Summary
In retrospect, it’s amazing how quickly both he and Soonyoung acclimatized themselves to the narrow, grey corridors of the Hong Kong Shatterdome. Life still goes on.

Summary
“Are we under attack right now?” Wonwoo fakes looking around and Soonyoung aims a lazy kick at him under the table, meeting only air.
“You know what I mean.” Soonyoung tilts further into the table, his nose squashing uncomfortably.
He remembers those early days when the shock of first attacks was replaced by the realisation that, yes, this was their new normal and that, no, there was no way to control what was to come. He remembers the waves of panic only quelled by steadfast determination to try and survive, to try and preserve some form of future for themselves. He remembers the first time the announcement that a Kaiju was coming was tinged with excitement, as well as fear.
Wonwoo sighs and closes the book fully. “I thought you were meant to use this time to rest. To heal.”
*****
What is grief, if not love persevering?

Summary
His name first, his victories second—the third thing you learn is this: you do not trust Na Jaemin. Na Jaemin who lives, grin blinding, perfect, invincible.
Na Jaemin is not a good man in his first life. He screws things up with Renjun so badly that it takes him another twelve—plus a thousand odd years—to make things right.

Summary
Jaemin got drafted fifteenth overall by the Toronto Maple Leafs, grinning so wildly that it almost cracked his face in two as the general manager shook his hand, slipping that ugly blue and white jersey over his perfect head. Cameras flashed, the dark blue contrasted terribly with his mess of pink hair, and that had been that. Jaemin was officially out of reach, out of Chenle’s life forever.
Eight thousand kilometers away, Chenle had watched on a tiny phone screen in the privacy of his room, burrowed into one of Jaemin’s old sweatshirts—stolen on one of their late night adventures—and cried.
-
Or, Chenle is perfectly fine (read: so unbelievably not fine at all) playing college hockey two years after kissing Jaemin on the night that Jaemin left him for the NHL. Of course Jaemin has to come back and throw a sexy ass wrench into all of his life plans (read: again, no plans at all, he’s kind of a mess).
