Summary
“Let me worship you,” Naruto breathed.
For one long moment, Naruto’s eyes reflected the continuous, lazy rotation of pinwheels. Red against blue. Fate within the unknown. Silence and anticipation. But then the pinwheels faded to black, and Sasuke uttered a phrase that would seal their connection forever.
“Are you offering yourself?”

Summary
The passage of time tends to dull things in Mark’s head. He hardly remembers the summers he spent roaming the palace gardens. Time had run fast back then, in the way life does when you are young and unhindered. But Mark sees the sharp slant of his smile and knows in his gut that it’s a smile he’s seen many times before. Peaking around the hedges and through the fringe of the sun. It’s a smile he knows well, but also not at all.
Or Mark becomes the royal tutor for the youngest prince, Jisung. Over the years, he falls into a humble routine. He teaches Jisung, presses flowers for his mother, and spends his evenings in the gardens. It’s all very simple, until it’s not.

Summary
Kissing him. Touching him. Bathing him. This isn't a royal guard's job, Donghyuck reminds himself as the tips of his hair soak into the water. His eyes lift until they meet Renjun's, the boy who seems as though he is made of every pure flower on earth, like he's a garden Donghyuck has known and has seen growing vivaciously for the past few months.
"Join me?" Donghyuck drifts his eyes until they are pointing to the opposite side of the bath.
Renjun's lips part, silent sounds of amazement rolling out.
"You want me to join you?" Renjun's whisper is loud.
Donghyuck swallows hard before he finds the courage to say, "I'd like to ask you how you snuck into my Kingdom, so yes, please join me in the bath."

Summary
Donghyuck wonders if Renjun feels it too. He wonders if he's plagued by dreams and memories of things that couldn't have happened and yet he's sure have. He wonders if Renjun remembers the way they kissed before—wherever, whenever that was. It's still hazy, very much so, but Donghyuck understands better now.
He wonders if Renjun is drawn to him too without knowing why.
Or maybe he's telling the truth. He doesn't want Donghyuck.
Maybe there's no happy ending here either.

Summary
<archived atm>
“Wait, let me get this straight,” Johnny begins, chuckles already spilling out, barely able to hold back his laughter. “You’re telling me that you have to hold hands with Lee Donghyuck for your magic to work?”
(Mark thinks that sharing a dorm with his worst enemy would probably be difficult enough without his magic deciding that said enemy is also his soulmate.)

Summary
Word of prince Donghyuck’s beauty reached even the farthest parts of the kingdom, so far that Mark’s companions sometimes whispered of it under the crescent moon. The bare mention of the prince’s name brought men to their knees, wars promised to be waged over who will court him. He made gods angry for outstanding them in their grace.
And now Mark, an outlaw without a jeweled crown or throne, will make him bow and break under his feet.
//or alternatively: a kingdom au where prince donghyuck falls in hands of mark, a desert outlaw, who’s determined to keep donghyuck for himself even after the battle is over

Summary
“There’s a situation,” Mark tells Jaemin over the phone.
“Did you fall down the stairs again?” Jaemin asks.
“No,” Mark says, and glances over at Donghyuck. “It’s—well, there’s a zombie, for one—”
“A what—”
“And, uh, in my previous life, we dated,” Mark continues. “Apparently.”
There’s silence on the other end of the phone.
“For the record,” Donghyuck points out, “I’m not a zombie.”(or: donghyuck hops out casket-fresh, and mark starts to believe, just a little, in soulmates.)

Summary
“You took one of my flowers.” His voice is soft, fingers tracing the edge of a petal. “You cannot go back. You belong t-”
His fingers still, and a look passes over his face. Donghyuck can’t place that look.
Mark gently curls Donghyuck’s fingers over the flower again. “You belong here now,” he says, gaze finally resting back on Donghyuck’s face and it’s kind.
