The moment Cheoljong FINALLY figures it out.
So, I've been sitting on this edit for years because its incomplete and I didn't want to show it until it was. But, I'm not sure WHEN I will finish it so I'll just post it here in its raw form for you all to enjoy until the day I want to sit and finish it.
Also we all wished we had this scene in the drama. T_T

The Most Romantic Lines in Mr. Queen:
King Cheoljong to Bong-hwan: “Why did it anger you so much?” “So? Did you figure it out?” “No, I cannot seem to figure it out. So, I decided to accept it, although I cannot understand it. That a blessing to others, may not be a blessing to you.”
King Cheoljong to Bong-hwan: “I’ll comfort you tomorrow.” “Your existence is comforting enough.”
Bong-hwan to Byeong-in, about Cheoljong: “You asked me why it has to be the King. Let me answer that question now. If someone has to be King, I think he’s the best one. He’s the most king-like out of everyone. So don’t stop me from going and casting a precious vote to the King.”
King Cheoljong to Bong-hwan: “When you weren’t in the Palace, I was surrounded by darkness, like there was a blackout. Oh, ‘Blackout’ means...” “No need to explain. I understand how you feel. I felt the same way.”
Bong-hwan to King Cheoljong: “If you really are from the future, then you must know the ending of this fight too. What happens?” “You’re going to lose. But I’m going to bet everything I’ve got on you.”
Bong-hwan to King Cheoljong: “So, you put all the eggs in my basket.” [Laughs] “Yes. All in. I went all in on you.”

So, I just finished Mr. Queen and I have some problems with the ending, as i’ve noticed many are as well.
Unfortunately, I can’t bring myself to be satisfied with it. I’m already aware of how consistent media is about censoring queer themes in TV, so this didn’t come as a surprise. It just left me disappointed. Although, admittedly, I was a bit shocked at how far they were willing to go amongst other things throughout the show’s entirety. But I could also tell they were holding back with how they were to approach the gay undertones between Bong-Hwan and Cheoljong.
I feel like for a someone that was such a large aspect of the story, Bong-Hwan was disgustingly disregarded as a character during the finale and it felt painfully empty without him. The story just didn’t seem resolved without him being there. He lost everything; his friends, his love… It should’ve been presented as something much more sad but the narrative widely overlooked that. So-yong filling his place and reclaiming her body so early into the conclusion gave very little homage to his memory as her. Even Cheoljong felt like he lost something but will never find closure in that because So-yong neglected to reveal of Bong-Hwan’s presence.
But, above all else, my biggest peeve about the ending is how adamant people are to defend it despite how poorly they handled Cheoljong’s relationship with Bong-Hwan. Many are eager to deny that they had any feelings for each other. The argument being that “The feelings he feels is So-yong reclaiming her body” and I disagree with that. You know how I know thats bullshit? The fact that the show literally shows us otherwise. Even when Bong-Hwan was gone, he still influenced her personality. She still has his rotten mouth and his mannerisms. So I believe that her feelings for Cheoljong intermingled with his and he was influenced by her too. Therefore, he grew to love the king as well. Even if in the beginning, So-yong’s heart for Cheoljong definitely interfered with Bong-Hwan’s, that doesn’t mean they both didn’t grow from that point. And in the end, we’re shown that they’ll never truly be the same, and being apart of one another proved to change them.
As for Cheoljong, I believe he fell in love with Bong-hwan too (As they say, you fall for the personality more than the looks). Irregardless of whether or not he grew some feelings for So-Yong post learning that she was a member of the Kim family, doesn’t mean he didn’t fall in love with the version of her that was possessed by Bong-Hwan. We see he was already interested in him without So-Yong’s influence there.
With that all said, its disappointing that we never got to see an ending for the two when there was obviously a BL in there.

