hae saying hyuk is the inspiration for all the songs he writes would make a cute reincarnation/alternate lives AU -> what if every other version of them hae meets has a tragic end, which causes hae clings a little too tightly to hyuk + write a bunch of songs abt his fear of being left alone

curtain!fic where hae + hyuk work together to decorate the new ODE offices would be fun -> while looking through color palettes, hyuk jokes that they're like a couple prepping for their wedding -> they realize this is as close as they'll ever get to experiencing that together

wouldn't it be cute if hae bought hyuk custom lingerie to celebrate 10 years since hyuk said he'd wear fan-gifted lingerie for hae, and hae alone -> what if we turned this into a meditation on reconciling your long term partner's change in gender expression over the years

figured out the solution, which is "does a bird even know it's a bird"

ah yeah I could totally see that. guess I'll just stick to using it for fall-winter (I usually want a chapstick with a little spf for summer anyway)

and pre-columbian cultures did not raise large domesticated animals like goats, so now I'm like OK I could keep them in the fertile crescent and switch it to sacred ibis/goat pair, or make them s american red ibis/llama or alpaca, but will the reference still come across??
