Summary
He wakes up to pearl-grey morning light coming through the old lace curtains of Dongsik's window. He's wearing an old stretched-out shirt and sweatpants, not his own. Beside him, arm tucked under the pillow, Dongsik sleeps.
Hot panic rushes over him. He dimly remembers getting into the shower, being guided by Dongsik's hands. Being handed these clothes, tugging the shirt over his head. Accepting a patter of explanations from Dongsik on why it would be better that he just stay the night. And he remembers everything before that.
He squeezes his eyes shut, as though he can disappear back into sleep. Dongsik makes a small sound, shifts slightly against the pillow, and Juwon's eyes fly open again. If he is here when Dongsik wakes up, he will have to say something, and that is impossible.

Summary
“Why do you ask?”
And fuck, if that doesn’t rattle the box Louis’ tried to lock this up in, and if they weren’t trying to be better, do better, Louis would ask him why do you think? Would ask him what goes on in your head that you think I wouldn’t want to know all of this? Would ask him what it is about the two of them, who can talk for nights on nights on nights, who can know each other’s topography and undersoil, who can live within the most wild and rugged terrains of one another, yet only turn over their most weathered stones for tourists.
-
Louis and Lestat argue about moving in, the interview, and finally, deeply, darkly, about Magnus.

Summary
“I want to know about your life before me. Had to learn it the hard way, didn’t we? About the Paris Coven?”
“I told you both what they were, you just didn’t listen,” Lestat snaps, and at least they’ve had this fight already in the time since that fateful reunion – that telling them, vaguely as he did, that vampires outside of New Orleans were vicious doesn’t fucking count for anything – and Lestat seems to remember that around the same time Louis does, because he shrinks a little. Runs a hand back through his hair, looks up at Louis through his painted lashes. Then, softer: “You still think I am withholding?”
Which - - fuck. Louis laughs.
“Yeah, baby, I do.”
-
A year after Louis and Lestat reunite, they're still figuring it out. Daniel calls it out, Louis tries to move them forwards, and maybe they just fuck instead.

Summary
Outside, Tokyo’s early evening traffic thrums with urgency beneath heavy rain, and he knows if he trained his ear, he’d hear the city alive regardless with chatter and music. If he trained his nose, he’d smell the thickening, humid weather, the bay, the heady smells of gyoza and Takoyaki and tempura, cooking in spitting oil, but he doesn’t. No, what he does is keep looking at Lestat and thinking – not for the first time – that this has been a mistake. Thinks he has stayed too long here in Japan, even if it’s been just shy of two weeks.
-
It's been 18 months since they reunited, Lestat's on the cusp of fame, Louis' trying to be companion enough for himself, they're both a mess, but they both still want each other all the same.

Summary
“When you’re really worked up, you start speaking English. It’s attractive. Especially in bed.” Dongsik says, grinning at the embarrassed look Juwon shoots at him. “I’m curious. I don’t know much English, but you grew up in England. You never talk about it.”
Juwon sits with the question for a moment, staring out the windshield. The reeds are golden in the sunlight, sibilant in the wind. Their pungent scent carries, and Dongsik smiles despite it. He’s grown used to this view, obstructed by Han Juwon. It’s Juwon that he stares at, and it’s Juwon who is the subject of his unending fascination.

Summary
“Ah, leave the… leave the piano,” Louis said carefully, eyeing the dingy plank of wood held under Lestat’s arm. Lestat looked down at it, then back at him, brow furrowed, expression hopelessly lost.
“But, I need to practice, my tour—”
“We’ll get you a real—” Louis winced as the word real caused Lestat’s shoulders to hunch. “A new piano, a nicer one.”

