Everyone knows dragons went extinct centuries ago, but Hongjoong's father believed they were only hiding and now, with his uncle on a throne that was never his and the kingdom starving because of it, the prince has nothing left but to chase a children's story. What he doesn't expect is an arrow at his throat and that the stranger holding it knew they were never gone at all because they raised him.

Even after staying, Seonghwa felt lonelier than ever before. He had given up everything for Hongjoong. But as the years passed, Hongjoong became consumed by work and the life he had built around it while Seonghwa drifted to the edge. The house that was supposed to become his home never truly belonged to him, and the sacrifices he made haunted him.

Hongjoong wiedział jak wygląda życie na scenie. Wiedział o zakładanych maskach i fałszywych uśmiechach. Nauczył się nie ufać wykreowanym dla oczu fanów sylwetkom. Za każdym razem za idealnością i brakiem wad kryło się coś znacznie więcej. Wiedział to dobrze także i na swoim przykładzie. Seonghwa był taki sam, a jednak inny. !WOLNO PISANE!

One perfect summer in California no pasts, no power, no promises. Just stolen sunsets and the kind of love that feels too real to end. Then Wooyoung goes home.

In the same world, at the same time, both men faced a loss that changed them forever-without knowing their paths were slowly moving toward each other.

One walked away into the blinding, glittering lights, leaving the other completely alone in the quiet dark with a box of undeveloped film and a shattered heart. Years of absolute silence.

Mingi doesn't know what the outside world looks like, but he knows that every five days is another possibility of losing his life. The Funhouse Facility is the only place he and his peers have ever known after waking up, and training to fight each other to the death each week is all they do. When they never know who is going to live or die, building emotional connections is one of the most foolish things they can do; escape is even more so. And yet, the imprisoned youths can't help themselves. Outgoing and empathetic, Mingi's friendly nature and growing infatuation with the unsociable Yunho might break him.

Seonghwa is a siren/merman who can pass as human on land, but the moment water touches his skin, his transformation begins-scales, fins, hauntingly beautiful voice. His younger brother Hyunjin (Stray Kids) is also a siren, and much more wary of humans. Seonghwa, however, chooses to live among them-disguised-aboard a pirate ship crewed by the rest of ATEEZ. Yeosang, Seonghwa's quiet, observant boyfriend, is the only one who knows the truth. He protects Seonghwa's secret fiercely. Their love is tender and powerful-Yeosang is the one who makes Seonghwa feel safe to be both human and siren.

Vampire AU • Found Family • Supernatural Slice of Life Centuries-old vampires don't usually live in cramped dorms above a convenience store... But these four brothers aren't your typical bloodsuckers. After centuries of hiding in the shadows, the immortal siblings Wumuti, Rui, Hyun, and Haru are forced to blend into the modern human world when the Vampire Court they once served collapses in a mysterious revolt. Their new lives? Pretending to be normal young men - while attending night school, surviving ramen-fueled blood cravings, and hiding their true powers in a city that would burn them if the truth ever slipped. Wumuti, the eldest and most responsible, shares a room with the cold but observant Hyun - whose silence often hides secrets even his brothers don't know. Meanwhile, Rui, the graceful middle brother, tries to keep their chaotic youngest, Haru, in check - though the boy seems more fox than vampire some nights. Between whispered threats from the remnants of the Vampire Court, late-night cravings that could expose them, and the strain of holding back their true natures, one question looms: Can monsters learn to live like humans... or will their past sink its fangs in first?

In a city where vampires hide in plain sight, four ancient vampires-Wumuti, Hyun, Yeonjun, and Taehyun-have survived centuries by obeying one rule: never love a human. But five humans-Rui, Haru, Soobin, Beomgyu, and Huening Kai-begin to crack open what the vampires thought was long dead. The question isn't whether vampires can love. It's what still beats when their hearts no longer do.