In Any Life, In Any Body
Did something I haven't done in a long time, and wrote. Did something I've never done, and wrote post-canon fix it fic. But if ever a show called for it, it's Mr. Queen.
For 19 1/2 episodes, we got a beautiful, complex, and inherently queer story. Then we were meant to accept a tragedy as a happy ending. I needed to believe that two people who managed to love each other across time and regardless of sex or gender could have another chance.
---------
The 5 Letters represent one of the great mysteries of King Cheoljo’s legacy. The question is this: Who was Jang Bong-hwan?
The name appears only in two of the Letters and the famous graffito at Gungnamji Lake. There is no other record of anyone by that name who might have had contact with the King. These letters reveal a surprisingly metaphorical and poetic side of the King, but to the author’s mind, the shortest and simplest is the most moving and strangely tragic of these.
Bong-hwan touched the page. He already knew it by heart. It appeared a dozen times in the books scattered around him. But he could not read the words aloud.
“Bong-hwan. I never called you by your name. I did not truly see you until you were gone. Bong-hwan. I pray every night to see you again in another life, in your world. Bong-hwan. Now that you are gone, I know what it was that I loved. I would love you in any form. Bong-hwan. May I know you again, in any life. In any body. Bong-hwan.”

I can't find on me to hate Byeong-In because if you think about his point of view that So-yong tried to killed herself because of how unhappy Cheoljong and the palace life made her and how their family made her so miserable at the point to drive her to depression. He had every single reason to hate all of them, and I always felt that it was very ambiguous the way they wrote So-yong feelings towards him. She kisses him back for some seconds till she snaps. She tells him that in her dreams, sometimes her husband looks like him. She trusts him the most and he was the only one who notice that So-bong wasn't So-yong and STILL protected her anyway. His love towards her mixed with how used and mistreated he was by their family although he was a political genius makes all his actions very understanding. They don't know you like I know, youngest minister of War.

