Did I thank Stay in the acknowledgement section of my book? You bet your sweet butts I did! Y'all have been so supportive and encouraging (and delusional in the best way). I'm so grateful to be a Stay with all of you! All I can say is, from the bottom of my heart, Bom Diggy Diggy Bom Bom Bom Bom!

Thank you to my early readers: Sara, Vanessa and Alec, for your encouragement, feedback, and typo-detection. Also to my editor Kate, for your brilliance, insight, and views on superior Cèline Dion songs.
Thank you to my illustrators, Gail and Carina, for bringing my wacko visions to life and making this book so much better.
Thank you to my Potatoes for being hilarious, supportive, and perhaps more importantly, just as obsessed as I am.
Thank you to the Stray Kids fandom, Stay, without whom I wouldn’t have found the courage to publish this book.
Everywhere, all around the world.
To my Staytiny chat, thank you for playing along when I make everything gay.
Thank you to my family and the Core for your support. I understand if you can’t read every part of this book. Just tell me you liked the squirrel.
To every barista I ever bothered for refills, thank you for keeping me caffeinated.
And, if you’re still reading this, I’m so grateful to you, the reader, for taking a chance on this book.

My arm after a Stray Kids concert, with the bracelets I got as freebies, which now occupy a special place on my bookshelf because I love them so much.

Me doing the Stay pose, because of course.

Intruder Alert on Ao3 On his way home, professional baseball player Kim Seungmin gets a text alert from his home security system that there’s an intruder. Which would be concerning, if he had a home security system, and the text hadn’t come from his boyfriend. So, Felix wants to play a game…

I saw Stay were showing their parents/grandparents the Run It MV, and I happen to be visiting my mum this week, so I thought I'd play, too. I also made her partner join us. She's never seen anything #StrayKids before, so this was her introduction.

A picture of an older woman and man sitting in reclining chairs watching the Run It music video by Stray Kids. Chan is on his knees. It's WAY too intense for the quaint little scene. Yet, the person taking the photograph has zero regrets about this situation.

All this concert talk made me check the Bogota StrayCity tickets I have listed on Stubhub, and they are now a whopping $300 MORE that what I listed them as - EACH. ☠️ Dynamic Pricing should be illegal. 🤬

Some comforting Seungbin smut for your Sunday afternoon. ✍️ 6,570 Words 🔥 Rated E 🧭 Canon Compliant 💖 Feelings Realization 🫂 Spicy, but just so, so soft Changbin checks on Seungmin after the Gov Ball and offers to kiss his injury better. It's a joke...until it's not.

Toronto Pop-Up was a blast. I only bought two evil skzoo keychains (2min, obviously), but it was more about the experience of hanging out with other Stays. I love it when we come together to support and gush and just generally share our love for these beautiful, silly, talented wackos. #StrayKids

The SKZ plane ticket and passport you get at the pop-up store, along with two 'evil skzoo' keychains: PuppyM and Leebit, the obvious choice for most evil. Actually excited to see what mischief these two menaces will get up to.

Cartoon on the wall of Leebit dressd as a pilot with Han Quokka as a driver holding a 'welcome' sign. Nice of staff to place them in their government ships.

Another government ship on the wall: Bbokari as a flight attendant and Jinnert as a pilot.

A lineup of the skzoos at the airport, being appropriately chaotic.

If anyone was waiting for No One Can Stop the Time to be complete before diving in - now's the time! Chapter 12/12 is posted. Thank you to everyone who went on this wild ride with me. It has truly been a blast. archiveofourown.org/works/841352...

Chapter 11 of No One Can Stop the Time, "Threads" is now up! And let's be real, ending this story on a Wednesday feels weirdly anticlimactic, so I'm going to post the final chapter tomorrow. #Minsung archiveofourown.org/works/841352...

Does anyone know of a legit site to post my extra Bogota tickets? I put them on Stubhub at the original cost, and Stubhub added almost $250 to the price. Apparently it's 'dynamic pricing'. I just want to sell them at the ORIGINAL price. I want Stays to be able to go! #StrayKids

Frustrated? Bummed out? Bored because no one will manhandle you? Just punch the air, it works for Seungmin.

Is anyone still struggling to buy #StrayKids tickets in Bogota? My friend and I accidentally bought two sets, and could transfer for the original cost. The process looks easy enough on the app. Let me know!

Tell me why, as I'm writing just absolute FILTH, the sweetest, jolliest, oldest man on planet Earth, with his tufts of white hair sticking up and his t-shirt too small for his big ol' belly, sits next to me and asks me how my day is going. Sorry, smut, today was just not your day.

Five Star Michelin @fivestarmichelin.bsky.social · 22/05/2026

I just accidentally wrote 'cuckle up' instead of 'buckle up' and I would like to petition the council of fanfic elders to let us coin 'cuckle up' as metaphorically sitting in the cuck chair as we read. I thank you for your consideration.

