#vibe has gotta be angst with a happy ending
Text
Fic set during season 6 where dean DOES know that Cas is watching him and it Does Something To Him. At first it's just a feeling, like an idea at the back of his mind and he doesn't know why it bothers him so much, and then the more he becomes convinced of it the more he starts acting out. At first he thinks it's because he's pissed at Cas for leaving without saying goodbye and just going radio silent, and he's like rubbing his new life in his face a little like- see I'm happy, I'm fine I don't need to play a part in god's plan. And that includes like, getting out of bed for the first time in weeks and making himself go outside and clean up the yard and go to the grocery store and have dinner waiting for Lisa when she comes home. And the whole time he's kind of like. He probably isn't here. I'm probably just making this up. And then one day he kisses Lisa in the kitchen and the light above the stove blows just as the radio turns on, and then the next thing he knows he's like, desperately jerking off in the shower and Lisa isn't even there and he doesn't know what he's trying to prove anymore it that anything?
#vibe has gotta be angst with a happy ending#like dean dosen't understand why he's so upset#but he is he's so mad that cas isn't there and he has to show him that he doesn't need him#and that he's happy with lisa and the life he chose#so he's just like. processing his grief by committing HARD to his suburban cookie cutter life#and aggressively performing as a trophy husband#and then all of a sudden it flips and he's like. if I'm so happy then why do i feel so sad???#anyways eventually lisa has to be like- this isn't working for me babe#and dean has to have an existential crisis and face the reality that if he DOESN'T have a perfect suburban life then what DOES he have#and the answer is Not Cas#either way he's gotta cry in the shower right after he [redacted] final offer#writing prompts#destiel#post tag

Hi! I follow you and see some parts of your comic but.. tbh I’m rlly scared of reading it
I love your style and the snipets I saw I rlly am curious abt the story, but I saw some asks and some here and there, and am actually afraid (and confused) abt the timeline and Donnie. (Ik it’d be solved by me reading it but) I can’t do sad endings or angst/no comfort which is why I haven’t read but gotta say, even for a scaredy cat like me, it looks and seems so COOL!! Your style is rlly comiky and keeps me wanting for more! /gen /pos
So I won’t lie and say it’s not dark, and it’ll probably get a little darker still. The bad timeline especially is going to be pretty depressing. But I also hate hurt/no comfort and I will say I try to balance out all the angst as best I can. The doomed timeline boys may meet tragic ends but I will have them all reunited and at peace. It will hopefully still be satisfying all things considered.
The main timeline boys will 100% have a happy ending. But there is a lot of angst to get through. I also try to tag for the worst of it. So I think anything worth a little ⚠️ (which has only been one part so far) I will do a little summary on the next part so anyone can skip and still be caught up.
Also if you want to brace yourself and see a summary of what I have planned, there is a link to a timeline in my pinned post which spans all the way up to the movie. Idk if you’d be able to get a vibe from that, as it’s very simple descriptions. But I thought I’d mention it!
Also if you wanna see some more fluffy stuff the ‘sepau!life’ tag in that same pinned post. That’s more little daily life and fun stuff.

have you read any good Super Mario fics and any you recommend?
figured today was as good as any time to answer this question so! I'll try to include a variety of vibes since you didn't specify what kinds! [cracks knuckles]
Anesthesia and a Dose of Brotherly Love by @roscolate has gotta be one of my favourite Mario movie verse fics for real, it has the EXACT sweet and silly vibes that I adore about the movie verse bros. I revisit it a lot and I cannot recommend it enough for your fill of brotherly love and teasing!
Sing for Absolution by @drones-of-innocence is an amazing look at Mario/Peach dynamic, absolutely love the characterization and concept of this one, plus it comes with some GORGEOUS illustrations!! Very soft for the loving and sweet fairy tale vibes of this
Luigi Wasn't Saved AU by @doodleydoo101 is perfect if you're in the mood for some bros angst (please read the warning tags on this!!) that is heartbreaking, but such a real and cathartic exploration of grief, it made me cry more than once. Very bittersweet but also extremely satisfying!
Always at Your Side by @theangelofangst explores one of my favourite Mario angst concepts! Great writing, also made me tear up, though this one has a happy and sweet ending <33 Really good bros dynamic here, I love it!
You Could've Hurt Him by @multicolour-ink is a very fun and cute read! It's an AU based off the His Dark Materials series, which cards on the table I've never read, but I followed this fic just fine! I adore childhood fics of the bros and it's so cute to see how their bond translates in an AU setting, this one squeezed my heart <33
The Line of Fire by @pianokantzart (please also read the warning tags on this one!) AMAZING drama and conflict in this one, such a great take on the Mario body swap concept made by @elitadream just, chefs kiss on everything in this fic, I can't say much without spoiling it but if you're into some Luigi angst DEF give this one a read, top notch work!
Traduzione, Per Favore? by @peaches2217 it's honestly SO difficult to pick a favourite from peaches because all of his Mareach work is mwah, chefs kiss, 10/10, has me giggling and kicking my feet over how the Mareach dynamic is explored and fleshed out, but this one is just so sweet and funny!! The way she writes Mareach makes my heart flutter I love it SO so much, def check out the rest of his work if you enjoy this fic/Mareach!
Gonna force myself to stop there before I list too many fics kjSDAKJDKSA but I hope you enjoy some of the ones I've linked!
#asks#also I hope all the tagging here is ok!! just lmk if anyone here wants to be untagged#hopefully this is a good variety! I notice I tend to gravitate towards character/dynamic focused fics for this fandom lol#anything that dissects how these characters operate and how they feel about each other is EXACTLY what I crave#anyways gonna go read these again JKSAKDLSAKLD

The Bangtan Gal Chapter 86- WINGS 8
Chapter Summary: After 3 years, Jennie finally dyes her hair for a BTS comeback and films her WINGS 8 Concept video.
Words: 9,000+
Author's Note: Some smol angst regarding Jimin's diet during the BST era. And mentions of anxiety. I apologize in advance :(
I'm going to create a smol chapter when it's around that time for the love yourself videos. I'd like to put my spin on it, not going too much into the crazy theories. I'm hoping to write more of Jen's story for it. And I wonder if I made it obvious who found Jennie for her WINGS video at the end of the chapter. I'll write about all that when it's around 2017 in the story. Some ideas sparked in my head when those videos were released years ago and I kept them in my old documents. I gotta revisit them and check out everything.
I had thought of this idea for her concept video and decided to just stick with it and have fun with it instead of stressing about making her fit "perfectly" in this comeback. Supernatural type of shiz. And I did some research on using a Damien quote from the book to add to it. I think it fits quite well imo.
I lost count of how many times I changed Jennie's WINGS song. It's getting ridiculous at this point. But for this, I decided to go a different route. Jennie has said that she wants to be a versatile artist, especially as she looked up to Rihanna as an inspiration for that, singing in different genres.
I LOVE PVRIS! One of my favorite groups. I'm not too big on their new music and the direction they're going musically these days but am always vibing to their old stuff. I truly miss their old sound tbh.
I decided to choose a song called I Don't Wanna Do This Anymore from PVRIS' latest album, for Jen's song. I really like the vibe as it would showcase her skills on the launchpad and I love the lyrics. I'll probably switch it up a little bit. I wanted her song for WINGS to be blunt and a bit sad. Like literally she is telling people she does not want to do this anymore. She does not want to perform, she does not want to be famous, she wants out, which was how she felt during the situation of her sister's play and getting mobbed by all those people. So, she'll express those negative feelings in the song. And I thought of her changing the lyrics to be more optimistic as the song goes on. Maybe for the chorus. I even thought of the fan chant ARMY would do. She would sing negatively, and they'd respond positively. For instance, when RM sang "I wish I could love myself." for Reflection and ARMY shouted, "WE LOVE YOU!"
So yeah, I think that's it. I'm rambling but I'm not going to overthink it too much when it comes to her song for this album. I had a vision for her WINGS video and I kind of hope it makes sense. So I'm just going to go with the flow :) Happy reading!!
--------
Jennie made it back to America safely and Facetimed the boys to let them know. She was lying on her bed, feeling the jetlag as the boys expressed how much they were already missing her. After speaking to them, she finally had one on one time with Yoongi.
"And thanks again for the cookies. I tried to make them stretch but it was too good," he said. "Now I have to impatiently wait for you to return to make me some more,"
She giggled at that. "Sounds like a plan. I'm happy the mixtape is being well received,"
"Me too. So many streams on SoundCloud. Thank you again for your help,"
"Always. I knew it would do well,"
Once July 31/August 1 hit, How's This was finally released and Jennie got to watch the two Music Videos as well as the jacket shooting. She and Hyuna looked fun and the visuals were astounding. Now, of course, there were those kinds of fans that would complain that Jennie was acting 'too grown'. She already saw tweets about it with fans babying her and saying that she shouldn't act too sexy. But she chose to ignore it and just enjoy what she and Hyuna created.
She thought about the filming as she watched the jacket shooting video.
-------
Dressed in one of many outfits for the video, Jennie and Hyuna awaited instructions while they stood on the set that resembled a club different from the first music video.
"I'm getting more comfortable with this sexy vibe because of you. Doing this with you, I feel at ease. So, I am so stoked to be here with you today," Jennie told her with a smile.
Hyuna looked relieved. "I'm happy. I was a little nervous asking you if you wanted to do this. I sighed out of relief when I got confirmation that this collab was a go,"
When they saw that Cube wanted to film a documentary on this music video, they waved at the camera.
