Summary
Just a collection of short stories, and new or remade commercials. Sometimes items are canonical (to my story) other times I write them for fun. As for which are which, or how you go about reading this in order, I'll leave that up to you. I'm just along for the ride.

Summary
“Do you like it?” He asked, doing a little twist in his hips to show off more of the outfit.
Kai’s jaw, which had been smack bang on the floor, stuttered into forming a sentence, “Wh–what–why–how? How are you working with that thing on?”
Beomgyu pursed his lips, staring directly into his soul as he ripped his arms off his shoulders, flailing them around like an understimulated kid, “Velcro. I’m not actually trapped. Just getting good use of the costume.”
Narrowing his eyes, Kai nodded, “Right, and why exactly are you dressed up like this?”
“Because,” he shoved his face in front of Kai’s, their noses touching, ”I’m crazy for you.”
OR
Kai's boyfriends are wilder than he thought.

Summary
Tyler has his routine down to a science: piano lessons, minimum-wage shifts at the movie theater and diner, and just enough sarcasm to keep people at arm’s length. He wears masks for every role, and none of them are really him.
Except maybe a physical mask and an anonymous voice behind raw, unfiltered music.
Josh is new in town, somehow orbiting all the same places Tyler tries to disappear into, and worse, he seems genuinely interested.

Neither set out to befriend the other but it happens anyway, almost without them realizing it.

Not only do they now have each other, but they have the close-knit community of Copper Creek and a little diner called The Spitfire Grill.

Summary
"Do you think all of her dates know that Lucy only comes here for the root beer floats?"
Schroeder shrugged, his eyes still on the dark-haired girl as she talked to her current flavour of the week, waving her hands around in that over exaggerated way she usually did and making the bastard laugh.
"How should I know?"
"Aren't you her waiter?"
"Always."

Summary
Four months ago, Jisung was alone, overworked and underpaid, and determined to deal with life by himself, however shitty it might get. But Chan and Changbin shook his world up, and his walls didn't come down but now there were doors. Two months later, their threesome doubled into a pack, and with Hyunjin, Seungmin, and Jeongin in the mix, Jisung's heart is full. And the sex is great too!
But just after Christmas, Changbin found Felix in the woods, starving, dehydrated, covered in cuts and bruises, and freezing to death, and the pack took him in. They want to find out who he is, who's hunting him, but he doesn't say much. He's sweet and cute, though, so they try to work around that.
Until a biker comes into the Diner. Is he one of the ones that Felix was running from? Or will he have all the answers they have about him?
Who is after Felix? And why? Who is this mysterious blue haired man? Who does he work with? What do they do? Jisung has more questions than answers as time goes on.
And then, the men chasing Felix come to town and the entire pack gets involved in the takedown of a sex trafficking ring. Big job for a graveyard server from a little town in the middle of nowhere.