Summary
Whatever carefully blank expression Lestat is trying on disappears like a slap. “Armand made a fledgling. Why would he do that?” Lestat asks.
“Oh, you know,” Louis says, watching the three dots of a new text pop up. “He knew Daniel was… important to me.”
He means to say it with rueful annoyance, as if to say, “so he ruined him.” But as Daniel’s text comes in—the most important question I should have asked you in that fucking interview: where do you buy coke in Dubai?—Louis’s voice trails off, his words maybe lacking some of the bite.
or
Lestat misunderstands what Daniel is to Louis and tries to be a champ about it. Meanwhile Louis rediscovers his drug of choice—Lestat.

“Did we call each other boyfriend? Surely not. Sounds weird even saying out loud.”
“You were my beloved,” Armand says. “My lover. My boy.”
“Your human pet. Your mortal fool. I get it,” Daniel says, not neglecting to notice his use of the past tense. “You want to go see a movie?”

mystified by how this city screams your name by akosmia

Summary
“When I told you this city is my home–” Lestat starts. “I was being truthful. There’s no other place I could ever live but here.” The crooked smile on his lips turns a bit sadder. “This is where I met you.” He pauses, then says, “Where I lost you.”
“You didn’t–”
“I did.” There’s tenderness in the back of his gaze, so much of it Louis almost feels out of breath. “Do not soften the blow for me, Louis. We both know I don’t deserve it.”
Louis says nothing for a moment. The weight of the years they’ve shared presses against his chest, as if Lestat had stretched out his arm and his hand had come to rest right where his heart is furiously beating like a hummingbird. He wonders if they’ll ever make peace with it, or if the work of living is just this – to accept the burden of it, and carry it as best as they can.
Then, he sighs. “I’m here now.”
or: four times Louis comes back to New Orleans, and how he finds his way back to Lestat.

Summary
“Do you want me to say that I drove all this way because I wanted to see you, Han Joowon?”
The kettle clicks off loudly in the silence. Joowon lets out a shuddering breath.
“Just–,” Joowon starts, even as he feels his heart clench wetly inside his chest. “Don’t say things you don’t mean. I hate when people do that.”
———
Dongsik presses his hands against Joowon’s spine, and his ribs against Joowon’s own, pushing, and pushing until the dirt on Dongsik’s hands start to polish all of the sharp points of his bones.

Summary
Zhang Hao has learned a lot about Hanbin — that he wanted to be a teacher, that he’s been dancing for nearly ten years, that he’s kind and gentle and pretty, oh, so pretty. That they have so much in common, not only in the mirrored facets of their past, but in the way that they think about this competition, their hopes and dreams, the way that they want to live their lives. Zhang Hao learns that Hanbin is just as alluring and wonderful and life-changing as he had thought him to be all those years ago.
But the most important thing that Zhang Hao has learned: Sung Hanbin does not remember him.
Zhang Hao meets a boy who changes the course of his life. And then he meets him again.

Summary
It takes months for Joo Won to first mention Lee Dong Sik—although the therapist obviously knows more of his history than either of them acknowledges. After that, the therapist asks Joo Won, in the middle of unrelated anecdotes, “Does that remind you of Lee Dong Sik?” or “Is that how Lee Dong Sik made you feel?”
--A story about stones, unturning and returning them.

Summary
"I am sorry. For waking you up at this time. I just… don't seem to have the courage to do this in the morning," Juwon doesn't meet Dongsik's gaze, nor does he move towards the bedroom he's so familiar with now. He's draped in the incessant waves of shadows, in his uncertainty that's clashing with the determination in his words, one that reminds Dongsik of the Juwon he knew during those months.
"The courage to do what?"
"To come to you."

Summary
The wind must have announced his presence, must have alerted her most loyal guardian, for he hasn’t even lifted his hand to knock when the door swings open and there he stands. Hands in pockets, hip slightly cocked, the waves of jet black hair closer to a more familiar length. But it’s the twinkle in those curving eyes that feels the most surreal, a gut punch into a past that feels a lifetime ago from now, on the porch of Dong-sik’s old family home.
“It’s been a while, Inspector Han.”
Joo-won fights a grimace, looks up. “I need your help.”