"Today Jennie is with me to film! I am so happy that she is a part of this fun song," Hyuna said, clapping her hands.
"Hi~!" Jennie hugged her from behind, waving to the camera. "We are ready to shoot~!"
"This is going to be fun! Stay tuned!"
Jennie let go of her and cheered, "Fighting!"
"Fighting!" she high fived her.
Jennie was filmed first and they started with shots of her being sexy and having fun inside the club while lip-syncing the song. Walking through the club, she met up with Hyuna who danced along with her. For How's This with the version with Jennie in it, the choreography was different and looked more fluid instead of all the body shaking. In Jen's opinion, this choreography fit better for the song after working on new moves with Hyuna. They performed the choreography in the crowd and then did some twerking shots.
As the crew prepared for the next take, the camera showed Jen and Hyuna talking again.
"How was the first music video shoot?" Jennie asked.
"It was fun! It went well. I kissed one of the guys on camera," Hyuna felt flustered about the mature kiss.
"OOP!" Jen covered her mouth, making her giggle and hold onto her. She turned to the camera and repeated herself, "OOP!"
For another shot, after an outfit change, Hyuna and Jennie danced together behind a background. It reminded them of a honeycomb as they lip-synced.
Before Jen knew it, she was in the area she wanted to film at the most. The DJ booth.
"My happy place. Look at it. I am in love," she pointed over to the DJ booth. "Errbody throw yo hands up, we getting' hot, hot, hot, hotter!" she sang her verse from fire cutely before giggling.
When filming commenced, she approached the DJ and asked if she could take over. Winking at him, she placed the headset on and began mixing for the party while dancing around. The party got more lively once she began to DJ while Hyuna joined her as they lip-synced the chorus.
eottae igeon eottae
eottae chumchuja
Up dwae igeon Up dwae
Up dwae chumchuja
Jen was filmed all over the place for her shots. Hyuna had a lot of shots already from the previous music video and Cube just needed more Jen and then her together with Hyuna. Shots consisted of her lying across a table while lip-syncing, dancing on the table, then filmed against the wall as she flipped her hair and swayed her hips around.
"Is this too much?" Jen giggled as she watched her shots with Hyuna.
'As if looks could kill. Her piercing gaze against the screen flusters Jennie'
"Oh no, I bit my lip," she laughed. "I didn't even notice. Pure instinct. We look good, though,"
The last shot consisted of a dance battle. Jennie had a group of black dancers with her against Hyuna and her dancers.
----------
Jennie smiled at the memory and was excited to perform it live near award season. After watching the videos, she scrolled through Twitter and saw what was going on. BlackPink had recently debuted and she loved their debut music videos. Although she was still hurt about 2NE1, she loved seeing new groups debut.
But because one of the BlackPink members was also named Jennie, it started some fan wars, which made no sense at all.
'Netizens compare BTS' Jennie to BlackPink's Jennie. Who is better?' read the latest controversial ALLKPOP article.
It didn't sit right with BlackPink and BTS fans as the comment section was filled with mixed reactions. It was drama waiting to explode.
'So we have a Black Jennie and a Korean Jennie'
'There can only be ONE Jennie and I choose BTS' Jennie'
'BP's Jennie is what BTS' Jennie wishes she was'
'Ugh STOP already'
'I think BTS' Jennie is better.'
'BP's Jennie has more charisma. BTS' Jennie still hasn't shown what she is all about. Her part in fire was cute but I wish she did more. I kinda gave up on her as my bias and moved on to Jimin'
'LOL I bet BTS' Jennie is threatened by BP's Jennie'
'BlackPink's Jennie showed more effort and energy in her debut than BTS' Jennie. Just stating facts. I'd take BlackPink's debut over BTS' any day'
'Jennie and Jennie. I love it. I hope they meet'
'Are you serious?!'
'Ew wtf is this article?'
'BlackPink's Jennie is still a rookie. She has a long way to go before getting up to BTS' Jennie's level'
'Can you not? This is disrespectful to both girls. They both are doing great'
'I'm tired of people comparing groups. Just love and support both'
'I hope they become friends'
'Eh...BP's Jennie is better and prettier. She wears better outfits too. BTS' Jennie has been looking rough for a while. She gained a few pounds too. I miss her debut look'
'Who cares? They both flop'
'BlackPink's Jennie ain't even all that.'
'The difference is BlackPink's Jennie knows how to rap. BTS' Jennie's little Full Moon cover wasn't that great. She annoying af'
'BTS' Jennie just doesn't have that IT factor like BP's Jennie does.'
'I like Blackpink's Jennie more'
''Stop pitting women against women. It's disgusting'
'Delete this article. They're both great'
Jennie frowned and rolled her eyes at the name of the article and scrolled past to look at something more positive. It seemed like they were trying to get her to reply and react but she refused. First, they did this with Alex Reid, and now BlackPink's Jennie. It needed to stop. She was not going to be the "mean girl" that the media wanted her to be and make people think that she hated or was jealous of other female idols like Alex and Jennie Kim.
The last thing she was going to do was let the media try to make her think negatively about someone whom she hadn't met. She refused to be sucked into this jealous and petty scenario with BlackPink's Jennie. She was excited about what BlackPink would be doing and wished the best for them.
Suddenly she received a notification from V-Live about Hobi going live and began to watch it.
"Oh, that's right. Bangtan is in Japan for their concerts," she murmured.
"We had our concert, tonight. It didn't feel the same without Munchkin with us. Jennie, if you are watching, I hope you are doing well," Hobi said on camera in his hotel room.
"Doing good, missing you guys," she sighed.
But then something weird happened on the live. The comments started bringing up other members. Fans then began to ask for Jungkook, V, Jimin, and Yoongi.
"No, they didn't..." Jennie looked on in disbelief at the comments.
All Hobi wanted was to spend time with Armies and now this happened. It made her upset and then she watched as he went to Jimin's room and then left abruptly after a few minutes. Jimin was also stunned because it was Hobi's phone on the live so what in the world?
Unable to keep her thoughts to herself, she went to Twitter to tweet about it.
'Are you KIDDING me? Did you REALLY just ask for other members while J-Hope was trying to talk to you? #Jen'
'No, like really the amount of disrespect is completely unacceptable. The hell is wrong with some of y'all? #Jen'
'You got me ALL the way f'ed up! Don't ever do that to Hobi #Jen'
'We take time out of our day to talk to you one on one but you ask for the others? You need to consider our feelings and how bad it makes us feel. #Jen'
Her tweets blew up and spread like wildfire as fans were commenting sorry and tweeted sad emojis. A lot agreed with her tweets while some others began to complain that she was overreacting.
'I know right!? Like how dare them?!'
'Ennie, we're sorry'
'These fans are so disrespectful. Please don't think all ARMY are like this.'
'I am so bothered by them doing that crap.'
'omg shut up,'
'You must be one of them asking for other members if you're telling her to shut up. YOU shut up! Jennie is speaking facts!'
'What are you so extra for? Calm down,'
'Here she goes always sticking her nose in everyone's business. All the way in America. Just stay in America and go away,'
'I cannot believe they did that. Ugh'
'GO OFF SIS! This infuriates me! Hobi don't deserve this'
'I'm so sad...'
'We don't deserve him'
'I cannot believe this. And they call themselves an Army?'
'Yeah...my heart is broken'
'IM SOOOOO MAD!'
'The sweetest sunshine ever and gets treated like this. I want to cry'
Jen then tweeted one final tweet before going on a social media break.
'ARMY, don't apologize to me. Apologize to Hobi...#Jen'
Later that evening after Jimin ended the live that was supposed to be him and Hobi, she facetimed him after he got his phone back.
"Hey, Jennie," J-Hope greeted with a fake smile but she saw right through it.
"Nah uh. Don't do that. Screw them for making you feel like that,"
"It's okay. Don't worry about it," he shook his head. "They just want to see the other members,"
"No. I will worry about it. You're upset and bummed out. I understand. I wish I was there to take you out and treat you to food or something. That was so rude of them and they are so ungrateful. Those aren't real fans. Don't let them get to you, okay? You have real fans who love and appreciate you. Love and respect you. Love and support you," she went on as he listened.
"Hobi, they can call me annoying or whatever for my tweets, I don't care. What just happened was wrong and unfair," she declared. "And if you don't want to be vocal about it, then I will because I refuse to sit here and let people do this to you. You don't deserve that. You should get just as much love and affection as the rest of us. I love and cherish you. Always. Don't ever forget that. I'm going to always have your back,"
Hobi broke out into a huge smile at her words and began to feel better. "Thank you, Jennie. I appreciate you cheering me up,"
--------
While being home, Jen spent the majority of her time in her room which was also her mini studio. Although she wasn't physically there with the group to work on their upcoming album, she still did her part and sent in her vocals and instrumentals.
For the WINGS album, she was going to be more involved in the music. For now, everyone is focused on their solo songs. She was first involved in working on Jungkook's song, Begin. Since she had been home, Jungkook had sent her his vocals and asked if he sounded OK. Every time was better than the last which boosted his confidence as he recorded. Jennie's role in his song was to play the guitar.
With her headphones on her ears, she played the guitar smoothly under his angelic vocals. Begin was about his journey to Seoul and meeting Bangtan. It was beautiful. The lyrics did not mention her but talked more about the rest of the boys. His brothers. Jungkook kept apologizing to her about it and said he had something planned for her in the future. She was not bothered by it at all and understood. If anything, her curiosity towards what he had planned for her rose as she thought about what he was going to do.
