    Summary

    This part of the ship felt different, secluded, the floor worn and smelling faintly of varnish. Small, brass-framed portholes let in beams of light, each glittering with a thousand tiny specks of dust.

    After a few dead ends, Seonghwa finally found the door marked “Third Officer.” He hesitated, the ship’s gentle rocking suddenly more noticeable as he crouched to slide the envelope underneath the door, his hand trembling.

    No going back now.

    In 1909, chance meetings on the S.S. Runic set Seonghwa on a journey through London, New York, and the depths of the Atlantic aboard the Titanic.

    Summary

    And so it was – after rehearsal, Hongjoong texted the objectively beautiful woman, introducing herself as Wooyoung’s friend and asking if she still needed a babysitter. A few hours later, the reply came, in the form of an incomprehensible message that seemed to be written by some kind of extraterrestrial creature, followed by extensive apologies and an explanation that it was her daughter who sent it. They talked some more and arranged to meet at a tea shop Hongjoong had never been to on Saturday.

    Hongjoong just hopes the kid isn’t some alien creature from another planet bound in the small body of a three-year-old.

    or: Hongjoong is a struggling guitarist in need of a new job, Seonghwa is a single mom in need of a babysitter. It works out... sort of.

    Summary

    “I can help you.” Hongjoong’s hands rest on top of his, but they don’t move otherwise.

    Seonghwa’s laugh is strained. “I’m—I’m okay. I still don’t know if this is a good idea.”

    Hongjoong chuckles, but there’s an edge to it that raises alarm bells in Seonghwa’s head, skin prickling with goosebumps. “That’s not the kind of help I’m offering.”

    “T-then…?”

    It takes Seonghwa a few seconds to realize that maybe he shouldn’t have asked for clarification. Hongjoong’s eyes darken, head tilting just a bit, hands constricting down on his own just a little bit harder. “I’m asking if you want us to help you get off, Seonghwa.”

    Summary

    “It’s illegal to hunt animals,” Seonghwa explained softly, eyes flicking over to where Hongjoong was now glaring distastefully at their cottage as a whole. “We get allotted rations from the city on a weekly basis.”

    “You aren’t allowed to hunt?” Mingi asked. “Like— at all? What if something happens to your blood supply?”

    Yeosang shrugged. “We starve,” he deadpanned.

    “Vampires are ruthless, bloodthirsty monsters,” Hongjoong bit out. “The only way they’re allowed to hunt is if they’re a part of a pack because they need to be kept in check. I can’t imagine what sort of delusional pack would want the burden of bloodsuckers though.”

     

    OR

    Seonghwa will do anything to keep his fledglings safe. Anything. Hongjoong's top priority has always been and will always be the safety and well-being of his packmates.

    They learn they're not as dissimilar as they once believed themselves to be. And they could perhaps be more if they allow themselves to trust one another.

    The one where Seonghwa and Hongjoong have a casual relationship with no strings attached, but as they grow closer, they wonder if their feelings might be leading to something more.
