Summary
It was easy, most of the time.
Owning Pokemon could be complicated. It could be expensive, time-consuming, scary, heartrending - any number of issues. Particularly, owning one as an idol tended to have its own challenges.
But Chan had never truly minded, was the thing.
It fit with their concept so well.
Eight evolutions, management had said, for eight members.
Idols are often paired with pokemon. Stray Kids are no exception.

Summary
But the creek is the first time he remembers stretching his hand out. The first time he remembers extending his fingers, eyes fixed on soaked blonde strands, and thinking, grab on, grab on, I can save you and I'll never let go.
He wishes, still, that Katsuki had taken his hand. Had let their fingers lock together, tiny but surprisingly strong, knuckles scraped to hell and back from daytime wandering and playground mishaps. Had let Izuku leverage him out of the water, or perhaps they would have fallen back in together, but at least it would have been together. Perhaps they wouldn't have broken apart so spectacularly, so destructively, so violently.
But Katsuki had not taken his hand, not in this life, and so it would go.
It's always been a river, for them.

Summary
Cid leaned in close, nearly putting his nose into the man’s neck and inhaled long and deep. Clive’s scent was still forming, his scent glands newly emerged, but already he smelled different. Clive smelled like sunlight on water; like woodsmoke; like pine; like home and hearth and warmth and the burning of the stars in the sky and the cataclysm of meteors and, and, and…
He was, unquestionably, the best thing Cid had ever tasted.
Or: Cid, Clive, and the reformation of fire.

Summary
His hands were cold.
Clive’s hands were never cold. He burned with the fire of the Phoenix, with Ifrit’s hell-flames, with passion and conviction and care. He was always warm - his eyes, his laugh, the richness of his voice.

Summary
He is not Torgal, not yet, when he loses his pack.
He has no name. His pack does not name their young until they are older, have proven their mettle against the elements. But at night, in that sleepy hour between night and dawn, when the stars burn at the same time as the sun, his mother, Wind-Howls, calls him Tundra-Fire.
A love letter to Final Fantasy XVI for its second anniversary; a retelling told by the finest of hounds.

Summary
Chan reached toward him with a careful, almost hesitant hand, his heart fluttering in a way that still surprised him despite how long they had been together. “Can I…?”
He didn’t finish the sentence, but Felix already understood. Felix always understood him with the kind of ease that made Chan weak.
Felix’s face softened, his lips curving into a tender smile that made Chan’s breath catch. “Count them?” he asked, voice warm.
Chan nodded, feeling suddenly shy. “Only if it’s okay.”
or ;; chan counts felix's freckles.

Summary
Clive shifted, glancing down at Cid’s arm, speckled with the curse, at the larger patches of stone that crept towards his shoulder. “You thought you were dying,” he said quietly.
“Aye, I was. I was actively dying, Clive, no other way to look at it.” He blinked again, flexing his hand. “Though, I suppose it’ll get no worse now.”
