an open book by simkjrs, zarinthel

  • Recommended by: Lyra_Dhani
  • Status: Complete
  • Synopsis: "There's no one else here," says the child that is Kim Dokja. Unconsciously, maybe, he draws in on himself. "It's just me." The black tide behind Jonghyuk rustles and stops at the edges of shadow, and then it recedes until it is only him and the child before him. [Kim Dokja was alone.] "I am here, too," Yoo Jonghyuk says.

word-woven garden by Scribblurri

  • Recommended by: Lyra_Dhani
  • Status: Ongoing
  • Synopsis: It's a gradual but certain realization, that the words and letters of the story he loves so much— of the story that helped him live until this point— were going to kill him, too. And what a stupid way to go, he thinks. Of all things, for loving a story too much. (Even as the years pass by, petals and leaves have collected between the pages of his books, serving as bookmarks for pages he's reread time and time again. The petals get bigger as he flips from front to back. He doesn't dare trample on this proof of his love, even as it kills him.) (or: Dokja loves a story too much, and coughs up flowers while he's at it. Not much changes.)

Sour Grapes by pave_ment

  • Recommended by: ThisIsRidiculous
  • Status: Complete
  • Synopsis: “Hey Dokja-ssi, when you were a kid… What was it you wanted to do?" She doesn’t know what evoked this question, but now she’s asked it she wants to know. The cheap, stale coffee warms the palms Sangah has it cradled as she asks questions of her furtive colleague in a rare moment of conversation. The man next to her, for once, isn't staring at a screen, be it his computer monitor or that of his phone. He’s looking downward, eyebrows furrowed and mouth slightly downturned. While she waits for his answer, she wonders if she’s asked too much of him, thinking this might be what has him recoil away behind the wall he usually bares almost as brazenly as her work smile. "I’m not too sure….”, he says and stops. He doesn’t continue. ... “...I was told, once, that I could be an actor but,” he waves a dismissive hand against himself. Kim Dokja doesn't leave the office with Yoo Sangah that day.
  • Comments: the title refers to Aseop's fable wherein a hungry fox tries and fails to eat grapes that grew too high for the fox to reach. After the fox gives up, it attempts to console itself by remarking that grapes were probably sour anyway. A nearby spider who saw the whole thing decides to sample the grapes and discovers that they were the sweetest grapes it had ever tasted. ouCH.

  • Synopsis: Han Sooyoung was the best character in Ways of Survival. Totally OP powers, funniest quips, Yoo Joonghyuk’s best friend: maybe she was a badly written teenage SI/OC Mary Sue, but who cares? Kim Dokja had loved her the most for ten years. Too bad she wouldn’t stop dying. Han Sooyoung was Kim Dokja’s best friend. And this was all going to be worth it.
  • Pairing: Han Sooyoung/Kim Dokja/Yoo Joonghyuk
