reblog with your ranking of the eight cliffhangers from “not bad, actually” to “shannon, i’ll be banging on your door by sunrise”. this is. for science.

(side note: this is a ranking of the cliffhangers themselves, not how they were resolved or continued in the next book. so if a cliffhanger really hit you hard but then you found the way it was resolved in the next book to be underwhelming, that’s irrelevant. it would still be more toward the “shannon, i’ll be banging on your door by sunrise” side, and vice versa.)

mine is:

(not bad, actually)

“Sophie Elizabeth Foster is unmatchable.” (Flashback)

“I’m going to be hiding the same way the Black Swan hid you. [ . . . ] Love, Keefe.” (Unlocked)

“‘Sophie?’” (Lodestar)

“‘As of this morning, Prentice is awake.’” (Neverseen)

“‘Let’s go join the Black Swan!’” (Everblaze)

“‘Who’s Alvar?’” (Nightfall)

“‘You’re saying stellarlune is a Forgotten Secret.’ [ . . . ] ‘Bring it on.’” (Legacy)

“‘My name is Elysian,' she said. 'And I am the power source you’re all here looking for.’” (Stellarlune)

(shannon, i’ll be banging on your door by sunrise)

#kotlc #kotlc cliffhanger #ok i know people are gonna be like #'well it only SEEMS like the last cliffhanger is the worst because we don't know how it's going to be resolved yet!'#'so that makes it feel more brutal!'#'so we can't really be objective about it!'#WRONG you are WRONG and INCORRECT sorry to be the one to inform you but you're WRONG /lh #ok but in truth really felt like that last cliffhanger was the worst #i started reading kotlc a few months before legacy came out #so the only cliffhangers i had to deal with were flashback (for a little bit) legacy unlocked and now stellarlune #so ig that might skew my results a bit #curious to see what people who've been here since the beginning would say on this matter hmmmmm #that last cliffhanger really WAS the most brutal imo #like elysian??? is a person??? and can switch off abilities??? the things that are the heart of the lost cities???#intriguing fascinating delicious #the worldbuilding is built AROUND abilities and now you're telling me there's someone who can switch them off???#and NOT expect me to go feral???#anyway

Warnings (prologue only): dom!exo x sub!reader, vague mentions of sex

Summary: having dated each of the exo members on and off, you somehow find yourself in a relationship with all nine of them...and their endless list of kinks.

"And this is your room."

You feel as though your mind is playing tricks on you - never in your life did you think you'd live somewhere so extravagant. You knew they were rich, but when you reach your final stop of the house tour you truly realise to what extent.

"This is for me?" You gasp, looking around the (mostly pink) room. It's huge; the bed is king sized, white sheets with pastel pink curtains hanging from the posts, stuffies surrounding the pillows. You have your own giant window with a seat just beside it, a variety of books and games on the shelf nearby. You're purely overwhelmed.

"There's a walk in closet too, baby, and we've already filled it with new clothes." Jongin smiles, "Are you excited?"

You nod, stepping forwards to hug him, "Thank you."

"It's nothing, baby, your first week here's going to be unforgettable."

By the time you get back downstairs, Kyungsoo has already made a variety of foods and unsurprisingly you find Baekhyun shoving as many cookies as he can into his pockets.

"Baekkie, what are you doing?" You giggle as he raises his eyebrows at you.

"Nothing, baby, I'm just-" He pauses to try and think of an answer,

You laugh at his slight panic and make your way over to him, quickly climbing into his arms as you and Jongin join the rest of the boys in the open plan dining room/kitchen.

"Do you like your room?" Baekhyun whispers, folding his arms around you more comfortably. He's warm, especially his lower stomach...ah right, the cookies.

"Yes." You snuggle into him,

"And what do you say?"

"Thank you, daddy."

"Good girl," He smiles, placing a soft kiss on your forehead.

Baekhyun was the only member you'd already had some sexual experience with and although he was all fun and games, you knew he really liked the name - especially since he was seen as less mature by the other members. He felt that with you he was fully in control, and the inner dominance was finally free to come out, even in day-to-day situations.