After sending the music back to Big Hit, she got confirmation that it was great and continued working on the rest of her assigned songs. Next up was Jimin's song called Lie. She worked on the background vocals and guitar for his song. Out of every solo song by the guys, this one was her favorite and she was so proud of him for his efforts. She couldn't help but smile as she listened to the demo track after putting her recorded guitar chords in it.
Closing her eyes, she began to focus on the emotion of the song and pondered on her background vocals. This song was about lying and the conflict due to lies and temptation. So, she wanted to try to have some emotion and desperation in her vocals to fit the tone. She recorded her light breathy 'yeahs' in the beginning and sang 'Naega malhae' under his voice.
Be smooth like a like a snake
beoseonago sipeunde
Hearing an opening instrumental part after his voice, she hummed but shook her head, stopping the song.
"Nah...maybe it should be better. Humming is too common. I should do something different," she pondered, taking off her headphones.
She spent the next hour working on what would fit during that part. Her notebook with crossed out words and random lyrics was all over her papers as she worked on thinking what would work for his song. She wanted something to pop and to be memorable.
"Ah...woo...woo." she wrote down.
She began to sing it out several times in diverse ways until she found a tone that fit with the song.
"I should make it a little haunting when I edit it. A tad bit of autotune or something..."
Putting her headphones back on, she stood by her microphone and pressed record as it played Jimin's song. The first opening notes were clear enough to give listeners one hell of an eargasm. The producers that put the violin and other string instruments were geniuses.
"Yeah," she said in a high, breathy tone while looking at her notebook in her hands.
As soon as Jimin's voice filled her ears, she sang softly under his vocals, "Naege malhae..."
Neoui dalkomhan misoro naege
"Naege malhae..."
soksagideut nae gwitgae malhae
"Yeah. Don't be like a prey, be smooth like a like a snake,"
beoseonago sipeunde
Finding that inner strength in her voice, she belted out, "Ah woo woo~"
naegeseo tteona tteona tteonajwo
naegeseo tteona tteonajwo
"Ah woo woo~"
mworado nareul nareul guhaejwo
nareul guhaejwo
This song was such a bop as she swayed around to the song, focused.
gyesokdwae domangchyeobwado
geojit soge ppajyeoisseo
Caught in a lie!
"I'm drowning, I'm losing myself. I can't disobey, I can't break away..." she sang emotionally under his vocals.
nae useumeul dollyeonwajwo
Caught in a lie!
"This torment gets worse every day."
i gotongeseo heeonal su eobseo
beolbanneun nareul guhaejwo
After recording everything multiple times, she went on to edit and made sure her vocals fit nicely under his. Things were coming together as that bright smile appeared on her face. She was so satisfied with this. She hoped he and the producers like it when they did their final touches.
Her phone buzzed and she sat back in her seat to read a text from Jimin.
Jimin: Ennie, I know you're awake! Don't stress over it too much. Get some sleep, okay? We can work on the song tomorrow.
Jen: Facetime me. I just sent you what I created :D
It didn't take long for them to be on Facetime together as Jimin was thrilled to see her face.
"Ennie! What time is it over there?"
"Late but it's okay," she said and yawned.
"You should really go to bed. You look so sleepy," he looked concerned for her when he noticed her tired eyes.
"I know, I know. I will."
"I miss you," he pouted.
"And I miss you, too. Don't worry, I'll be back in Korea before you know it,"
"Well, I hope it's soon! It's not the same without you here," the 95 Liner shook his head. "The guys...I...we're kind of all over the place without our Bangtan Girl to keep us in order. We're a bit of a mess. It's weird without you. We just want you to come home,"
His words made her heart leap as she felt emotional, yet again. But then the word 'home' struck her. She was already 'home' in America. But the fact that he said 'home' as in living with them in Korea made tears appear in her eyes.
"Jimin..." she smiled sadly. "It won't be much longer, I hope. Being away from you and everyone else in Korea is a struggle. As soon as I come back, I will nap this jetlag off and we can all go out to eat,"
"I would like that very much, Ennie. So, you wanted me to call you?"
"Yes. Check the email. I sent my work for your song. I hope it sounds okay."
"Wait, you finished it?! All of it? Your background vocals and all?"
"Yeah! I just gotta finish up Stigma and the others,"
"You worked on it so quickly."
"Well, you are a priority," she smiled softly, earning an adorable eye smile from him.
Him a priority? That made his heart leap.
"I played around with it and I like how it sounds. Play it. If you like it, I will send it to the producers to see if they give it the OK. And if you want me to change something, let me know."
Opening up the file, Jimin played it for both of them. The look in his eyes when he heard her guitar was priceless.
"Oh-my-God," he blurted out in English, causing her to laugh. "They have to accept this! This is-this is so good! Thank you for doing this for me. I hope this version makes it on the album after they do their final touches. And if they reject it, let us release it on SoundCloud. Army should hear this,"
"Sounds like a plan,"
After shutting down her computer and ending her call, Jen sat on her bed and tuned in to Jin's Eat Jin V-Live on her laptop. There he was with Jungkook and Jimin rambling about various things. And they had her cracking up with their bickering when they playfully fought over snacks.
But once fans brought up Jennie in the comments, her heart ached as she realized how much she missed the guys. Especially Jungkook. She missed his hugs. How he would hold her firmly and gaze down at her with that adorable smile of his. This visa needed to hurry up and go through. She wanted to wrap her arms around her man again.
"How is Jennie?" Jin read the comment. "My sweetie is doing fine. She has been working very hard. Please look forward to her return. Jennie, you are missed dearly,"
She let out a chuckle, "I miss you, too..."
"I miss your baking, too," he added, making her laugh at the screen. "Bake for me when you come back. Just don't tell the others,"
"We're sitting right here, Hyung!" Jimin called out. "Bake for me, not him!"
"Hush!" Jin playfully smacked him while Jungkook laughed. Turning back to the camera like he knew she was watching, he continued. "The dorm doesn't smell that great without your bath and body works items. You know, the ones you always buy for us. Please return soon and get the visa straightened out. I look at your picture in my wallet every day," he showed Armies the photo of him and her back in 2015.
"He still has that picture?" Jen murmured as she smiled.
"Jungkookie misses her the most," Jimin teased, making the Golden Maknae blush and look down shyly.
"Of course, she's my best friend. I bet she misses me more than you two," Jungkook added.
"Lies! I am Jennie's favorite," Jin stated.
Laughing, Jennie went on to text Jungkook.
Jen: Awwww this live is too cute. I miss you guys, more. I'll be back soon. P.S: I miss you the most, Kookie. I love you. Can't wait to hug and kiss you again
Ding!
The sound of bells was heard as Jungkook looked down at his phone. He read her text with a big smile and looked up at the camera like he felt her looking back at him. It made her heart flip and her face warm up with the way he stared at the camera. Meanwhile, Armies were gushing over the loving gaze Jungkook was showing out of nowhere.
'Why tf is he staring so hard like that?! He looks so hot!'
'Omg Jungkook is showing so much boyfriend material right now.'
'That stare! He's making me blush!'
'Jungkook a warning would have been nice!'
"Who was that?" Jin asked.
"Jennie. She's watching the live," Jungkook smiled brightly.
"She texted YOU and not me!?" he complained.
"Hey, that ringtone sounded familiar. Like a bell. Why a bell?" Jimin teased.
"No reason, Hyung. I thought it sounded nice," Jungkook shrugged.
------
The next day, Jennie started to work on her solo song. Bangtan's solos were supposed to go by age. The plan was for her song to be the first but Big Hit switched it and made her song last. The boys had begun filming for their WINGS films while she hadn't yet. A lot of big things will be happening for this comeback. One of them was her hair was finally going to get dyed. She was nervous because everyone had anticipated her having a new hair color since debut and she wanted it to be worth the wait.
With her solo song, she thought the lyrics and instrumentals were fine. But every time she sent it to the producers, they told her something was missing and it frustrated her. How come everyone else's song was fine but her song was getting the most criticism? Her song was different. Experimental even. This wasn't a sound that is usually in BTS. She'd showcase her DJ skills on the launch pad and guitar.
"Do you feel like singing today?" Pdogg asked as she sat on a video call with him and Slow Rabbit.
Jennie furrowed her eyebrows. "Of course I do. Why wouldn't I?"
"Because to me, it seems like you don't feel like singing,"
She sighed sharply, trying to not let her annoyance get to her. "I'm doing the best I can,"
"It's missing something, Jennie. It's almost there but something is missing," Slow Rabbit added.
"Look, this is the best I can do," she exclaimed.
"No, it isn't," he shook his head. "I know you can do better to make this song even more enhanced. Shout it out. Scream it,"
"I'm trying to shout it,"
"Well, you aren't shouting it," Pdogg said. "You need to dig down deep and sing out what you're feeling for this song,"
"Here, take a break from working on your song, today. Work on the guitar for 2! 3! and Lost. Send it when you're finished," Slow Rabbit said.
"Fine," she nodded and ended the call.
She sighed loudly out of annoyance and ran her hair back with her hands.
"Fuck my life..." she complained.
She didn't want to work on anything at this point, she was so bothered by what they told her. After a moment of getting herself together, she did what she was told, playing the guitar for Lost and 2! 3!
After she sent it in, she was praised for her efforts and had the rest of the day off from working on music. But her song continued to be on her mind. How much better can she do for this song? What else did they want? What was missing? She did want to sing. She sang as passionately as she could.
