➼ The Island by andybean92

info
im/wonho; 23.1k; 3/3; incomplete

summary
Monsta X newly debuted and still feeling animosity towards Changkyun head to an island for some filming. But a storm blows through and traps them there. It wouldn't be so bad if a crazed serial killer was picking off the crew. the murders resemble one that happened on the island 23 years prior and the similarities between the killer and Im Changkyun is just much of an coincidence. Is Monsta X's maknae a killer or will be another victim.

info
im & everyone; 20.0k; 12/?; incomplete

summary
"Why would they believe you, huh? I’ve seen the way they treat you; they don’t care.”

he used to always hear stories of trainees being abused and taken advantage of, just for the promise of achieving their dreams. he could never understand how someone could live with that, just to have their 15 minutes of fame - until now.

because as they say, you don’t know how it feels until it happens to you.

➼ We've Got Him by cherryychapstick

info
im/everyone; 32.8k; 4/4; complete

summary
“Why didn’t you say anything?” Minhyuk asked gently. Changkyun looked up, eyes questioning. Asking for clarification. “About being sick. We could have kept you at home yesterday if we tried hard enough.”

“You never tell us hyungs anything. Always hiding how you’re doing, aish,” Kihyun tutted with a gentle smile, just so Changkyun knew he was teasing.

Changkyun glanced sideways at him, eyes already slipping shut. “I didn’t have much of a chance to hide it from you yesterday. I woke up with a cold and was knocked off a boat like four hours later.”

“Kihyun’s point is, we’re here to take care of you because we want to and we love you,” Minhyuk cooed, combing his fingers through Changkyun’s hair.

Hyungwon didn’t say anything, but began rubbing Changkyun’s shoulder to show his support for Minhyuk’s statement. Changkyun’s eyes fell closed.

It wasn’t clear if Changkyun believed Minhyuk. Kihyun honestly didn’t know if Changkyun would ever believe them.

Changkyun has a cold. And then he falls off a boat. He gets worse. His hyungs worry.

changkyun gets so fucken sick lmao

info
im/kihyun, hyungwon/wonho, shownu/minhyuk, jooheon/gunhee; 131.5k; 19/19; complete

summary
At least he had made it to class on time. At least he wasn't missing his first class on the first day. Because that would've been just awkw--

"Good morning, and welcome to Programming and Problem Solving, part one," the lecturer began.

Changkyun froze, his prescribed anthology of Shakespeare’s Sonnets readily at hand, eyes wide, and voiced a small, extremely heartfelt, “Fuck.”

my notes
FAVORITEEEEEEE also i love the socmed esque experience it's so well done and funny and also angst

➼ Clean Eyes by danyflower, Eunmih

info
im/kihyun, hyungwon/wonho, jooheon/minhyuk; 376.7k; 35/35; complete

summary
One night, a full moon,
Clean eyes and a pure soul.
One touch, too soon,
One kiss as dark as coal.

When Kihyun gets dragged to a Halloween party by his inexplicably unlucky best friend, his life is saved and turned completely upside down by a stranger who calls himself a demon. A stranger with who Kihyun shares an intrinsic, intangible connection, who makes sense of the shadows and the truth Kihyun can no longer pretend isn't there.

my notes
this shit is so life changing

➼ Inhale. Exhale. Repeat. by GrimWednesday

info
im/wonho, im/kihyun, wonho/kihyun, minhyuk/shownu; 32.5k; 3/3; complete

summary
It had been a month and a half since No.Mercy ended, and honestly, Changkyun still felt like an outsider. He didn't expect this to change any time soon.

X

Changkyun kept staring at the rice on the table and the stray bits that had landed on his lap. If he spoke up, he got in trouble, and if he was quiet he would still get in trouble. Damned if he did, damned if he didn’t. Either way you looked at it, Changkyun was screwed.

my notes
any fic with no.mercy premise is automatic win

➼ Lacuna. by mini_cutie

info
im/everyone; 38.7k; 26/?; incomplete

summary
(n.) a blank space, a missing part.

Changkyun wasn’t stupid. He knew that he would never fit in with Monsta X, not the same way Seokwon would’ve or the same way Gunhee would’ve. After all, they all have something that Changkyun does not have: history. For trainees, history bonds groupmates.

They didn’t know Changkyun, didn’t know his history. To them, Changkyun was a mystery. Though he had always loved mysteries, not everyone wanted to take the effort in solving them. Maybe that was the problem. Every one of their members were puzzle pieces with familiar edges that fit together. Changkyun was the only one left out, was a mystery, something intangible, uncertain. He couldn’t fit.
