Summary
They built their lives without love.
Now they have to figure out what to do with it.
Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno meet at a time when neither of them is looking for anything more—both settled into careers, routines, and lives that make sense.
Love was never part of the plan. But some things aren’t planned.
What begins as something simple slowly becomes something deeper—something real, something steady, something worth risking everything they’ve carefully built.
Because this time… it’s not just about falling.
It’s about choosing to stay.

Summary
“I need you to burn the house down for me. In my current condition I... It’s unlikely I’ll feel any satisfaction from watching it go up in flames. Watching you having fun doing your thing... That might at least bring back some memories.”
“Living vicariously through people who still have souls?” she smirks. “Sounds healthy.”
“Yeah, well...” he shrugs. “There are a lot worse things I could be doing.”
There were. And it was just a little confusing why it was he wasn’t. The way he forcibly invited her to join him tonight notwithstanding.
“Is this you trying?”
There is a smile that suggests she might be giving him just a little too much credit. And that, yes, he saw just how funny that idea was, in context of what it was he had been doing with his life...
“Well? Do you want to watch this ridiculous place burn or not?”

Summary
Beginning a new chapter in your life is one of two things; Exciting or Unexpected.
For Marceline, it was neither. She wasn't grateful for this opportunity, she wasn't excited to work with one of the biggest K-POP groups in the world. She kept convincing herself this was something positive, something worthwhile but everything she had to leave behind stopped her from enjoying what's to come.
It pained her to just walk away, but...when she isn't given a choice and these are the consequences of her actions...How can she say no?
So here she stood, in front of the JYP Entertainment building. Her fingers clenched tightly around her bag strap. The wind blew silently against her, she took a deep breath...and began to walk towards her undesirable future.

Summary
Dahyun's will to live had already exited the building, so what was one more thing to lose. Her mind was next and with the way everything was going at the moment she really had no idea how long she would be able to do this.
Even if Dahyun didn't really believe in a future for herself anymore, she also didn't account for all the changes that got kickstarted by a certain someone with a skateboard in their hand entering her life.
What followed next was an exploration of trauma, identity, love and rebuilding of trust that neither Dahyun or Kaede would have ever expected to happen.
It would definitely be worth it though… if she bothers to stick around that is.

Little do they all know, the ship is haunted by a recently deceased couple. While they mean no harm, the same can't exactly be said about the mischievous yet obnoxious demon named Beetlejuice, who is also now haunting the Star Nomad ship, too... And, boy... Does he have plans...
