Euijoo has played by the rules over and over, and each time Nicholas is dragged back into the depths of the cave anyway; it has become clear that Euijoo cannot save him.

Euijoo wants to do it all. He wants to kiss Nicholas and wake up next to him. He wants to watch Nicholas playing with Yihyun, take them for a walk in the park and adopt that cat Nicholas mentioned wanting to raise.

He wants to share his worries about the future with Nicholas, have someone by his side as he watches Yihyun grow up.
He wants it all.

Summary
For someone with a paralyzing phobia of needles, a tattoo parlor is the last place Euijoo belongs. But when his best friend asks him to play the "doting boyfriend" for a couple’s discount, Euijoo agrees to the ruse. His goal is simple: survive the hour, keep his eyes shut, and leave with his skin unscathed. He expected a funny story and a quick escape; he didn’t expect to stumble into the wildest version of himself yet.
Beneath the lavender lights and blue shadows of a shop called Ultramarine, Euijoo uncovers a side of himself he never knew existed. It’s all because of one irresistible man and the intoxicating pull of his craft. He came to help a friend, but he leaves haunted by the man behind the machine, and the deep, drowning world of ultramarine.

Summary
If he were to be honest, Nicholas was fully convinced the shy and clumsy persona was a front to amuse the viewers. It's not unusual, to play a role or character; it's far more entertaining that way. So he'd be lying if he said it wasn't the littlest bit jarring. How there's no persona at all. How there's no difference between the EJ he watches on Friday or Saturday and the Euijoo he meets up with all the other days.
Euijoo is EJ. EJ is Euijoo. Nicholas kind of feels devastated.

Summary
Nicholas never wanted to be a soldier.
He was content with being a blacksmith his whole life, just like his father had. But when a group of Royal guardsmen arrived on horseback with a scroll that decreed that every family must admit one man to war to help fight the coming battle, well, Nicholas couldn’t send his father.
Euijoo doesn't want this life.
He spent his days in his room reading and analyzing artifacts and ancient Kaolin technology, which is how he liked it. His father disapproved of it, he was the prince after all so it made sense that his father would want him to focus on his duties as the crown prince. His sister Is the sage of the goddesses, as most daughters of the kingdom are, but with each failure to commune with the goddesses she grows anxious.
With the rise of monsters and dark magic in a world where the connection to the goddesses is dying, they struggle to call upon their goddesses for help. The Prince and the Knight discover their own ways to help.

Summary
It takes him until the end of the street to realize that something is very wrong, indeed.
Their group has never assumed themselves to be the most popular one around, but they’re not unknown, either. They have a strong fanbase in Japan and a high concentration of fans in this particular area, so walking around without a mask is practically inviting unwanted attention and crowding. Even with his mask pulled up, a few people still glance at Yudai, as if half-aware of who he is but unwilling to cross that line over a hunch.
Not a single person looks at Taki.
“What the fuck,” Yudai whispers.
or: something is happening to taki. yudai would do anything to keep him from going away, if only he knew how.

Summary
Nicholas ponders at the possibilities of dinner. Despite the initial options, most restaurants are closed, including the Chinese noodle shop that he frequents with Maki. He was really hoping to get cumin lamb noodles.
He lets out a defeated sigh. He just wants to eat his dinner and if he's lucky, maybe get his hands on some energy drinks to power him through the night. He's not asking for much.
As he turns another corner, ready to head back and curl into his bed malnourished and cold, warm light hits the pavement from a shop.
Salvation! He sees it in his mind's eye, like a beggar receiving moldy bread in his bowl.
"Hello, how many?"
or: Nicholas stumbles upon a hole-in-the-wall diner and meets a man with good hands and a past he avoids like the plague -

Summary
He knew that long before Euijoo had even allowed himself to hope, Nicholas had been completely, head-over-heels in love with Yudai. It was an open knowledge among their friends, a fact of life that had faded with time. But now, seeing the way Nicholas was looking at the spot where Yudai would soon be standing, a small, insidious voice whispered in Euijoo's ear. He's still in love with him.
Fuma and Yudai are getting married. Euijoo spends the weekend spiraling as old insecurities resurface.

Summary
Nicholas stared for a moment, then leaned forward, a grin spreading across his face. “Then we make a deal.”
Euijoo blinked. “A deal?”
“I teach you how to fight. You patch me up. Fair trade.”
“That doesn’t sound fair at all,” Euijoo said, frowning. “You’ll get less out of it.”
Nicholas chuckled. “You’d be surprised how often I get hurt.”
Nicholas has survived gangs, implants, and the kind of streets that chew people up. Now he fights underground matches and tries not to think about the device in his neck that malfunctions more each week.
Euijoo runs a quiet clinic -- too skilled for someone who claims he’s self-taught, too calm for someone living in the slums. Nicholas can’t read him, can’t ignore him, can’t stop returning to him.
What begins as patching wounds becomes something far more intimate -- a pull neither of them asked for, crafted from blood, lies, and the kind of longing that grows in dark places.
But Euijoo’s past isn’t as harmless as he pretends.
And Nicholas’s implant is a ticking fuse.

Summary
Euijoo has mapped the course of the Eye of Vargr through hell and back. Too bad hell wasn't the only thing waiting in the fog.
Nicholas grabbed Euijoo’s arm. “Sirens,” he hissed. “This is that death-trap strait from the tavern tales. Why’d you plot a course here?”
Euijoo’s knuckles whitened on his compass. “It’s the only route to the Black Tides treasure. You think I’d risk us if there were another—”
A harmony of voices cut through the mist, sweet and keening. The ship lurched as if dragged by invisible hands.
Then the water erupted.
OR The Teamies face off against sirens and Nichojoo are forced to confront the age old question of "what are we?" in a "Dude Why did the siren take on my image to seduce you, is there something you need to tell me?" AU.
