    • How to Turn Your Life Into a Cheesy Rom-Com, A Guide by Mark Lee and Lee Donghyuck
    • STEP 1: Walk straight into a lamppost.
    • [ Alternatively: Donghyuck offers to help Mark save face in front of an ex at a wedding. Mark thinks there's a chance this will not go the same way as every fake dating rom-com ever. It does. ]
  • high school sweethearts ┊ supersoulmates (poorpessimist) ┊ series
    • He’s everything all at once, a giant contradiction. He’s sour but he’s so, so sweet when he’s with Mark. He’s a Gemini, so Donghyuck says the planets intended for him to be like that.
    • Mark doesn’t know much about the planets, but he knows they led him to Donghyuck for a reason, all the way from New York to a small neighborhood outside of Seoul.
    • Or
    • No one can wrap their heads around why Mark and Donghyuck work, they just do.
  • i know a place ┊ supersoulmates (poorpessimist)
    • Tossing and turning at night, worrying about a man who doesn’t think of him as anything more than an acquaintance is a downright demeaning way to live, he inherently knows this. It doesn’t stop him from losing sleep over whether or not Mark has already moved onto the next big thing.
    • It doesn’t hurt any less when he watches Mark eat breakfast across the table the following morning, never losing eye-contact with his phone.
    • (Mark wants to be friends, and Donghyuck is tired of running in circles.)
  • in simple terms ┊ mayhems
    • After receiving a totally not romantically-charged gift from Mark, Donghyuck decides to finally get answers about what they really are to each other by any means necessary, starting with doing what he does best: psychologically manipulating Mark until he figures out exactly what he wants to know.
    • (Donghyuck might just be crazy. That would be the worst possible outcome, definitely.)
  • ❤ ┊ neighbors with benefits ┊ linens ┊ series
    • Donghyuck matches with his neighbour, Mark, on Grindr and enters into a neighbours-with-benefits arrangement with him, but Donghyuck finds that he likes him far more than he should...
  • the spaces between the words. ┊ thiyatrack (matchathi)
    • Mark doesn’t remember the story in the morning. He remembers Donghyuck’s hand against his heart, patting him gently – once, twice, thrice. He remembers having his eyes closed as Donghyuck pressed his lips to Mark’s forehead. He remembers the last thought in his head before he drifted off into the warm arms of sleep – that the familiarity is no longer enough.
  • trying to put it into words ┊ venuscava
    • In his brain, it goes like this: everything Mark just said + them holding hands right now + Mark looking like he wants to jump off a plane + the out of place offense at Donghyuck not taking his offer seriously + him sitting here, with Donghyuck, not even watching the movie that was probably very loudly distracting him from completing his time-sensitive essay = the second epiphany.
    • Donghyuck’s eyes widen. “Oh my god. You’re totally in love with me.”
  • wherever we go ┊ tatoeba
    • Mark goes back to Vancouver for what’s meant to be a one-month hiatus. Somehow, Donghyuck ends up going with him.
  • you're crazy (i'm out of my mind) ┊ thiyatrack (matchathi)
    • "The difference is that you haven't signed a contract with other people stating that you'd marry them if you were both single by thirty-two." Donghyuck's phone lies in Mark's hand, a picture from Donghyuck's sister open. Mark's legs dangle as he sits on the counter next to the stove. "Look at what it says: We, Mark Lee and Lee Donghyuck, pledge to get married should we find ourselves unable to obtain a suitable partner by the ripe old age of thirty-two. We were so much more eloquent back then."
    • "We also thought thirty-two was a ripe old age, I wouldn't look back on those days too lovingly."
    • [ Alternatively: 5 dates that Donghyuck sets Mark up on, and 1 date that Mark sets Donghyuck up on. ]
• lee jeno x na jaemin
  • ❤ ┊ pulling your disguise up ┊ sack_and_sugar
    • Jaemin, a freshly contracted witch, had expected his familiar to be a bird. Or maybe a cat. He wasn’t anticipating a disconcerted bike messenger named Jeno (human).

    • theaigooman (jm) has been deeply in love with dogdays23 (jn) since they were 16. join him on his adventures filled with delusion, agony, and self-sabotage! woo!
  • stomachaches and dandelions (hate this distance) ┊ thiyatrack (matchathi)
    • Jeno wanted to believe that they would stay friends even after Jaemin moved across the country, though they agreed to not fight the rapids of time and distance and make it more miserable for themselves. They would always share their best friendship, regardless of whether it carried over in the rush of new experiences, independence, and starting a new phase of life. They slept that night holding hands, at peace with their decisions.
    • Most of their decisions, at least. Jeno never got to tell Jaemin he loved him.
• kim jungwoo x nakamoto yuta

      • "Hi, you've reached DNYL's Haechan. Who may I help you break up with today?"
      • [ Alternatively: Mark and Donghyuck run an agency that helps people break up with their partners, but things get a little complicated after they receive a call from Mark's partner. Meanwhile, Jaemin has a ton of repressed feelings, and Jeno's trying to figure out his hoe phase. ]
• park jisung x zhong chenle
  • drive ┊ dreamlikewater
    • Jisung would follow Chenle through the end of the world if he’d asked, regardless of whether the end of the world was happening or not. And Chenle just cannot stop moving.

  • raise the stakes [i'll be your safety net] ┊ thiyatrack (matchathi)
    • "If you want to get me married, then I have a condition."
    • Chenle’s throat is dry and he briefly considers backing out before the format of a matrimonial profile flashes in his mind. If he needs to read the words outdoor person and family-oriented once more, he might throw up a few vital organs.
    • “You have to marry me off to a man.”
    • [ Alternatively: The one in which Chenle marries for family, Jisung marries for the economy, and between a ton of cut fruit and animal post-it notes, they stay married for each other. ]
  • somewhere in the world it's five o'clock ┊ moonseul
    • Zhong Chenle. Twenty-five. The first Chinese astronaut to go to space. Also the first to sneak a corned beef sandwich in his pressure suit pocket, which could have very well made him the last Chinese astronaut in space, but Jisung knew it wouldn’t be the case.
    • Zhong Chenle just had a way with people.
