    Summary

    "And lastly, Chef Beomgyu. Your thoughts on the dish?"

    Everyone turns their heads to look at him but he can only focus on Taehyun. He's finally looking at him. He's finally acknowledging his presence. Beomgyu needs to keep this up.

    "To be honest, I disagree completely with my fellow judges," he starts.

    Someone in the back gasps. Cameras zoom in closer on both his and Taehyun's reactions. Beomgyu can see Soobin pacing behind the lighting director, but all he can focus on are those big eyes staring straight back at him.

    "How so?" asks the host.

    "It's completely unbalanced, in my opinion. No acid to cut the sweetness, meat is overdone, and the seasoning is way too heavy for someone who calls themselves a professional," Beomgyu says. Honestly, he just rattles off the first comments he can think of, but most critiques end up sounding the same after so many competition shows.

    Taehyun remains as calm as ever. "Interesting feedback from someone who has yet to even try a bite of my dish."

    ---

    A surprise twist to a cooking competition show forces rival celebrity chefs Kang Taehyun and Choi Beomgyu to work together despite their well documented hatred for each other.

    Summary

    “Let’s divorce, Soobin.” Yeonjun repeated. “When I’ll be discharged I’ll take care of everything.”

    “Let’s try to fix it again, hyung.” Soobin’s desperation was prominent in his eyes, in his cracking voice. “We can do this.”

    “Soobin,” Yeonjun sighed, as if he was tired from explaining something obvious. “We tried it so many times, and still nothing.”

    “A month,” Soobin gasped out.

    "One month what?” Yeonjun frowned.

    “Give me a month to make you fall in love with me again, hyung."

    Thirty days, it seemed to be enough. Earlier it took half a year to make Yeonjun’s heart melt, but Soobin really hoped that somewhere inside, there was still a little flame of love towards him. Love, Yeonjun tried to throw away. If only Soobin could protect it against expiration and ignite it a little more, then maybe they could go back again.
    Or

    Soobin and Yeonjun try to gather their shattered hearts and make it works again just for a month.

    Summary

    “Guys, what does submissive and breedable mean?” Beomgyu asks the others, squinting at his phone screen to make sure he’s reading the words out right. Semi-right. Close enough, either way.

    From somewhere across the room, Yeonjun chokes. Loudly.

    Beomgyu offers up his dignity in exchange for getting the upper hand in his and Yeonjun’s little game of embarrassing each other. (The results are even better than expected.)

    Summary

    You've seen it. A fic formatted like a classified document. A chapter that looks like a real social media feed. An interactive game, somehow, inside an AO3 work. You clicked the kudos button. You thought: how.

    This is the tutorial that answers that.

    A beginner-friendly guide to HTML and CSS on AO3 — no prior coding experience required. By the end of this series, you'll know enough to write formatted fics, build your own workskins, style your entire AO3 interface, and maybe make something that makes other people stop and think how.

    Summary

    “Do you like him?”

    “What?”

    “The pretty man from the fight,” Beomgyu says. “Yeonjun.”

    “I don't know. I think he's pretty.”

    “Just like Velvet?”

    Soobin hums, closing his eyes. It's late. The Pit is dozing off too. He feels a little delirious. “Yeah, just like Velvet.”

    Soobin finds himself infatuated with two men at the same time: Yeonjun, the fighter who takes his title as the victor, and Velvet, the stripper from the up-and-coming Red Vice.
