→ lu han/sehun // chanyeol/kris | 12100 words | pg-13
sehun is emotionally & verbally crippled. but yay, lu han is there to save our ship. on the sideline, chanyeol harasses yifan on a regular basis
(Sehun ends up being Blue. The research company’s staffs are going through the Whole Brain Thinking test results with the student volunteers. Lu Han assigns himself to Sehun because ‘we already know each other anyway’. Sehun likes to think that he has more complex definitions to the word ‘friend’.)

sequel to drippin' swagu (highly recommend that you read it first), still sk8r boiz au now with alt title: skateboarding is practically foreplay for these boys anyway
(Kai’s smile goes full blown then, and he holds Baekhyun’s stare for a long, heavy moment before turning back to his work. For all of Baekhyun’s remarks, he’s all too aware that this is new to Kai, that there are borders to push and to pull and to whisper over but not to cross. Kai backing up his general nature as a teasing little shit with weighty hints of fulfilment is definitely something…unexpected.
Thrilling in a slightly terrifying, runaway-train sort of way, but unexpected.)

sehun is the new intern in jongin and kyungsoo's group.
when illusions don't matter as long as the results are real.
(After a few weeks, Sehun gets upgraded to formatting memos. One, because they run out of useless tasks to give him and, second, because their group gets swamped with work, and Jongin is too busy to even torment him by Google-stalking out his old yearbook pictures and attaching them on floor-wide e-mail chains. The bank is in a frenzy over a recent tip that a juggernaut in the technology sector has plans of merging with a high-profile clean energy firm, and their group kicks into overdrive to prepare a pitch to win the rights to handle the transaction.)

jongin’s messed around with most of his band members in one way or another but seeing sehun do it is what throws him off his game.
(“I don’t know,” Sehun’s much more interested in the Canadian on the television. He licks at his bottom lip, wetting his dry mouth and Jongin absentmindedly wonders what the best way to kiss him from their angle is. He ends up tilting his head sideways to press his lips against the corner of Sehun’s mouth; Sehun rolls his eyes, but Jongin feels rather than sees his smile.)
oh, rats

→ gen // ot6: exo-m | 2520 words | pg
the very minute exo-k gets latched onto the newest season of 'hello baby', all hell breaks loose in china.
("then what did you expect him to do? adopt a baby from an orphanage?" challenges yixing, shaking his head. he sticks his finger into the cage and grins a little when the rat tickles his finger with its whiskers. he drawls, "this isn't too bad, han-ge. it is pretty cute." he ignores wu fan's obvious preening. a long beat of silence followed. "yeah, it's a pretty decent pet," declares zitao, pulling out his iphone to take a (selca of himself ft. their new pet to send to exo-k) photo of their new member.)
