When Niall was younger, his mother used to tell him that he was made from the sun. That a piece of it lies within his heart and is embedded so deeply inside of him that it’s become a part of him. That Niall and the sun were one, were extensions of each other living in different parts of the galaxy. They’re both so incredibly integral to the world around them and to each other that, the only thing the sun could think to do to show Niall was to present him with a gift.
A gift that's his and his alone.
Now, Niall isn't a fool. He knows there’s no possible way the sun has ever offered him a gift. Niall knows that can’t be true. But her words have never felt wrong. Deep down, it's never felt like she’s been telling him something that might not be true, as far as his gift is concerned. Because as Niall's come to understand, there's no one in the world like him, just like there's nothing in the world like the sun.

Summary
Minho feels something tickle around his chest, blooming around his ribs, filling up all the space in there, feels like it’s perfuming his breaths and he knows it has a name. Any attempt at forming words in his mouth feels sticky, like he just can’t get the muscles to cooperate, so he says nothing. Pulling himself slightly out of their embrace, Minho leans back and just looks at Soobin, eyes raking over his soft brown eyes, the pretty curve of his lips, the marshmallow soft of his cheeks.
“You’re staring.” Soobin states, eyebrows raising almost in challenge.
“Hard not to when your face is blocking my field of vision.” -

Summary
His place was known as many things:
· Herbert
· The Cottage of Herbs
· Harry’s HouseTo Harry though, it was simply home. In fact, he had even hand stitched a bit of embroidery decor which read: When you are here, you are home. It had been a long search, but Harry had found a place to call home . . . and all that is missing now is a person who is home. He doesn’t even realize this (well maybe he sort of does) when Louis enters the picture to help Harry realize Home can be more than a place.

Summary
When Chris finally turns left on the hallway, he sees his father on the floor. There’s blood around him, a lot of it. And, crouched down beside him, is a man.
That’s all he sees; his father, the blood, and the muscles on the man’s back moving under the skin.
The chewing noise is a lot louder now.
Then it hits him; his father is being eaten.
Minho Lee is an Eater. Simple as that. He lives on the road, driving through small cities and feeding on people when he can. It has been like that all his life. He has been like that all his life.
One night, Minho slips up. He's high on adrenaline, the same one he always feels when he feeds, and that's why he doesn't hear the footsteps coming closer, he doesn't hear the heavy panting, he doesn't smell the fear. He's too entranced in the body in front of him, the meat in front of him, the strong taste he's always loved on his tongue.
That's how he meets Christopher. A bitter Non-Eater, who lived in a recluse farmhouse with an abusive father during his whole life and never knew any better.

Summary
As the conversation washes over him, Lan Zhan's attention is drawn to where Wei Ying sits in his corner. Over and over, Lan Zhan looks and then looks away, catching glimpses of Wei Ying’s high cheekbones shining in the dim light of the porch, the movement of his Adam’s apple as he sips his beer, the fall of his hair as he throws his head back to laugh. These moments feel pilfered—he won’t let himself watch for more than a second at a time, and it feels like a monumental act of self-denial. Condensation trickles down the side of his seltzer can and between his fingers, wetting his palm. He wipes his hand on his shorts, and when he looks up again, he catches Wei Ying watching him.
[Lan Zhan gets a new apartment. Wei Ying gets a new neighbor.]