Throughout the years, King Cheoljong and Queen Cheorin ruled Joseon together. Peace reigned for many years, the country prospered, their people were happy, and so were the royal couple. The heavens blessed them with five healthy and handsome princes, and they have been happier than ever.
However, a couple of months before their 10th year of marriage, they found out that the queen has conceived once more, and on that very same day when her mother and father got married, the princess came into the world.
Of course, the kingdom rejoiced...
Lady Choi however, had mixed emotions, she dreaded the day that a tiny Kim So-yong would come into this world. The queen was already a handful, then the crown prince came. After that, a series of pregnancies and childbirths which brought the second, third, fourth and fifth princes, all born within the decade.
The queen didn't really expect to fall pregnant again, but Lady Choi did, especially when her majesty swore not to conceive again...a vow she makes every single damn time she gives birth. In all fairness, the queen loves all of her children more than life itself, perhaps she just hated the whole pregnancy process. The older lady couldn't blame her, no mother enjoys the nausea and vomiting, being sensitive to everything, weird food cravings, feeling tired all the time, back pains and so on. Not to mention the endless pre-natal education which she already memorized by now, and of course, labor pains and actual childbirth are always the worst.
The king had been supportive of course, always making sure to provide everything his wife needs, comforting her, being with her at the birthing bed while enduring her loud mouth (Lady Choi lost count on how many times the queen cussed her husband while pushing their child into the world). However, when the princess was finally born they were ecstatic, she inherited her mother's beauty. But Lady Choi swore she heard the king mumble a prayer for her daughter to NOT inherit her mother's...unusual personality, at least not all of it. For the record, each of his sons had gotten some of the queen's traits, but he has a feeling that the princess is going to inherit much more.
The royal couple always say that their children are the most wonderful gifts they've ever received, but for the nannies who look after the royal children, it's a nightmare. The chaos brought about by five young boys in the palace has become a normal thing, so it's no longer surprising for someone who sees or comes across a nanny running after or frantically looking for a royal child. They're at their wits end, and who understands them better than Lady Choi herself? That explains why she and the royal cook have been getting more company at the bamboo forest.
"I'll give her a year, when the princess learns how to walk, the new nanny will be joining us," said Man-bok.
Lady Choi scoffed, "Oh please, the moment the princess starts to crawl it will be hell for the nanny, I'd say it's about seven months," she said with confidence.
Placing a bet for how long a nanny would last until they snap had been the old couple's habit since the birth of the king's heir. So far, Lady Choi had a more precise prediction than the royal cook.
It wasn't long after they heard rustles, like someone was coming. To their surprise it was the new nanny, she looked like she hadn't slept for days and was clearly exhausted. "Oh my are you alright? You seemed so stressed out," the royal cook worriedly asked.
The new nanny looked like she was about to cry, "The princess is driving me insane! She really doesn't like me."
"How can you say that?" it was Lady Choi's turn to ask.
"She's the calmest baby when she's with her parents, but when she's with me she won't stop crying and squirming! And her brothers..."
"Why? What did the princes do?"
"They said their sister despises me," the nanny said miserably.
"Those little rascals," Man-bok muttered under his breath.
"Well...children do prefer to be with their parents than other people, the crown prince was like that when he was a baby," said the first prince's nanny, "Just give it some time, she'll get attached to you. I'm not saying it'll get easier after that, no way. In my case, I've been hearing complaints from some elders saying that the first prince is arrogant. But he's not, he's actually confident and assertive, kind, wise and just, he has all the qualities of a king this country needs."
The other nannies joined the conversation. The second child prefers being outdoors (meaning he escapes from the palace almost all the time which stresses the shit out of his guards and nannies), but his adventurous side has made him brave, bold, and street smart. The third born is a smooth talker, he knows how to get himself out of trouble with words, but he is the most level-headed and a true gentleman. The fourth son is usually quiet and prefers to read or practice calligraphy, but when he talks he is very direct and brutally honest. The fifth son, the youngest prince and a ball of energy can already identify almost all of the ingredients used to prepare their meals and likes to banter with the royal cook, however he is also the sweetest and most loving among the siblings.
They may differ in personalities but if there's one thing the boys have in common, it's their love for the king and queen. They have immense respect for their father and they take good care of their mother even at such a young age. Lady Choi commends how the king and queen are raising their children.
"The royal children aren't who you'd expect them to be, but when you really think of it, they're just...children," said the nanny to the second prince.
"They're not perfect, but seeing them grow into fine young princes, you'll realize that our job isn't so bad after all." said the fifth prince's nanny.
"Come to think of it, it's actually amusing how the queen birthed six charming yet mischievous babies, isn't it royal cook?" asked Lady Choi.
"Oh Lady Choi, we have the king to thank for their charms, and their mischievousness? We all know where they got it from."
They all laughed, the bamboo forest had been a safe space for Lady Choi since coming into the palace. It also brought her and Man-bok together, and now the nannies whom they have formed a close friendship with. At least now Lady Choi and the royal cook know that they aren't the only ones who are losing their minds yet still continue to serve the royal family as best as they could.
"But if it really bothers you dear child, you may let all of your feelings out, it will be our little secret," Lady Choi winked at her.
The new nanny nodded, took a deep breath and yelled as loud as she could. With her newfound friends and the bamboo trees as witnesses, "I can't wait until the princess gets older," Man-bok whispered to Lady Choi, they both snickered as they watched the poor young woman pour out her emotions.
She sure has a lot to rant about, and probably more in the future.
The Bamboo Forest (by: Iris)
*
This fanfic is solely based on the KDrama, Mr. Queen and has nothing to do with the real Cheoljong and Cheorin, as well as Korea's history.
Also, this has been sitting in my drafts for a couple of weeks. I've been imagining what Cheoljong and Cheorin's (from the show) kiddos would be like since I kinda feel sad that I didn't get to see their baby be born but...oh well.

