tbh i was really shocked when i saw that you wanted "no character death" in your fic, which was what I usually wrote, and I wasn't going to make it character death, but then...
Ok, tbh i had a 1k plot where Minseok is a patient in a special needs hospital and he has a rare illness which causes him to mentally age backwards while his body ages forward, and Baekhyun (who studies theatre and acting) is sent to spend time with Minseok as a "volunteer". Minseok, having lived most of his life shut in rooms, asks Baekhyun to show him what love is, just an act of pretend-love, and Baekhyun reluctantly agrees because who can refuse a dying man's last wish? As they spend more time together, Minseok having lapses in which he suddenly goes into a coma and wakes up mentally younger, skipping back the years, and he tells Baekhyun to end things while he is still capable of thinking, of knowing what love is, and Baekhyun promises, slowly starting to have his life wrapped around Minseok's. But then it's too late - he thinks, looking down at Minseok peacefully sucking his thumb, curled up in a fetal pose, and he knows that it's time but it hurts too much and he can't do it, and in the end he leaves, closing the door of Room 206 firmly behind him. Because a death doesn't have to be physical to be heartfelt, and while Baekhyun leaves Minseok's brain to degrade to a baby's, he carries the weight of the memories in his heart, trying to keep himself whole when really it feels like a part of his heart has fallen apart.
But i thought that was pushing the "no character death" limit
So i ended up with statue!minseok, and no one really (physically) died so all's well ends well! I hope you liked it, and thank you so much for your lovely prompts and for giving me so much freedom in choosing pairings! :>
