Summary
A dream. Obviously. That's where Lyla finds herself, in this make believe world where everything comes easy. With no memories of her real life, and a deep ache in her chest, all she wants to do is get home.
But it's not a dream. It's a game, created by God-knows-who, and it's trapped her here. The only way out? Find whoever needs her most, and help them. Preferably without falling in love along the way.
OR
Hassian does have a heart. It is buried beneath a mountain of defence mechanisms and hides a deep chasm of pain, but it is there, and its beat is strong.
(this summary needs work)
also please note: this fic includes real quests and dialogues from within the game, but I have taken several liberties -

Summary
It was headed for her.
He could taste the fear that gripped her.
Metallic and tangy, it seeped through the confidence she’d cloaked herself in like silk. Pungent, it stained the air between them, landing like lead on his tongue.
Her friends could not get to her, held off by his four coconspirators. Her sword alone couldn’t shield her; it would not stand against this bombardment, a culmination of Gwi-Ma’s ancient sorcery.
She was pushed back, forced to her knees. Finally, her siren song was cut short.
It was her turn to scream.
Guttural, piercing. Blood curdling.
Jinu’s veins stopped bubbling; they grew cold. Horror washed its way down his marred flesh.
Her scream slammed into him like a fist, throttling him until he choked on it.
And then the memories returned.
KPDH told from Jinu's perspective, with a focus on his story and the relationship he forges with Rumi.
I don't think we got enough angst from him, so I did it.

Summary
Riley is an EMT in New Zealand, just trying to get by, finish her paramedic papers, and work a fulfilling career on ambulance. She's also a massive Stay, something that had nothing to do with her job - until it did.
When Stray Kids finally come to perform in her home city and one of them gets hurt, she lies about not knowing them in order to keep it professional. What happens when he takes a liking to her? A simple joke about needing a personal medic sees her offered a contract she could never dream of passing up. A whirlwind of media training, jetlag, and an expectation of her speeding up her final qualification was what she expected. Falling in love with one of the members is what she had hoped. What she wasn't prepared for was being added to the SKZ lore, a mystery that frustrates Stays around the world as her one lie snowballs into a thousand.
The truth was always bound to catch up with her, but when shit hits the fan and she's locked in a contract and stuck on the other side of the world, how will she cope?
