    Summary

    Jisung’s not particularly good at self control. His heart—it tends to run wild. Untethered. Unbothered, with the way Jisung’s logic doesn’t match up with what it wants. When Jisung loves, he does it hard. It flows from him like magic, permeating everything he touches.

    Holding himself back feels unnatural—painful, even, but it’s necessary.

     

    Or: The stars have declared that in every universe, Han Jisung and Lee Minho are soulmates. And in every universe, Han Jisung just needs a little push and a little promise that sometimes, it's alright to be selfish.

    Summary

    Minho was never born to be king; he was second in line to the throne, behind his older brother, Eunwoo. He never minded, knowing he could never rule as well as his brother. He didn't understand the hierarchical laws that kept him isolated from the other children in the palace or why he was forced to attend king lessons, constantly reminded of his duties to his country when he would never rule.

    He was royalty, expected to uphold the laws of the land. But what happens when he meets Jisung, the garden boy he is forbidden to fall in love with?

    Summary

    “Jisung-ssi,” Minho breathes, voice barely audible over the weight of the world pushing down on him. “I know this sounds crazy, but do you believe in fate?”

    Jisung smiles and it’s genuine. “No. But you do.”

    Minho snorts and sits back in his chair, surprised at the certainty in which Jisung speaks. “I think you’re pushing your luck.”

    “I don’t think it’s luck.”

    “So it is fate,” Minho teases, cocking his head. He picks up his notepad and takes his pen out from behind his ear, underlining the word ‘romantic’ with two tight lines.

    “No,” Jisung says again, big eyes turning sad. “I think things just happen. Even when they’re not supposed to.”

    (OR: Minho and Jisung find each other in every life, even when the universe doesn't want them to. It does everything to stop them and they do everything to keep going.)

    this is it, this is the end... there is nothing more beyond this

    nothing and I mean nothing ever written will be able to encompass pure and beautiful love as this work does
    they are truly soulmates in every universe and lifetime and I can do nothing but hope their souls never have to part ever again

    I read this on a day of pure depression and not a single line in this fic allowed me a respite from my tears but I am also at fault for my mood walking in so as it turns out I am the architect of my own hell

    Summary

    “My father loved me because I am the son of his favored concubine. My brother loves me because he feels guilty that I was the one hurt when someone mistakenly tried to kill me instead of him, and you, Jeongin,” Jisung said, words bitter on his tongue.

    Jeongin kept staring at him, his eyes keeping secrets Jisung would never be able to unravel.

    “You love me out of duty. Nothing else.”

    Or, Jisung has always known his life was not his own. As a prince, he belongs to his country, but he yearns to belong to Jeongin, who should be his soulmate but unfairly isn't.

    Summary

    Felix wished he would have paid closer attention to the sirens - would have looked out the window a lot sooner than he did. Maybe if he had, things would have turned out differently for him. Maybe he would have been able to save more people, or would have been able to escape the apartment altogether.

    But he didn't. He stayed and suffered and almost paid the ultimate price.

    But it was because stayed that they eventually found him. It was because he stayed that he could finally heal.

    --OR--

    Felix is stuck in the middle of the apocalypse with an abusive roommate. He eventually is found by a group of survivors that help him heal his scars left behind by months upon months of torture. He finds a home worth protecting and promises to better himself to save everything he has come to love.