"What do you want me to do...?" she complained softly.
She went back to the document for her song and stripped all her vocals to start over. She listened to the instrumental of her song and sighed, understanding what she had to do.
'You want me to go back to that dark place...' she thought.
She didn't want to. She didn't want to think about it. She even had second thoughts about picking this song for this album but it was way too late to change now. This song was to express how she felt the day she got mobbed during her sister's play. Sure, it happened last year but that anxiety she felt and the whole experience still traumatized her. All those hate comments, the pressure, the high expectations, and the growing fame, began to overwhelm her as she realized that she was not a normal teenager anymore.
She'd always appear to have a smile on her face but deep down she was scared and in the back of her mind would always wonder when this would all come crashing down.
That dreaded day of Vienna's play made Jen want to stop performing entirely and just go back home and deal with school, no longer being in the spotlight. To try to grasp what normality she had left. But after the support from everyone after that incident, she wanted to try to face all that negativity and destroy it with positive thoughts once and for all. This would be a start to that. To sing about it and twist it to optimism.
As she sat by her desk, she put her headphones on.
"Okay...let's go back to that nightmare..."
---------
After crying, belting out high notes, and singing out her pain, she made the producers happy with her new and improved vocals and took a break from singing to dance.
Jen continued practicing the choreography for Blood, Sweat, and Tears, which will be BTS' comeback song in October. She was in the living room, performing a demo version of the song while Vienna and Alani were on their phones chilling nearby. Mr. Son and J-Hope sent her videos of where she will be and her choreography for the comeback.
It was...very sexy. This seemed like it was going to be a sexy comeback.
As she worked on perfecting her movements, she sent them recordings of her craft to get feedback.
After dancing for a few hours, she took a break and watched Family Guy with her sisters on the couch.
Buzz Buzz Buzz
A video from Jimin? What was he up to now? Since she left, the boys had sent her funny videos and photos. This was probably one of them.
"Ooo another video? Let's watch it! They crack me up!" Alani said.
"Yeah, why not?" Jennie pressed play while her sisters joined her in to watch.
The video showed Jimin, V, and Jungkook goofing around and practicing BST in the practice room.
"Jungkook! Imagine the floor is Jennie!" Jimin called out.
Out of nowhere, Jungkook did his signature handstand for the song, slowly lowering himself on the floor to grind against it.
"Jennie..." he said in a low voice, smirking at the camera.
"AHHHHHHH~!" her sisters screamed around her while Jen dropped her phone and shrieked.
"He did NOT just do that!" Alani shouted.
"And said your name like that! Are you two-"
"No!" Jen exclaimed, cutting Vienna off with her face flushed.
"You sure!?"
"Yes!"
"I dunno man, that sounded like that's not the first time he said your name like that~!" Alani added.
"Oh my God! Stop!" Jennie covered her face.
Vienna grabbed the phone and replayed it so they could watch the entire video. Her sisters continued to freak out around her from his floor grind.
Jennie was NOT expecting a video like this. She thought it would be meme faces. Not him grinding against the floor.
'Wow, I wish I was under him...' she thought before shaking the dirty thoughts away.
My gosh, what was he doing to her? Everything he was doing made her squirm.
After he finished grinding on the floor, Jin was heard yelling to stay professional while Jimin and V laughed.
Her sisters kept replaying the video, expressing how surprised they were.
"Is this really your boyfriend? Because whew, the duality...girl..." Vienna fanned herself.
"I'm a little nervous about how he can turn into such a cute boy to something like this," Alani added.
"Right? He is so adorable and then he ends up popping out like this. No wonder so many girls swoon over him. Jen, watch out for all them female idols after your man," she teased.
"You know, you were staring kind of hard at the screen," Alani called Jennie out.
"I was not!" Jennie exclaimed as she grabbed her phone.
"She's so flustered," Vienna laughed with Alani.
Alani snatched the phone from her hands and ran to their mom who walked out of the kitchen to see what the ruckus was about.
"Mom! Get a load of this!" Alani laughed.
"Stop it! Give it! Mom, it's not what it looks like! Get off me, V!" Jen shouted as Vienna held her down while Alani showed the video.
"Um...what is he doing to my youngest?" their mom asked, wondering what the heck was happening.
"Nothing! Nothing at all! He was just messing around!" Jen said and got let go.
"You think he was? He looked pretty serious," Vienna teased.
He was just joking...right?
Or perhaps he wasn't. Because her head began to go crazy with the way he said her name so low like that. It'll be something that wouldn't be out of her mind for a while as she plotted a way to get him back for making her so flustered in front of her family.
---------
With Jimin and V, they waited for her to reply. Curious as to why she had not responded yet, they looked back at the message and saw that she had read it. The two burst out into laughter.
"Jungkook, I think you killed your girlfriend," Jimin giggled.
"I did?" he asked, surprised. "What happened?"
"She hasn't responded to the video and left us on read this entire time," V laughed.
"I-I didn't make her uncomfortable, did I?" Jungkook asked with worry.
"Nah, don't worry, it's the other way around, Jungkookie! Hehe, you'll see. Just give her a moment to pull herself together. I'm sure she's quite flustered as we speak because of you," Jimin smiled confidently.
-------
Back with Jennie, she continued to pull herself together. This man may just be the death of her. She then thought about the time she and Jungkook performed the coming of age ceremony in the practice room and recorded themselves. Man, those lyrics...
Jen: Jimin wtf!?
Jen: Wtf is he grinding on the floor so hard for!?
Jimin: kekekeke it took you a while to reply. You liked it, didn't you!?
Yes. Yes, she did.
Very much actually. To the point, she wanted to be the floor.
Jen: Okay yes but he needs to calm tf down! He can't be doing stuff like that when I'm not there! I'm suffering here!
Jen: omfg wait don't tell him I said that!
Jimin: Tell Jungkook. Okay. Got it
Jen: Jimin! NO!
"She liked it," Jimin laughed and showed Jungkook the messages.
Jungkook laughed, feeling his cheeks warm up. A large part of him felt relieved that she liked it.
Maybe they could make it a reality soon.
---------
As the days went by she continued to finish up working on the choreography, and went to Facetime with Jimin. Things were beginning to appear...off about him. And the sad part about it was that she knew.
She knew all too well what was going on.
She didn't want to believe it. She thought that her mind was playing tricks on her but his face was slimming down at a rapid rate and it began to worry her.
"Jimin?" she called out his name softly after he stopped laughing at his story about pranking Hobi.
"Yes, Ennie?"
"Did you eat today?"
Jimin's stomach dropped at her question. Of all days she had to be so observant. He would only eat once a day and tried not to eat a lot to lose as much weight as possible for their next comeback. It was an intense choice and he had already been feeling the side effects such as dizziness and fainting as he tried to work hard on his dancing.
"Yeah, why?" he lied, feeling his heart ache.
He hated lying to her. He knew she would do anything to get him to stop if she had known what he was doing in Korea.
Jennie narrowed her eyes slightly, watching his body language.
'You're lying to me...' she thought sadly.
"I dunno, to me you just look a little smaller in the face," she admitted.
"I'm eating, don't you worry, Ennie," he flashed her an eye smile
"I really hope you are..." she murmured. "Just take care of yourself, please. Promise me that?"
"...I promise."
"Okay...I have to go. I'll talk to you later,"
"A-all right. Bye Ennie,"
"Bye, Chim Chim," she ended the call and exhaled.
"I truly hope you're okay..." she murmured, fearing for the worst.
After her conversation with him, she scrolled on Twitter to check out what Armies had been saying about her while she was away. She was pleased to see how much she was missed.
'I'm so upset Jennie isn't in the ISAC this time because of her visa.'
That made her realize that today was the day everyone would be filming for ISAC. She was bummed she couldn't play volleyball this year. Instead, she would be cheering Bangtan on miles away whenever they sent her videos and photos.
'Whatever team she was supposed to be in volleyball would have won'
'ISAC probably made sure to schedule it when she couldn't attend since they know the other girl idols can't beat her in volleyball. Their loss'
'ISAC knows damn well Jennie will beat every single female idol in volleyball. They just don't want her to shine. They did that for The Boss Is Watching. We didn't forget!'
Snickering at the comment and agreeing, Jennie went on and liked it on BTS' Twitter which quickly got a reaction from fans.
'OMG I KNOW SHE WAS THE ONE THAT LIKED IT!'
'She liked!!'
'Who else would like it from their page? Jennie knows what's up!'
'Ooooo she's watching us'
'Lmaooooo she knows!'
'She soooo petty. The shade!'
'This confirms it!'
-----------
With Jungkook, after filming for the show, he went to visit Namjoon in his studio. He had a lot on his mind regarding his relationship with Jennie. And he felt like Namjoon was the best person to talk to.
"Hyung," Jungkook spoke up.
"Jungkook," he greeted with a smile and gestured for him to come in. "What brings you here?"
"I uh...can I talk to you? I figured you were the best one to talk to about something like this,"
"Yeah, of course. Shut the door and take a seat,"
As soon as Jungkook plopped down on the seat next to him, he sighed. "It's about Jennie,"
"Is everything all right between you two? I know you've been feeling down because of the distance,"
"I'm fine. And yeah, things are great. It's just that...well she...she's just...on my mind a lot lately and I can't stop thinking about her in that way."
Namjoon immediately knew what he meant and nodded.
So, it was about that time, huh?