Just some subtitle skijigi being delightful in the Jeju episodes. [Seungmin fighting the air will never not be funny to me.] #StrayKids

Jeongin looking confused in a go-cart and the subtitle is, "Where am I, who am I?"

Felix, Jeongin, Hyunjin and Han sitting around a table outside of a restaurant, huddled together to block the wind so their ramen can boil. The subtitle says, "Didn't get the question right but their teamwork against the wind is amazing.]

A picture of Seungmin fighting the air by the sea (literally punching nothing) and the subtitle is, "Another curious act".

The year is 2038, Stray Kids have just announced they're all moving in together again because they're all in love with each other and have been for decades. Stay pretends to act surprised. Anyone who diminished or mocked any ship feels very, very stupid. Ao3 thrives.

Chapter 3 of No One Can Stop the Time is up! #Minsung archiveofourown.org/works/841352...

He hadn’t had many interactions with Doctor Han since he’d been hired six months ago, and never any actual words, just a few nods here and there, perhaps even a mumbled good morning. Which was how it was supposed to be; Doctor Han was the lead scientist, a physicist and legitimate genius. It was Minho’s job to protect him. His honour. They didn’t need any interactions beyond that. Volunteering to help him now, even though this technically was a duty that should’ve fallen to one of his guards, was a simple courtesy. He wasn’t nervous about it, that would’ve been absurd. His heart was simply working a little harder for normal reasons.

NerdSung with a very intense Minho, with the labels "Doc" and "Security Manager Lee". The title is 'No One Can Stop the Time," by Five Star Michelin (me!)

Five Star Michelin @fivestarmichelin.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

Doc is a Traveller, able to slip into the consciousness of his counterparts throughout the megaverse. His biggest problem? The threat to the very foundations of reality, which only he can stop. His slightly smaller problem? The lab’s security manager is distractingly handsome.

A poster for the fic 'No one can stop the time' by Five_Star_Michelin; it shows a character 'Doc', which is Han Jisung from Stray Kids in cute classes and fluffy hair, and 'Security Manager Lee', who is Lee Know looking way too intense in black.

It's so stupid that exercise is so good for you. I just want to twist up like a weird pretzel at my desk and write horny gay fanfiction for literal days at a time, like whyyyyyyyy can't I?!?!?!?!? 😩

I work for a non-profit, and I had a dream last night that I was in charge of booking a celebrity host for an event. You'd think my sleeping dream-brain would've given me Stray Kids, or other Kpop idols, or even a current actor or singer. Nope! In my dream, I flipped through an entire folder of...

Christian from the 90s movie Clueless leaning on a doorframe looking resplendently gay.

Okay, fine. Doc was smitten. He could admit that. Lee wasn’t just handsome, competent and dutiful, he was kind, thoughtful and sort of awkward in a way Doc hadn’t been expecting. #Minsung

Five Star Michelin @fivestarmichelin.bsky.social · 04/04/2026

I love waking up to the gayest shit they could've possibly given us, short of outright declaring they're all in romantic love with each other and that Kim Seungmin has set up a gay sex schedule that they have to abide by or he makes Changbin punish them. #StrayKids

Five Star Michelin @fivestarmichelin.bsky.social · 29/03/2026

My favourite part of watching official #StrayKids content is coming on here to see the fan-cams of the parts they didn't show and finding out it was 10000% gayer than we thought.

Five Star Michelin @fivestarmichelin.bsky.social · 21/03/2026

Do you think Chan watched Twilight and admired Carlisle so much that he was like, I, too, shall build a family for the sole purpose of my children coupling up. #StrayKids

Minsung on stage holding hands while Han sings to a smirking Lee Know.

Glasses Changbin hugging Seungmin from behind, and Seungmin is smiling, SMITTEN.

A wet Hyunlix on stage, Felix has a wide smile as Kiwi Hyunjin rests his forehead on him, softly smiling, in a move that is A BIT MUCH FOR MY HEART.

Chan watching his kids (probably) with a towel hilariously over his head, holding a mozzarella stick (maybe?) and squinting.

Managing expectations and writing for YOU, not kudos. You never know what's going to tickle readers' fancy. A fic I wrote in an afternoon blew up. A fic I spent half a year perfecting has a small but mighty readership. If you go into it needing kudos and comments, you'll be hurt no matter what.

The face of a literal baby who has decided Han is HIS baby. #StrayKids

Baby Suho scampering off to find Han more snacks. His face says, "That is my son, and I love him to the moon."

Baby Suho thoughtfully feeding Han some snacks.

Suho giving Han a soft high five, staring at him as if deciding what kind of car to buy him on his birthday.

The angle of the high five that shows Han gazing at his new father, happy to have his attention.

STAY ARTISTS! I'm publishing my romcom this year, and I need to commission eight drawings of my characters for the cover (a polaroid collage). This isn't SKZ-related, but this fandom gave me the confidence to finally self-publish, and I'd love to keep it in the family, as they say.
