    Summary

    Yuma squats beside him. Dust grits beneath his boots. The core reader on his belt gives a stuttering chirp—Jo’s signal, flickering, unstable. He should’ve pulled it days ago. Unit 454-KUR4. Priority dismantle. High-yield necrotech core, borderline custom-grade. Could’ve paid off two contracts, maybe three. Instead, he’s here. Watching a corpse draw love on shattered tech.

    Jo lifts the panel gently, holds it toward him. “I think they knew each other,” he says. “In life.”

    The sketch is precise, fluid: two figures, kneeling face to face. One places their hand on the other’s jaw, eyes closed. The creases at the corners of a smile. The slant of lashes. The outline of collarbones.

    “It’s time we move,” Yuma says.

    Jo nods. Doesn’t rise immediately. Only stares into the sketch, the way one stares into a well and wonders what might be looking back.

    [post-apocalypse, Yuma is a tech scavenger contracted to harvest the necrocore of worker unit 454-KUR4]

    Heartbreakingly beautiful. The prose is exquisite, and the story made me cry. I think this may be author's magnum opus. I can't imagine anything to top this. This is at the top of my recommendations for readers in any fandom, any pairing.

    Summary

    In a distant galaxy, humanity has tamed its gods. Once untouchable, the divine has been enslaved, their essence stripped and fused into HYVE, the singular deity that fuels the Eidetic Empire’s dominion.

    Harua has spent his life training to become an eidol—one of the rare few who can channel divine energy without imperial technology. Scouted as a child, raised as a warrior, his voice is one of many that sing the gods’ songs—songs that were once called magic.

    His purpose has always been clear: to serve, to uphold the Empire’s orders, to become part of its unshakable power.

    But when a sacred unveiling ceremony descends into chaos, and his closest friend, Taki, is thrown into the mix, Harua finds himself trapped in a conflict far greater than anything he could ever have imagined.

     

    A god breaks free. The truth unravels. And something begins to awaken inside him.

    Summary

    A pause. The teacher gestures to an empty seat. A boy leans forward, grinning. “Hey, new guy. Sit here.”

    Jo blinks. The boy’s voice is warm, casual, like light filtered through leaves. His hair is slightly messy, his tie loose around his neck. Nakakita Yuma, Jo recalls from the roll call. The most animated presence in the room. Jo hesitates for half a second before moving toward the seat beside him.

    The lesson proceeds in waves of sound—chalk against the board, the soft drag of pens. Jo watches, recording silently in his mind. His hands itch for his camcorder, but he waits. Humans do not document everything with precision.

    Nicholas made room in Harua’s physical space the same way he had done so in the metaphorical sense: without asking. Harua looked over and there he was. Harua looked inside his heart and—well—there he was.

    Nicholas and Harua have a late night discussion. Euijoo and Maki’s specters loom large.

    Summary

    A snap, like the crack of a branch underfoot, rang out, followed by a low hum. The ground beneath him erupted in a pulse of green light, a shimmering circle of glyphs flaring to life around his paws. Yuma yelped, a guttural sound of pain and surprise, as an invisible force surged up his legs, pinning him in place. He thrashed, claws scraping at the soil, but the trap held firm, its glow intensifying with every desperate movement.

    “Well, well,” the man said, his voice smooth and almost amused. In his hand, he held what looked like an orb of ivory and scarlet. “What do have we here?”

    Yuma’s growl rumbled low in his throat, but it was all he could muster. The green glow of the trap burned against his fur, sapping his strength with every passing second. The man crouched just outside the circle, tilting his head as though inspecting a curious specimen.

    “A dire wolf?” he mused, his lips curling into a smile.

    With a flick of his wrist, the man raised his orb. The trap’s glow flared again, and Yuma’s vision swam. The last thing he saw before the darkness claimed him was the stranger’s sharp, calculating eyes, glinting like a predator who had just caught his prey.

    Summary

    Harua’s words from earlier came back to him: "Ask EJ for a song; he’s cool. You’ll know what to pick when you hear his set." Nico felt his stomach tighten. Cool wasn’t exactly how he’d describe himself right now. He hadn’t felt cool in months, trudging through the monotony of office work while avoiding his reflection in dance studio mirrors. Still, he’d come here, hadn’t he? For a moment of escape. For some sort of reprieve.

    Before he could overthink it, Nico stood and made his way to the DJ booth. The music shifted again as he approached, a seamless slide into a downbeat electronic remix of something from the top 100. It wasn’t Christmas music exactly, but the bells woven into the track made it feel festive. He stopped a few feet away, uncertain of the etiquette. Was he supposed to wait for the DJ to notice him?

    EJ glanced up, his gaze steady but not unkind. Up close, Nico noticed the slight curve of a smile tucked into one corner of his mouth. EJ raised an eyebrow in silent question.

    Nico cleared his throat. “Hi, um. Could you—do you take requests?”

    EJ leaned closer, just enough to catch Nico’s words over the music. “Depends,” he said, his voice gentle and even. “What do you have in mind?”

    Summary

    The apartment—if it could be called that—was a cramped, second-story walk-up above a convenience store. Half of that space was dedicated to their fledgling animation studio: a rickety desk with mismatched chairs, two monitors perched precariously on stacks of books, and a makeshift lightbox cobbled together from plexiglass and a desk lamp. The other half served as their living quarters, though the lines between the two blurred daily.

    “You’re too pragmatic,” Harua continued, flipping onto his stomach and propping his chin on his hands. “Where’s the pizzazz? The heart? The—”

    “The deadline,” Jo interrupted, finally glancing up. His round eyes held the faintest glimmer of exasperation, though his voice remained calm. “If we spend three weeks on hand-drawn sequences, we’ll miss it.”

    Harua groaned and rolled onto his back, staring at the water-stained ceiling as though it might offer inspiration. “Deadlines are the death of creativity.”

    “And rent is the death of hapless animators,” Jo countered.

    [Fresh out of college, Harua and Jo launch an animation studio—but their biggest challenge might just be a flirtatious barista and a mysterious bookstore owner who inspire more than just their work]

    “Uh, second of all,” Jo continues, “how would we pretend… to be… boyfriends? I told you, I’m bad at lying.”

    “Well, I’m good at lying, so I’d do most of it,” Yuma says. “Maybe I’d tell people that one day, I saw your contact and hit you up out of the blue, because I always thought that you were attractive back in university. And then we went on a couple of dates, and I ended up really falling for you, and you returned my feelings. All you would have to do is look at me like you like me.”

    Jo frowns.

    “Yeah, that might be too hard for you,” Yuma concedes.

    Summary

    If Jo had been lying down and facing the wall, then it would’ve been fine. It wouldn’t have mattered that he missed the extra pair of shoes in the foyer, he would’ve been fine leaving the door ajar. Yuma would’ve stumbled in and seen his still form, and assumed he was asleep.

    But Jo forgot to lie down and face the wall. So Yuma stumbles in and finds him flinching through an orgasm, catching his release in a Kleenex, sighing out, “Kei-hyung–”

    In October of 2018, six hundred and sixty-five million light years away from Earth, a small star was cannibalized in the dark void of space. It was just one-tenths the mass of our solar system’s sun. A postdoctoral fellow at the Space Telescope Science Institute observed the phenomenon for three months, and deemed the entire affair to be wholly unremarkable. There was no funeral.
