    Summary

    The person standing slack-jawed, sweaty, eight-years-more-handsome in the doorway of Mu Qing’s new home was none other than the piece-of-shit idiot dog who had broken Mu Qing’s young heart without even trying, Feng Xin.

    “Fuck,” the idiot spoke first, catching Mu Qing while he was still trying to unstick his paralyzed feet from the pavement. “Mu Qing.”

    Mu Qing is a successful fashion design and DIY YouTuber whose two younger siblings have left the nest. He's invited back to L.A. by his friend Xie Lian eight years after dropping out of college to take care of his siblings and dying mother. What he doesn't expect is to be reunited (against his will) with his old college roommate, Feng Xin.

    Summary

    “Nice couple,” Mingi says, noncommittally, “I haven’t seen them in a few years though. Seems like they started renting at both the best and worst time.”

    Yeosang leans on the counter again, intrigued.

    “How so?” He asks.

    “The first few years your grandparents probably made a lot of money. The town was flourishing, and tourism was at its height. They got a few good years in, then within the last, like, year and a half, things took a turn for the worse. People started leaving their vacations early. They started avoiding coming into town if they booked a trip, then things, awful things, started showing up at the edge of the lake. Dead things. Fish and other animals rotting on the shore. That’s what you smell. Boats turned up crushed and with major damage too. People hear things. A deep, sad sound like an animal that’s lost or wounded,” Mingi says. "It’s not good for business, having something in the lake.”

    ----

    Yeosang agrees to spend the summer at his grandparents' lake house. But things become complicated by something skulking in the lake.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    I don’t think I’ve ever become as obsessed with a fic so quickly as this one and I’ve never even read this pairing before and now I’m hooked on that as well

    Summary

    Rosekiller-centric high school AU with Evan silently pining for Barty who doesn't even know his name. Unless...?

    or,

    "Sorry, what was I saying?”

    “You had no idea what you were saying because Pretty Boy walked by and you lost the ability to function like a normal human being.”

    “I have no idea what you are talking about,”

    “Yes, you do.”

    “I hate you both.”

    “Sure, you do. You hate us about as much as you hate Pretty Boy over there...”

    Summary

    But Barty thinks, and we don’t need to go into the reasoning for why his mind is suddenly thinking such things as Evan lets go of his hand and sits next to him, that they would not be a star and the moon.

    The two idiots cooing at one another across the way have that covered—great.

    He’s pretty sure he heard Sirius comparing James to the sun the other weekend, pissed off vodka cranberries, and crying. So that’s taken as well. Barty is running out of metaphors as Evan sits and bumps his hip with his own, getting him to scoot further over in his chair.

    Both of them are sitting on one side of the table now. Evan takes a cherry between his teeth, bites it from the stem, and flicks the stem onto the table. It lands right next to Barty’s keys and wallet, just touching.

    He looks over and meets Barty’s eye.

    They're not the sun and moon or stars in the night sky; Barty and Evan are both black holes.
