The Book
The project brings together stories by YunJae authors and puts them into book form. The book is approximately 400 pages long, and is illustrated by the fabulous artist shigai. You won't find these stories or artworks anywhere else, they've all been written especially for this project.
The following stories will be included:
quirke (quirke) - "fleurs de mort" - R

Hoshi (age_of_dreams)- "Parallel Hearts" - NC-17
Imagine a world just like our own, but with one, fundamental difference: here hybrid creatures known as "Catfolk" live alongside humans, a difficult cohabitation aggravated by prejudices and mutual distrust.
Meet Kim Jaejoong, a country boy who moves to Seoul to chase after his dreams; once there, however, he discovers just how different things are compared to his hometown, and the chance meeting with the most unlikely trio of friends - Yoochun, Changmin and Junsu - and especially with his handsome but hostile roommate, Yunho, forces him to question everything he knew about Catfolk, love, and himself.
Sarah (anoukinparis) - "The Bench" - R
By accident, by fate, by a string of random decisions Yunho and Jaejoong die on the exact same day and end up meeting in a place that has no name, that leaves them without heartbeats. Yet that's when they really begin to live.
Isami J Mayhard (isamijae) - "Before I Go" - PG13
Six days after Yunho’s accident, Jaejoong finds a box of tapes in his mailbox. When he plays them, he hears something he thought he’ll never hear again: Yunho’s voice.
Guu (guu_dammit) - "The Way We Are" - R
Five years after a bad breakup, an unexpected encounter with Kim Jaejoong brings Yunho to deal over his past one more time. The two meet again and again, picking up the pieces of who they used to be and try to patch up a friendship that has been left behind, only to realize that time changes everything, except those things that matter the most.
