Summary
“Then, in this life,” says the guide. “Why do you think you were born as Jisung?”
Not Han.
Not The Alien.
Just him.
“Because I wanted to be loved.”
He’s said it in an interview before, no matter how cliché it felt at the time. “The most beautiful word I know is love.”
And he knows that, when he wakes, he’ll forget her and her story, though it is still a part of him, just as her deepest wish always has been. For love. To feel loved. He’ll watch the Code episode back, smile at how ridiculous he looked, and fantasize about the missing details to her story that the hypnotist hadn’t inquired after.
Just as suddenly as it’d begun, it ends.Han has always written the best love songs. The most relatable, raw, descriptive and emotional lyrics confronting inadecuacy, imposter syndrome, success, struggles, and the toll of anxiety. But underneath his talent, fame, and confidence, Han is just a boy who was once a girl living during the 1910-1945 Japanese occupation, growing up alone in the mountains. Their lives were different, but they are the same. What was her life like beyond the snippets Han shared with the hypnotist...and how do their fates intertwine?

Summary
The others are off planning a surprise for Baby, the aegi of the group. Even though he's actually older than a lot of them, but whatever, that's fine print. Unfortunately, this means someone has to stay behind and make sure he doesn't cause mayhem.
That someone is a very reluctant Mira, who is the least likely to spill a secret, but also the most likely to stop his mayhem by killing him.
But instead, she gets an unexpected, entirely unwanted call from the brother who disowned her along with the rest of her snobby family, and she and Baby are forced to embark on a quick side-quest that includes a secret fiance, rollercoasters, a rogue gumiho-monster, and lots of insults.
The question is: will they get back in time for Baby's surprise in one piece?
(Mira will, that's for damn sure.)Series

The Saja Boys Doing Human-ish Stuff: A Ballad by theEcho
Fandoms: KPop Demon Hunters (2025)

Summary
In the aftermath of Gwi-ma's defeat as Huntr/x faces their new duty as monster hunters, where do the Saja Boys fit in? Are they prepared to take the stage again, or does healing look different to them, like staying out of the public eye and sampling the modern era, unrestricted by the industry or a Demon King's control?
Of course, shenanigans are in store.
(alt summary: a self-indulgent fic author might not end up being very proud of but is gonna write anyways, damnit)ALSO YES, THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF A LARGER WORK. I'M FAIRLY SURE THIS CAN BE READ WITHOUT CONTEXT THO...MAYBE ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ *whispers* Just in case, go read the parent fic

Summary
But he wasn’t alive, and she was reminded of it every time Huntr/x drew their weapons. Before, hers had been purple to match Mira and Zoey’s. But ever since that fateful day in the stadium…
“No…I wanted to set you free!”
The pain had been evident on his face. Lacerated in the glow of Gwi-ma’s hellfire. Meant for her. The mistake. Unworthy of her humanity or even the luxury of giving in to her demonic side.
They’d changed each other, Jinu and her. Left a mark that pierced deeper than Gwi-ma’s curse ever could. They’d written their names on each other’s hearts.
For all darkness, there is a light in equal measure.
But he was dead. Jinu hadn’t been cleaved by the holy light of a Huntr/x weapon; Gwi-ma had incinerated him directly. No amount of hope—no amount of her newfound empathy for demons' suffering—could bring him back to life.
That was the will of the gods.But is it? Jinu wakes to find himself not quite as dead as he'd expected, and meets a goddess with a proposition. Meanwhile, Huntr/x debuts their new album live in America. Little do they know, their mythological world is about to expand, and Rumi's past is closer than she thought.
And so is Jinu.Series

Summary
Jisung wouldn't call Hwang Hyunjin his mortal enemy, he wanted to reserve that spot for somebody more special. But it was a commonly known fact that they hated each other.
Being stuck with only Hyunjin sounds like his own personal form of hell. The fact that he's 7 years into the future is the least of his worries

Summary
“I just like kisses!” Jisung exclaimed, throwing his hands up out of frustration. “Why won’t you let me kiss you? You’re all over Seungmin on a good day but you won’t let me give you a kiss? Don’t be brophobic!”
(Or: 5 times Jisung tries to kiss Hyunjin and gets rejected, and the (1) time Hyunjin finally lets him.)

Summary
“I’m Lee Minho, by the way,” the man—Minho—says. “Thank you for the coffee.”
Seungmin is aware enough of social cues to know that this is the point when he should introduce himself. Unfortunately, however, he is, as mentioned before, exhausted. And also a little stupid.
“I’m tired,” is what Seungmin responds with, because apparently all his brain cells have vacated the premises.
Minho just laughs harder, before tugging the brim of Seungmin’s ugly work hat over his eyes.
“Cute,” Minho says, before beginning to walk out of the building. “Bye, Tired. See you next week.”
