fanfiction title: winterbliss fandom: tower of god 10,800+ words, rated for teen audiences pairing: khun/bam or bam/khun written by aethereality summary: The 79th floor is an idyllic arctic wonderland. It is nicknamed the ‘Last Bastion of Peace’ in the tower, as everything above is nothing but the supremacy of the Great Families, factional power struggles, deadly floor tests, and reasons to stop climbing. For Team Bam, this calm before the storm runs two-fold. They decide to stop here and take a sorely-needed holiday. But idle time leads to idle minds, and circumstances make for an unfurling of revelations, and a questioning of resolve.

Thing is, their light bearer wasn't present to defend his anti-holiday thesis when this went down. They’re dumping the festivities on him whether he likes it or not, and his best friends are the keys to make it a holiday to remember.

fanfiction title: into the dark (formerly: lay me in the water 'til I hear no sound) fandom: tower of god 5,200+ words, rated for teen audiences pairing: khun/bam written by aethereality

summary: Khun's brain is loud. A nonstop typewriter firing words and objects to assess, evaluate, file away for reference, dismiss, scoff at cynically, day in, day out. On occasion — often because of a certain wave controller — whether for his benefit or to his detriment, it manages to fall silent.

summary: Aguero is a damned man, his end wrought by his own doing. Sent to face judgement in consecrated ritual to appease the dark spirits residing in the forests of the Khun Estate, the lambent silver-violet moon stands watch as the abyss claims him, faded stars shuddering under an ancient aureate gaze. O great forest, hark your Lord's will - Tonight another unworthy soul finds their way home, Whether to the heavens or the earth has yet to be told

summary: Rachel was long dead, done in by his hand. Unfortunately, now is Khun. But what wasn’t dead and wouldn’t die was the abhorrence, the potent vitriol, the venomous hatred, the utter revulsion both carried towards each other to the grave. The universe smiled upon them, not unkind; oh no, never unkind, and the universe gave them chances to resolve it, so that they may rest in peace - All because two Axis powers had a little argument about the plot and caught them in their crossfire.
