    Summary

    'Fellow stars worm their way into your vision and surround you.
    “What will you do now?”
    “Will you stay?”
    “Will you go home?”
    Your voice croaks. “I…want to go someplace else.”
    Your fellow stars are quiet for a moment.
    “You wish to rest?”
    Your shoulders tense. “I do.”
    “Then you know what to do.”
    You whisper it aloud three times: “I wish to go to a place where my…family, and I, don’t exist.”'

    A self-healing story with a heavy helping of romance and plenty of local mysteries. And kind of a mental deep-dive into Loop and how they've changed?? This is my interpretation of their character at least.
    Roboro belongs to Sharkylass and their In Repetition and Change AU. I have permission to write it :) Loop and rest of the Main Cast belong to InsertDisc5. The worlds and Original Characters in this story are all me/based on folklore and legend. The heaviest Two Hats spoilers imaginable.

    Summary

    “I guess I always knew he’d be the one to ruin whatever teenage dream I had left.” Jisung said. So helplessly. With a hollow laugh almost foreign in his own throat. “I really, fuck— I really thought that I’d just pack my shit, disappear, crawl back into whatever hole I came from. Or maybe you’d call the cops, and we’d just… fade out. Two ghosts, different graves, different towns. But then, you gave me hope, hyung. And that— that was the cruelest thing you could’ve done to me.”

    Just as the police prepare to declare a missing boy dead, Minho meets Peter.

    Summary

    Charlotte “Letty” Hopper knows Hawkins isn’t safe—she learned that long before the monsters. Dumped on her uncle’s doorstep by a mother who didn’t want her, Letty clings to the fragments of normal life: late-night shifts at the arcade, banter with friends, and the dangerous pull of boys who make her feel seen in different ways. But Hawkins doesn’t let go. Between whispers of the Upside Down, memories she can’t shake, and the bruises of a past she never asked for, Letty has to find her footing before the town swallows her whole. A story of survival, found family, and the messy intimacy of growing up in a world where darkness is always just beneath the surface.

    Summary

    Katsuki stared at her, water dripping down her own face, hair clinging to her neck. Eijirou’s smile was bright even under the gray sky, her eyes alive in a way that made the entire city fade.

    The rain kept falling, relentless and loud, but Katsuki didn’t care now. She didn’t care about the soaked clothes or the ruined morning.

    All she could see was Eijirou, standing there in the middle of the storm, pulling her closer, both of them laughing quietly at how ridiculous it all was.

    Summary

    “If I speak in the tongues of men and angels, but have no love,
    I have become sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal.
    And if I have prophecy and know all mysteries and all knowledge,
    and if I have all faith so as to move mountains,
    but have not love,
    I am nothing.”

    A town full of gossip, a town full of rumors, especially of this new Uchiha that has moved to this small coastal town, where waves are just the background of whispers, and the daylight drowns.

    Or
    Sasuke and Naruto meet and they hate each other, until they don't.

    Summary

    San leaned back on his hands, tilting his head toward the ceiling. He watched the blades of the fan circle overhead in near silence. Tomorrow, they’d be doing this again. And the day after. Then he caught himself.

    No. Not the day after.

    The thought was still new enough that it didn’t feel real.

    Wooyoung’s father had broken the news at the beginning of the summer. We’re moving to Seoul! It’s a great opportunity for me, he had said as Wooyoung sat in stony silence. His father’s voice had softened as he followed up, A great opportunity for us all. You can apply to colleges in the city and really make something of yourself. You can even keep dancing there, I’m sure there’ll be classes you can join!

    Wooyoung had been fighting his emotions when he broke the news to them all those weeks ago. The others had formed a tight circle around him as he finally soaked their shirts with his tears. As San joined in the hug, he couldn’t shake the feeling that something was slipping through his fingers, something he hadn’t even held onto yet, something he couldn’t even name.

    It felt like someone had pressed pause on the world.
