    The key is a sword, left in a stone—
    held by the Witness, ever alone.
    Between the kingdoms' furthest reach
    woe to all when the gate is breached...

    Summary

    As far as anyone else is concerned, Mingi is just a mild-mannered nerd who works in IT, and that’s the way he likes it. No one needs to know that he was once the Pirate, the technological genius supervillain who terrorised the city until his abrupt disappearance three years ago. No one needs to know, especially not his boyfriend Yunho, a minor superhero and member of the peacekeeping team Horizon.

    No, Mingi is perfectly content for his past to stay buried.

    That is, until Yunho gets captured.

    Summary

    “Kiari and I broke up,” Yunho says. He stumbles over the words as if he’s trying to get them out of him as fast as he can. “It’s been three months to the day, today, actually.”

    Mingi doesn’t really know what to say. “Shit.

    “I haven’t told anyone, obviously,” Yunho goes on, “not even my parents.”

    There’s a weight to Yunho that cuts through the stifle of the phone call.

    Mingi feels like he’s not drawing in enough air. “Yun, I—"

    “Are you at the lake-house, Mingi-yah?”

    or,

    mingi runs away from expectations. yunho anchors himself to them. here, they both try something new.

    Summary

    A shadow appeared at the entry to the alleyway, and Mingi caught a whiff of sweetness and sweat and dog hybrid. He let out a warning growl, which came out raspier and quieter than intended. He coughed, the air stinging his lungs.
    “Oh, hey, puppy,” the man crooned, shuffling a little bit closer and crouching down. He held out his hand for Mingi to sniff. “Hello, sweetheart.”
    Mingi nearly rolled his eyes. Was this guy stupid?

    Summary

    … He doesn’t even realise he’s been zoned out until the guitar starts playing. The glass stills in Jongho’s hand and his eyes cut to the stage where a man stands, acoustic guitar slung low across his torso as he performs with a practiced ease…

    ~~~

    Jongho has been living on autopilot for so long that he doesn’t really even realise it’s happening anymore, until the night that Hongjoong starts performing at his favourite open mic spot and shakes him awake…
