Summary
“You’re dead, Lin Ling!” Miss J shouts, and Lin Ling cowers, sinking deeper into the couch. She shows him the fake article, an image of a dead office worker with eyes that are all too familiar. Sunken eyes. Empty ones. “You’re dead and you can’t go back anymore.”
It was true.
(or, Lin Ling on the subject of doctoring a ghost back to life with your own flesh.)

Summary
Lira and Ayn’s bakery schemes always converge in the end. Though, nobody said that was a bad thing.

Summary
Wemmbu doesn’t know who says it or how the sentence finds its way into his head, but it’s there, and he doesn’t know what to reply with, where to turn, or how to pretend like it doesn’t ring in his ears like a shattering drum.
(or, fear, and pretending like you're without it.)

Summary
Hyunjin is Minho’s younger brother. He always will be. Life and abandonment laid out for them a silk-and-lace table and they both sit down, ready to be fed by Minho’s angel mother. Gentle fingers below their chins. They could eat as much as they want, whenever they want. Minho always offers his plate even when Hyunjin’s is still half-full.
(or, family.)

Summary
Minho cranes his neck up over the edge of the comforter. In the dim lighting and amidst the faint sound of their show still playing from Jisung's phone, Seungmin stands in the doorway, the screen of his laptop harshly illuminating his face, one foot already inside.
“What?”
“I need help."
(or, Seungmin doesn't know how to complete an assignment. That's it. That's the whole work.)

the lotus (endurance, endurance, endurance) by acrawlingdove
Fandoms: Stray Kids (Band), ITZY (Band)

Tags
Summary
It was like Minho's mind was torn apart by sharp claws and a radioactive tongue. He felt Yeji's memories shoot through his vision like a flashbang when she died. But only one has stuck around long enough to haunt him, and it’s the last one, where she’s frantically realizing that she needs to make sure her co-pilot survives this attack.
(or, Minho has always held love tight to his chest, keeping it safe, but then he learns how to move on.)

shoulders (and all this devotion was rushing out of me) by plume (acrawlingdove)

Summary
Leo shakes his head. “But Parrot’s disposition is different,” he says. “He’s quiet and thoughtful, but headstrong at the same time. What if he spirals?”
“He already is,” Jumper interjects, wiping notes off the whiteboard.
“Reassuring.”
Nufuli nods. He gets up to assist her with the words too high to reach, continuing as he does. “She might be right. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with you, but the guy does sprint like a rabbit whenever he sees you enter the room.”
(or, Parrot learns that it’s okay to rely on other people. It takes a while, but thanks to Leo—and the rest of BAT’s—continuous efforts to worm themselves into his heart, he gets there.)

Summary
Minute was one out of twenty diamond-trimmed players. He was a soldier trained to kill, and a pair of hands that took orders.
He was a warning, and a premonition.
He was the eye of the storm, and the winds which destroy.
He was glass and starlight, rock and metal.
And now he is shattered.
(or, Minute has a moment. Conveniently, Spoke has one at the same time. They talk.)
-
Tags
Summary
Maybe something was there. Maybe Spoke was reading into it too much. Maybe he was being perceptive and logical, or stupid and hopeful. It was honestly hard to tell.
(or, an introspection between people who don’t know if they’re enemies or friends.)

Summary
Minho yelps the moment he spots them.
“What are—How did you get into my house? Are those cats?”
“Kittens,” Hyunjin corrects, which still does not explain how he got into the apartment.
“Three of them, specifically,” says Jisung. He’s sitting on the couch, two of them in his arms and one meowing playfully on the top of his head. Minho fights with himself, because the kittens really are cute, but he can't admit that to these two and subsequently permit their act of breaking-and-entering. “We got them for you as a gift. You know, because you're sad?”
“I am not sad.”
For reference, Minho is not a very good liar.
(or, Minho’s journey away from depression through seven good friends, three cats, and one trip to the lake.)

A new fairy arrives in the Haven.

i have seafoam in my veins, i understand the language of waves by acrawlingdove
Fandoms: Stray Kids (Band)

Summary
Thankfully, Hyunjin has one more card to play—one he's been withholding up until now, the perfect moment. Underneath Jisung's impatient sneer and Changbin's hopeful look that he still might be able to hold his ground, he glances around to make sure nobody else is within listening distance before whispering so quietly that he could've been talking taboo.
“I can take you to Atlantis.”
Chan snaps up like a dog who's seen its favorite toy, and if he had a tail, it'd be wagging like there was no tomorrow.

Summary
"Chan, run."
Blinding red alarms bathe the hallway they're in. The unmistakable sound of yelling and armed footsteps coming from behind only makes Minho want to shove Chan off to get him to actually listen.
Chan viciously shakes his head. "No! No, I'm not leaving without you, please get up, we can fix—"
"My legs are already broken," Minho hisses, trying his best to keep the agony from rising to his voice. He needs to be strong. Confident. Chan can't see him weak. His pride won't allow it. "You'll listen to me this one time, got it, and you'll run."
[ABANDONED]

Summary
“Chan,” someone says from further up the hall, where the chandelier lights fade into thin candlelight. Chan squints to see who it is.
“Minho!”
He runs to Minho and pulls him into a hug, and the latter laughs into his shoulder and pats his back. They stay like that for a moment until Chan pulls away and—while holding his shoulders—begins to look him over. Every inch of him is covered in precious gems and fine fabric, every inch of him is stunning for the cameras.
Every inch, a lie.

Summary
“Would you have gone, then? If you were forced to?”
Minho approaches, and places a hand on Changbin's shoulder the way he always does when he knows something is going unsaid. “To keep the rest of you safe, I would've. But I wouldn't have taken any lives, or even picked up a weapon. My conscience wouldn't allow it.” He pauses. “Why do you still worry?”
“I'm not.”
“Then?”
Changbin pulls his shoulder closer to his torso, trying to escape Minho's touch. “I miss him.”

Summary
“Your ship,” Seungmin redirects. “What's its name?”
“The Asylum.”
“Like for crazy people?”
The corner of Minho's lip turns up. “Fun play on meaning? No, like protection from enemies. Every person on the crew is somebody we've saved from a bad place or bad people. We saved Hyunjin from where he'd been left for dead on that beach, and we saved Yongbok from being executed for a crime he was framed for. All that stuff. Asylum, as in sanctuary.”
He pauses.
“As in home.”

Summary
“He comes from seven thousand levels below,” Jisung replies, dumping his helmet out of cement pebbles, and ignoring the way Felix is now gawking at him.
“That's impossible! Not even—Nobody has ever even gone to the floor below or above us, what do you mean he's from seven thousand levels—”
“I want to know too. He and Chan are probably talking about it right now.”
(or, Jisung’s village is going to either starve sitting idle or die to the dangers right outside the perimeter, but the appearance of a total stranger—an unbelievable sight given the fact wanderers can't survive on their own—and a dead scientist will change all of that.)
