Summary
It seemed ironic that in their last moments together, Thanos would get emotional over it. Su-bong was always emotional, always crying over something. In part, that meant Thanos was, too. The confirmation was when he stood before Nam-gyu, eyes trailing the splattered blood on the man’s cheek, and itching to come together and never let go because they knew they’d have to.
Emotions weren’t Thanos’ thing, not typically, unless it was intoxicated rage at whatever asshole tried to mess with him. People weren’t his thing, even with how well he used to work a crowd, but Nam-gyu wasn’t a ‘people,’ he was a person. A singular organism that places itself differently from the rest, like a mutated species derived so far from its ancestry that you’d never assume they were related at all.
Thanos didn’t cry, not since he “got rid” of Su-bong all those years ago; he doesn’t, but the man staring into Nam-gyu’s glossed-over eyes was no longer Thanos. It was Su-bong, fully on display and wrecked beyond relief.

Summary
"I'm nothing more than a club promoter to you, right?"
"Oh, don't act like the reason you stick around isn't because of my pills."
"It's not about the pills! It's never been about the damn pills!" Nam-gyu helped move drugs back at the club, but suddenly Thanos' pills are important? This man is unbelievable. Was he not being as obvious as ever? Thanos was a fucking idiot.
"Then why are you still here?"
... Or thangyu get stuck in a situationship, which never goes well in reality nor in fiction, and they have to traverse the confusing and painful world of a true relationship.

Summary
Thanos has been down on his luck for a while, and trying to string together enough cash from normal jobs is pretty hard when your hair is stained purple and your face has been featured in a major news article for weeks.
'The rapper Thanos humiliates himself by forgetting lyrics on LIVE television,' or whatever the hell it says. No one will want to hire him now. Customer service or retail is out of the question; they'll see him and think, 'What kind of store is this?' and walk out. But if he's behind a desk, fake walls, and just a voice behind a phone, no one will know who's working because they can't see him.
Or, maybe he could remove the color in his hair and start over. That could be a better idea. He definitely couldn't stay as Thanos after that mess, and it wouldn't be the first time he's changed aliases.
To make matters worse, he was distracted and slammed into someone; some girl, he assumed by their hair, but when he apologized and called her sweet names, the girl turned around and suddenly grew a snappy voice and a dick. This wasn't a girl; it was some douchebag, but that wasn't the worst part. The worst part was that once he had walked away, the cash in his pocket was missing.

Summary
Nam-gyu had never been afraid of death before, not even when his father was on his deathbed or when his mother almost overdosed. Death didn't scare him, not until he saw Thanos bleeding out in that bathroom, not until he mixed their blood. He wasn't scared of dying before now, before Thanos kissed him. Before Thanos, he didn't have anything to live for. Now, all he wished for was that they would both make it out alive.

Summary
Thanos was dead, and Nam-gyu wasn't sure to be angry or sad. Of course, he wouldn't have much to be sad over, Thanos was the most insufferable man he ever met. He hated Thanos since the day they met, he hated how he spoke and behaved. He hated each detail he took too much notice of. Despite this, there was still a burning feeling in his chest he couldn't get rid of even after taking more than one pill. It was easy letting himself fall into a routine while Thanos was still alive, wake up, talk to him, ask for a pill, and talk more before they stayed together during the games. Lock and key. It was autopilot. Nam-gyu told himself this twisted feeling was because he wasn't used to waking up alone and not because he couldn't bear the fact Thanos was dead and that he wasn't coming back.
And in other words, Nam-gyu really does miss Thanos and cared a lot about him but it's easier to convince himself otherwise than to face the fact he lost someone he loved.

Summary
Thanos and Namgyu play the marble game, the shock sobering them up immediately. They both realize voting 'o' for "one last game" was a mistake they'll regret forever.
Or at least, one of them would regret it as the other won't be able feel at all. -

Summary
“I was so stupid to think this could work, people like you and me just don’t belong together. It’s oil and water, we don’t mix.” Violet shook her head, Caitlyn stared at her helplessly, unsure of how she could help. “They won’t listen to me.”
“Of course they will,” Caitlyn took in Violet’s calloused hands. “Once they look beyond your past, they’ll listen to me, to us. We can prove your innocent, both of you, we’ll win.”
“Cupcake,” Violet pulled back, shame ridden on her features. “I’m tired of talking just to be ignored.”
“What about us?”
“There is no us, we’re oil and water.” Violet turned away, “Just… go back to that fancy house of yours and forget about me, okay?”
Or…
Cait and Vi meet as children after a house fire and the inevitable doom on their trail leads them to meet once again after years spent apart. Vi may have forgotten about Cait, but Cait has never been good at letting go. -

Summary
Arcane Season two but with the Zaunite revolution instead of Ambessa vs Piltover/Zaun
Piltover faces a great threat, the sound of war sung harmonies through the streets across the river. Ambessa strikes a meeting to establish what comes next and how they should respond to Zaun's "degeneracy."
"Half of your council is dead!" The words shattered like echoes through the room, the crowd gazed about the broad shoulders that spoke with nerve and power. Others stared hard at the broken table in the center of the room. Those who looked upon the notion watched with interest and some had their faces twisted in quizzical expression, unsure of what to think her.
