Summary
“I can’t let him fix my car,” Jungkook says. “Yoongi will probably fucking sabotage it or something.”
“You have no evidence to suggest that Min Yoongi is anything but professional,” Jimin snaps.
“That doesn’t matter,” Jungkook argues. “I don’t want him touching my car.”
Jimin and Taehyung exchange a look before they turn back to him. “Why not?” Taehyung asks.
Jungkook frowns and rolls his eyes. “Because he’s an asshole.”
-OR-
Jungkook lives for adrenaline, speed, the thrill of the race. There’s nothing like the freedom he feels behind the wheel, the only escape he needs when everything is too much. But when his hunger to prove himself as the best leads to losing his only outlet, he finds himself having to turn to the last person he expects for help.

Summary
“I saw this really pretty butterfly,” Taehyung says, his eyes nearly crossed as he tries to look at Yoongi’s hand on his nose. “I was following it and I didn’t even realize I wandered into the road.”
Yoongi steps back, bloodied gauze in hand. “You were following a butterfly?”
“Yes.” Taehyung sighs dreamily. “It was blue.”
If he’s being honest, this is not at all what Yoongi expected vampires to be like. He didn’t expect scary bloodsucking monsters either, nothing like that. But… well, he didn’t expect a guy who follows butterflies and seems to, maybe, be not entirely all there.
-OR-
Paramedic Yoongi meets vampire Taehyung when he gets hit by a car while following a butterfly. After being stuck in his coffin for [mumbles] years, Taehyung is a little eccentric and behind the times. Yoongi isn’t entirely sure why he offered Taehyung, who can only name three songs off the top of his head, music appreciation lessons. But inviting a vampire into his home and his life is probably no big deal. Right?

Summary
“Please,” Seokjin says after a small pause. “Just pretend to be my date for a few hours. I promise I’m not some kind of weirdo -”
“Debatable,” Yoongi cuts in.
“Come on, what do you have to lose? What do I have to do to convince you?” Seokjin gives Yoongi a smile that he’s sure is meant to make him melt. It probably sends people to their knees, smoldering and sexy.
“Stop making that face, for one,” Yoongi says. “You’re going to give me indigestion.”
-OR-
Waiter Yoongi isn’t entirely sure why he agreed to pretend to be actor Kim Seokjin’s date at a fancy gala, maybe he thought it would liven things up. He definitely didn’t intend to actually have fun, or to make out with Seokjin in a stairwell. And it’s all fine, maybe a funny story to tell later, until Yoongi wakes up with his face all over the tabloids as Seokjin’s mystery boyfriend.

Summary
“I’m working on this beautiful painting,” Taehyung explains. “But someone tried to fix up some chipped spots and they clearly didn’t have any experience. It’s a very intricate piece, all these tiny flowers, lots of tiny spots of color. None of what they used matches.”
“Did they ruin the painting?”
“I don’t think so,” Taehyung says. He shakes his head, looking thoughtful. “I don’t think anything is ever really ruined. It might not be the same as it was originally, but it can be fixed and restored. And it will still be well loved by the people who care.”
Ruined. A harsh word, like broken, useless, crushed. Yoongi often feels that way, all of these ways. And yet… Maybe he could be restored, in some way. Even if it’s not the same as before, maybe there could still be something worthwhile…
-OR-
After an accident takes everything he loved, Yoongi finds that, maybe, with the promise of spring and new beginnings, there is more to be gained than lost. Kim Taehyung’s smile blooms sweeter than the cherry blossoms in the park, and starting over might not be so daunting.

Summary
“We’re mates,” Yoongi says simply. “We’re married now, you put my coat around me. Now you’re my husband.”
“I -” Seokjin cuts himself off. He feels insane, all of this is insane. It doesn’t make sense, there’s no way Seokjin is suddenly married to a - a - seal? “That’s not how human marriage works,” Seokjin says finally, voice cracking a little. “You can’t just say we’re married.”
“Why not?” Yoongi does not seem deterred at all. “That doesn’t matter. Humans are stupid anyway. But you’re hot and you smell nice. You’ll be a good mate. With your broad shoulders, your swimming abilities must be admirable. And you can fish, a provider.” He nods, as if this is all settled. “So you’re my husband.”
-OR-
Burned out from work, famous YouTube chef Seokjin heads to winter-quiet Jeju to escape for a while. His only goals are to relax, and try to find his spark again. When he rescues a naked man on the beach, Seokjin couldn’t have predicted what he was in for. But an accidentally acquired husband in the form of soft, impish selkie Yoongi might be just what Seokjin needs.
