    Summary

    Shigeo really, truly did not like a single thing about violence.

    He did not like how loud people got or how their faces twisted up in ugly rage or fear. He did not like the sound of bones breaking or the color of blood spilling across the street. A fight was like looking through a gruesome kaleidoscope - dizzying and overwhelming.

    Shigeo, however, learned that violence was necessary to have peace.

    Summary

    Teru was going to ask Shigeo to marry him. He'd decided that a long time ago. He wasn't scared that Shigeo was going to say no. Not at all. No, his growing anxiety stemmed from a completely different source. That is to say, the universe.

    The universe was clearly conspiring against him, and Teru refused to quit.

    Who would win in the end, Teru didn't know.

    Ryu Gunwoo was a beta. Park Moondae is also a beta.

    Up until he isn't.

    At some point, the thought of "How did I get here?" becomes, "this is home."

    Bookmarker's Notes

    An ugly laugh almost escapes Moondae’s throat, but he forces it down—deep down, along with the rest of his equally ugly greed.


    Lee Sejin, whose weight rests softly over Moondae’s head, does not belong to him. Neither does Seon Ahyeon, whose grip has loosened gently throughout the throes of sleep. Nor do any of the other members of their pack.

    And he, in turn, tells himself that he does not belong to them (even when the omega inside him winces at that thought, the pain dully throbbing in his chest).

     

    • Park Moondae and his inability to accept the love people give him. Breaking my heart again (also this fic is so so good already )


    Park Moondae, with all the intricacies of his character and enigmatic objectives that few others have the privilege of learning, sometimes seems to look so far into the future that he never looks at himself, and that notion frightens Ahyeon to no end.

     

    • This part is great !! I love how Ahyeon is written here, and how much he cares about Moondae and is scared for him and even though he’s anxious tries his best to slow him down

    He wants his body back. He wants his miserable, unsuccessful life back.

    There is a strange and animal revulsion in him at this blood. It’s not his, and it feels like it smells wrong. Not his flesh and not his blood. He wants his body back.


    “So I’ve stolen you too,” he murmurs, feeling half-mad. Stole Park Moondae’s corpse, stole his life story, stole the soulmate who should have been freed from him.

     

    • this was so good !!!! the body horror !! the guilt of ‘possessing’ a body that it’s not his own, Moondae thinking he’s tricking Testar and Lee Sejin because he’s not /him/ and then the whole deal with soulmates. So so good !!

    Summary

    It is unknown what causes a dragon to hoard a particular item. A dragon’s hoard is usually of something considered valuable or of high status, but a great variety was observed in ancient times. The most commonly-recorded hoards were gold, jewels, and beautiful humans, whom dragons would supposedly demand as sacrifices and then keep as companions.

    Once a hoarding tendency is established, it is set for life.

     

    Or: Park Moondae is a dragon.

    Of course, what was a hoard other than what a dragon loved too much to live without?

    “Sometimes I wondered if I’d know it if I saw it. Whatever it is I’d hoard if I was enough of a dragon.”

    Moondae shrugged. It didn’t seem like that deep of a question to him. “Of course you’d know. You know when you love something.”

    Chungwoo laughed softly. “I’m not so sure everyone does.”

     

    • OMG Moondae hoard’s being his members bc he loves them so much. But also him just jumping bridges full of oblivion not realizing why he wants them so close and not knowing bc he’s such a emotional constipated idiot

    Bookmarker's Notes

    “It’s a good thing Moondae couldn’t regress by dying, so he didn’t end up like you,” Lee Sejin said. As clearly as he could telling Cheongryeo, Park Moondae’s not like you.

    I don’t care if regression turned you into a monster. My friend isn’t like you. Making me scared of you wouldn't make me scared of him.

     

    • lee sejin you are the best friend ever, he really believes and loves park moondae unconditionally

     


    “You’ll like VTIC,” Jaehyun whispered, watching Gunwoo’s sleeping face, subtle movement behind his lids. “I guess you’ll miss those kids of yours, but let’s be honest. You don’t know how to not love your team.”

    He was sure of it. Gunwoo had been tossed in with a handful of gems and some obvious duds thanks to that survival show, members he had no reason to value, but he’d become loyal to them so quickly. By the time Jaehyun kidnapped him, he’d already been unwilling to give them up.

