About

"If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more."

"What is grief, if not love persevering?"

"You kept me like a secret but I kept you like an oath"

Calling all readers, lovers of poetry and music, screen and stage. Quote collecters and lyric hoarders, unleash your archive. Each prompt must contain a quote - you can combine them, add commentary, link to articles, and more. Steal from a literary classic, or WeVerse drama. Have fun!


Examples


Minghao + Ocean Vuong
The most beautiful part of your body
is where it's headed. & remember,
loneliness is still time spent
with the world.

Ocean Vuong - night sky with exit wounds

Hoshi/Anyone; "Beauty is terror"
Thinking about these two quotes together and the idea of on/off-stage personas:

"Beauty is terror. Whatever we call beautiful we tremble before it. And what could be more terrifying or beautiful, to the Greeks to to our own, than to lose control completely?" - Donna Tartt, the Secret Histories

"I am calm in everyday life but when I put on my in-ear device and step on stage, I can feel the tension and hear the cheers getting louder as the music gets louder. When the staff tells me it's time to step on stage, I feel something boil inside me. I feel it steaming inside and I think I have to give a burst of something, spill what is inside me." - Hoshi in Hit the Road Ep. 04


Any ship; "It's been so many years"
Hello, hello there, is this Martha?
This is old Tom Frost
And I am calling long distance
Don't worry 'bout the cost.
'Cause it's been forty years or more
Now Martha please recall
Meet me out for coffee
Where we'll talk about it all.

Tom Watts - Martha

Thinking of how a lack of passion doesn't mean a lack of love or life. Even how passion may be a lack of freedom to explore.

I like walking around the streets, but also sleeping in my room. I like to play games, and read books. So I'm not deep into a specific thing. I think I like to do many things lightly. I like to experience a lot of things, rather than focusing on just one and I don't like the feeling of being trapped,

Prompt:
I heard that Seungkwan shared stories about the Christmas gift I gave him. It's very unfair. It's not that I didn't think about it. I thought about it a lot... I debated on whether I should buy this or that... Wouldn't it be better if Seungkwan bought whatever he wanted? Because it's Seungkwan. Because Boo Seungkwan is that kind of person to me, that's why I gave a gift like that. (Stares into space for 10 seconds) Anyways, it's unfair. These days, on community sites, there are friends who send Christmas gifts of 125,000 won, 122,500 won... That's possible because it's between couples. We're Seungkwan and Mingyu.
Mingyu in this vlive, @ 8:32 (Transcribed from the vlive subtitles, there doesn't seem to be any other translations of this). A fun note is that the word Mingyu uses that is translated as "couples" is 연인, lover.

Also of relevance here maybe :)

***

The end of the world doesn’t look quite like Minghao expects. For one, it’s too bright, too many lights. For another, there are too many trees and too much wildlife; it was a definite far cry from the nuclear wasteland everyone thought the world would end with. He’s always thought that by the time humanity managed to lay waste to the Earth, they would have also stripmined her of all her resources, dug out her cores and left her hollow.

Nobody could have expected the monsters that came from the sky and sea instead.

Nobody thought they would live to survive it but by some miracle, scientists managed to produce a way to generate contained nuclear fusions, an infinite source of energy. It was the breakthrough advancement of the century, the lightning in the bottle innovation that changed the course of a war. Minghao has no doubt that without it, there wouldn’t be any humanity left to puzzle at the state of their world now.

But no war was without consequences and even with hulking metal robots powered by the same reaction that burns through the sun, they were still fighting creatures of never-before-seen proportions and strength and someone had to pilot those mechs. The government set up training centers and strategic strongholds, recruited the most promising pilots the army and civilian population had to offer, the ones who were ready to die for god and country. Recruits were taught to look death in the eye and take the swing anyways, that it was an honor to be shot out of the sky like Icarus too close to the sun.

None of them were taught what to do if they survived. None of them truly expected to survive.




