Summary
Fast Lane To You is a high-octane Formula 1 AU where two fierce rivals—Naruto Uzumaki, the fiery underdog with everything to prove, and Sasuke Uchiha, the cold legacy driver built on control and precision—clash on and off the track. As their worlds collide through blistering speed, public obsession, and private demons, their rivalry blurs into something deeper, more dangerous. Between the roar of engines and flashing cameras, they navigate fierce competition, emotional wreckage, and the fragile line between hatred and desire. Racing isn’t just about winning anymore—it’s about finding what drives them beyond the finish line.

Summary
Jaehyun didn’t notice, but Taesan couldn’t unsee it. "Hyung," he said softly, forcing the words past his burning throat. "It’s...visible, your pants."
It wasn’t shame that stopped him from saying the word. It wasn’t disgust, it was flustered awe. He had seen something intimate, raw, private. Something he wasn’t meant to, and it left him shaken.
Jaehyun blinked, finally looking down. And then, panic, full-body panic. The kind that hijacks breath and floods the chest with dread. He looked around wildly, desperate to find something, anything. But the staff had taken everything. There was nothing left to cover himself.
"Fuck," Jaehyun whispered, more to himself than anyone else, his voice was trembling, his face had drained of color. And Taesan could see it, the anxiety unraveling him like a live wire.
(OR, Jaehyun had hated it for as long as he could remember, this "difference" that made him feel exposed, ashamed and separate from the world’s expectations of a man. But Taesan, he didn’t see it that way. In his eyes, Jaehyun was still the most beautiful being he had ever known, every part of him perfect just as it was.)

Summary
In the glittering chaos of idol life, Beomgyu is used to attention-he's charming, radiant, and never takes it too seriously. But when a younger idol, ZB1's Gunwook, compliments him live on air with surprising sincerity, it ignites something far darker in Taehyun, who's always been the composed one in their secret relationship.
As fancams spread and DMs are exchanged, Taehyun's jealousy festers into obsession. The line between love and possession begins to blur, erupting in a punishing, desperate night that leaves Beomgyu marked inside and out. What begins as a silent war over a compliment spirals into something much deeper-desire laced with fear, affection tangled in dominance, and a love that needs control to feel real.
Behind closed doors, Taehyun shows Beomgyu exactly who he belongs to.
And Beomgyu finds... he doesn't want it any other way.

Summary
Katia's stream was her safe place.
Low-key. Low-viewer. Low-risk.Until Vybehawk-streaming's golden boy-raided her mid-fishing rant and turned her quiet swamp of self-loathing into a feeding frenzy.
Chat begged him to collab with her. Then they told him to "test her."
So he did.
She left.
On stream, mid-viewer-peak.
And the internet felt it.Now, Vybe's in freefall, facing the wreckage of the persona he built and the woman who refuses to be his next "bit."
But Katia doesn't trust sudden attention.
She's lived through "new and shiny" turning into "too much and disposable" before.
If Vybe wants to be more than a spectacle, he'll have to unlearn everything that made him famous-starting with the idea that people are content.No raids.
No clickbait.
No chat as a buffer.Just him.
Just her.
Off stream.
