    Summary

    “Yoo Sangah. Grab a stretcher and Lee Seolhwa,” Kim Dokja ordered, his voice cracking at the end. He ignored the notifications clouding his vision. He sat with Sooyoung, holding her hand tightly and trying to pry any sort of information about what happened out of her. He tried his best to stop the bleeding, but he couldn’t figure out where it was coming from. It was like it was coming from everywhere and nowhere at the same time. If she dies now…

    Summary

    Yoo Joonghyuk gets hurt, picks himself back up again, loses bits of himself for the people he loves, and never, ever complains. He never falters, bends but never breaks, and always looks upon all of them fondly despite the pain he goes through for their sake.

    The man Uriel calls Captain lives in a hell of his own choosing, and he would not be Yoo Joonghyuk if he did not do this for them. So Uriel swallows her pleas and throws herself into battle, fire roaring to match her rage as she fights so her captain never has to sacrifice himself again. She did not earn her Fables for nothing, and she will dedicate each and every one if it means Yoo Joonghyuk will be safe.

    She loves him. How could she not? He is kindness in warm hands and justice in a sharp blade and honor in his set gaze. He aims to tear apart the world as they know it, and Uriel will gladly pluck every last star for him. All he has to do is ask.

    An archangel descends to offer her loyalty to a mortal. That is not the end of the story, not by a long shot.

    Summary

    "Struck a nerve, bastard?" The leader of the bullies taunts, incredibly childish as he takes Kim Dokja's bag from his goons.

    I am Yoo Joonghyuk, Kim Dokja tells himself silently. He knows the real Yoo Joonghyuk would have cut down all these bullies by now, but right now Kim Dokja is drawing on just the man's unwavering confidence instead and the stone-cold expression the regressor was often described with.

    It's all bearable until the ringleader pulls out his phone, and Kim Dokja clenches his fists so hard that he's sure he digs little crescents of red into his palms. This doesn't go unnoticed, and he barely has time to react before his phone crashes to the floor, screen cracking on impact.

    Kim Dokja and his no-good, terrible evening.

    Summary

    A middle schooler voraciously devouring the black letters neatly typed on a desktop’s screen. A salaryman scrolling through webnovels on the monotonous ride through the subway. A reader with a grin on his face, wings unfolding in midair, sending out cryptic details about future scenarios as a dagger was pushed through his heart. And a man stranded in the airport, with a broken phone and an ominous sense of uncertainty hanging in the air, apart from his two partners who would never pass up the chance to talk about how much they loved him.

    Summary

    Kim Dokja is many things. An idiot. A bastard. A self-sacrificial man. A schemer. An ally.

    (A companion.)

    Kim Dokja gains these titles with every action he takes, with that infuriating smile and plans that only make sense by the end of them. Yoo Joonghyuk should kill him. He has no need for prophets, real or not. Despite himself, Yoo Joonghyuk holds back.

    Just one more time, he tells himself. Give him one last chance. And each problem is always solved somehow, with Kim Dokja the grand mastermind of it all. Before Yoo Joonghyuk knows it, the man is a companion to him. No matter how infuriating or condescending the man may be, he is no longer an enemy in Yoo Joonghyuk's eyes. They will fight side by side.

    Still, there are some days where Yoo Joonghyuk wants to wring Kim Dokja by the neck until he coughs up all his secrets. Such as right now. 

    Yoo Joonghyuk finds Kim Dokja unconscious and bleeding out, away from the rest of their group. Despite his reservations, our resident sunfish helps patch up our resident squid.

    Summary

    “I figured you may be in here. There is… something you should see,” the kkoma said, reluctantly. His expression was pitiful, almost. “Come with me.”

    The two of them walked through the halls. The outer god kept a neutral expression, but inside, his mind was racing. They intersected with 666, who passed the tablet to 999 and then scurried away, as if fearing for his life.

    999 held the screen to his chest. “It would be best to mentally prepare yourself for this.”

    Summary

    For AU-gust Day 12: Bookstore and Whumptober Day 4

    Both of them flinch and step backwards, the book the other boy was holding falling to the ground.

    “Sorry!” he exclaims, bending down to pick it up.

    Yoo Joonghyuk just stares at him.

    His short black hair is messy, his eyes are wide, and he watches Yoo Joonghyuk curiously, head titled slightly to one side.

     

    Oh. Fuck. He’s really pretty.

    Summary

    The starting words come to her easily; she thinks of a lonely man who has lived through so many lives that death is but a cheap farce to him, and begins writing the hellish eternity that was Yoo Joonghyuk's life. She's dooming him. She's sentencing the lives of millions to death, across worlds and time and universes. But she thinks of a boy that jumped, a boy without wings and without strength, falling to die. Han Sooyoung thinks of Kim Dokja, fifteen years old and already stepping off the edge, and she writes.

    It was hard. It was tough. It was boring as hell. But Han Sooyoung wouldn’t give up. She couldn’t give up. And so she dooms humanity with nothing but black words on a white screen and prays they reach a boy who wished so desperately for salvation but didn’t know how to ask for it.

    Han Sooyoung of the 1863 world line, on crafting a story from a place of love.

    Summary

    And since he got beat up outside school, he'll have to spend money on some first aid supplies. Kim Dokja groans, the sounds of the street outside the alleyway filtering in, chatter from people heading to dinner or back home from work.

    "Hey." Kim Dokja jolts violently, head clearing enough to focus on the sudden voice. What? "Heyyyy. You awake?”

    He sees blue eyes first; he had seen the undersides of glaciers in a random documentary long ago, and they’re nearly the same shade as this stranger’s eyes. Once he’s done processing the fact someone is standing before him, the most beautiful face Kim Dokja has ever seen greets him, the sparkles from it blinding him.

    A white-haired - is that dye or natural? - boy dressed in a school uniform peers down at him, and wow, he could be a model. What's someone this good-looking standing in a dingy alleyway? He looks like he could slap Yoo Joonghyuk's face at least once.

    Kim Dokja meets an extremely hot white-haired guy in an alleyway and his cool-looking black-haired friend outside it. He returns home with two new contacts on his phone.

    Summary

    Kim Dokja stared at a singular spot on his desk, trying to will his ears to stop ringing. He felt himself gradually fading out, black spots resembling ink blotches clouding his vision. Han Sooyoung’s voice from behind him felt detached and far away. He tried to look up, at the whiteboard, at the teacher, at the ceiling, at anything, but everything was blurring together.
