Summary
Jisung is good at three things: avoiding people, hooking up with strangers who don't expect anything, and pretending he doesn't want more.
Minho is good at everything—except understanding why he can't stop looking at the boy with the sad eyes and the scratched-up hands.
As their paths continue to cross, both boys cling to their excuses, using plausible deniability to protect their hearts from the terrifying reality of falling in love.

Summary
“So what’s your call?” Seungmin asked, balancing the coin on his forefinger and thumb.
Minho held up crossed fingers. “Tails.”
“Alright. One, two, three—”
Seungmin flipped the coin in the air, and as soon as it landed in his palm, he slapped it onto the back of his other hand without revealing it.
Minho eyed his two friends warily. “Wait, what’s the punishment if I guess wrong?”
“You have to ask someone out on a date in front of us,” Changbin said.
----------
AKA: It's 1999, and a chance encounter at an arcade leads to an undeniable bond between Minho and Jisung. As they cross the threshold into the new millennium and young adulthood, they try to figure out what it all means, and what they mean to each other.

Summary
“I think… our hearts are in the right place.”
Isn’t that why things have always been this way between them? Isn’t everything they have and haven’t done been out of love? Out of Guilt?
Jisung doesn’t seem to agree.
“Are they?” He challenges. “Because mine’s right here.” Jisung lays his hand across his heart. Then, with the slightest twitch of hesitation, places the same hand across Minho’s chest— Minho’s heart. “And here.”
Minho and Jisung have been in love with each other for as long as they can remember. The strained relationship between their families complicates things.

Summary
Jisung shakes his head, eyes downcast. “I think the only reason I’m talking to you right now is ‘cause I performed CPR eight minutes ago.”
There’s a gentle touch beneath his chin, lifting his gaze back to Minho. “Die and come back, sweetheart, that’s the combo.”
“But you gotta die first.” Jisung grabs his wrist again, his words firm, “and that’s not allowed to happen with me around.”
Jisung, your friendly neighbourhood Spiderman, finds himself attached to the city’s deadliest unkillable mercenary.

Summary
“Sungie,” Chan said, walking up to place a hand on his shoulder, “meet Lee Minho. Minho is a skater that I would like to train starting this season.”
Jisung and Minho accidentally entangled themselves in a panic-induced stare-down, which lasted entirely too long. Minho’s face turned red, the color climbing from his neck all the way up to his ears. Neither of them said anything in the way of a greeting.
“Okay,” Jisung offered after a pause, “what does that have to do with me?”
“Minho,” said Chan, ignoring the question. “This is Han Jisung, he’s my former singles champion and, I hope, your new partner in pairs.”
OR:
Two disgraced figure skating champions make the reluctant decision to team up and compete for the Grand Prix gold medal as the world's only male-male figure skating pair. With their careers on the line, they need to go from rivals to partners and compete with the pros, many of whom are their former colleagues. It would be easier, of course, if they weren't also falling in love with each other.

Can You Love Me Better? by booberstank, chronically_ill_chemistry

Summary
Objectively Jisung knew what was expected of him: small talk and friendly chatting. He was out of practice, only speaking to Chan and Changbin when necessary for work, and Felix when he forced himself into Jisung’s life. Meeting new people never went well for him, still Felix begged Jisung to go to his housewarming party. He wanted to cancel, but Felix was so excited. Felix was used to Jisung withdrawing, but everyone had a breaking point, even Felix. He could see his future; crouched in Felix’s bathroom attempting to keep himself from a panic attack or shutdown, unable to socialise. Yet, as soon as he was inside Felix’s apartment, he met Minho. They click in a way Jisung had never experienced, Minho ignoring everyone else at the party for Jisung, something Jisung finds surprisingly easy. They begin to fall into an easy routine with each other, and Jisung believed for the first time, he might have found someone he could unmask with, someone who would be easy to be with. As the relationship progresses however, Jisung’s begins to spiral, reality always being more difficult.
Autistic Jisung meets autistic Minho at a party. They click together like missing pieces, but Jisung’s trauma never lets anything be so simple.

Summary
“It’s good,” Felix decides, after a minute. “That you’re trying something new. I think it’ll look cool.”
Jisung bites his tongue, focuses on breathing steadily. The record spins into the second-to-last song, and Freddie Mercury sings about something that Jisung doesn’t quite understand. Felix sings every word with precision, like he does get it.
He leans forward and whispers against Jisung’s ear, like they’re not alone, like he’s saying something secret.
He says, “I bet hyung’ll think it’s cool, too.”
or: five times jisung changed a part of himself for minho, and the one time he didn’t have to.

