21: Titanium

2016-06-20T02:51:11Z

Title: Titanium
Rating: R
Length: 24462
Summary: Luhan is an enigma, but Minseok has secrets of his own.
Warnings: blood, violence, minor character death. There are some scenes that may resemble a panic attack.

( “Hello baby,” Luhan croons over the system, “I’ve missed you.” )

168: The Politics of Personal Destruction

2016-06-20T02:51:01Z

Title: The Politics of Personal Destruction
Rating: NC-17
Length: 14300
Summary: Minseok’s first attempt at a one-night stand fails spectacularly. Or succeeds, depending on how you look at it.
Notes: The prompt was too golden to scroll past—thank you to the prompter for letting me have some good old smutty fun with the OTP ;) Kudos to anyone who can spot my small, sporadic pop culture references. Huge thanks to the mods for being so very patient with me.

( There is a mouth attached to his neck and sucking marks into his skin. )

59: 365, Say 520

2016-06-19T03:03:16Z

Title: 365, Say 520
Rating: NC-17
Length: 12,822 words
Summary: Minseok is rushing to the airport. It’s only the next day he realises the phone in his hand is not his.
Notes: I tried to stay as close to the prompt as possible but, hey, prompter, hope you like it. {Timings are important to the plot? And, the names of the senders used depend on the relationship the two people share} Also, the title of the fic is based partly on an EXO song and one of Luhan’s weibo posts.

( ï»¿Minseok is staring at the phone’s screen in disbelief. )

136: The Fault in Our Starboard

2016-06-18T02:25:00Z

Title: The Fault in Our Starboard
Rating: NC-17
Length: 33,315 words
Summary: Minseok has little enthusiasm towards being a boat captain for hire. His lack of excitement towards the profession falters when he is tasked with ferrying a certain rich kid and his friends around the Maldives during winter break.
Warnings: Mentions of a panic disorder, mentions of homophobia, strong language, uninformed references to K-On!
Notes: A million thanks to R for being my sounding board, editor, and keeping me sane (seriously thank you). A huge thanks to C for beta-ing and giving plot feedback! Thank you to L for giving this a read through in the early stages. Kudos to the original prompter for giving me such an amazing concept to work with! If you are curious about the type of boat featured in this fic, it is the Lazzara Skylounge 80.

( “Seriously, Yixing, I think I am in love,” he whispered. )

Title: Second Chances
Rating: PG-13
Length: 11.487 words
Summary: Luhan is tired with all the superficial relationships he had so far. People only approach him for his money. Now he has a plan, he will pretend to be poor and see if he can steal someone's heart.
Notes: I had this au idea in my mind for a long time and finally got the chance of writing it. I hope it reached the prompter's expectations. Also i would like to thank my proof reader and my beta for helping and supporting me!

( All Luhan dreamed about was to be able to wake up feeling someone else next to him, sleeping, breathing. )

Warnings: homophobia and slight social anxiety
Notes: i really liked this prompt and i tried to make it as good as i could, but i wish i'd had more time to work on it. i hope it's still to your liking, dear recipient!

( Do you like music? )

173: Tangled Troubles

2016-06-15T02:52:35Z

Title: Tangled Troubles
Rating: PG-13
Length: 22150
Summary: Luhan always thinks too much, but he never thought he’d fall for Minseok.
Warnings: broken!chanlu (infidelity), side!baekchen (if you squint)
Notes: Everything is implied, hence the rating. This wasn’t supposed to be this long though omg. This was pretty hard to write for me hope whoever enjoy it though. Apologies and Thanks in advance. Bordering Luhan-centric I think. P.S. Thank you to A for helping me through this.

( Sneezing in the middle of lashings out is just plain ridiculous. Luhan rubs his face roughly and ruffles his hair in frustration. )

comments

216: la tímida aurora de tus células

2015-06-21T14:51:45Z

Title:la tímida aurora de tus células
Rating: NC-17
Length: 20060
Summary: it's a fleeting flashing ray of light, a magnificent coincidence.
Warnings: sex, character experiencing panic attack, character losing consciousness, instance where character is hurt (mild), alcohol use, inaccurate information about astronomy and space travel
Notes: credit title to zoe's 'la via láctea'. a million thank yous to my beta fairy. i probably deviated from intended prompt, but i hope you can enjoy. heavily inspired by this. please listen to this too.

