Text prompt from bluedreaming:
“Still, being alone doesn't mean you have to be miserable. In that sense it's different from losing something. You've still got yourself, even if you lose everything else.

Back to Tomorrow by heijihatsutori
There is a coffee shop at the end of the road by the hospital. The shop is quaint, small and simple in design, with a lone wind chime hanging by the sign that read Infinite café, emblazoned in pearly gold color. No one knows how old the shop is, for it has been there since one can remember, though for some reason the townspeople generally tend to stay away from it, as if there is a barrier that keeps them at arm’s length.

When there is only half a heart in love, it is best to keep it hidden. Myungsoo used to believe that, and he wonders if he held on to that belief for too long.
Sunggyu/Myungsoo, Sunggyu/Woohyun, PG-13, ~8,500 words
Picture prompt from heijihatsutori
Text prompt from kalopsia:
“Loving people, and allowing yourself to be loved, was only worth the risk if the odds were in your favor, but they quite clearly weren't. There were about seventy-nine squillion people in the world, and if you were very lucky, you would end up being loved by fifteen or twenty of them. So how smart did you have to be to work out that it just wasn't worth the risk?” (About a Boy, Nick Hornby)

"Some day," said Walter dreamily, looking afar into the sky, "the Pied Piper will come over the hill up there and down Rainbow Valley, piping merrily and sweetly. And I will follow him-follow him down to the shore-down to the sea-away from you all. I don't think I'll want to go-Jem will want to go-it will be such an adventure-but I won't. Only I'll HAVE to-the music will call and call and call me until I MUST follow." - L.M. Montgomery in Rainbow Valley
Mv/lyrics prompt from heijihatsutori
Day 6 - August 20th
Wandering in the Dark by namikaze_jkc
Howon’s been searching for his brother’s whereabouts for years, only to find him in the hands of the enemy, along with another unexpected face. His first instinct is to save them both, but in the end, who’s the one who actually needs saving?
Howon-centric (Howon/Sungjong brotherhood, hints of Howon/Myungsoo), pg-13, ~7,300 words
Picture prompt from bexisaplant
Text prompt from heijihatsutori:
"I called his name again and again. And I learned that each time, nothing called back.

Natsume Takashi, Natsume Yuujinchou
Mv/lyrics prompt from bluedreaming

Woohyun/Sunggyu, r, ~10,200 words
Picture prompt from myungsoopermans
Text prompt from tiny_estrella:
You will learn that the saddest word in the English language is stay. Whether it’s your mother’s voice whispering it before you leave for college, or your ex-lover’s desperate screams as you walk out of the house, it will always be a hard word to hear. Sometimes you should listen to it, other times you shouldn’t. Trust yourself. Go with your gut.”
Mv/lyrics prompt from livejournal
Fall by eightninetwo
Sunggyu meets a beautiful florist who changes his life, but things were always meant to turn out this way, anyway.
Sunggyu/Myungsoo, pg, ~4,600 words
Picture prompt from bluedreaming
Text prompt from sasofy:
"I think when you hear someone say they like you, for the first time, then you can begin to like yourself. I think when someone accepts you, for the first time, you feel like you can forgive yourself a little. You can begin to face your fears with courage.”
Mv/lyrics prompt from namikaze_jkc
Who I am, Who I’m Not, Who I Wanna Be by thunggyu
At twenty-two, Sunggyu was a lot of things ― a newly debuted idol, a leader, a man living his dreams. At thirty-one, Sunggyu is no one.
Sunggyu-centric, Sunggyu/Myungsoo, pg-13, ~11,300 words
Picture prompt from sasofy
Text prompt from namikaze_jkc:

Mv/lyrics prompt from tiny_estrella
