mark lee's guide to stopping the end of the world by thiyatrack (matchathi)
Fandoms: NCT (Band)
30 Apr 2025
Tags
Summary
The nasal tone of the brunette news reporter that Jisung has a mild crush on announces on TV that an asteroid is heading towards earth, the collision estimated to take place in three weeks. Jeno looks stricken, back straightening as he reads the words on the TV thrice more before turning his wide eyes to the rest of them.
Mark sits at the kitchen counter with his aching head in his hands, watching Donghyuck make chicken noodle soup and wondering why he still remembers it all.

Summary
Youngjae’s eyes are dark and sultry, staring across the table at Jaebum like he wants to devour him whole.
Jaebum’s jaw tightens. He taught Youngjae how to look at someone like that.
Mostly by actually looking at Youngjae like that.

Summary
Seungkwan looks from the picture to Hansol’s face, expression unreadable. “You should add this to your scrapbook.”
(Much, much later, Hansol will realize this was Seungkwan telling him to remember him by.)
“I want you to have it,” states Hansol firmly.
(He already knows that the chances of him forgetting Seungkwan have vanished out of existence anyway.)

Summary
Jisung’s jet-black hair is plastered to his forehead, head resting against the edge of the bathtub as he looks up at Chenle, puffy cheeks splotched with sickness and misery, blinks slow and measured, smile tired and gentle.
And suddenly, it all makes sense.

raise the stakes (i'll be your safety net) by thiyatrack (matchathi)
Fandoms: NCT (Band)
18 Oct 2024
Tags
Summary
"If you want to get me married, then I have a condition."
Chenle’s throat is dry and he briefly considers backing out before the format of a matrimonial profile flashes in his mind. If he needs to read the words outdoor person and family-oriented once more, he might throw up a few vital organs.
“You have to marry me off to a man.”
[ Alternatively: The one in which Chenle marries for family, Jisung marries for the economy, and between a ton of cut fruit and animal post-it notes, they stay married for each other. ]

hell and fever (have nothing on you) by thiyatrack (matchathi) for biakyo, sunwarrior, UglyBugly

Summary
Predictably, Mark falls sick as well.
“Next time, don’t put yourself directly in the line of fire,” says Donghyuck with an eye-roll, even if it is more affectionate and less exasperated. “Have some sense of self-preservation, why don’t you.”
“I know nothing except self-preservation,” says Mark, words decorated with a small laugh. “Trust me, this was an anomaly."

Summary
“God, you’re such a loser, I’m so attracted to you,” sighs Donghyuck, making Mark’s head snap up to make sure he heard that right. “What? It’s not like you were going to say it yourself.” He leans in a little closer, leaving an inch or so between their noses as he says, voice lowering, “For the record, I’d let you get away with just about anything right now.”
[ Alternatively: The one where Mark and Donghyuck hook up thinking it's Donghyuck's last day on the job, only for things to not quite work out that way. ]

Summary
“How has the romantic atmosphere not gotten to you already?” Donghyuck is slightly tipsy, fingers intertwined tightly with Mark’s as he points to Jeno’s arm over Jaemin’s shoulder. “Like, you two have come together for every single prom so far. You’ve even slow danced together. You’re telling me this is entirely platonic?”

Hell is being in love.

Summary
“So let me get this straight.”
“No, actually, the point is that this whole situation is very much not str—”
“So the PhD student that you’re working with comes in, throws out the word boyfriend in relation to you, and your automatic reaction is to think of me?”

can't turn the radio down (can't think of anyone else) by thiyatrack (matchathi)

Summary
“What? I’d date you!”
In every game of truth or dare, Jeno has always picked truth. This time, it feels like he’s picking neither. “Sure you would,” he scoffs sarcastically, the back of his neck sparking with heat and electricity. “Even I wouldn’t.”(Alternatively: Five times when Jeno doesn't take Jaemin seriously when he confesses, and the one time that he does.)
-
Tags
Summary
Jeno is blood and sweat and tears, mixed in the wrong proportions and poured into a mould loosely resembling a man. He’s gross and sticky and melting in the sun and Jaemin looks at him in exactly the way that he is, without the one emotion that Jeno was so used to looking back at.
Reverence.

the spaces between the words. by thiyatrack (matchathi) for aeristarshine

Summary
Mark doesn’t remember the story in the morning. He remembers Donghyuck’s hand against his heart, patting him gently – once, twice, thrice. He remembers having his eyes closed as Donghyuck pressed his lips to Mark’s forehead. He remembers the last thought in his head before he drifted off into the warm arms of sleep – that the familiarity is no longer enough.

Summary
"The difference is that you haven't signed a contract with other people stating that you'd marry them if you were both single by thirty-two." Donghyuck's phone lies in Mark's hand, a picture from Donghyuck's sister open. Mark's legs dangle as he sits on the counter next to the stove. "Look at what it says: We, Mark Lee and Lee Donghyuck, pledge to get married should we find ourselves unable to obtain a suitable partner by the ripe old age of thirty-two. We were so much more eloquent back then."
"We also thought thirty-two was a ripe old age, I wouldn't look back on those days too lovingly."
[ Alternatively: 5 dates that Donghyuck sets Mark up on, and 1 date that Mark sets Donghyuck up on. ]

How to Turn Your Life Into a Cheesy Rom-Com, A Guide by Mark Lee and Lee Donghyuck
STEP 1: Walk straight into a lamppost.[ Alternatively: Donghyuck offers to help Mark save face in front of an ex at a wedding. Mark thinks there's a chance this will not go the same way as every fake dating rom-com ever. It does. ]

Summary
"Hi, you've reached DNYL's Haechan. Who may I help you break up with today?"
[ Alternatively: Mark and Donghyuck run an agency that helps people break up with their partners, but things get a little complicated after they receive a call from Mark's partner. Meanwhile, Jaemin has a ton of repressed feelings, and Jeno's trying to figure out his hoe phase. ]

Space is given and hugs are taken and the tempest settles before it picks up again.

It's Mark's birthday.

Summary
Jaemin can confidently say that he peaked at age five.
"I can barely choose what I want to eat for breakfast, and now you tell me that I have to choose my own soulmate? That's crazy. That's too much responsibility for me."

stomachaches and dandelions (hate this distance) by thiyatrack (matchathi)

Summary
Jeno wanted to believe that they would stay friends even after Jaemin moved across the country, though they agreed to not fight the rapids of time and distance and make it more miserable for themselves. They would always share their best friendship, regardless of whether it carried over in the rush of new experiences, independence, and starting a new phase of life. They slept that night holding hands, at peace with their decisions.
Most of their decisions, at least. Jeno never got to tell Jaemin he loved him.