Summary
“That– That was Minho,” Jisung croaks, speaking in English, still in a state of shock. He’s vaguely aware of how little he’s helping to clear up the confusion, but Felix seems to understand anyway, the realization dawning on him.
“Wait– like, the Minho? Childhood best friend Minho?” Felix questions, talking in English too.
Jisung nods slowly, taking his bottom lip between his teeth, chewing it – yet another nervous habit he can never seem to break.
He doesn’t know why he didn’t consider this – running into Minho again. Afterall, he did move back to Seoul, the exact place he had fled from.
“I still don’t know what you two had a falling out over,” Felix points out, his tone gentle.
Jisung shakes his head. “I– I still don’t want to talk about it. Just know… I fucked it up.”
or:
After running away from Seoul years ago, Jisung finds himself moving back with no choice but to face Minho and what he's done, learning new things about himself along the way.

Summary
Sometimes, Wei Ying thinks he'll blink and his store will be gone—the greenhouse, the shelves lined with seed packets and decorative pots, his nice counter, polished wood and the top decorated with stupid stickers.
It won't, but it's a thought.
Wei Ying finds himself with a crush on his brother's quiet classmate; this has its benefits, and it's liabilities.
It's wonderful having a crush.
It's terrifying having a crush.

Summary
Minho's head snaps up at the sound and his eyes widen when he's met with Jisung's. They're so dark— so deep. They're the color of rich soil, or an old, decaying oak tree. They remind him of the forest; the leaves, the pines, the earth. They're pretty. So pretty that Minho's lips part involuntarily, a small puff of air escapes, and—
What the hell is wrong with you right now?
Nineteen-year-old, cancer-stricken Lee Minho is well aware of the presence of his impending death. Exhausted by relentless treatments and facing another relapse, Minho contemplates giving up. His mother's unwavering hope clashed with his own yearning for a life (or lack thereof) beyond chemotherapy.
As a compromise, Minho reluctantly agrees to attend a summer program for chronically ill youth. It is there where he meets Han Jisung: an unusual "friend" whose terminal illness makes Minho rethink his outlook on life.
TLDR; Minho meets Han Jisung in a program designated for chronically ill youth.

Summary
Minho was diagnosed with terminal ALS two years ago and is now simply waiting for time to take its course. He had accepted his inevitable death, and it had, after many lonely hours of contemplation, simply become a part of who he was. He thought it would be all he was- until he met a boy, with pretty eyes and stubborn sunlight for a smile, and he learnt the difference between life and living.

Summary
The escort took a dramatic breath, reading over the name silently. He was far slower than necessary as he dramatically adjusted his mic stand. The tension was killing Minho. Then, finally, Sehun read the name on his slip out loud.
“Han Jisung” Just for a second Minho lost control over his facial muscles. His teeth clenched together tightly. The grinding of his molasses louder than the static that filed his ears. Frustrated tears clouded his view for just a second. He blinked them away before they could fall, thankful that everyone in the Capitol was aware of his blinking habit. Now wasn’t the time to break down. Not in front of the cameras.

Summary
Every person is born with a spirit animal—an extension of their soul. They grow up with it, play with it, laugh with it; they are comforted and protected by it. Most people openly walk the streets with their spirit animals by their sides, and occasionally some choose to hide theirs.
Stray Kids assume Lee Minho hides his spirit animal for protection or privacy. It’s not unheard of, though the extent of it seems strange; they’ve never glimpsed it even as his closest friends.
But here is the truth:
At eighteen years old, Minho’s spirit animal was burned alive in front of his very eyes.
Lee Minho isn’t hiding his spirit animal—
He does not have one at all.

Summary
“Hey” He hears himself saying out loud.
“Yes?” Seokjin asks, taking a baby-step forward. His shoulders look a bit out of place in proportion to his head, like he’s shrinking into his figure.
This can’t be good
But then, what other alternative does he have?
Namjoon has never been a stagnant person, his mother keeps tabs on him every week to check he hasn’t done something stupid and impulsive like shave his head and get rid of 90% of his possesions. Why would he shy away from a possibility like this? He’s not that fond of people, as a general concept, but the last time he granted himself the chance to explore his curiosity towards someone…he got lucky.
And what is luck if not a reminder of the infinite options we have? Of the fact that chances are so miniscule and delicate, they can be easily shattered into smithereens if not handled correctly.
Namjoon knows, he’s had experience, so he takes a chance.
Or: Seeing the boy with the long bangs and embroidered jean jacket, several possibilities open up in front of Namjoon, but he takes his time to explore each, one at a time.

Summary
Jeongguk had entirely forgotten the empty chair in the activity building and Namjoon’s minor outburst over a locked-up camper, until someone plops unexpectedly down in the seat in front of him and says in a gruff voice, “S’up bitches.”
Or
Jeongguk, fresh off a suicide attempt, deeply unhappy with his sexuality, and with nowhere left to turn, enters a seemingly benevolent conversion therapy camp. But just under the surface is a culture rife with secrecy, violence, and abuse.

He likes the lights dim and the silence of the library.Unfortunately his world is bright, loud and full of people who tell him what to do and how to be. He could be so content with himself if he wouldn’t have to try to be someone he isn’t.

“Do you know how flowers talk?”
“They do?”
“Yes, flowers use their colour to communicate.”