( They’re both meeting in a head first sort of collision. A real cosmic wonder. )

177: U (All I Want Is You)

2015-06-21T14:50:18Z

Title: U (All I Want Is You)
Rating: NC-17
Length: 15,105
Summary: A sweet story about a couple who believes that love never dies after marriage. The longer they are together, the more they’ll come to appreciate the things they look forward to together.
Warnings: mpreg, pregnancy!kink, vexatious pregnancy symptoms, mood swings, surgical incision, and slight mention of bullying.
Notes: To E and A for cheering me on. I made it! To M for always checking my progress and encouraging me to write. Paljon kiitoksia! To my angels R and C for helping me salvage this fic. Thank you. I owe you both a lot. Kudos!

( “Are you thinking what I am thinking?” )

160: Lie To Me

2015-06-20T14:15:35Z

Title: Lie to Me
Rating: PG-13
Length: 27,271 words
Summary: Luhan lies. Minseok wants to know why.
Warnings: Swearing, mentions of mental illness, mention of group members leaving.
Notes: This is a non-AU fic and a lot of liberties were taken with this story. Please keep this in mind while reading. In no way was I attempting to 100% accurately reflect Exo's personalities/history as much as I wanted to tell an interesting and compelling story. Hopefully I did just that.

( Minseok turned the pages of the journal, his fingers tracing the hastily written words, feeling nostalgia as he felt the leather cover of the small book. )

comments

98: Soul Searching

2015-06-18T14:50:17Z

Title: Soul Searching
Rating: PG
Length: 14,648 words
Summary: Minseok's original goal was to finish his thesis, not to fall in love with a faerie prince.
Notes: This somehow turned into a semi Minseok-centric fic instead of Luhan-centric fic.. I apologize for changing some aspects to (how I understood) the original prompt!

( If Minseok was given a choice as to where he would want to spend his life when he grows old, Wuyuan would be a top choice. )

comments

93: A Different Kind of Falling

2015-06-18T14:49:45Z

Title: A Different Kind of Falling
Rating: NC-17
Length: 11150
Summary: They fall in love, and fall apart, and try to go back where they were before the fallout.
Warnings:
Notes: thanks to R and R for beta-ing!!! <3

( Minseok hears a loud ring—once, twice, and then a click )

86: It's Always Like This

2015-06-18T14:49:08Z

Title: It's Always Like This
Rating: NC-17/R
Length: 27,649 words
Summary: Three years have passed since Luhan had Minseok taken away from him by cruel fate, and three years have led to him falling into a state of despair unlike any other. But as a letter seemingly from beyond the grave draws him to the fog-laden town of Silent Hill, he finds himself torn apart inside. Where monsters lurk and a familiar face haunts him in a new life, that is their "special place"...where Minseok waits to see him again...
Warnings: MAJOR WARNING (INVOLVES SPOILERS): This is a psychological warning relating to story elements in the Silent Hill 2 universe, and as a result, this story. For those who understand the SH2 plot, I have done my best to try and tone down the graphic nature without compromising on story quality, so I hope I haven’t done too badly; if there is anything I could have improved on, I would be grateful to hear it. For those who aren’t familiar with SH2, PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT THERE WILL BE SENSITIVE MATERIAL AHEAD. Please DO NOT READ this story if you may be sensitive or triggered by situations that involve vague insinuations of the following: self-harm, depression, suicide, hinted sexual violence/molestation, hinted child endangerment, violence/gore, terminal illness and other possible hints towards mental illnesses. Please look into content/parental advisories for further information and what you could prepare for if you feel the need to do so (I have cut out most of the graphic material, so not everything listed will make an appearance). Thank you.
Notes: Bonus points to whoever spots the ZP references. Thank God for TBFP's playthrough but there is slight diversion ahead too. And a cookie for whoever sends me an oxygen tank because this nearly knocked me out for the count.