    Attachment that strong and fast spoke to something innate inside Gunwoo. There was a characteristic of his personality that reached out and grabbed onto those near him, made them his and refused to let go. A very childish sort of greed or sentimentality. That sort of greed was what drove a child, when offered something better and more valuable than the worn old stuffed toy they’d always had, to reject what was objectively better in favor of what was already loved. That greed was driving Ryu Gunwoo now, as he insisted this world was a daydream and looked for a way home. He wanted what he already loved.

    “Yeah, hyung, I learned it from you!”

    “You did not. When did I ever curse in front of you?”

    KeunDal immediately starts rattling off quotes. It’s like he had them all ready to go in his head, a neatly shelved and catalogued library of Park Moondae profanity. “What the fuck is this? I have to debut or I’ll fucking die? This shitty fucking system. This fucking bullshit system. This fuckass bastard system. Why is this bastard talking to me? I hope that bitchass judge fucks off and falls off a cliff. If this shitty system–”

    Ahyeon, hands raised as if to protect himself from a physical barrage, hastily breaks in. “What judge?”

    “The one on Idol Inc who was mean to you,” Keundal says. “Mostly when the system window was open, hyung was cursing out either the system or TNet. But sometimes Lee Sejin. There’s more. I especially remember ‘If I ever fucking hear fucking Pop-Con again–’”

    “That’s enough,” Moondae says, resigned, eyes closed as he rubs a thumb between his brows. “That’s enough. Chungwoo, give me a different job, I can’t draw the fucking logo.”

    Lee Sejin cackles loudly, but Chungwoo knows Moondae said it for the way it would make KeunDal giggle.

     

    • HILARIOUS !!! One of my favorite parts of the debut or die novel is how many times Park Moondae just curses at the system lmao

    • Lee Sejin being able to hear Moondae thoughts is the best and funniest AU concept ever and i’m so mad i don’t have the ability to write it


    Wanting something you can’t have is stupid. Wanting something you can have if you work for it, that’s ambitious.

     

    • Such a good view to have for Lee Sejin about the world !!


    And Lee Sejin… he fell headfirst for the oldest trick in the book. He wanted something he couldn’t have.

    He wanted Park Moondae.

     

    • Absolutely in love with this au

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Lee Sejin didn't need Moondae to be gentle with him, because they were beyond that. It was okay if they were harsh with each other.

    Lee Sejin didn't need to be handled in the way Moondae would tactfully nudge Ahyeon or Bae Sejin through a conversation or course of action. He didn't need to be distracted in the way Moondae would divert the younger members' energy into more productive channels. And he didn't need to be lulled into a false sense of security, the way Moondae put on a mask for the rest of the world, whether it was the quirky Moon Puppy for the fans or quiet team player Park Moondae behind the scenes. To him, Park Moondae always came bluntly, without disclaimers or equivocation.

    Sejin didn't have to be tricked and cajoled and convinced that Moondae was good, because they were the same type of person down at the bone. Alone with each other, they didn't have to pretend not to be calculating and ambitious. It was okay to show the worst parts of themselves.

     

    • their friendship is SO important to me !!! they’re equals and it really feels like Moondae is so much more honest with Lee Sejin and this author gets them perfectly

    Park Moondae finds it aggravating how he could always find traces of the other even when he isn’t physically there, because Lee Sejin is like the sun and the moon and the stars altogether, encircling his world and giving it light, and if he were a poet he might’ve called Lee Sejin his universe, but he isn’t a poet. He’s a regular human being, the heart in his chest beating through his ears as a reminder.

    "No, you're not."

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Park Moondae doesn’t want to say yes—he shouldn’t say yes. It’s the fact that his heart has been punctured so, so many times that he’s lost track of how many wounds it has. It’s the fact that he’s unable to come to terms with his own feelings because he doesn’t know what any of it means, and it feels like hot lava is being poured on him relentlessly, melting him to his very core until there is nothing left. It doesn’t take a genius to see that he’s being swallowed by giant, hungry flames when Lee Sejin speaks of love like it couldn’t be anything else but the truth.

    And it doesn’t feel good, this heat that wraps around him like a cage. He’s afraid of giving himself up, giving away all that he has in his body until there’s nothing left. Because there’s only so much he can give and only so much he can take in. There will always exist an agonizing pressure of having been thrown into a volcano and eaten by flames, of being on the cusp of insanity, of holding on so hard to the edges of the universe in fear of being erased.

