✬ fandom: riize
✬ ship: lee chanyoung | anton/jung sungchan (syongton/sungchanyoung)
✬ characters: lee chanyoung | anton, jung sungchan, lee sohee, kim jungwoo (nct), qian kun (nct), original characters
✬ tags: alternate universe - royalty, modern royalty, nobility, slow burn, angst, angst and hurt/comfort, eventual smut, eventual romance, eventual relationships, eventual sex, nobility jung sungchan, servant lee chanyoung | anton, childhood friends, denial of feelings, pining, falling in love, drama, angst and drama
✬ summary: sungchan is no longer the boy anton remembers. he’s colder now. sharper. untouchable in every sense of the word. anton should know better than to look at him the way he does. after all, the water has always been dangerous here—and anton is already drowning.
✬ other notes: this fic was inspired by the fame teaser trailer, and further inspired by the silence: inside the fame art exhibition I was lucky to attend while in seoul last year.