( “I really shouldn't be here.” )

70: If You’re Wondering If I Want You To (I Want You To)

2015-06-17T15:17:50Z

Title: If You’re Wondering If I Want You To (I Want You To)
Rating: PG-13
Length: 32k+
Summary: Kim Minseok’s senior year of high school can be summarized by his best friend being an asshole, an introduction to Hong Kong cinema, his crippling fear of the future, a van named Sandara, and the annoying little wrinkles that form around Luhan's eyes when he smiles. Prom!AU.
Warnings: very, very brief mention of thoughts of suicide, implied sexual situations, awkward mix of Korean and American high schools. side!Baekhyun/Chanyeol; slight!Joonmyun/Jongdae and Kris/Yixing.
Notes: this was supposed to be just a short, sweet little prom fic, but one look at the word count will tell you that obviously did not happen. thank you to my prompter for the qt prompt and i hope it’s to your liking even if i went way, way off course. extra thank you’s to the mods who were so gracious with my extension and understanding of my situation. and an extra extra big thank you to my jagiya who read over this more times than she probably wanted to. the gratuitous chanbaek throughout this is entirely her fault.♡

( It starts out simple enough; a harmless slip of paper. )

64: My New Fire, You Oughtta Come to Light Me

2015-06-17T14:45:41Z

Title: My New Fire, You Oughtta Come to Light Me
Rating: NC-17
Length: 12.2k
Summary: And Minseok has whirlwinds swirling in his mind after every casual touch. Words, so many fucking words blooming every time they speak, look, are—together
Warnings: side pairings taohun, chansoo, and suchen, past lu han/jaehyo, kris mention, rimming, “come on me”
Notes: title from tokimonsta’s “realla,” this is a somewhat liberal interpretation of the prompt because lu han caught feelings

( Lu Han's last draft had been returned lined heavily in red ink. Hand-delivered, heavy, portfolio-bound, too. )

comments

46: It's obvious, isn't it?

2015-06-17T14:40:40Z

Title: It's obvious, isn't it?
Rating: NC-17
Length: 14567 words
Summary: Hopelessly stuck in the friend zone, Luhan tries his hardest to be the best kind of best friend ...even if that means finding a new boyfriend for his best friend and personal dream guy, Minseok.
Warnings: Sexy times, some drinking, some foul language, general dumbness, everybody is gay
Notes: To the prompter: Thank you so much for the cute prompt! I hope this is even remotely close to what you were thinking of. I would've loved to work on this more and I really wish I either had more time for writing fics or were able to stay within the 7,000 word limit I originally set for myself for this fic. ^^;; Forgive me for the fail!humor~ I blame EXO Next Door for the extreme level of denseness in this fic. :D Also, big thanks to my dear friend Miko, who taught me all about baozi, beta read this fic for me and listened to the many fic related woes I had while writing this.

( It's already Manchester United's third goal against Bayern M�nchen's one but only Luhan jumps up from the sofa to cheer. )

35: Tabula Rasa

2015-06-17T14:31:46Z

Title: Tabula Rasa
Rating: PG-13
Length: 10524 words
Summary: Luhan is the first and last thing that Minseok wants to remember.
Warnings: N/A
Notes: I wrote Tabula Rasa before I watched the movie since I’m very easily influenced, so this fic is inspired solely by your lovely prompt. Huge shoutout to my understanding betas, angels I, S, and J.

( The end begins on a Wednesday. )

14: Integrative Motivation

2015-06-16T14:24:21Z

Title: Integrative Motivation
Rating: NC-17
Length: 10,525 words
Summary: Lu Han is failing calculus and his tutor has the cutest face and also abs. Life is unfair.
Warnings: none
Notes: Many thanks to J, to whoever provided this fun prompt, and to Minseok for his well-timed stripping.

( “I just wanted to tell—I mean, to ask you—well, for you to know that...I'd-kind-of-like-to-go-out-as-not-just-friends.” )

5: These Inconvienent Fireworks

2015-06-16T14:19:41Z

Title: These Inconvenient Fireworks
Rating: NC-17
Length: 14180 words
Summary: When Chief Kim Minseok saves a man from a burning building one day, he doesn't expect to meet him again, until he starts receiving a number of gifts from the same man - which leads to a whole lot of sassy subordinates, cat-eared mugs and hypothetical questions that force Minseok to face his own insecurities in order to figure out his own happiness.
Warnings: Lots of alcohol, intoxication, sex, rimming
Notes: The details here are a mix of how fire stations are run in the States and in South Korea. Some facts have been embellished for this story. Includes Bff!Dongwoo, side-pairing Tao/Baekhyun.

( The call comes in around 8:07 a.m., just as Minseok’s sipping his first cup of coffee of the day. )