Mr. Queen Fic: resurgence (Jang Bong Hwan/Cheoljong)
Summary:
He isn't an expert in emotional fucking baggage because mostly he just gave them away, kept none for himself. Obviously. He's too cool for that shit. But Bong Hwan's pretty fucking sure now that what he's feeling is missing Cheoljong. In a way that made him feel like his entire chest was raging all the time. - or a fix-it fic of sorts to Mr. Queen's ending.
Notes: So I rewatched this KDrama!!! When I first saw Mr. Queen, I was obsessed with Prince Yeongpyeong and Hwa-Jin (even wrote a story for them). Now though, I get why people didn't like the canon ending because AAAAAGH.
So I wrote my own fix-it fic. Not sure if it makes sense, but it made me happy writing it hihihi.
(also this is technically my first M/M fic so THERE'S THAT TOO)

musings_001:
Just finished watching Mr. Queen starring Shin Hye Sun & Kim Jung Hyun :)
Here's my quick review about it:
7/10.
The reason why I pushed myself watching it because of the plot. Well, it's not a typical plot for me (though I've watched Secret Garden similar to this one). I was curious how will the story flow thinking that a soul of some random guy went inside a queen of a historical era. The first question I've asked: How did they fall in love with each other? Well, based on how I perceived the episodes of MQ, the fact that Bong Hwan and So Yong did not swap with their bodies was out of the picture. I think the main reason why the two–Cheol Jong and Bong Hwan (inside So Yong's body) have numerous intimate scenes because obviously, So Yong is there. It's crazy how I've come into conclusion that BH & SY are connected and mixed their personality with each other that's why there are scenes that BH tries to resist all the affection SY felt for CJ, while SY is (the girl's head over heels on him so she's always on the go) make sense.
So, the second one I've convinced to formulate is: Did Cheol Jong fell in love with So Yong or fell in love with Bong Hwan considering he's inside SY's body? A confusing moment for me everyone. Because I can't ignore all the moments CJ with him, or just maybe CJ thinking about him (e.g. he made "Queen's Dictionary” to understand the queen better; on the last episode, the King noticed something changed about the queen, he felt he lost something after the assassination during enthronement, so on).
So yeah, aside from unsatisfied ending for our Chef Bong Hwan's story, what should I add? Mr. Queen is a fun and warmhearted drama. The casting was great and I love the team hong yeon, lady choi, & queen <33 I hope they did not just leave the importance of BH on the whole plot and his back story just to be clear.

(fic) Lady of the Lake - Mr. Queen
Lady of the Lake | Mr. Queen
Ship(s): Cheoljong/Jang Bong Hwan, Cheoljong/Kim So Yong
Rating: Teen
Chapters: 5
Word Count: 13241
Status: Completed
The year is 1852, when Yi Won Beom once again becomes His Majesty, the King of Joseon in his own right. In the first year of his direct rule, he finds that despite the happiness and excitement he should be feeling in anticipation of an heir—it is instead uncertainty and grief that seizes his heart.
Teaser:
“What is it?” I had asked, lifting a hand up to swipe my fingertips lightly over my mouth, “Have I somehow gotten ink on my face?” “No,” the woman I had then thought was Kim So Yong had shaken her head, “Just wondering if you believe me yet.” “That where you are from,” I said tentatively, “there are some nations where the people… select their kings, instead of it being determined by divine right? Certainly, there is some merit to the idea—I can see why it would be an attractive solution.” The corners of So Yong’s lips turned up for a split second, and she straightened up her back. “That was like ten classes ago,” she traced a hand down the nape of her neck, “You gotta keep up. I meant—about me being a man.” I watched her face carefully as she darted her eyes around the room, waiting uncharacteristically anxiously for my response. It was undeniably something I had not entirely forgotten about, even though at that moment it had been quite some time since she had last alluded to it.
There were a few fleeting instances when I did find that some of her behaviours gave even the most unruly of my acquaintances on Ganghwa Island a good run for their money, but manner was manner and appearance was appearance. No matter how I had looked at her then, even with her cavalier attitude and her one leg propped up with the knee leant against the edge of my low desk, she seemed like nothing less than a woman.
“Surely you can understand why I find that hard to accept,” I murmured gently, “when one is as, ah, graceful as you are. Even if you are from another time as you say—are men and women from the future really indistinguishable from each other? How bizarre.” She snorted a dismissive laugh, and rolled her eyes. “Right,” her expression turned almost bitter briefly before she smoothed it out again, “I wouldn’t buy my story in your shoes either. And to answer your question: no? Yes? Sometimes—it’s complicated, apparently.” Not knowing what else to say, I kept quiet, refilling our teacups and sliding over the small plate of dasik in a gesture of pacification. “Okay,” So Yong’s eyes traced over the refreshments for a long while before glancing back up, “then let’s just say that I’m the Lady of the Lake. I can live with that.”