He had a feeling this was going to be happening sooner or later with how touchy he's been with her, lately. And with that floor grinding video, it didn't just look like a simple video to mess with her.
"I had a feeling this was going to happen sooner or later. Have you told her any of this?"
"No, I...I want to but part of me chickens out,"
"You two talk about everything. Why do you think this conversation will be different?"
"I just don't want to turn her off or scare her away, I guess. Or make things awkward if she's not ready like I am,"
"Communication is key and Nini is extremely understanding. You're overthinking it. She loves you and is not going to be scared away that easily. When you feel ready, speak to her about this. And make sure you two are alone for this conversation. Not when the boys are around and acting loud,"
--------
After spinning around in her seat, Jennie played what she had worked on for Taehyung's solo song, Stigma. She helped with the background vocals with jazzy oohs and ahs. She smiled at how his voice sounded. His high note was astonishing to hear and she couldn't wait to hear it live when they go on tour.
For Suga's solo, First Love, she played the guitar for it and noticed the hidden melody of So Far Away which had gotten her emotional.
"Take a break!" a loud voice startled her. Jennie turned her head to see Alani by her door, arms crossed. "You've been on that thing all day. A break won't hurt. The album ain't going nowhere. And you finished everything so just chill for once,"
"Nooooo, I feel like there is still work to be done," Jen complained.
Alani simply rolled her eyes and left.
"Well, that was easy to get her to leave me alone," she murmured.
While she continued working, she suddenly heard music blasting which happened to be Rihanna's Pon De Replay. Before she knew it, Vienna and Alani came in with a large speaker, dancing.
Come, Mr. DJ, song pon de replay
Come, Mr. DJ, won't you turn the music up?
"Oh my God..." Jennie covered her face with her hands, laughing softly. "Really?"
"Come on~! Living room, let's go!" Alani said over the music, holding the speaker.
"Rihanna dance party! Take a break! No more album work, today!" Vienna grabbed Jennie and dragged her downstairs with them.
After Alani set the speaker on the floor, she continued to dance around Jennie with Vienna.
"No more thinking about work today. Loosen up and dance with us. It's Rihanna! Come on~!" Alani exclaimed, earning a sigh from her youngest sister. "If you ready to move say,'"
"Yeah, yeah!" Jen sang with a smile.
"One time for your mind say it,"
"Yeah, yeah!" her smile got wider and she joined in to dance with them. "Well, I'm ready for ya, come let me show ya. You want to groove, I'ma show you how to move. Come, come,"
"There you go~!" Vienna cheered.
It was good to take a break and Jen was thankful for her sisters. She did feel overwhelmed with this album dropping in October. There were high expectations and she wanted to make sure she did everything she could to make the songs great with the small role she was given.
Where Have You Been came on as Vienna tried to remember the choreography.
Where have you been?
'Cause I never see you out
Are you hiding from me, yeah?
Somewhere in the crowd
"I learned it in a dance class a while back. Hold on," Vienna began to think as she stood in the middle of her sisters.
Once the beat dropped, she executed the dance break with no errors while her sisters followed her.
"Oh~! I remember! From the music video!" Alani added.
"When Rihanna and the dancers did that pose that looked like an eye? Top tier!" Jen praised.
"Yeah, that was the coolest thing," Vienna beamed.
As songs like What's My Name, Hard, and Umbrella came on, the trio sang their hearts out while bouncing around the living room and on the couch. Once Breakin' Dishes blasted on the speaker, they became excited since it was one of their favorite Rihanna songs.
"I was waiting for this one!" Vienna yelled happily.
"Are we singing it like we usually do?" Jennie asked with anticipation.
"Let's switch it up!" Alani suggested.
"All right, I'll go," Vienna offered.
He been gone since 3:30
"3:30!" Jen shouted.
Been coming home lately at 3:30
"3:30!"
As the chorus came on, the trio danced around, pretending to be angry while shouting out the lyrics.
I'm breakin' dishes up in here, all night
I ain't gon' stop until I see police lights
"I'm still waiting, come through the door. I'm killing time, you know, bleaching your clothes!" Jennie sang the second verse like she was tired of a man's BS. "I'm roasting marshmallows on the fire. And what I'm burning is your attire. I'm getting restless,"
"Uh!" Alani shouted.
"I'm getting tested!"
"Let him know!"
"And I can't believe he's always out every night and never checks in!"
"He cheating?"
"Is he cheating? Man, I don't know. I'm looking 'round for something else to throw!" Jennie grabbed a pillow and threw it.
After spending the next hour partying to Rihanna's songs, Jennie went to plug in her music and pressed shuffle. Fall Out Boy's Irresistible came on which made her smile.
"Hey, didn't you make a cover of this song recently?" Vienna asked.
"Uh huh!" she beamed, thinking about the series of covers she had done and posted on BTS' SoundCloud for ARMY.
"Did Fall Out Boy notice you, yet?"
"Yeah! I met them! They're so cool! I hope we can collaborate, soon!"
---------
With Matt Rife, he continued to search on social media about Jennie, getting to understand who she was and what she did. He even checked out some fan accounts about her and thought she was even cuter than he anticipated. What surprised him the most was that she was taking self-defense classes. Her teacher had posted a recent video of her throwing him over her hip for a quick takedown after grappling him. Matt was astonished by how strong she was.
What a beauty.
He scrolled through the comments as fans geeked out that she was doing fine in America and raved about how strong she was.
'Omg she really did that!'
'I feel bad for the members if they try to mess with her now, lol'
'RIP Jin! She's preparing for their wrestling match!'
'Can she throw me like that on the ground?'
'If she throws me like that, I would say thank you'
'She can punch me in the face anytime!'
'MOM!'
'Wow, she's so strong'
'I love that she's taking self-defense classes. I want to take them now.'
Soon after, he couldn't help himself and wrote a comment too.
'@JJennie_JW you can throw me like that anytime ;)'
And of course, he was told by Armies to back off.
---------
For a while, ARMY began to notice a shift in Jungkook's demeanor. He did not seem as happy as he usually was and his jokes weren't common like they used to be. Sure he'd smile and laugh whenever he was with the members but the truth was that this distance between him and Jennie was difficult to adjust to. It did make him ponder about this being a preview for when he goes off to the military.
Twitter noticed his attitude change and made threads about him being unhappy. Along with that, people were asking about Jennie and her future with BTS because it seemed like she wasn't doing anything or being involved anymore.
'Okay WHERE is Jennie? Thread'
'Guys Jennie has not been active with BTS in a while. She has not been with them for their recent concerts or V-Lives and I am worried something bad happened'
The thread went on to come up with various theories on the matter while armies were quick to put in their two cents.
'I hope she isn't leaving BTS.'
'Yeah, where tf is she? And she hasn't posted anything in a while! That's unusual! BTS stay posting but there is nothing about her these days'
'They talk about her on vlive so that's a good sign things are fine, right?'
'You think she fought with a member or something?'
'Come to think of it, maybe that's why Jungkook has been looking off these days. They may have fought and aren't on speaking terms'
'Like you see the body language of Jungkook lately? They had a bad argument and aren't friends anymore'
'What? What kind of mess is that? That's a dumb theory'
'You guys are dumb. It's her VISA'
'A visa doesn't take that long to go through. She should be back by now'
'Come to think of it, yeah, you may be right. I'm sure things are finished by now and she could come back to Korea'
'I think her visa is taking longer than usual and that's why. Relax,'
'Maybe Big Hit is just letting her spend more time with her family like the perfect company they are!'
'Nah, Big Hit is sabotaging her. She should be back with Bangtan'
'No, they're probably letting her spend more time in America before coming back. They're a great company and allowing her to spend time with her family. Calm down'
'No, they're not a great company! They are ruining her! She needs to get out of there. I hate seeing her inactive'
'All y'all need to just trust that things with Jennie are going to be fine. Stop making everyone anxious about this. Jennie is still with BTS'
Since Jennie still couldn't go back to Korea yet, the staff decided to fly to America to film her Wings 8 video. They rented a big space to make sure they had all they needed for the short film. The company decided to have her video and song be the last ones out of the group. The solo videos were going to begin getting released around September 4th and her video was scheduled for September 19th before they changed plans and made her show up last.
Despite working on the album, Big Hit still wanted her to remain off social media. It had been hard since she wanted to engage with fans and shout out other idol groups for their comebacks like Monsta X and Got7 but she did what she was told.
'Short Film Making Story'
'#Evermore'
With the camera filming her getting ready, she happily waved to it and began to speak.
"Hey, it's your girl Jennie and today I am here to film my Wings short film! And look! My hair is finally dyed! Frickin red! Ahhh~!" she cutely jumped up and down and showed it off before letting the stylist continue their work. "Now y'all can stop asking me every single comeback! I mean look at this! Look! This hair is amazing! I look so good! I'm glad I went through with it. Red looks great on me! Rihanna vibes!"
"She cried," the stylist put her on blast.
'Miss Bangtan Is Put On Blast'
Jennie stared at the stylist, astounded. "I-I didn't cry!"
"Yes, you did. You were like, 'Oh God please let my hair be okay. Please don't let it fall out or get damaged,'" the stylist teased.
"Shut it!"
Jen went over to the set that looked similar to an airport as she wore jeans and a black and white hoodie with a messy bun.
"I have no idea what the guys are doing for their short films," she added. "But since I'm here in America, the staff came here so we can film. Even though I'm having some visa issues, that doesn't mean I'm stopping my bag. We're making this work. I want you to see a different side of me for this comeback. I hope you look forward to it and keep cheering me on,"
She was given a bag to carry as the stylists did the finishing touches to her hair and makeup.
