#joongdok and #plotja au where yjh is emperor sp’s son and a decorated general!! Sp isn’t really a doting father, but he is a fair leader who doles out rewards when necessary. Seeing how yjh is performing extremely well in the current war, sp decides his son deserves a reward—
for all those victories. He thinks about the pretty court dancer with slender wrists and delicate ankles that his son is often seen with—kdj, if he remembers right.

Kdj would make a very good reward for yjh. That picky child will definitely be happy with this—
little gift.

Sp begins to bring kdj closer, to prepare to present him as a wife for his son—except kdj is so soft and so pliant under even the most innocent of touches. He’s witty and unafraid, always giving sp a mischievous smile during their time together. When kdj laughs at—
smth sp says—all red cheeked and crescent eyed—the emperor thinks he should reward himself as well.

Kdj will become sp’s new wife—yjh’s stepmother. The dancer will look stunning in the dark colours of the imperial family, body decorated with jewellery as precious as he.
Sp is a wise emperor, but he is also a mortal man.
The war ends and yjh finds them both in bed when he passes by to give his greetings. His words die out at the sight of kdj—the man he has pined after for years and years—contentedly asleep in sp’s arms.

Of course yjh is against this, surely his oh so great father is aware—
of what kdj means to him.

“That is precisely why things are the way they are,” SP says, terribly amused and unrepentant as he cradles kdj’s bare and marked body.

Yjh burns with all the rage cultivated in the war but stays his hand. As he is, he will lose.
Sp may not have raised yjh, but he knows the way his son grits his teeth and tenses his muscles in restrained obstinacy. As a child of his line and of war, sp realises he feels something akin to fondness.

Besides, he is not so ungracious as to leave great deeds unrecognised.
Once yjh stops being petulant, sp will share.

i want some noona!ysa and dongsaeng!kdj again so!! au where ysa is trying to get out of a blind date, so her friend jhw recommends a smth that could help out—a rent a younger sibling for a day service!! jhw already tried it bcs she was bored and recommends the little brother
she hung out with: kdj ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

“He’s a little odd,” jhw had said, like it’s the best thing to be—and it is, ysa thinks. “You’ll like him for sure!”

Ysa trusts jhw, mostly, so she tries the service a few days before her dreaded blind date and establishes some rapport with
the dongsaeng jhw recommended. Of course, she hopes the date goes relatively alright, but. Well. It’s a good thing she signed up because the man before her is inspiring all sorts of murderous thoughts.

Almost as soon as her text for help is read, kdj storms into the restaurant.

WAIT au where kdj was inspired by yjh’s no-nonsense attitude towards his enemies and decides that kids like his bullies shouldn’t be coddled by society. Rather than fade into the background and try to survive, kdj decides he needs to thrive and attain enough power to save other
kids like him—or at least enough power to punish people who should be. At first he thinks about becoming a teacher, but that position lacks authority. Maybe a policeman? No, he lacks the physique for it.

A judge, kdj decides, he will become a judge who will treat children that
think they can commit adult crimes without facing the consequences.

“Stop.” Kdj cuts into the juvenile offender’s blubbering, spotting the exact moment he decides to start the crocodile tears. “I’ve heard enough.”

“P-pansa-nim?” The boy peeks through his fingers, eyes shiny

joongdok a/b/o au where kdj was about to be beaten up by his bullies on the way home when an alpha in all black and a matching motorcycle helmet beats them off. he’s a big guy, all broad shoulders and muscled arms kdj can see when the alpha drapes his leather jack over him
“You live far from here?” the alpha asks; his voice is a low and smooth timbre beneath the helmet.

“N-no. I live just around the corner.” Kdj responds, surprised still by the jacket over his head. The warmth seeps into him like he’s never known it his entire life.
“Good.” Nodding, the alpha looks over his shoulder to kdj’s bullies laying in a disgraceful sprawl. “Go home. They won’t follow you.”

Kdj’s heart stutters at the words. Bowing, kdj says, “Yes! Thank you so much!”

The last kdj sees of the alpha is him giving a casual wave.

went for a drive today and imagined a no scenarios au of kdj trying to learn how to drive. at first he tries to get yjh to teach him, but yjh is. himself. that means a lot of out of context instructions, hit-and-miss descriptions, expectations that kdj understands what yjh does.
obviously, it doesn’t go well. kdj tries, but each barb makes yjh frustrated and kdj defensive, maybe even self-pitying. it’s horrible, but kdj tries to suck it up bcs yjh is setting aside time to teach him. the least kdj can do is be a good student and get it.

but he doesn’t.
yjh tells him to stop at the side of the road, which he can’t even do right. the car isn’t straight, he almost hit the gutter, and he fumbled shifting from drive to neutral. forgets to put up the hand break, too.

“Stop. Just. Don’t drive. Switch with me,” yjh says. his words are

“Fine. From the moment we get back and I sign these—“ kdj throws the divorce papers against yjh’s chest— “we will have absolutely nothing to do with each other.”

Yjh fixes him with a glare, uncaring of the papers scattering at their feet. Somehow, kdj finds it in himself to
admire how handsome his future ex-husband’s is—has always been.

“What is ours will return to being what is just yours and just mine.” Kdj adjusts his watch: a battered thing he bought with money he earned with his own two hands, not with whatever yjh’s secretary deposits into
the bank account the Yoo family set up for him out of propriety. Whatever is there has remained untouched for years. “It will be like we never married in the first place.”

Kdj turns to leave before yjh can get a word in just as he remembers something.

“You are loved,” yjh insists, voice cracking and desperate as he holds kdj’s face between his palms. “Kim Dokja, do you hear me? You are loved—“

Kdj’s sobs cut off the words. It—his sorrow, his denial, his wavering hope—drowns out the words.

“How—“ kdj shakes his head and holds
yjh’s wrists— “why?”

“Because,” yjh brings their foreheads together—it’s something like a rendition of prayer, “because you fool, I love you.”

“Yoo—“

“I love you.” Yjh reiterates and kdj feels so, so small beneath his calloused fingers. Why, he wonders, does yjh hold him like
a precious treasure? Why does yjh say these words so easily, so assuredly, as if kdj is deserving? “There is nothing in all the worldlines that I more sure of than that.”

Kdj hiccups and shuts his eyes. There is a kiss, feather-light, pressed against each of his eyelids.
