Summary
Here’s the anger, the nuclear option, ready to go to arms to defend Jaemin from himself. Jaemin can hear the misery trapped in Jeno's throat- he’s choking around it. “That’s so bullshit. You’re the goodest thing that’s ever been in the history of good.” The black of his eyes. Supermassive black hole, welling over.
Suddenly it’s too much, too soon. This is evisceration, and it hurts more than he thought it might. It feels fucking stupid. Several hours of today wasted in agony, and somehow the part involving the metaphorical heart is a thousand times worse than the body’s theatrics.
Or: Jaemin wakes up in pain. They have a lot of conversations about it.

Summary
The three-body problem describes how three objects move under one of the physical forces, such as gravity. Solutions of the three-body problem may be of an arbitrary complexity and are very far from being completely understood.
There's Jeno, and there's Jaemin, and then there's Doyoung. And the end of the world in-between.Bookmarked by softlu

Summary
"How will I keep strong if you’re breaking?” he’d chided. “I need you to be strong for me, Nurse Lee, so I can break sometimes too.”
And Donghyuck’s fate had been sealed, wiping his face and getting a grip, only for Jaehyun to keep him in his embrace a lot longer than he deserved.
He’d fallen, as the curse was at Cherry Medical, for a professor that knew all about hearts except his own.

Summary
Everyone back on Sihnon had told Minghao that he was crazy to spend his coveted vacation time on a backwater planet in the outer rim, but he is convinced that one of his responsibilities as a Companion is to be well-traveled.
He’d expected his trip to teach him more about how people live elsewhere and to improve his ability to understand the clients who come to him hoping to find an outlet for their frustrations and a respite from stress, for both body and mind.
He never anticipated that he was embarking on a journey of self discovery.

Summary
"Johnny, what's that red thing?" Jaehyun inquires as he inches closer.
Johnny stops and makes a questioning noise. He sits back on his heels to see what Jaehyun is talking about. The red material ends up in his hands and Jaehyun crouches down next to him. It's a spiderman mask.
Jaehyun furrows his eyebrows. What could Mark have that for? There's no way—
"Mark is Spiderman?"
Alternatively: Jaehyun accidentally discovers a secret he can only deny for so long before he has to face it as truth. The thing about secrets though, is that some create rifts, and others expose the rifts that are already there.

Summary
Jeno knows there are far too many cats living on Brooklyn’s streets. Jaemin has frequently complained about Jeno’s habit of stopping to say hello to every local stray, as it often means they are a little late to wherever they are headed. Jeno is certain that this is the first time that he has met this particular kitty.
(Jeno meets Renjun as a result of an impulsive act of kindness, and he is smitten. But there's also love closer to home, if Jeno chooses to see it.)

Summary
Gou smirked over the pillow she laid on, grinning at Makoto who stood awkwardly in the middle of his college dorm room. He pulled on the tiny shorts she’d forced on him, though that did zero good at all. She’d even found a thong for him, the straps which she’d pulled up over his hips and above the shorts; he tucked them down again self-consciously, even if it was now less fabric covering his body.
“Seriously, I don’t get why you have such a complex about yourself, Mako,” Gou said as she slipped off her bed and sidled up to her best friend. “Your body is gorgeous.”
Makoto pressed nervously at his thick glasses and coughed awkwardly. She reached up and clicked her tongue.
“I know you have contacts.”
“Listen, Gou, this is a terrible idea,” Makoto whimpered weakly, but she was ready with her practiced rebuttal of, “It’s Halloween, Makoto! And you know who will be at this party, right?”Series

Summary
The boy in front of him, well really, the man in front of him, was like something out of a confusing wet dream. Built, tall, tan and muscular, his skin glistened with sweat after a long day of working outdoors with his hands. He was wearing a cut up old American football shirt, the bottom hem was torn and the sleeves were cut off to the point where the t-shirt was really just a loose tank top. The shorts he had on had clearly been full length jeans at one point, and were now just crudely cut off above the knee. His white socks were pulled up too high on his calves, and the brown work boots he had on were old as fuck, the leather peeling along the edges of the soles. Curly brown hair stuck out from the edges of his backwards snapback, and there was a smudge of grease wiped along his brow bone. The smattering of hair along his jaw proved that he hadn’t shaved in a week or two, the hair growing in thicker across his upper lip and around his chin. His sinfully bowed mouth was pink and plump, and Louis was suddenly hyper-focused on the way that he chewed at the toothpick stuck between his lips. He looked like he needed a shower. Louis wanted to lick him.
Or, the TPH fic we’ve all been waiting for.

Summary
Louis had worked in the infamous resort placed in the median point of all worlds for longer than he could remember. He went through everyday with a soul-crushing emptiness filling his mind, going through the same routine over and over again. Despite all the happenings around him, his soul never wavered, his emotions stayed superficial, and nothing took his breath away anymore.
Nothing, except the intoxicating smell of lavender and the contemplating green eyes that came along for the ride every now and again. His heart always seemed to wake up full force whenever those pretty lips formed around even prettier, yet empty promises, and he felt the magic sizzle in his bones again only when contact was made between the divine body and his own deceivingly normal one. He hated it for the fact he really didn’t.
Or : A Spirited Away AU of sorts where Louis just wants to heal and be left alone, only for all his plans to be destroyed by the hands of an infuriating British God.

Summary
Louis is on tour when he first hears about it. It’s all over the news – Harry Styles Attacked By Fan runs in headlines for days. It’s not even just the gossip rags, either. Actual journalists are covering the story. It would have been impossible to avoid hearing about it. Technically, Oli is the one who tells Louis about it, but it’s not exactly being covered up. Harry doesn’t answer Louis’ text asking if he’s alright, but that’s not really surprising. They haven’t spoken for months, and it’s been a lot longer than that since they’ve had a real conversation. The sting of the text going unanswered is still there, less painful than it might have been a few years ago.
It’s not that it’s easy to forget about, exactly. Louis has a whole life outside of One Direction now, though. So Louis goes on with his life, figuring that if Harry was seriously hurt he would have heard about it by now. He might currently be in the same country as Harry, but being on opposite sides of it puts enough distance between them that putting it in the back of his mind is easy. There’s nothing Louis could do, even if he thought Harry might want him to.
That’s why everything that happens next comes as a complete shock to him.