"I'm supposed to be playing three people today," she announced to the camera with a nervous expression. "My regular self as you see now and then my dark and good personas. Kind of like an angel and a devil on your shoulders. It's going to be cool how the video is going to be created."
"Action!" the director announced.
Jen went on with the role, walking through the airport, clutching her bag. She looked around frantically before rushing into the women's bathroom.
After recording her walking a couple of times to get all the right angles, she was then filmed in front of a bathroom sink. She placed her palms on it with a troubled facial expression as she stared at herself in the mirror. Before she knew it, she backed away, startled, and began to look confused.
For the scene with her back in the home she was in for the I Need U MV, she did a costume change, wearing a black suit with a black lace bodysuit under it. This time she was playing her evil persona with her hair down.
"I lowkey always wanted to play an evil person. I wonder how long it'll take for me to get into character. My sister helped me practice for the role. I hope she likes my acting and doesn't roast me for it. My acting lessons will pay off too!" she laughed. "I'm supposed to be speaking to myself. It'll be weird speaking to air but in the video, it'll have all three of me in the shot. So, you'll see how it all develops,"
Once she heard action, Jennie leaned her back against the counter and glanced over nonchalantly at her dead ex who was on the floor.
"Welp..." she murmured coldly and turned to where her other self would be leaning over the counter. "Hey. Pull yourself together."
'Jennie channels her inner evil self with charisma'
"Come on, let me take over. I'm tired of this 50/50 fight," she said smugly like she was looking at the good persona of herself.
For the last shot, Jennie sat in the waiting room of the airport, playing some notes from her solo song on the guitar. While she played, someone walked over to her which caused her to stop and acknowledge the person. The camera remained on her, only showing the person's footsteps to keep viewers guessing who had found her.
Once the director announced that the shot was finished, everyone cheered while Jennie happily jumped out of her seat and bowed politely.
"Thank you! Woo! I'm done~! Yay! I can't wait for the video to drop! Look forward to it ARMY!" she waved goodbye to the camera.
-----
Wings 8: Evermore
"I wanted only to live in accord with the promptings which came from my true self. Why was that so very difficult?" Jennie narrated from Demain before the screen faded in to reveal her feet running through the airport.
It panned up to her back as footsteps and her heavy breathing were heard. She had been running and slowed down the pace to speed walk. There was hardly anyone in the airport as she looked around, clutching her bag tightly with her guitar on her back. She appeared troubled as several thoughts went through her mind like she did something regretful and thought someone was going to find her.
All that was on her mind was that she had to leave. Asap. She could not stay here. Not after what happened.
Finding the women's bathroom, she rushed into it and set her bag and guitar down against the wall. Jen exhaled sharply, and approached a sink, placing her palms on it. Slowly, she looked up to meet her reflection in the mirror.
"You're okay..." she whispered to herself.
She looked fine but on the inside, she felt like hell. Upon looking at herself, she was startled when a woman that looked exactly like her, stared at her from behind. Only not in a bun but with her hair down and black clothing.
This dark figure she stared at smirked softly, which caused Jennie to look confused.
What was going on? Why was she staring at herself wearing different clothes and hair? The dark figure even had the same white butterfly necklace in contrast with the dark clothes.
Jen tilted her head to the side and watched as the figure copied her movements. She then tilted her head to the other side and watched as the figure did the same. Swiftly turning around, she was met with nothing. The woman was gone.
She took a few steps forward. Okay, maybe she was imagining things.
But little did she know, the dark figure was behind her. When Jennie turned around, her face was cupped into the dark figure's hands, and her forehead pressed against hers, ending the shot as the screen went black.
For the next shot, Jennie was back at home where she was in for the I Need U MV. She had on the same white dress from the MV with the messy bun still intact.
She stood against the kitchen counter with her forearms on it. Her face remained emotionless as she thought about what had just happened.
The camera panned over to the feet on the floor that belonged to her ex. To ease her nerves, she tapped her shaky fingers against the glass of water she had in her hands. Her mind began to fog up with negative thoughts about her fate.
Abruptly, the dark persona of hers leaned her back against the counter, crossing her arms. She glanced at the body nonchalantly.
"Welp..." her dark persona spoke coldly. She had no remorse for the man. She turned to Jennie and watched as she was still in a state of shock. "Hey. Pull yourself together..."
A loud sigh was heard as Jennie's good persona stood on the other side, facing the counter. She wore a white suit and her red hair was straightened. A black butterfly necklace was placed around her neck as she stared at the body sympathetically. She placed a hand on Jennie's shoulder.
"Are you all right?" her good persona asked.
"Of course, she is. He got what he deserved," her dark persona answered, earning a frown in return.
"It was an accident,"
"An accident? Please...if he's dead, he deserved it," her dark persona bluntly replied.
"She is not a bad person," her good persona denied and removed her hand from Jennie.
"That's where you're wrong. There's a bit of evil in all of us and you know it," her dark persona turned to Jennie who continued to look forward. A wicked smile crept on her lips. "I bet that felt good...tempting..."
"It was a scary situation she was put in. It didn't feel good at all. She's full of remorse,"
"To you. She's more like me now and soon she will become all of me,"
"She will never become what you are. Not while I'm here,"
"Look around you," the dark persona gestured, briefly looking around. "Look at what happened. This is her true self,"
"This is not her,"
"Yes, it is. She won't be needing you, anymore. Come on, let me take over, I'm tired of this 50/50 fight,"
"She'll atone. I'm not giving up on her,"
"Well, it certainly wasn't you that she channeled to do what she did. You're too soft. Enough was enough."
The good persona ignored her and leaned toward Jennie's ear. "You are still a good person. You defended yourself. It was self defense."
Having enough, the dark persona grabbed Jen by the chin and turned her head slightly, speaking in her ear as she glared at his body. "Look at what you've done. Look at him suffer! He deserved every bit of it! This was what you wanted to do for a very long time. This was building for weeks!" she began to shout angrily. "These men think they can do whatever they want to us, say whatever they want, disrespect us, and hurt us?! No. They did it to the wrong one this time,"
Jennie seemed to have slowly gotten out of her shocked state when she heard a loud groan from the floor.
So he was still alive...
That calmed her nerves a bit as Jennie managed to walk across the counter to stand and look at his weakened state. He faintly called out her name in anger, uttering out curses.
"Huh. So, the piece of shit is still alive," her dark persona said with a scowl as she stood next to Jennie with her arms crossed.
"Good. There's still time," her good persona said, standing on her other side.
"No..." her dark persona turned to Jennie. "You know exactly what to do...end it,"
"No. Don't throw it all away. You're better than this. You are not alone and you know which route to take," her good persona said as the trio looked at the man on the floor.
Back to reality, Jennie had awakened in the waiting area of her flight thanks to her phone notifications going off. She also noticed that it was getting close to her flight arrival and more people were showing up at the airport.
Curious about the messages, she went through them and noticed it was all about whether she was all right which made her tear up. Everyone was asking for her whereabouts. But she had to ignore it and keep moving forward. She needed to leave.
Before she could turn her phone off, the person she wanted to avoid the most began to call. She hesitated to answer as she stared at the caller ID while the camera didn't show who was calling.
Placing her phone back into her bag, she grabbed her guitar out of the case and began to play the opening notes of her song to distract herself.
The camera panned to the floor to show footsteps approaching her and they stopped near the row she sat at. As Jen stopped playing, the instrumental of her song continued to play in the background.
Feeling a hand on her shoulder, she let out a breath and acknowledged the hand. She then slowly turned her head to look up in the direction of the individual she predicted to find her as the screen faded to black.
"Looks like you found me..."

*stumbles onto your blog, tripping over various tree root and covered in leaves* Hi! I heard you have a Dragon Rider AU!!
Is everyone humans? Are some people dragons? It’s it angsty? Do you have a general plot? What kind of location is this based on? What kinds of dragons are there? Is dragon riding widely accepted? Can everyone do it or just a select few? How do people get their dragons?
Well hello there! :D
I've gotta say this is a LOT of questions but I do not mind at all!! Just this gonna be a long post, and speaking of which onto the answers!
---
Is everyone humans? Are some people dragons?
In this case everyone is human for this au!
Is it angsty?
Mildly?? I personally would consider it, bittersweet I suppose? The bit I'm working on currently is very focused on the shattered nature of DTeam's dynamic so I'll say good mild angst rating with a happy ending eventually (Angst may also be higher for the dnf enjoyers)
Do you have a general plot?
I have quite a few plot notes actually!! Currently I'm focused on what is a prequel to my original idea, which is shelved temporarily for reasons, so now this part of the story is focused on Dream and how he's dealing with his choices - and his attempts to run away from his role in everything.
The short version is basically: Dream is heir to his brother's (DreamXD) throne and well he wants absolutely nothing to do with it, this leads to a lot of rash decisions and unfortunately attempts to shove away his friends. A spiral very similar to canon dsmp just different motives. Inevitably though when he finally claims a dragon he at last has his ticket to freedom and makes a break for it to have his freedom. Shennagains then ensue, including obligatory Drunz cause I eternally love their character dynamic, Rivals Duo being rivals, XDnf in the distant background, and various other things I'm working out still!
What kind of location is this based on?
In general I am taking a lot of vibes from Westeros from A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones, a very very classic medieval fantasy vibe along with the actual layout and environment of things being loosely based on the actual maps of the dsmp!