Minghao had never meant to start piloting at all but Junhui had turned out to be a phenom in the sims and Minghao would have followed him anywhere, would have died for him like other men would have died for god and country. They endure basics together, huddled in their shared dorm trading stories about their terrifying sergeant, and live out of each other's pockets as much as possible through training.

The first time they actually get to pilot real mechs is a revelation for them both, Junhui whooping into his comms the entire time while Minghao is simply too breathless to scream. It’s also the first time they kiss, wide eyes and fumbling, high off the adrenaline of rocketing through the sky defying all laws of physics.

It becomes a sort of routine; Minghao and Junhui fly thirteen missions together and against all odds, they make it home together every time. They fly together, eat together, sleep together; they trade messy desperate kisses when they survive, just to remember that they were alive together, that they aren’t one of the many who had fallen to the seemingly endless siege of monsters from god knows where.

It becomes a sort of ritual; everytime, Minghao looks at Junhui, the curve of his eyes and the dip in his smile, and thinks desperately I love you. I love you. I love you. Until the words become stuck in his lungs, caught in between his teeth. Everytime, he swallows his words, the things he’s not allowed to want and cannot hope to have in these hopeless times.

“They want me to go on a flight alone,” Junhui says one day, “Not a fight, just a recon patrol.”

Minghao frowns. Junhui was the most talented pilot they had but everyone knew that solo recon patrols were too dangerous, researchers only beginning to unravel the monster behavior patterns.

“Why aren’t they sending anyone with you?” Minghao asks.

Why aren’t they sending me with you?

Junhui shrugs, “Too many pilots lost in the last fight, they don’t want to risk anymore people.”

Please don’t go, Minghao wants to say.

“Come back safe.” Minghao says.




The base never even recovers the mech in the end.





Seokmin and Mingyu are the only pilots who dual pilot a mech. Minghao meets them shortly after Junhui’s funeral and they fall in together almost immediately, bonded by age and pre-army interests and a kindred grief. Neither of them ask Minghao about Junhui but they know, everyone knows.

Watching Seokmin and Mingyu work is a marvel. Unlike Minghao and Junhui, who never were even in a mech together, the two of them never seemed to agree on anything. Mingyu purposely leaves out Seokmin’s laundry in spite when he’s cleaning their dorm and Seokmin likes to wait until Mingyu answers any question just to respond in the negative. They can never agree on anything for lunch, are constantly arguing over which is the best flavor of ice cream, and yet, Minghao has never seen any pair like them.

They speak in half spoken sentences, a foreign language born out of knowing someone so intimately you can tell their thoughts from the tilt of their head, the flicker in their eyes. Seokmin is always reaching for Mingyu, leaning towards him, seeking him out in a crowd; actions so practiced they are now more instinct than thought and Mingyu reciprocates everytime.

It was impossible for Minghao not to be drawn into their orbit, for their presence to fill in the cracks of his ribs like kintsugi, mending along the frayed edges of his loss.

When the researchers announce that the number of monsters were dwindling, their numbers no longer replenishing each time one falls, the three of them celebrate the news together.

“I want to build a house by the beach, after all this is over.” Minghao tells Seokmin and Mingyu, heart hammering in his chest with hope.

Mingyu tilts his head and says, more than a little amused, “At the beach? With all the fighting over the water we’ve done?”

He never asks if he or Seokmin is invited, if this would be a house for the three of them. He knows it is.

Minghao nods and Mingyu says, “Alright. We’ll build a house by the beach.”

“With a dog, we need to have a dog.” Seokmin says, sounding absolutely convinced that this house by the beach would not be perfect without a terrier nipping at their heels.

Minghao laughs and says, “We’ll also have a dog.”




Minghao hears it when they are ripped out of the sky, comm link a static shock before falling silent.




So the world hadn’t actually ended, but Minghao sits on the ledge of his cockpit and thinks of everyone who hadn’t made it back to him, the ones who hadn’t made it home. He thinks of Mingyu and Seokmin and Junhui. He thinks about the house on the beach, the dog, the words he never said caught in his throat like needles.

He thinks of what it might have been like to die with them.

