g-pg13, one sentence, varying degrees of canon/au
(prompts from 1sentence, pairings from rolling dice.)
#01 - Walking (Baekhyun, D.O.)
The journey is long on foot, but with Kyungsoo's cheerful running commentary and Baekhyun's endless well of conversation topics, it passes.
#02 - Waltz (Kris, Lu Han)
The MC instructs Kris to put his hand around Lu Han's waist as the music starts, and Kris pretends he's never thought about it before.
#03 - Wishes (D.O., Lu Han)
Kyungsoo looks across his birthday cake at Lu Han's face, then he closes his eyes tightly and blows the candles out with one breath.
#04 - Wonder (Kris, Kai)
Every night while Kris sleeps next to him, Kai finds something new to look at: the slope of his neck into his shoulder, a birthmark on his left side, a scar under his arm.
#05 - Worry (Suho, Chanyeol)
"You need a break," says Chanyeol, offering Suho his hand with a hopeful smile.
#06 - Whimsy (Xiumin, Tao)
Minseok thinks Zitao is more like a kitten than a panda: agile and fierce, but prone to flights of distraction and glee.
#07 - Waste/Wasteland (Suho, Lay)
"I can't sense the water," says Suho with a hand to the ground, and Lay puts his hand on his back, though he's not sure if he means to support Suho or himself.
#08 - Whiskey and rum (Xiumin, Baekhyun)
"I dare you to take another shot," Minseok slurs, so Baekhyun pours it out, his eyes crossing a bit, even though he knows it won't take many more to make him say the dare he's been saving up.
#09 - War (Kai, Sehun)
"Let's get you out of here," Sehun hears Kai say before his hearing fades out, and his bloodied head lolls to one side as the older boy picks him up and prepares to teleport them both.
#10 - Weddings (Chen, Kris)
At the reception, Henry's new wife has set him up with one of the bridesmaids, but it's the wedding band's Korean singer that Kris has his eye on.
#11 - Birthday (Chanyeol, Lay)
"It's good," encourages Chanyeol as Lay sniffs at the seaweed soup, and Lay doesn't know how to say that it's not the new custom he's afraid of, but Chanyeol's cooking.
#12 - Blessing (Lay, Baekhyun)
When Baekhyun looks through the mirror he can see Lay working with a dead orchid, and he watches, fascinated; though he's seen it before, every time it's like a miracle.
#13 - Bias (Suho, Baekhyun)
"I always wonder who your favourite is," says Baekhyun, and Suho shakes his head, because if Baekhyun hasn't noticed it by now, he never will.
#14 - Burning (Lu Han, Tao)
Lu Han knows exactly what to do to see the smolder in Tao's eyes.
#15 - Breathing (Sehun, Lu Han)
The night before Lu Han leaves, Sehun wakes up in the middle of the night so he can hear him breathe next to him.
#16 - Breaking (Kris, Sehun)
Sehun, to Kris, is a challenge, a test to see just how far he can go before he breaks.
#17 - Belief (Suho)
Joonmyun works hard for seven years, and when he debuts he feels not the giddy rush of winning a lottery, but the satisfaction and exhaustion of finishing a marathon.
#18 - Balloon (Lay, Tao)
Tao lets it go, and as the silver-coloured balloon rises into the air, Lay feels his troubles lifting with it as the messages tied to the string sail further and further away.
#19 - Balcony (Sehun, Xiumin)
When Minseok escapes to the balcony, desperate for a smoke, he's both surprised and not surprised to see Sehun already there, hands trembling a little as he lifts a cigarette to his lips.
#20 - Bane (Kris, Sehun)
Kris knows it's a stupid grudge to hold, but he can't help it - the day the K and M lineups are announced, as he moves past Sehun in the hallway he mutters, "Now will you give him up?"
#21 - Quiet (Suho, D.O.)
At night, when everything is still, Kyungsoo listens for Suho's heartbeat, his head to his chest, concentrating until he finds it.
#22 - Quirks (Xiumin, Chen)
Minseok thinks Jongdae makes for a fascinating science experiment: he's always surprising him, always revealing some new strange habit Minseok has yet to document.
#23 - Question (Suho, Tao)
"Joonmyun hao," Tao begins with a sly smile, and Suho watches him make the mental translation from Mandarin to Korean, already dreading what the next thing he says will be.
#24 - Quarrel (Chanyeol, Kris)
"I'm glad you're going back to China," snaps Chanyeol, but he claps his hand over his mouth the moment he's said it, and Kris's eyes are hard, impenetrable.
#25 - Quitting (Suho, Kai)
"But you can't leave," says Suho, his hand small but firm on Kai's shoulder, "because I need you."
#26 - Jump (Xiumin, Chen)
"Let's stop this nonsense," says Minseok, wheezing, as he and Jongdae collapse into a laughing heap together on the basketball court.
