Fools in Love

desc:

“Oh, Mark Lee,” Johnny continued to laugh, one that slowly turned into a full guffaw. “A little ankle isn’t going to kill anyone. Plus, I think his ankles are pretty cute. Don’t you think so?” No, Johnny was wrong— very wrong. A little bit of ankle was going to be enough to give him a heart attack. And Lee Donghyuck? The omega was going to be the death of him, no doubt about it.  

love like fools

Renjun tsked his tongue in a disapproving manner, teasing him, “Oh Lee Donghyuck, reel in those desperately pinning omega pheromones will you? You’re acting like he took off his clothes and stripped down bare or something.”  Mark might as well have done that because if Donghyuck hoped to survive another minute out there, then the alpha needed to pull his sleeves back down— soon. His heart was too weak to handle the sight of those gorgeous forearms on complete display like that.

I’m chill.” Donghyuck raises a brow. “You’re…chill?” “Totally,” he replies, weakly. (Or: Mark starts to rethink his whole dynamic with Donghyuck after a nosey fan starts asking all the deep questions)

maroon (breakable heaven) by thiyatrack (matchathi) 

desc:

Jeno is blood and sweat and tears, mixed in the wrong proportions and poured into a mould loosely resembling a man. He’s gross and sticky and melting in the sun and Jaemin looks at him in exactly the way that he is, without the one emotion that Jeno was so used to looking back at. Reverence.

summer storm sadness by starsonscars

desc:

"For a maddening moment Jeno thinks Jaemin's going to sit on his lap – God, he wants him to – to feel the plushness of his ass against his crotch, to snake his hands under his shirt and grip his hips to see if his skin is as soft to the touch as it seems. He has a ring on his index finger, Jeno sees it now, silvery and sharp – it’s a cross, and Jeno imagines Jaemin pressing it against his throat, branding his neck anew until it’s red and faithful. God, Jaemin couldn’t be more of a church boy, and Jeno craves to undo all the things in him that are holy." Once upon a summer storm, a troubled cowboy and a devilish church boy fall in love over heated glances and whiskey shots. (or: Jeno is the mysterious stranger who arrives during a storm and begs a farmer to let him stay in his farm and Jaemin is the farmer’s son who hasn’t gotten married yet)

precognitive dissonance by Lanachronisms

desc:

In Donghyuck's dream, Mark carried him back to his bed and crawled into it with him. When Donghyuck stirred, he quieted him with a kiss to the temple and told him to go back to sleep. He woke up in his own room wrapped into the space between Mark’s arms. In real life, Donghyuck blinked awake on the couch in the living room to the sound of someone knocking around in the kitchen. He was alone.

can't turn the radio down (can't think of anyone else) by thiyatrack (matchathi)

desc:

“What? I’d date you!” In every game of truth or dare, Jeno has always picked truth. This time, it feels like he’s picking neither. “Sure you would,” he scoffs sarcastically, the back of his neck sparking with heat and electricity. “Even I wouldn’t.” (Alternatively: Five times when Jeno doesn't take Jaemin seriously when he confesses, and the one time that he does.)

hands for your hurts by conclusions (introductions)

desc:

Donghyuck thinks of Mark Lee’s dumb, earnest face, his not-quite-dimpled smile, his jeans, his cursebreaker hands. So much had changed in those two years since high school, and yet. And yet.  Call me if you want help, Mark had said.    -- or: a backfired spell, a reconciliation of mortality, and a lot of awkward flirting. And still, Mark Lee sticks around.

look at me, I beg you. by mayhemark

desc:

As a kid, Mark saw Donghyuck fall in love with Jaemin. As a teen, with Jeno. In high school, Jisung had a crush on him. Donghyuck liked the attention. In college, he dated Renjun. In his first job, Chenle asked him out for coffee. Didn’t end up as anything. When he changed jobs, he met Jaemin again. Older, wiser, they reconnected, got married. He’s in his late twenties, divorced. Currently passed out on Mark’s couch with his hand around the wine bottle he gave Mark as a best man's present for the day. And throughout it all, Mark still loves him.