***

Soonyoung raps his gloved fingers against the bulletproof glass, smiling to himself.

“The Seventeen Carats is safe,” he says lowly, eyeing the painting on the other side of the screen. He chuckles as Seungkwan’s sigh vibrates in his ear, his familiar voice coming through the comms.

“Keep an eye on it, still. Just in case.”

Soonyoung turns around, his eyes surveying the empty museum room. He scoffs.

“Who do you take me for? Of course I’m going to…”

A soft crash calls for his attention, his senses on high alert as he turns towards the sound.

It’s not what he expects.

“Fuck,” he says, eyeing the person tumbling down from a hole in the wall to softly land on his feet, graceful as ever.

“What’s up? Trouble?”

The man on the other side of the glass smiles at Soonyoung, all pretty cat-like eyes and white teeth.

“Uh,” Soonyoung intelligently says, watching as the figure clad in black gets closer to the screen. “Kind of. I’ll call you back in a minute.”

“Soon-” Soonyoung cuts the connection before Seungkwan can even say his full name, eyes glued on the man standing on the other side of the room.

“You look good,” Joshua’s voice comes muffled from the protection of the bulletproof glass, his smile sharp enough to make Soonyoung’s skin crawl. “Been working out?” He asks, walking up to where Soonyoung is standing, crestfallen.

“No,” he immediately replies. “Uh, I mean. Kinda.”

“I can tell,” Joshua says, dragging his clawed fingers against the inside of the glass, the sound making Soonyoung physically recoil.

“What the hell are you doing here?”

“What do you think?” Joshua says, winking at Soonyoung. His moves are as fluid as water as he stands on his tiptoes to detach the painting from the wall.

“Aren’t you tired of stealing art?” Soonyoung asks, looking for a way in, a break through to stop Joshua from committing yet another theft.

“Who said I’m here for the art?”

It’s a flash of movement - Joshua is strong, stronger than Soonyoung would be without his powers. The canvas is broken in half in front of Soonyoung’s disbelieving eyes.

“I was looking for this.”

There’s a small space between the painted side and the back, an alcove so thin that Soonyoung knew nothing about. Joshua shakes one half of the broken painting, then the other. A small plastic bag tumbles out of it.

“Ah, there they are.”

Something sparkles between Joshua’s fingers. It takes a moment too long for Soonyoung to realize that it’s diamonds - real diamonds, at least twenty of them. Joshua’s grin grows, the black mask around his eyes doing nothing to cover the rest of his handsome face.

“Sorry, spidey. I can’t stay for a chat.”

“Josh-” Soonyoung starts, but Joshua raps his claws against the glass. “Look behind you,” he says, pointing at something behind Soonyoung’s shoulder. As distracted as he was from Joshua’s sudden appearance, Soonyoung missed the footsteps of the two men standing behind him, guns raised.

“See you, Soon,” Joshua cackles, as the sound of the first bullet being fired rings in the air.

It’s more than two men, it turns out. It’s a whole small army, and by the time Soonyoung has managed to immobilize them all with his webs, Joshua is already long gone.

Seungkwan yaps in his ears, annoyed by the sudden radio silence, - “I was worried, you prick,” - but all Soonyoung can think of is the ghost of a man he hasn’t seen in too long.

🕷

When they meet again, Soonyoung is on his back before he can even blink, a kick to his gut that he wasn’t expecting upon opening a fire exit door.

“Fancy meeting you again, spider,” Joshua says as he straddles him, claws ready, eyes ablaze.

Soonyoung is a bit too distracted with the low cut of his suit to reciprocate the greeting, the naked expanse of tan skin making his head spin more than the roundhouse kick that got him to the ground.

“What is it, cat got your tongue?” Joshua taunts, claws dangerously close to the hollow of Soonyoung’s throat.

It’s just like a game of cat and mouse, and Soonyoung is always on the losing end.

“Joshua.” Soonyoung finally regains part of his composure when he notices the self-satisfied smile on Joshua’s face. “Where are the diamonds? You’re playing with dangerous people.”

“Aw, but I like to play.”

