    Summary

    In which two deeply damaged people try, badly, to offer each other olive branches without mistaking them for weapons--or turning it into a sex thing.

    (It's definitely a sex thing.)

    --

    (Trans!Grace repeatedly gets the rug pulled out from under him. Simon continues to require several therapists. Unfortunately, there are still no therapists on Erid.)

    Summary

    Another person. On Erid. For Ryland to touch and hug and love.

    As soon as they cleaned him up, that is.

    And yet, when did things ever turn out the way you expected them to? Ryland’s life sure hadn’t gone at all to plan, so what was one more wrench being thrown in it?

    or

    Simon and Grace are constantly at each other’s throats, until they’re at each other’s throats.

    Summary

    “Is it okay if I touch you?” the man breathes.

    Simon doesn't know why he asks. No, it's not okay. None of this is okay.

    “Please,” he continues when Simon doesn't respond. “I-I need permission.”

    Simon closes his eyes. It's his own type of silent defiance. If this man isn't just fucking with him – if he does, for some strange reason, feel bad or guilty about capturing him, then good. Let him drown in it.

    Simon is captured by a compulsive liar who, bafflingly, gives him food, smiles at him, and pretends the Quiet Rapture never happened.

    Grace saves the life of a violent human who seems to be under the terrifying delusion that every star and planet has disappeared without a trace.

    Summary

    It started out innocent - drinks, friends, occasional flirting (but that's normal, right?)
    But then Seonghwa was on the table, everyone taking shots off his stomach and then... Kim Hongjoong was out of his depth.

    or the orgy after the body shots

     

    - the (very smutty and not at all plot-heavy) continuation of 'lemon drop: thirst ver.

    Summary

    Seonghwa is an artist whose work has garnered international acclaim and a large internet following, but no amount of popularity has filled the hole in his lonely, aching heart. When he pours all of his longing and desires into a single statue, he creates what can only be described as the man of his dreams.

    But he is only made of clay, and Seonghwa longs for more. Moved by his devotion to his art, a lesser god grants him the wish he so desires: he makes the statue human. But a god’s gifts always comes with a cost, and only so much can be received when nothing is given in return.