I woke up from a strange dream that bothered me and decided (as a distraction to make myself feel better) that I'm going to post little snippets of ideas I had for other cheolbong fics if I ever finished No Touch Cafe. Will I ever get to them? I have no idea, but for now, enjoy!
---
Mute!Bong Hwan/CEO!Won Beom
Won Beom saves Bong Hwan from assholes trying to beat him up and they nearly break his hand. As Won Beom is treating his wound:
“It’s already hard enough for you to communicate as it is.” Won Beom says softly as he wraps the bandage around Bong Hwan’s hand. "Hands are the very things we use to hurt or comfort, to create or destroy." he swipes his thumb over Bong Hwan’s hand as though he could take away all the pain with a single touch. "But for you, it's how you communicate." Won Beom looks at Bong Hwan, who's looking back at him with an unreadable expression. "You've already lost one voice. It would be cruel for you to lose another."
Bong Hwan pulled his hands away gently. "I would have found another way," he signed slowly, staring at Won Beom with a determined intensity. Won Beom couldn't help but smile.
“Yes, you would." he agrees.
---
Purely written snippet as a joke of the bath scene, but like... way gayer?? Basically a pwp lmaooo
“Would you like me to fuck you?” Cheoljong asked, his voice low.
“Or would you like to fuck me?” Won Beom asked, tilting his head.
“Which do you choose then?” Cheoljong asked seriously, him and Won Beom looking at Bong Hwan expectantly. Bong Hwan scoffed.
“Fuck both of you,” he said harshly, fully intending it to be an insult. Instead the two of them grew wider grins. Cheoljong immediately slid behind him, his hands grazing across Bong Hwan’s chest as his chest pressed against his back. Won Beom slid into Bong Hwan’s lap, settling comfortably enough as though he always belonged there.
"So be it." Cheolbong purred into Bong Hwan's ear.
---
Bodyguard AU with a mix of modern and Joseon. The one I really want to write one day. But here's a little taste. 👀
"Loyalty? Why the sudden change? I know for a fact that joining my side gets you nothing." Cheoljong said.
"You're right. I don't receive any benefits. I will be risking my life to help you win."
"Then why??"
"If I may be so bold, Your Majesty." Bong Hwan steps closer and refuses to break his gaze from the king. "It's because I love you."
Cheoljong steps back in shock as Bong Hwan towers over him.
"I've always thought it was immense loyalty, and had treated it as such until I realized my thoughts were never as innocent as they should be." He stares at Cheoljong. "What I feel for you is different from anything I have ever felt before, and it makes me feel alive." he steps closer, his hand reaching up but never quite getting close. He pulls away and steps back. "I know what I feel can never be reciprocated, and I will never expect you to. But do not push me from your side. Use me as you will, and I will tear down all your enemies with just one word from you. That I promise you, My King."