#27 - Jester (Chanyeol, Lay)
Chanyeol has sworn to always take Lay seriously, because he knows very well how much it hurts when nobody does.
#28 - Jousting (Kris, Baekhyun)
"For the hand of the lady Chanyeol," says Kris, and Baekhyun gives him a quizzical look as they put their elbows on the table and prepare to arm wrestle.
#29 - Jewel (Chanyeol, Kai)
The laser cutter trims through the glass easily, and Chanyeol has to physically restrain himself from giving Kai a high-five as he neatly plucks the diamond out of its case.
#30 - Just (Tao, Xiumin)
"I always thought the virtuous would be rewarded," says Tao to Xiumin as they gaze through the mirror at Baekhyun and Suho, trapped in a place they can never reach, "so is this our reward?"
#31 - Smirk (Kai, Chen)
Onstage, Kai smirks, snarls and thrusts, and Chen is graceful and reticent; but back in their dorm, it's Jongdae who presses and grinds insistently into Jongin with his lips curled in a smile, Jongin who whimpers and bends passively under his greedy hands.
#32 - Sorrow (Tao, Sehun)
Tao heals M's heartache by making everyone smile; Sehun heals K's by taking it on for them.
#33 - Stupidity (Chanyeol, Sehun)
When he sees Chanyeol walk away from the computer angrily, Sehun wishes he could take back all the times he's called him an idiot, out of frustration or otherwise, because he knows they're not the only ones calling him that now.
#34 - Serenade (Tao, Kris)
In the van, Tao leans his head on Kris's shoulder, pretending to be asleep as he hears Kris softly hum a melody he doesn't recognize.
#35 - Sarcasm (Suho, Kris)
"Yes, I love it when you take all day," Kris drawls from the bed, and Suho's hand fumbles at his zipper, even more nervous than he was before.
#36 - Sordid (Lu Han, Chanyeol)
It's their shared secret, quiet and dirty and thrilling, and it leaves Lu Han light-headed.
#37 - Soliloquy (Chanyeol, Baekhyun)
Chanyeol thinks it's absurd that Baekhyun's been chosen as the lead in the school play - obnoxious goofball Baekhyun, of all the choices to play Romeo - but when he sees him onstage, delivering the famous lines to Juliet in a voice that's solemn and earnest, he falls for him too.
#38 - Sojourn (Lu Han, Tao)
After two days with him travelling through the Tibetan mountains in search of the crystal, Tao begins to see why Lu Han is so useful to have around.
#39 - Share (Sehun, Xiumin)
"No," says Minseok firmly, knowing full well the arrangement Sehun's about to propose, "absolutely not."
#40 - Solitary (Kris, Baekhyun)
Don't try to find me, Kris' last note had read; Baekhyun chose to interpret it as a challenge.
#41 - Nowhere (Baekhyun, D.O.)
"So where are we going?" asks Kyungsoo as Baekhyun starts the car's ignition, and Baekhyun concentrates on turning on the dashboard and the headlights, avoiding the finality of an answer.
#42 - Neutral (Lu Han, Xiumin)
"I can never tell what you're thinking, Minseokie," Lu Han purrs, wrapping his arms around the detective's shoulders from behind, but Minseok merely sips his drink, unswayed.
#43 - Nuance (Baekhyun, Lu Han)
Korean isn't Lu Han's first language, but it doesn't take an expert to interpret the shift of tone in Baekhyun's voice whenever he sees him.
#44 - Near (Xiumin, Kai)
Every time, Minseok forgets why everyone loves Kai until he stands next to him, and then when he does he's the only thing Minseok can concentrate on.
#45 - Natural (D.O., Suho)
When they kiss in the kitchen of their dorm while the others are out, it feels like it could be the hundredth time as easily as it could be the first.
#46 - Horizon (Xiumin, Chen)
Minseok joins Jongdae on the balcony of their Beijing dorm, and he leans his arms on the railing next to him as they both look out in the direction of home.
#47 - Valiant (Kai, Chen)
"To be honest," says Kai, as Chen helps him down from the wall, "I thought my knight would be a little bit...taller."
#48 - Virtuous (Chen, Baekhyun)
"Have you been good while I was away?" murmurs Chen, and Baekhyun gasps a yes as he kisses his neck.
#49 - Victory (Xiumin, Kai, Lay)
Xiumin knows the battle is far from over, but the fact that Kai has managed to get to them, has found a way into the cold, over-ornate room he and Lay have been trapped in, feels like a small victory already.
#50 - Defeat (Kai, Tao, Suho)
"Zitao, please," says Suho in his gentlest voice, but Kai knows it won't do anything: the time controller is possessed, and they're no longer his friends.