You look around the room, glancing at the group of men who've gathered, and you can't help but feel your face heat up. You've had experience of this type of relationship before, but never on this scale.

"Do you like your new home, Y/N?" Junmyeon asks, drawing all eyes to you.

You nod silently, hiding your face more in Baekhyun's chest.

"We just have to set out some ground rules, okay?" he continues.

Baekhyun's fingers begin to toy with your hair, a tingling feeling reverberating down your spine everytime the strands were touched.

"First of all, you're perfectly welcome to go into any of our bedrooms and the open areas such as the kitchen. But you cannot enter any of the other rooms, or leave the house, without permission from one of us." He sits himself down properly on the couch opposite you, "Secondly, if we tell you to do something, you do it. No questions asked. This is our house, not yours, and we won't tolerate any bad behaviour."

"If you do have a problem, just tell us." Yixing interrupts, "If you're worried about anything, or upset, just tell us. Okay, baby?"

You shake your head in confirmation.

"Lastly, you're not allowed to use any electronic devices or touch any of ours without permission. That includes television and phones." Junmyeon states, glancing down at you, "Now, would you mind giving me your phone?"

Reaching into your pocket you pull out your phone and quickly turn it off, handing it to Junmyeon. You pout slightly, "Why can't I have my phone?"

"Were you not listening?" he frowns disapprovingly, "What did I say rule number two was?"

"Do what you say. No question."

His eyes remain on you for a moment, awaiting your apology.

"Sorry." You say quietly, desperately wanting to disappear into Baekhyun's chest.

"It's okay, sweetheart, you'll probably take some time to adjust." He nods, vanishing from the room before you have a chance to blink.

Still wrapped in Baekhyun's arms, you blink up at him. He looks back down at you, fishing another cookie out of his pocket and beginning to share it with you.

"Don't eat too much, you two, the food will be ready in a minute." Kyungsoo calls,

"What does Junmyeon do?" You ask Baekhyun, aware that they've always avoided the question. You were so curious, especially after seeing how expensive the house was, as well as their designer clothes and luxuries. "What do you all do?"

"Well, we run our own business. It's a large and successful company." He explains, "We're pretty much self-employed."

"What for?" You fumble with the sleeve of his hoodie as you munch on some more cookie, "What do you sell?"

"It's not very easy to explain, princess." He sighs, glancing over at Chanyeol, one of the boys that have actually remained in the room.

"Hey, Y/N, did you know we have a pool?" the taller boy catches your attention and you look over at him, a smile forming on his face at how cute you look with full cheeks,

You nod, "Jongin showed me."

"Jongdae's planning on taking a dip this evening, you should join him." Chanyeol smiles softly, glancing towards the doorway where Kyungsoo is gesturing you all to come and eat. He steps forwards and places a soft kiss on your forehead before helping you out of Baekhyun's lap.

When you get to the table you're seated between Chanyeol and Minseok, both of them helping themselves to the plates of food in front of them. You eat a lot slower, and a lot less, with Chanyeol leaning over every now and then to give you some of his food.

"You know you don't need to be shy, right?" he murmurs to you, "We don't bite...well, some of us do but we'll save that for later."

He sends a wink your way before the others start cleaning up.

"Sweetheart, why don't you go upstairs and rest? I know it's been a long day and you could probably do with a nap." Junmyeon smiles softly, and somewhere in his voice you find the question to be more of an instruction.

You nod, moving quickly out of the room, slightly overwhelmed by the number of people bustling about.

"___!" You turn at the sound of Baekhyun's voice, giving him a chance to catch up to you, "I thought I'd join you."

You smile at him, "Okay, Baekkie."

When you get to your room, Baekhyun closes the door behind you, gesturing you to lie down. Upon shutting the curtains, he lies down beside you, breath tickling your neck. "Are you nervous?"

You nod.

"Would you like me to help you feel less stressed?" he asks, hand falling to your thigh,

You blink at him, unsure what your answer should be. "J-Junmyeon said I should rest."

"It is resting, baby, you'll sleep better after, I promise." his hand traces sideways, inbetween your thighs. The side of his hand gentles presses against your core.

"Baek-"

"Just relax, sweetheart."
