Summary
It was a story they’d told each other often, over too much kvas. A running joke between them, what they would do if they ever decided to leave it all behind.
She’d never dreamed they actually would.
Inej, and Kaz, and what comes after.

Summary
"What are we going to do about her?"
"I don't know." Kaz finally replied.
Inej blinked once. Then again. In all her years of knowing Kaz Brekker he had never uttered these three words and had meant them. He always had a plan. And the full realization settled on Inej that Kaz really did make this choice on impulse. He was still too quick to deny any goodness in his heart but Inej knew otherwise. It was also why she knew his choice before even he did.
"The orphanages won't take care of her. She'll be dead in less than a month and I…" Kaz looked down then. Inej sat down next to him and he took her hand, "I promised her brother she wouldn't get hurt."
Inej knew Kaz was many vile things. But one thing she knew best about him was that he did keep his word. He didn’t make promises he couldn’t keep.
Better terrible truths than kind lies. She knew that better than anyone.
"Then I suppose the best way to do that is to protect her ourselves."

Summary
“You’re Jordan’s wife?”
If anyone in their town would’ve gone out looking for a foreign beauty, it would’ve been Jordie. He had an adventurer’s spirit, bold and daring. If Maja squinted at the old rope swing by the lake, she could still see the silhouette of him, leaping into the water while Kasper worried from his perch on the banks.
But Inej’s face freezes in an odd expression. “Not quite,” she says haltingly. “I’m married to his younger brother – Kaz?”
---
Or, the town of Lij is endlessly fascinated with the mysterious Mr. and Mrs. Rietveld each and every time they visit.

“I forgot I had this invitation to a restaurant opening.” Seokjin squints hard enough to read the fine prints. “Shit it’s tonight.”
“For how many people?”
“Just two. I think it’s more of a romantic date kind of restaurant than a family friendly one.”
Namjoon hums. “I’m free tonight. We should still go.”
“So as a... it’s a date?”

Summary
It became a permanent thing the next year in August. But neither of them knew it was going to become a permanent thing. To them it just looked like a temporary thing. A slightly permanent, temporary thing.
Or; Namjoon and Yoongi are both struggling artists, throw a baby into the mix and they're struggling parents as well. Throw love into the mix and they're just struggling.

Summary
As Namjoon stood slightly removed from the scene, bemusedly watching the six-year-olds swarm around his cooler (which he had borrowed from his mom), he didn’t even notice that someone had sidled up next to him until he heard the tiny, but undoubtedly exasperated, huff.
He followed the sound, turning his head to the right. A guy was standing there, arms crossed, lips pursed. He let out another huff, louder this time, but only slightly.
Namjoon refused to acknowledge him. What the fuck was this guy’s deal? Was he really that bitter that his six-year-old just lost a soccer game for six-year-olds?
One more huff from the guy.
He was beginning to think this guy’s lips were just perpetually pursed and would simply never, ever unpurse themselves, when he, the guy, finally unpursed his lips to speak.
“I just think it’s pretty irresponsible to bring Gatorade to a soccer game for first graders,” he said, huffily, “No offense.”
(or: namjin are soccer dads who fall in luv)

Summary
Kim Seokjin has his life planned out for him. As the sole heir to the K Inc. empire, including their chain of successful supermarket stores, the question is not one of will he take over but when will he take over. Before he is allowed, his grandfather provides him with one simple task: first, work for six months at one of their stores.
Wanting nothing more than to get in and leave as soon as possible without forming any connections to the place, Seokjin accepts. Part-time worker Jeon Jungkook ruins his plans.

Summary
Namjoon has come by the bakery more than a few times over the few weeks since they first met, with the flimsy excuse that their frankly very basic coffee is good enough to walk five minutes off of his usual path, but mostly to lean over the counter during slow hours and talk to whoever’s around before he has to either leave for work, pick his son up from school, or head home to start dinner. To flirt, really—he’s about as subtle as a summer storm with it, but Yoongi doesn’t mind it.
Isn’t sure which of them he’s flirting with sometimes, or both, but likes it just the same.
(In which Jeongguk loves easily, Yoongi loves quietly, and Namjoon is love embodied.)

Summary
Jeon Seokjin has exactly four weeks to stop the impending engagement of his younger brother, doomed to a loveless marriage. The only way to stop it is to make a better match, more advantageous, more lucrative for the Jeon family. It's impossible. It's his only option.
Min Yoongi does not want, will never want, will never ever even consider, marriage. It's not in the cards. He's stubborn enough to achieve the total ban on marriage talks. Except maybe his grandmother is a little more stubborn than he is, and maybe she's determined to see him march down the aisle.
The chaebol arranged marriage au that exactly one and a half people asked for.

Summary
"I guess," Jungkook pauses momentarily to inhale a deep, bracing breath, "I would just want you to come to my work events and laugh at my jokes and don't correct people if they imply that we're doing it."
"Having sex, you mean," Jin clarifies gently, and Jungkook chokes on air. If his face was any redder, Jin would insist on taking him to the hospital. Jungkook clears his throat, obviously trying to play off the strangled, choked sound as a casual cough.
"Yes. Doing... sex."
(Hedge Fund wunderkind and Certified Awkward Gay Jungkook needs a sugar baby to show off at work, and Professional Competitive Eater and Objectively Beautiful Human Jin just wants to stop working shitty side-jobs. Fake Sugar Daddy AU. A trope and a half.)

Summary
He was the last person Namjoon expected to hear from - thought he was dreaming when he saw the email in his work inbox. It was short and simple, typical Hoseok. Just: We saw what happened. We’re so sorry. If you need get away for awhile, you’re always welcome to come stay with us - JH. He wonders now if Hoseok was surprised when he said yes. If Hoseok only extended the invitation because he didn’t think Namjoon would actually come.
(Or: Namjoon chose a solo career and left Yoongi and Hoseok behind. Seven years later, after being outed by a Korean tabloid, he ends up on their couch in Queens, trying to face an uncertain future. And confront feelings that have persisted for nearly a decade.)

Summary
Taehee had thought maybe someone would ask — Hey Taehee, are all those lives you’ve been doing with Soojin actually some type of weird foreplay? or, maybe, Hey Taehee, when you sing your lines with your mouth two inches away from Soojin’s, how hard is it for you to keep from closing that distance and just going for it, right there on stage? — but no one ever did, and eventually she’d figured it was something they all knew about, but didn’t want to mention.
