Summary
When academic rivals Jaemin and Donghyuck wake an ancient, mythological force in a basement, it makes them an offer: their most desperate wish made true, just like magic.
But when they discover the impossibly high price, the two of them are forced into an uneasy, tense alliance as they scramble to undo the damage before it’s too late.
It doesn’t help that Donghyuck finds him increasingly drawn to Jaemin in ways he’s not ready to admit.

Summary
Donghyuck looks up and immediately feels a hysterical laugh bubble up in his throat. It’s fucking Mark Lee, ex-best friend, ex-love of his life, standing and looking at him with stupidly gentle concern. He looks good. He looks better than he did last summer, somehow. It shouldn’t be possible.
He holds himself with that same easy, athletic grace. His blonde dye job, which Donghyuck had seen on his Instagram a few months ago, is growing out at the roots. He’s wearing a windbreaker and jean shorts, and when Donghyuck looks at the strong, built lines of Mark’s legs, he wishes the meteor would hurry it up.
---
Donghyuck dreams about the end of the world, and also about Mark Lee.

Summary
Buck crawled into bed beside Eddie.
On any other night, Buck would’ve kept his distance. Turned away so he and Eddie could sleep back-to-back, no pretense of being comfortable bed partners.
Tonight, Buck didn’t hesitate; he pushed into Eddie’s space. He slipped his bicep between Eddie’s neck and pillow, bending his arm at the elbow to loop it over Eddie’s shoulder and across his chest. He wrapped his other arm around Eddie’s waist, shoving his freezing fingers into the tight space between Eddie’s hip and the mattress.
Buck shifted in close until he was pressed along the entire length of Eddie’s back. He fit his legs into the right angle of Eddie’s bent knees, tangling their ankles together, chafing his socks against Eddie’s bare feet. He hugged Eddie desperately to his body. No part of them wasn’t touching.
Buck didn’t know if it was an attempt to comfort Eddie or himself. He wasn’t sure there was much of a difference.
In the aftermath of a gruesome call, Buck and Eddie search for comfort in each other.

Summary
In the comedown, Eddie lets himself drift. He waits for it—the shame, the guilt, the panic over thinking about his best friend while he got himself off.
It comes, but not for the reasons he expects. Eddie melts into his mattress in the aftermath of his orgasm, and doesn’t stop thinking about it. He’s gay. He finds Buck hot. Buck is his best friend, his co-parent, his partner in just about everything. Buck likes men too. It’s a possibility, a real one. Eddie can see a future with Buck, and that’s when the panic hits him.
Eddie wasn’t a good husband. What he has with Buck right now isn’t worth losing. Eddie is in love with his best friend, but he thought that about Shannon too—and look where that ended up.
or: Eddie fucks an ex-priest, has a crisis of faith, and figures it out.

Summary
Eddie can’t move. Like this, Buck is illuminated by the sunlight streaming through the window; dust motes shimmering around his head, his hair haloed in gold. Beautiful, Eddie thinks. And to his surprise, he doesn’t feel any sort of guilt about doing so.
Except — he should. Because Buck is dating Tommy, and he’s happy, and Eddie would rather go to his grave repressed and miserable than ever take away from Buck’s happiness.
Or: Eddie starts to untangle his complicated feelings about himself, and Buck. Mainly Buck.

Summary
“I feel fucking explosive, Buck. Like I’m about to go off at any second. I don’t want you caught in my mess.”
His eyes sting. At the very least, Buck contains the sound of it in his voice. “Eddie, I don’t know if you’ve noticed,” he replies, “but I already am.”
Eddie self-implodes. Christopher, seeking refuge, flees to Buck—whose priorities amount to, in varying order: take in the kid, get Eddie to talk to him, and keep the three of them afloat in the process. (Oh, and Tommy’s there too. He thinks.)

Summary
“Do I know you?” the stranger asks, squinting into Jisung’s face. Then he splits into something of a maniacal smile. Snaps his fingers, pokes one into Jisung’s sternum. “You. You’re Jiwon, from 1-Up.”
“Oh my god,” Jisung squeaks when he finds his voice. And around a bewildered laugh, “J.ONE, not Jiwon.”
“What’d you say?”
“J—never mind.”
—
Han Jisung, songwriter-producer and ex-idol, never drinks past his alcohol tolerance. That is, until one night, after a stressful workweek and yet another breakup, he does… and ends up so wasted he accidentally confesses to the man of his dreams, who also happens to be his best friend's boyfriend.
