Chapter Text
The Red Moon is beautiful.
The luxuriously decorated building towers thirty stories over the western edge of the city in an area reserved for those with the means to live well. Beautiful gardens full of fruits, vegetables, and fragrant flowers litter every available green space, while shops filled with both quaint and designer goods line the streets. The air is fresh and the sidewalks immaculate in the seemingly aptly-named community of Haven.
Outside the twenty-foot tall gilded fencing that surrounds Haven, barns and pastures for livestock stretch for acres in all directions. Multiple wells pull fresh spring water from deep in the Earth to be pumped into the water supply. A large vineyard with its rows of meticulously pruned grapevines sits next to a winery with a distillery and brewery nearby.
Far enough away to barely be seen from Haven’s gates, an imposing stone and concrete barrier wall stands as a barrier to the rest of the world. Guards in manned towers keep an eagle-eye on any movement outside the wall to ensure nothing enters - or exits - without their knowledge. Sitting in the middle of the desolate landscape outside the wall is a single concrete bunker.
Massive, with only one story and perhaps a dozen tiny windows, the building is imposing in its simplicity. Heavy chain link fencing protects its perimeter, accessorized with sharp barbed wires and electric currents running through the metal. A smattering of armed guards stand near the only gate into the complex. Outside, the facility looks quiet. Calm.
On the inside, it is hell.
Notes:
-
This work is a labor of love - a completely and totally self-indulgent fic that I have been working on since February 2025. If only one person enjoys this story, then I'll be infinitely satisfied.
- In this world, people see sex as a part of a healthy adult lifestyle. Consider it the equivalent to eating properly and staying hydrated, sex is just another biological need.
-
There are themes in this story that fit the society that I've built but do not fit the society we live in. What we call "sex work" in our world is a way of life in this fictional world. It's not only socially acceptable, it's honored and revered.
-
People who are in relationships have sex with others and don't have a second thought about it. Everyone is informed. It's just the way of this world and is not cheating.
-
I wish our society would get to this point. Oh well, at least I can write about it.
-
I'll be so honest right now. I think I have read maybe four or five Hyunchan fics ever. I don't read them, therefore I went into this without any expectations of what that relationship should look like or has looked like in other works. I love them here.
-
This is not a ChanLix fic, but you might think so in the beginning. They just, uh, fuck a lot.
-
As of right now (November 2025) Books One and Two are completely finished and Book Three is almost done. Most of the history of this world is in Book Two. That's also where all the really hot alpha/alpha smut starts and battles begin.
-
ETA: I had a long-time moot mention something so I'm adding a disclaimer here because I have no idea how to tag this. In this world, being designated as an omega outweighs he/she/they. There are references to all three when nameless omegas are mentioned in this work.
