stared at him, heat rising up the back of his neck so fast he thought he might actually pass out.
    “Soobin,” His voice came out thin and incredulous. “I am not taking my shirt off in the middle of your garage.”

    Or, the fastest pilot in motorsport and the most gifted figure skater alive never meant to fall in love. But somewhere along the way, it stopped feeling like just friendship.
