First, the power went out. Second, it was the water. Then, it was the blaring horns that rang throughout the city. The portable radio they used was all static except for the occasional alarming words that no one truly believed because it was April 1st. The warning was there, they had time to make it out, but Seonghwa learned that it was best to listen to his screaming instincts rather than his roommate who told him it was nothing. Because look where his roommate was now. Or: Seonghwa attempts to survive through a zombie apocalypse and meets six loyal men and one cold-hearted and ruthless leader to help keep him company.

"I reckon ye only be mad at me," he started, his eyes closing shut like he knew the prince would bring him no harm. " 'Cause ye 'ave no freedom in yer own life." A simple sentence was all it was really, words compiled together to form a meaning. Sometimes such meanings were in fact meaningless, they held no truth and were only spoken for the sake of aggravation. Though in even rarer times, there was truth rooted in the very ground of the meaning and that was what caused the aggravation. But what would a pirate know? Or: Royal prince Seonghwa who is first in line for the throne, finally meets the recently captured and most feared pirate in all the Seven Seas who has been condemned to death. Every year on the feast on the Ceremony of the Golden Rose, the crown prince is to take a rose dipped in gold to present to one special prisoner as a gift of freedom and a new start at life. This year is like no other, besides the fact that the great pirate king who infuriates Seonghwa to no end might end up shedding a new kind of light on the young and very adventurous prince, changing his views altogether.

Seonghwa is the ever patient death Hongjoong thought it was normal to see him. . . . Start: 5/26/20 End: 6/1/20

As a starving artist newly commissioned with the deep-pocket project of a lifetime, Seonghwa has no intentions of jeopardising his position. Especially not by doing anything as insane and illegal as harbouring an outlawed winged warrior in the storage closet of his apartment. But his bleeding-heart roommates have something else to say about it and an unlucky encounter snowballs into a quest that may not just claim his future, but his very life. It's all San's fault.

Hongjoong, Captain of 6 castaways, is involved with his mates on the piracy of one of the Kingdom's ships. The thing he didn't know was that one of the Princes had infiltrated into his ship. What will Hongjoong do when he finds him on the Captain quarters? Will his crew stay with him or will they convey to the Prince's methods? [An ATEEZ Seongjoong Pirate AU that I've been longing to write for so longgggg]

- [COMPLETED] he looks up, first at the vast cerulean sky, then at the person standing in the distance waving him over, and hardly believes that this is real. "i'm waiting, hongjoong," seonghwa calls out, his smile blinding. "i'm here." so hongjoong gets up and runs through rows of bright yellow flowers, because it's seonghwa that's on the other side. it's seonghwa that pulls him close and kisses him, slow and breathtaking. it's seonghwa that's staring at him through those round brown eyes of his, real and affectionate and overflowing with love. seonghwa feels just like home. ### ( disclaimer: this story is purely fictional and has nothing to do with the members in real life )
