Summary
“Some of you may remember Agent Thirteen from your time as trainees. Real name Na Jaemin, born in Seoul on 13 August 2000, age twenty-two. He had been an operative under the NCT programme for six years when he went off the grid two years ago, presumed to be dead.” Irene pauses, letting the word hang in the air.
“However, some of our informants have spotted Jaemin days ago, in Daegu.” She clicks the remote and the image shifts to a blurry photo of a figure with dark hair under a face mask. Hunched under a thick coat, a hat covering most of his head, the figure shouldn’t be recognisable, and yet. And yet, Jeno could probably recognise Jaemin in his sleep, by sheer gravitational pull. The feeling in his gut says, that’s Jaemin, and that’s all he needs to know. He’s spent too many years honing his instincts not to trust them now.

Summary
“I travel so I may do my duty as a cultivator. Not in order to make acquaintances.”
Wei Wuxian huffs in amusement. “Ehhh, Lan-daozhang, no way. I would’ve thought that a friendly guy like you would have friends in every region!”
Lan Wangji’s jaw clenches.
Or: in the dead of winter, traveling cultivator Lan Wangji gets snowed in at a remote mountain village, falls in love with the chief’s adopted son, and stumbles upon a dark secret that is decades in the making.

Summary
From the prompt: Person A is Person B's guardian angel, but Person B is just an absolute disaster so Person A steps in to help a little more personally.
Hyunjin brushes with death, injury and trauma every day without knowing and Seungmin is tired of trying to prevent it. Having Hyunjin suddenly looking after him instead was not something he ever expected to happen but he can't say he minds the role reversal.

Summary
It's been twenty-two years since the birth of Jung Jaehyun, fifth of the Living Gods. Twenty-two years since he was set in the arms of the old, blind Mother Superior, twenty-two years since his perfect grace and beauty restored her sight.
Constantly covered by a veil and walking in utter silence he is never seen, never heard, never touched. Only his loyal cavalier is allowed past his walls, only the church can dictate how he spends his time. Jaehyun is obedient. Dutiful. Grateful to his people.
Trapped.

Summary
Kissing Chan feels honest. Like he’s never had anything to prove in his entire life and won’t have to ever again. Caught perpetually between languid and urgent, Chan kisses like he’s begging Jisung for something so simple that he doesn’t even know how to ask.
Changbin kisses him and offers a confidence that can be backed up a hundred times, but folds willingly to something sweeter and something softer. A stupid person would think that Changbin doesn’t kiss like a virgin, but that’s just not true. Changbin kisses him like he’s waited a long time, and wants him very much

Summary
“What? I love you. You know that. You love me too. And I’ve known you since I was what? Eighteen? Nineteen? And I’m twenty-five now?”
“What does that have to do with it?” Minho asks. At first he thought he was being rejected, but that’s not really the vibe he’s getting anymore. He’s lost.
“Well, I’ve known you forever. And I’ve always known that I would keep knowing you forever. You and me for life, man. So if we’re going to do this, we should just do it.”
**This has been revised a bit see notes for more detail**

Summary
Here is the thing: Minho broke Jisung's heart two months ago.
Here's another thing: Jisung's parents are celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary – it's a celebration that's been a year in the making.
And here is the clincher: Minho and Jisung bought plane tickets together to South Korea, just for this event, when worthy frequent flyer deals had popped up six months ago, a good long while before their relationship had met it's untimely demise.

Summary
Minho's used to silence. He's used to the way the villagers avoid his eyes when they visit him asking for help, the way they look at him with fear and distrust when they think he can't see. He's used to his world being the sprawling garden within the old ivy-covered iron fence and the familiar warmth of the cottage. He's used to it just being him, his cats, and the old journals.
It isn't until a villager somehow wanders into the garden despite the enchantments that he's faced with how unbearably isolated he's become, or how hard it is to open up to someone after years of being alone— or how freeing it is to know someone understands him.
-
Or, the one where Minho is a lonely village witch and Jisung is a plucky village boy who's determined to befriend him.

Summary
It’s a really unfortunate thing, developing a crush on your husband. Wei Ying had assumed this would be easy. Lan Zhan had been so icy and unpleasant to him, it had never occurred to him that he might end up spending the next however many years with this dumb, burning feeling in his chest whenever he looks at him.
“Okay,” says Wei Ying. “But tell me if I…if the pretending gets to be too hard, okay?”
“It will not,” says Lan Zhan, quietly certain.

Summary
"Tell Lan Zhan that I'm weeping uncontrollably," Wei Wuxian says to the juniors. "Tell him I'm truly pitiful and he needs to do everything I say until I'm well again."
Lan Congyi is in the middle of carefully holding his eyelids open to check his pupils, but he still obeys, bless him. "Hanguang-Jun, Senior Wei would like us to tell you that he can't stop crying and he'd like for you to do everything he says until he's better." There's a moment of silence, and then Lan Congyi says to Wei Wuxian, "Hanguang-Jun says he already does everything you tell him."
--
Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji find themselves cursed, unable to see or hear each other. They figure things out anyway.

Summary
Jaehyun lifts his lips up into a smirk and says, “I suppose you’re right. I’d like to go out with you sometime.”
What Doyoung replies with is: “Oh sorry, I don't date blonds.”
There’s a brief pause of sustained staring as Jaehyun attempts to unravel the complexity of that answer. Running a hand through his straw coloured hair, he tilts his head to the side. “I'm not… a natural blond.”
“Oh yeah, that's obvious,” Doyoung snorts. “I just wanted an excuse on why I didn't want to go out with you without hurting your feelings."or: university takes four years before it's over and it takes Jaehyun and Doyoung four years before it even begins

Summary
"You never do anything to enjoy yourself, so I’m going to continue to make fun of you until you realise that life isn’t entirely about straight edges and neat shelves.”
“Life isn’t about dirty clothes on the floor or marijuana either.”
“I know.” Ten closes his magazine as an old woman enters the store, flashing her his signature, friendly yet suspicious smile. “Getting fucked in the ass and making people question their sexuality is what life is really about, and one day soon you’re gonna realise that.”
The woman turns on her heel and exits the store as swiftly as she had entered, and Ten sends her back a cute little wave. “You have a nice day now, Ma’am!”
“You’re fired,” Doyoung says, mortified for so many different reasons. “You’re so fired this time.”-
OR Doyoung meets Jaehyun and realises that sometimes deviation from routine can be something good.

Summary
He turns to Johnny as he reaches the door, a sad look on his face, but Johnny knows not to be fooled. He’s proven right in the next second as Donghyuck’s expression melts away to arch an eyebrow at Johnny. “You can’t always chase away every boy I pull into bed, you know.”
“I can if they make you late for things,” Johnny grunts, reaching past him to twist the doorknob open.