    Summary

    Park Moondae ponders how strange his life had gotten. He doesn't appreciate the universe's wicked sense of humor, throwing around supernatural curveballs that had somehow, along the way, landed him into interacting again with his half-brother, who only knew of him as a cousin way back then. Meanwhile, an overwhelmed Ryu Chungwoo was wondering why, whenever he’s interacting with their main vocalist, Chungwoo couldn’t stop himself from thinking about another guy from his childhood. And lastly...

    All of them were alarmed when the man suddenly grabbed Moondae’s arm. “Your mother… tell me your mother’s name…” It took quite some time before Moondae was able to hesitantly answer.

    Hey there! Here's a canon compliant fic but also an AU, where Ryu Gunwoo is Ryu Chungwoo's half brother. Additional chaos poured in like a gasoline over a dumpster fire, when they found out that the original Park Moondae is also the half-brother of another TeSTar member.

    “You didn’t bother me.” Obviously a lie, but more importantly, true. Or one could say, Park Moondae was constantly a bother, but he was never a burden. Not to Sejin.

     

    Moondae choked and spluttered on what appeared to be sheer indignation. “Yes, you are! You’re, you’re doing your poor little Lee Sejin routine, your–”

    “Excuse me?”

    “Your little woe is me bit, your little oh no, my soulmate doesn’t love me performance–”

    “Alright, hold on.” Sejin could feel his face burning red.

    “Just say ‘you’re welcome!’ Is it that hard to–”

    Sejin broke in, “I’m not upset that you don’t love me. First of all, that’s a stupid thing to be, when you do love me.”

    Moondae gaped at him, and Sejin shot him his most annoying grin, the “just for Park Moondae” special, created in Sejin Labs for the singular purpose of raising Park Moondae’s blood pressure. “Yes? Then let’s talk about what’s actually going on, which is that you have your own little routine called ‘pretending to be incapable of love’ that you’re currently running as a one-man show, and, by the way, the reviews are terrible. No one likes it.”

    Lee Sejin can’t be held accountable for the things that come out of his mouth around Park Moondae. That would be ridiculous. Like blaming a mosquito for biting or a glass of water for evaporating. Sejin saying stupid shit is just a natural process no one in particular is responsible for and which everyone who inhabits this earth must live with.

    Unfortunately, this time the stupid shit was an invitation for Park Moondae to enter revenge mode.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    “I think Moondae needs to go revenge mode on someone who’s hurt a friend under his protection every once in a while. It’s like, um, enrichment for a zoo animal. Part of a healthy lifestyle to keep him from going stir crazy.”

    It’s hard to tell from their stares if the five other members think this is a point of genius or stupidity, and there’s no more time to discuss.

    Moondae comes out of his room freshly-showered, dressed deceptively casual but nice, hair slicked back, an honest-to-God spark in his eyes and a bounce in his step, just a hint of a smirk in the lines of his mouth, unfortunately maybe the most attractive Lee Sejin has ever seen him, because it turns out that scary Park Moondae ready to go to war for him is, um. It’s. Well, it’s. Well the thing is it’s kind of really hot.

    Summary

    Lee Sejin has a stupid, self-indulgent daydream that he comes back to again and again, tucked away in a file in his brain misleadingly named “utilities” and nestled several folders deep to escape prying eyes, and if that makes it sound like this daydream is a lot more explicit than it is then that’s fine, no one’s ever going to know either way.

    The document of this particular daydream would be titled “Park Moondae went to my high school and we were best friends and nothing bad happened to him ever."

    Here’s the silly, squeamish, twist-in-your-gut, idiot-how-can-you-believe-this, stupidest and selfishest part of the daydream: Lee Sejin really thinks he could have saved Park Moondae.

    All he had to do was be there.

     

    • OMFG ?!?!?! This punched me in the heart. Omg. It just shows how much Lee Sejin cares about Park Moondae. Like he’s ready to genuinely do anything for Moondae, and he regrets not even meeting Moondae sooner because he wanted to save him. It’s so so sweet and so so painful at the same time !! Also also man Lee Sejin is so in love with Moondae here. Him thinking they would be a two-for-one package deal, him being selfless enough to include Ahyeon but clarifying that Moondae wouldn’t /need/ Ahyeon because he already had Sejin lol