The punch that Joshua tries to land on his face is barely avoided just thanks to his spider senses. He rolls out from below Joshua, managing to miss his brass knuckles by an inch.

“I missed you,” Joshua says, pouting in his direction as he fixes his short white hair by running his fingers through it. “It feels like old times.”

“You tried to kill me,” Soonyoung reminds him, snarling. “More than once.”

“That’s why I said, just like old times.”

The stunning grenade comes out of nowhere, launched at his chest with too much force to avoid it. Soonyoung stumbles back as it goes off, his ears ringing, his eyes watering as gas clouds his vision.

“Fuck,” he says, hearing Joshua’s taunting laugh growing closer.

“See you around, spider boy,” it says, but when Soonyoung fully regains his senses there’s not a single trace of him.

“Fuck,” he repeats, eyes moving left and right, but to no avail. He sees his own reflection on one of the glass panels of the door - there’s a heart cut through the front of his suit, on his chest, clawed with careful precision.

“Seungkwan’s gonna kill me,” Soonyoung tells himself, and then he’s gone, swinging into the night in hope of finding an inkling of where his past lover has disappeared to.

🕷

Running behind a cat between roofs isn’t an easy task - that’s why Soonyoung is almost out of breath when he finally catches sight of white hair and a black-clad ass that he would recognize anywhere.

“Stop!” Soonyoung yells into the night, but Joshua is jumping away yet again, agile and fast. Soonyoung runs behind him, but Joshua stays always ahead.

Before he can overthink it, Soonyoung is shooting a spiderweb into the night. It sticks to Joshua’s calf, and he manages to drag him down from his jump, his body hitting the cement of the roof with a loud thud, sliding against the wet surface until he’s falling off the edge.

Soonyoung is on him in an instant, hand outstretched to catch his wrist, making him dangle off the side of the building as he sticks to the roof.

“Can we talk now, like humans?”

Joshua looks up at him, eyes big behind the mask. There’s not a single drop of fear in his gaze, despite the fall that awaits him if Soonyoung lets go of him.

After all this time, Joshua still trusts him with his life.

“You know we’re anything but that.”

It’s astounding how Joshua still manages to catch him by surprise. With incredible ease - and an amount of flexibility that has Soonyoung thinking impure thoughts - the Black Cat is using his body as some sort of ladder to land himself back on the roof, safe and sound, on his own two feet.

“You need to give me those diamonds,” Soonyoung tells him, sitting on his heels to catch his breath. “They’re gonna land you in trouble.”

“Oh, you’re such a generous soul, Soon.” Joshua is right next to him, crouching down to his level. His fingers gently caress the side of his masked face, longing in his gaze when it drops to Soonyoung’s covered lips. “Always a knight in shining armor.”

Before he can stop himself, Soonyoung’s hand is covering Joshua’s, his fingers filling the spaces between Joshua’s own.

“I missed you, too,” he confesses in a whisper, shaky. Joshua smiles at him, squeezing his hand back.

“I’m sorry,” Joshua whispers, his mouth a breath away from Soonyoung’s. His eyes are so big and dark, and Soonyoung is so fucked.

The punch comes out of nowhere, hard against his nose, making him recoil backwards.

Then, he’s falling, the sole of Joshua’s boot landing against his chest and making him fly backwards, off the side of the building, down towards the hard ground, down, down.

Betrayal stings just as much as Joshua’s lips briefly pressing against his own before he’s kicked to his defeat.

no but the contrast between soonyoung never thinking of consequences and wonwoo always thinking, always thinking too much. i liked this Very Much. it represents them very well, the way they're so different but complementary!!
“Isn’t it more interesting, to fall first, and see who would catch you?” what a great line!!!!!!

ah, my heart, fuck. the descriptions of all the past lovers and why it never worked out with them are so well done (i loved the metaphor about seokmin, the sun and the absence of sunglasses, it feels so fitting.) it's very jeonghan, considering love a ruthless game, but wanting to find someone he can be loved by, and whom he can love. this feels so warm and hopeful!
