Summary
Four months ago, Jisung was alone, overworked and underpaid, and determined to deal with life by himself, however shitty it might get. But Chan and Changbin shook his world up, and his walls didn't come down but now there were doors. Two months later, their threesome doubled into a pack, and with Hyunjin, Seungmin, and Jeongin in the mix, Jisung's heart is full. And the sex is great too!
But just after Christmas, Changbin found Felix in the woods, starving, dehydrated, covered in cuts and bruises, and freezing to death, and the pack took him in. They want to find out who he is, who's hunting him, but he doesn't say much. He's sweet and cute, though, so they try to work around that.
Until a biker comes into the Diner. Is he one of the ones that Felix was running from? Or will he have all the answers they have about him?
Who is after Felix? And why? Who is this mysterious blue haired man? Who does he work with? What do they do? Jisung has more questions than answers as time goes on.
And then, the men chasing Felix come to town and the entire pack gets involved in the takedown of a sex trafficking ring. Big job for a graveyard server from a little town in the middle of nowhere.

Summary
Two months after Bang Chan's car broke down outside a little town in the middle of nowhere, Chan, Changbin, and Jisung are a happy, healthy throuple. Chan has moved in with Jisung, working as a bartender, and Changbin splits time between his own cabin near the logging headquarters and Jisung's house.
Life is good. Until a new hire at the diner threatens to tear apart everything they've built. And two other people from Jisung's past reappear, both nursing feelings for him.
(Note- I put in the notes in a couple of places, but people are asking about Felix and Lee Know, so I'm gonna put this here: Felix comes in at the end of this fic as the bridge that starts the main plotline in Part 3, and Lee Know is the central character in that part, it WILL be ot8. Jisung will fixate on Minho, Minho and Felix will join the pack and the polycule, trust the process. Also, mind the tags, Part 3 is DARK, but I couldn't write it until I got these worked out, and I didn't know what I'd need to tag in the first two, that's why I separated them. Thank you for your attention in this matter.)

Summary
“I want two of those, a cup of coffee that’s half milk, and…” He glances behind them back towards the counter and the menus above it. “A coke. Coke. Do you do coke?”
“Yeah, we do coke,” Sydney nods, setting the napkins down on the table and pulling out her pad. “You can, um, sit anywhere,” She gestures with her pen to the empty diner, and the greasy, exhausted little man she was talking to nods and collapses into the seat closest to him.

But the patrons of his diner are never children.
or, in which Techno, the small-town owner of a diner, meets Tommy, a foster kid new to the seaside scene. As they grow closer, Techno unravels the knot that is Tommy's past, as well as confronting some memories of his own.

Summary
New staff wasn’t anything unusual. This place chewed up and spat people out on a weekly basis. Every other week, someone would quit mid-shift, and a new face would show up in their spot in the next.
Phainon was the longest-running staff member there, as far as he knew. Not that it was a badge of honor or anything.
But something about this chef felt different.
It wasn’t just the way he cooked or how clean he kept his station. It was how things felt around him. No clatter, no yelling, no banging pots. Just the soft rhythm of knives hitting the board, pans shifting on the burner, and the sound of a guy who knew exactly what he was doing, like he belonged in a kitchen more than the rest of them.
--
When a surprisingly talented chef starts working at the Marmoreal Diner, busboy Phainon assumes he won’t last—and yet, he still can’t help finding himself drawn to him.

He hates late nights. Hates them with a passion, even. Not because he hates working nights, which he actually kind of enjoys, but because they’re so boring. No guests and all he really does is clean. And there are only so many times one can clean a counter before it becomes redundant.
