Summary:

Despite Slytherin's association with cowards, Han Jisung has never been one of them.

That includes completing a dare on a night that Jisung and his best friends have been drinking a little too much. He has to sneak into the Ravenclaw Tower and steal a piece of clothing from the Hogwarts' heartthrob and the Quidditch captain - Lee Minho. It also includes having to wear it through the next day and Jisung is not the one to back off.

So the next day, he marches into the Great Hall wearing Minho's Quidditch hoodie with his Hufflepuff friend giggling by his side. Jisung can see Minho smirk at him, but it's safe to say he's confused. He walks by and says, "What's up, Lee?" and maybe it is then that Minho realizes there's more to school than just Quidditch and studies.

The pretty Slytherin, Han Jisung included.

Note: There are discussions of parental pressure in this fic!

Summary:

It was strange to him.

He was an actor after all. Whether he memorized lines or played it up on the spot, there was always something for him to say as long as there was a pretty lady beside him or a camera in his face.

Because the story they played was meant to go one way and one way only: He was the love interest. The one with the hair that looked good no matter the way it was styled. The CEO. The one in the soft trench coat that looked as if it was made for cuddling.

And yet here he was, the pining idiot and completely head over heels. He doesn't know how to respond to whatever is being asked of him and yet he's completely content with listening to the boy sitting beside him rattle on and on with a voice that was raw from the cold yet so beautiful to hear. He's dressed in a sweater that he had worn the day before, and he was beautiful.

It was strange to him.

But it was exhilarating at the same time.

(Alternatively: Hyunjin, while searching for a miracle in his acting career, runs into a brown haired boy that makes him think of shooting stars)

Note: depictions of using alcohol as a coping mechanism ((not quite an addiction though... that would be up to interpretation))

also light spoiler for next warning:

depictions of schizophrenia and toxic relations ((not within main characters/ dynamics))

Summary:

There’s a basketball court three blocks away from the apartment complex Jisung lives in, and he’s been spending all of his Sundays there since elementary school. Everyone on the block knows about him and he takes his reputation seriously. On one of those weekend days, he finds someone there he has never seen before. Although they start as friends, they turn out to be on rival teams.

Summary:

“Nice to meet you, Changbin,” the boy’s voice gets louder than whisper for the first time, as he peaks out even more. “And happy birthday,” small smile graces his lips as he says that, titling his head to the side cutely.

Usually that phrase makes Changbin's guts twist and blood boil, not in a good way, rather evoking anxious and desperate feelings. But the boy’s voice seems so sincere, and his eyes hold so much kindness in them that Changbin can’t help but melt, not even resisting the same kind of smile appearing on his lips. “Thank you,” he replies and it’s the first time in a few years when he’s sincerely grateful for a birthday congratulations.

Little fic I found about Changbin’s birthday, that I’m sharing on his birthday. I hope you enjoy it, it’s really cute 💕

Tags: angst, hurt/comfort, slowburn, fluff, coffee shop au, hate to friends to lovers

Summary:

“Did you ever stop to think that maybe all this aggression is just, like, pent-up sexual frustration or something?”

Jisung looked horrified. “Oh my god, no!”

Felix looked unconvinced. “You were the one who drew the chilli pepper next to Number 27 in the customer codebook-”

“I add peppers next to all the cute patrons,” Jisung crossed his arms, indignant. “But that was before I found out he was a nosy person with no concept of privacy. His pepper is hereby revoked.”

✩ ✩ ✩

Or; the one where Hyunjin is an art student working on his MFA, struggling with a creative block. When he stumbles across a mysterious notebook that gives him new inspiration, his world is turned upside down by an aspiring musician with a mysterious past. Jisung promised himself he would never open up again, but something about the boy with paint stains on his jeans makes him think that there could be more to life than working in a coffee shop. Sometimes the only way to move on from pain is to love, and the only way to find true art is to create it with someone new.

Note: Past abusive relationship

Summary:

“Would you like to try? Kissing, I mean.” A voice in the back of his head was screaming at him to change the topic, to maneuver away from the dangerous area, but he couldn’t listen.

“I wouldn’t mind it, there just isn’t anyone I would like to try it with.” The unsettling feeling was in his head now, fogging up any rational thoughts and forcing him to answer the first things that stumbled out of his mouth.

“Try it with me.”

Jeongin learns that "platonically" kissing your best friend and crush was not the best thing to do for the sake of your sanity. Cliché, but give it a shot.

Status: Complete

Summary:

To make a long story short, Changbin was tired of Minho making so many videos, not because the videos were annoying, but because there were way too many sweet things lying around the house to tempt him, and it wasn't fair. He makes Minho promise to start exercising again and gives him the link to a youtuber who he thinks can help Minho, and that's the end of it.

At least, for Changbin it is. Minho ends up watching Chan's videos and developing a slight(ly large) crush on the other youtuber, so imagine how surprised he is when Chan posts a video of him following along with one of Minho's baking tutorials.

Summary:

It's during the summer of 1987 when Hyunjin is shuttled away from the drama of his parents' rocky relationship to spend his final summer break out west with his reclusive aunt in the town of Penn, Oregon, where time stretches as long and sweet as saltwater taffy.

There's something a little strange about Penn. Maybe it's something in the water, or something woven deep into the foundation of the town itself, but Hyunjin is determined to find out exactly what is going on before summer ends.

Note: Graphic violence is depicted along with some images that may be disturbing to some

Summary:

Minho's parents thought a change of scenery would be good for him, though he's not too sure. Minho expects to be counting down the days until summer ends and he can go back to a life where nothing happens, and he can fade into the background once more.

Little does he know that the island is full of secrets, potential new friends, an (admittedly talented) garage band, and a pretty surfer that Minho just can't seem to shake off, no matter how hard he tries.

They're complete opposites, that doesn't mean they can't fall in love. Plus, Changbin isn't as intimidating as he looks, so it's no surprise when Felix falls head over heels.

Summary:

Changbin walks into college knowing three things:

1) He’s never had a soulmate.

2) He’s here at Seoul University to become an artist. 

3) He misses his best friend, but that’s okay. He’ll manage.

By December, the list is fundamentally the same, with one addendum-- he’s never had a soulmate, but he can’t seem to get Lee Felix, the energetic violinist next door, out of his mind.

Seungmin nods jerkily, “Yeah.”