Happy Valentine’s Day! In honour of one of my top kdrama couples, Mr. Queen please?
Years pass and Bong Hwan thinks less and less about the future he came from and instead on the future he's building - there's not time to miss something that he'd never enjoyed that much, not with the baby, then the second, then the third. Sometimes he remembers his first name, remembers that she was born and lived as a man for decades, but often he forgets that she's anything but So Yong.
He's had enough after three. She repeats that again and again to Cheoljong who nods very seriously and says, "Yes, my queen," and "Whatever you say, my queen," and is very good at not knocking her up for six years.
When she finds out that she's pregnant again she camps out in Hwa Jin's home and refuses to let him in.
"You're being ridiculous," Hwa Jin tells her, the daughter she "adopted" peeking out from behind her mother at her with bright, mischievous eyes. She doesn't know where she got her personality from - it certainly wasn't Yeongpyeoung. "You've always had easy births. Why wouldn't you want to give him another prince?"
Easy birth is an oxymoron. "You're not helping."
"Stop bothering me then," she says.
She's such a bitch. So Yong still thinks she's hot.
Next she tries the home that Jae Won and Young Jae share and the two bedrooms they definitely use and sleep in because the only reason they share a home is because they're dear friends and brothers and definitely not because all but married.
"Why do you always have to bring us in the middle of your fights with the king," Jae Won whines when she barges in to his house.
Young Jae elbows him in the side, "Be nice!"
"You always take her side," he grumbles, but does scoot over so she can take his cushion.
"She was my friend first," Young Jae says seriously.
Jae Won's sulking doesn't at all improve after she beats him at the next three games, but she doesn't know what he expected since he can never beat her when she's sober.
And she's going to be sober for the next eight months thanks to fucking Cheoljong.

Mr Queen fic masterlist
Noticing an influx of comments on my Mr. Queen fics now that it’s on Netflix, so here gentle readers is a masterlist. I spent the better part of a year writing these stories, most of which are novel-length!
Are you a cheolbong truther, and wish the show would have committed to the wacky queer love story of our dreams? Or does your heart beat for the silenced Kim Soyong, who got pushed out of her own narrative? I’m here to fulfill all your fix-it needs! ❤
Tumblr media
Mrs. Queen
Summary: She has always been good at hide and seek. A retelling of Mr. Queen from Kim Soyong's point of view.
This was my first MQ retelling where Soyong and Bong-hwan are both awake and bickering inside their mind, wrestling for control. Soyong/Cheoljong endgame; Bong-hwan is mostly around to matchmake and cause trouble like the gremlin he is.
Tumblr media
And I, and Silence
Summary: Jang Bong-hwan can feel his mind disintegrating, and he is looking for a way back to Seoul. Suddenly Kim Soyong is back. And, as it turns out, she is already married.
The last thing Kim Soyong remembers is jumping into the lake. Now she’s back mid-story and forced to fend for herself without any memory of what has happened in the past few months. Lots of angsty pining, gratuitous Emily Dickinson references, and the birth of my most beloved crackship ByeongJin (Jo Hwa-jin/Kim Byeong-in).
Tumblr media
The Raw Ingredients
Summary: After a miserable year in Seoul, Bong-hwan finds a way back to Joseon. When she returns everything is very different from how she left it.
We’ve got magical trans girl Bong-hwan returning to Joseon, only this time in the body of a lowly palace maid. How ever will she get to her king? Well, with a little help of cunning minister Kim Soyong, of course.
Tumblr media
Patchwork
Summary: Sobong returns to her king.
A ficlet with the same basic premise as The Raw Ingredients but much shorter.
Tumblr media
The White Grass
Summary: Kim Soyong discovers the hard way that her clan would do anything to ensure that the next royal heir comes from the Kim bloodline, no matter who they have to hurt to do it. To survive in the palace she makes a deal with the king. AU where Jang Bong-hwan never came to Joseon. This one has some dark and gritty dubcon sex! It’s also got a Kim Soyong who girlbosses, gaslights, and gatekeeps her way to power in a patriarchal government, and accidentally falls in love with her husband along the way.
Tumblr media
Whatever Souls Are Made Of
Summary: Kim Soyong and Jang Bong-hwan are the same soul reincarnated. On the same night, 170 years apart, they both drown. That’s when things get weird.
In this story Sobong is just one (1) person, but with two sets of memories from two points in time. There’s some multiverse theory, library sex, and a journey of self-discovery for our dear genderfluid queen! This is my personal favorite of the bunch.