What kinds of dragons are there?
At the moment just wyvern style dragons, a lot of my inspiration for the dragons comes from House of the Dragon as well as the works of Sawyer Lee (Sawyerleearts on insta/da he has some AMAZING work)! Effectively all the same 'species' of fire breathing beast but they all have their own unique features and looks! Though I am considering maybe adding ice and lightening breathing dragons as a fun little reference to the Ice & Fire mod - not much would change design wise, just kinda mixing up the breath abilities if I do go with that.
Also have some of my current concepts (newest to oldest, since I'm still in the process of changing designs)
Is dragon riding widely accepted?
Dragons in this case are rare, and dragon riders are rarer - when dragon riders usually come about they become part of a kingdom's greater military force or some similar high standing rank. Dragons are tickets to power if you don't already have it pretty much, they are after all the fantasy equivalent of a multi use nuclear weapon! Though there are some outliers who have dragons but don't align with either kingdom in the realm, these being sell swords/mercenaries like Punz or just lords who wish to remain independent and not everyone uses them for war. In general I'd say it's a very respected position to have.
Can anyone do it or is it only a select few? How do people get their dragons?
The criteria for someone to bond with a dragon varies a bit, pretty much anyone can bond and develop a link with a hatchling - if the wyrmling imprints on them after hatching it's a free ticket pretty much! Though hatching dragon eggs is not easy, and the hatch rates of them are very low. The other option to get a dragon is claiming a wild one. Bonding with wild dragons though, is more difficult, no one is exactly sure how it's done but the rider usually has to have some recessive magic genes effectively (magic is a long dead art but remnants of it's influence remain, i.e potions & enchantments). When it comes to claiming a wild dragon what also matters is the dragon also choosing and accepting the rider, things can turn a bit- nasty if they decline the bond. Gaining a dragon is in general no easy feat, adding onto that sort of instant status boost dragon riders can gain if they succeed in getting one!
---
Thank you for the questions btw!!! It thoroughly made my day to see a full list of stuff to answer about this project ^^

hi hi! i love your series on twst characters in our world sm <33 could i request them realizing that this is what it felt like when you were sent to their world? and probably gaining (even more) respect for you? bc being sent to a new world is terrifying and kinda painful and really, really weird??? and the fact that mc just,,, went with it with only a little bit(?) of psychological damage is wild. there's not too much to say so it can be as short as you like :3!
What I’m hearing is that you want more angst and I am very happy to deliver. I’m two seconds from doing whumptober at this rate fkshdk
I ended up doing it in a oneshot format instead of regular headcanons, I hope that’s alright. This also wasn’t as angsty as anticipated but I might go back and do something similar that’s more angsty at a later date 🤍🤍🤍
The Wrong Side of Paradise
Characters: riddle, Trey, Leona, Ruggie, Azul, Jade, Floyd, Kalim, Jamil, vil, rook, Idia, malleus, Lilia
Cw// mild angst, mental health issues, sad vibes, hurt/comfort, arguing, yelling, fighting
For people who crave order, it’s incredibly hard to let go of everything you know and be thrown into something different. For the fantastical, being trapped in the mundane is torture. For the optimistic, knowing there’s no way you can return home on your own dashes hopes like bitters in a drink.
It’s been a week since their arrival in this new world, and everyone had finally had their breakdowns. Some sooner than others, some slower. The group of (mostly) teenagers sat quietly in their friends living room, silent in contemplation as soft classical music played. Their TV had a fireplace screen saver, in an attempt to make them feel more at home, since they had no fireplace, and it only worked a little. The ambient noise was a comfort, but when one would catch the screen out of the corner of their eye, they could no longer delude themself into everything being fine.
“I miss Ortho.” Idia finally spoke, his voice barely above a whisper but the silence made it carry.
Some turned to look at him, others forced their gaze to the ground.
“I miss Silver and Sebek,” Lilia lamented, leaning toward Idia where they sat on the ground.
“I miss my idiot freshman.” Riddle admitted, fidgeting with his hands. He would never dream of doing either under normal circumstances, but he was simply as far away from his rules and his mother as he could be. What was there to stop him?
Floyd sighed. He was sitting cross legged on the floor, with Jade sitting on the couch behind him and Azul beside Jade. Floyd leaned back against Jade’s legs, looking tired, “This discussion is a bummer. Can’t we talk about something better?”
“Better? We’re stranded in a world, money-less, homeless, magicless, and with no concept of what this world is like outside of this house. What could possibly be a more important discussion than talking about it?” Jamil snapped, eyes narrowed on Floyd.
“Are you lookin’ to get squeezed, sea snake? Cause I could use some stress relief~”
“Enough.” Leona said firmly, blinking an eye open to look between them, “They’re both right. There’s no point in moping around, we gotta do what it takes to survive.”
“Easy for you to say, Kingscholar. You never cared about your life before, and it’s not like your kingdom will notice the spare prince missing.” Vil spat, gaze icy and hard.
“Guys, we shouldn’t fight about this.” Trey tried, attempting to reason.
Leona and Vil began to argue loudly while Floyd began crawling his way over to Jamil, who was climbing higher and higher on the couch in an attempt to get away from the former eel.
Malleus coughed to get their attention. This failed, however Riddle did notice and took action as well.
“ENOUGH!” He shouted, all eyes now on him, “Malleus has something he’d like to say.”
“Malleus as something he’d like to say.” Leona mocked in a high pitched voice while rolling his eyes.
Malleus paid him no attention, “You know, it seems as though there is one person who may be able to understand this plight we’re in that we haven’t consulted.”
Everyone looked confused before Malleus sighed and pointed in the direction of Yuu’s room.
“The prefect? But-“ Kalim began before cutting himself off, “Oh…”
The room went back to silence as they all looked away from each other, faces burning with shame, “Is this how-“
“What’s going on?” Yuu asked, stumbling from their room while rubbing their eyes, “I heard shouting, is everyone okay?”
They looked the most tired of everyone, despite being the one person asleep at the time.
Riddle’s face went red with embarrassment, “I apologize, Prefect, it was an attempt to- ah, prevent a fight.”
“You guys are fighting?” Yuu asked, an eyebrow raised.
“Again, I apologize-“
Yuu began to laugh, looking delighted, “No, no, this is good. I’m glad.”
“You’re…glad? That they’re trying to kill each other?” Idia asked, looking very worried.
“Not the killing each other part but,” they took in a deep breath and let out a little sigh, “You all haven’t been acting right for a week. And fighting each other is kind of the NRC pastime, so in my book you guys fighting is a win.”
The group went silent for a minute. Ruggie began to laugh, then so did a few others.
“I guess you’re right, Herbivore.” Leona admitted, chuckling just a little.
“It’s how we show affection.” Floyd added, finally snagging Jamil’s ankle and pulling him to the ground. He put him in a headlock, laying half of his bodyweight on the poor vice housewarden, who struggled.
“Help me-“
“Floyd, be gentle with Jamil, please.” Jade said, hiding a smile behind his hand, “you know how fragile humans can be.”
Malleus beaconed Yuu over, who sleepily grinned at him, “What can I do for you, Hornton?”
Malleus’s face fell for a quick moment at the mention of his horns, but returned when he remembered the nickname, “We we’re discussing how…difficult it is to adjust to living here. Without magic.” He said quietly, “I thought you may understand that issue best of us.”
Yuu looked soft, eyes melting into sympathy as they nodded, “Yeah, I do.” They said before turning back to everyone else, “I know exactly what it’s like. And I’m so sorry any of you have to go through this. Especially because of me…”
Kalim got up and pulled Yuu into a hug, “It’s worth it, Yuu. And besides, Crowley won’t leave us here forever. And even if we are…” he began, but let the thought die.
Everyone had an expression of pain or misery on their face. Most people were curled up with someone else. Vil and Rook were cuddled close on the couch, Leona and Ruggie were close to each other on the floor. Malleus and Lilia both sat right by the couch, leaning on it, while Azul, Jade, and Idia sat on it. Jamil and Floyd were forcibly cuddled on the floor, while Trey and Riddle sat together in an oversized armchair.
Yuu watched them from where their head rested on Kalim’s shoulder and smiled, “You won’t be stuck here. I promise. Even if I have to travel the world for a solution, I won’t keep you away from your homes.”
Lilia stood up, stretching his back for a moment before going over to the lamps and turning them off one by one, “I think it’s time we get some rest, my friends.”
The group let out a series of grumbles either for or against this notion, but Yuu merely laughed.
“Time to split up, I suppose. Whoever beats me to my room can have the bed tonight!” They announced, dashing for their room as the room began to darken.
Floyd, Jamil, Jade, and Ruggie all got up to run after Yuu, trying to beat them to the doorway.
In the end, the five that ran tugged the mattress to the floor and made a pillow fort, sharing it, while those in the living room did something similar with the couch cushions.

Can I just say I’m OBSESSED with your new story “You’re Half of Me Now” like I cannot begin to express how much that first chapter drew me in. It’s so SO well written and just, AH so good.
I was wondering! Since Branch’s hair got cut, is it noticeably shorter now, or did it go back to his usual length since it was already extended when cut? Honestly I would love to know more lore behind cutting a trolls hair, and how long it would take to grow back/heal… God I love Branch angst, and your characterization is just to die for.
I’m so excited to see what Chief has planned for Branch… (‘No, I can’t serve you to the kingdom. You’ve got a far better use though.’) Ma’am, MA’AM?!?! WHAT DO YOU MEANNNNN!?! I can only really think of one thing and I’m like, pretty sure that ain’t it???? So what is it???? I’m so so curious.
