CARNIVAL AU

I wanted to try my own take at a sort of "swap au " :3! though-- it's more a "role swap" than anything else, haha!

In the quiet moments in-between everything, Yoo Joonghyuk looks to Kim Dokja. Or: Yoo Joonghyuk just wants to care for Kim Dokja if only he’d stay still for a goddamn second.

joongdok, 2.7k; an orv fic about gentleness.

also on ao3, with author’s notes if you want to read that sort of thing.

. . .

Yoo Joonghyuk is not used to being soft. His hands are made for breaking things, not saving them; he has never been able to save anyone, including himself. The lives he’s lived, going back to that fateful day the world ended, have made him cold and cruel. There is a distance between him and the rest of the world that no one can cross.

He walks this world alone. He knows better than to expect anyone to keep up with him.

He knows better than to get attached.

But Kim Dokja, impossible and unpredictable, forced his way into Yoo Joonghyuk’s life and declared them companions. And suddenly Yoo Joonghyuk is not the one walking ahead of everyone else, alone; now, he chases after Kim Dokja, time after time, reaching for him, always a step behind.

Kim Dokja is here, in this regression, and that is all that matters.

been thinking about an elaborate au-kinda-but-mostly-canon-retelling thing. One of the things i was thinking about was incorporating Green getting injured in Origins, but with lasting consequences of having a giant 200lb turtle slammed against him at mach speeds instead of just magical full recovery offscreen. Disabled rep is so rare so I like to fit it where I can lol

more on the story though, this is like ~16 months or so after the Championship. Red's disappeared about a year prior. Leaf (who's Red's sister in this particular au) is dragging Green with her to the islands to get him out of his post-Red funk and help her conduct some zoographical research of the area. I wanna draw more of them hanging out, too~
