Series: Rise as One
Rating: R / NC-17
Pairing: HoMin/MinHo
Summary: A series of connected shorts, chronicling Yunho and Changmin's enlistment and getting me through the hiatus. Changmin hates change. Yunho accepts it more readily. But both now have to come to terms with not seeing each other or working together for two years. How will the experience shape them? Will they, when their enlistments are done, still be able to Rise as One?

A/N: Where Yunho makes a video.
I wrote this some time in early September when I felt like celebrating that we were over the hump. The downward slide started on August 3rd and it's now less than a year to go until the two are re-united. Roughly at the same time there were pictures online of Changmin and Siwon at SUM Cafe, and Changmin had long marks on his neck which may or may not have been the result of a massage to help with migraines.
I've no idea why I didn't post it back then. Maybe life happened or something. But the Muse is catching up and here we are…