AND I cannot begin to gush about Creek. Personally I hate when people try to redeem him, not to say it can’t be done, but like, he’s such a bastard of a character, and I like to think he always has been. He 100% gives the vibes of a secret bully when someone (Cough Branch Cough) is alone with him. Mean girl behavior. And you write him so nasty, urgh I love it. Love his characterization.
Branch begging Bridget to help the others (HIS village) in the same breath as telling her to make sure Poppy doesn’t come back for him… this boy. Also love love love Guy Diamond too, him being older (Which makes so much sense in terms of Tiny Diamond), how you can tell he respected Branch during their talk of escape.. Ah I’ve never really thought about him much, but you made me interested in him! I can def see him insisting on getting Branch back as it’s partially (Not really but still) his fault Branch ended up in that situation.
Anyways! Just wanted to gush, because the story is living rent free in my head. Final question, are you cool with fan art of your fanfiction being made as long as ur credited and tagged etc? I was doing some doodles and I just wanted to double check with you :) KEEP UP THE STUNNING WORK!
ahhh first things first I’m so sorry for the late reply I may have maybe possibly forgotten I made a tumblr and I’m awful at replying so I’m sorry!!
on branch’s hair I plan to get more in-depth with it later in the story, but I really adore the idea that troll hair is a very sensitive thing (for it to be so strong it’s gotta have some nerves in there) and the idea of it being cut suddenly and without consent being a horrible thing. Branch’s hair is definitely shorter and will stay that way a long while and I’ll get more on that soon!!!
also so glad to spread my anti-creek agenda to the masses, he’s such a slimy passive aggressive dick and I despise his ‘redemption’ in the series. Tis bullshit. I had a lot of fun channeling his bastardness, he’s a menace to them all and I hate him.
also very happy to spread my Guy Diamond agenda, he snuck into this fic and took it from my hands and held it hostage and covered it in glitter and wouldn’t let it go. He always seemed older to me idk why, and the whole tiny diamond thing just matched with it well!
ALSO ALSO I would probably actually cry if you made fanart of my fic, as long as it’s credited to me im totally fine with it go wild!
again I’m really sorry for the late reply but I’m glad you’re enjoying my writing and tysm for the ask!!!!

Long rambly post about Phantom Liberty incoming cause HHHHH
Gonna put it under a read more just in case, also cause it got long, and bc I know people will still wanna avoid spoilers!
So.
Mr. Hands, amirite??
Holy shit, he is so cool XD Different than what I imagined, but so much better. Pure visuals-wise he's giving the biggest Sheogorath vibes, and a little bit of an older Dragon Age Dorian. I'm so here for it. Also the fucking phonecall he was on with his kid I assume when you first enter his office omfg XD The dad-est dad to ever dad, then a political schemer and so fashionable XD Also, he deserves his nickname 100%, his cyberhands are so cool. Also, the first fixer that offered Vince a drink and Vince actually didn't have to decline cause it was tea (and I bet it was really good, high-end shit, and that's how you get Vince xD). Also his gigs are all so good like... so varied, and always with difficult choices or just super interesting and entertaining storylines. "Waiting for Dodger" has gotta be my favourite one so far, and I'm excited for what's to come still!
Sure as hell this is gonna be a profitable business relationship (and I'm also super duper intrigued about his political interests and what he's planning/ where he's seeing Dogtown's future like... he doesn't like Hansen in power, he's affiliated with the VDBs AND Netwatch, and I'm just so.... I'm smelling political change, and I'm a bit sad that V didn't get some more inquisitive dialogue options about it all (but maybe that would've been too much at that point... ooor maybe with a few more gigs done the picture will get clearer).
Then also a bit more lore and hhhhh... I don't think I'll incorporate this bit into Vince's canon as is, but again, with everything Corpo-background-lore stuff in PL so far, I love the overall super dark and grim picture being painted like, gimme the angst!! Imagine being so dependent on your job/ so brainwashed/ under your bosses' control they can manipulate you into killing a guy just a few years older than you at that point with the promise "that's the last one... for a while, at least. Here's your raise". This also again lines up really well though with what I actually do have in Vince's background during his time at Arasaka, looking at the vibes and pressure and everything in general (even though the first guy he killed was someone else 👀 but similarly, it also gave him a raise, his supervisors' trust, and so so so many mental health problems).
BUT THEN FINALLY PARTY TIME!!
Maaan... the whole setup of sneaking into the Black Sapphire was so amazing to begin with. The diving portion gave me the worst claustrophobia and flashbacks to all the cave diving accident videos I've ever watched xD The portion with the sniper nest was also so cool but I failed epically at it repeatedly xD Did pull it off like a pro on my third attempt though xD I wish you could do it without having to kill anyone and I figure maybe it is possible. Definitely gonna play around some more on my second playthrough that is surely to come!
Then V's disguise I actually dig so hard XD Purple and black and gold super fancy suit, hell yes! And a nicely tailored one, too. Although Reed's outfit was also 👀👀👀 The main game was really missing a "infiltrate this party" like quest, and damn, did PL deliver with this one.
Then of course I had to have a look around and all the special guests made me so fucking happy xD I was crying at Hideshi Hino and Johnny pointing him out, he was one I would not have expected to meet XD Then also all the newsanchors!! Month ago I was like "ah, it makes sense that Gillean Jordan and Ziggy Q and whatnot have character models, but still so sad that they don't actually have a physical appearance in game". Phantom Liberty is the gift that gives on giving in that regard with fulfilling my little silly wishes like that XD And of course they're all horrible and awful, and I love it XD Goooood-Morning-Night-City Stanley raging about disowning his daughter cause she's into exotic implants, Holt conspiring with Arasaka, again, of course... And Lizzy Wizzy not really happy to see Vince cause I didn't help her get rid of Liam xDD
Also fucking damn... Songbird. First of all, her chrome is insane o.o I'm so torn about what to think of the whole situation like... I can definitely see what Reed says, that she's playing both sides, using Kurt to get her (and V's) cure, the other way around playing him by not actually wanting the president dead... But idk. I feel like something doesn't quite add up just yet. And that is: why even bring V in the equation? If this all is *really* just about curing herself and freeing herself from Myers' clutches, as Kurt says later on, why bring in a random merc with a ticking timebomb in his head and not the best track record when it comes to breaking into high security locations to steal things? (sorry Vince).
Idk. I'm not buying it just yet, neither is Vince. He doesn't trust Songbird still, neither the president, both are still a means to his ends - although he also doesn't wish anything bad on So Mi as such, like, she is fighting just as hard for her cure as he is for his, so he can definitely relate to her struggles and whatnot. Being degraded to a tool for people to use as they see fit.
Reed gained a little trust and sympathy with coming clean about how the FIA got rid of him, that Songbird had to pull the trigger on him, metaphorically speaking and like... Vince is not sure if Reed wants revenge on Songbird or actually help her, or if maybe he wants revenge on the president and the whole "I'm just serving my country" thing is not just a very good act. He wouldn't be surprised at least if in the end this all does turn into a personal vendetta. Also, on a meta level I really loved Reed being like, despite everything they did to him, he still feels loyal to the FIA and wants to work for them, in a "I know my place" vibe - similarly how a Corpo!V can be like "I know where I come from" towards Hanako at Embers, that the FIA, in the end, is not too different from a Corp that still has Reed captured how Arasaka has Vince captured and he also couldn't guarantee to not go back to them if they offered him a deal good enough. So, on that basis, I feel like they can really understand each other.
Then these two omfg. Cackling at some details in their profiles still XD The whole roulette scene stressed me out so much, but it was also so fun and unique, really something new! Although internally dying when Aurore got all touchy feely all of a sudden and just picturing Vince utterly losing it internally and just wanting out of there, and then surpressing a sigh of relief when she's like "it's not like I wanna hop into bed with him" to her brother after being scolded xD Like hhhhhh playing this game with a gay OC is so fucking uncomfortable sometimes xD If I had one wish for a future Cyberpunk game it would be more male characters shamelessly flirting with the MC like this oooor at least giving everyone, regardless of gender etc etc the option to turn sth like that down to begin with, like... "oh, sorry, think you misunderstood, I wasn't actually flirting with you".
Would've preferred to flirt with him though:
aksdfhljkasjfhöasdjfhadsflas He's so. SO.
A little more than how I imagined him than most of the others I met so far, but he is also pretty out there. He sure as hell is a lot more layered than what you would think at first glance and I really really love that. I played Vince a little snappy and straightforward during this convo with him, cause I wanted to see how he would react, if he'd keep his calm or if he'd be aggressive or whatnot and in hindsight I wish I'd been a bit more friendly XD Also something for my second plathrough when I really make my canon choices, this first run is for testing the waters and getting to know everyone. THEN I can think properly about "how would my character even react here, truly" xD
Overall this was such a fucking good mission like, holy fuck. So much to see, so much to do, so many people to speak to, I feel like I've forgotten half of the intel I learned already - another reason why I'm looking forward to a second run xD
I still cannot even remotely guess how the DLC is gonna end too like, I feel like after every main mission everything I knew is off the table and there's a whole new array of options I hadn't even considered before. I do hope we get a lot lot lot more stuff on Kurt, cause he is being pinned as... not quite the bad guy in all of this, but not someone you should wanna side with. But I just know there is a lot more to all of this. I could kinda see that it does end up being something like "Songbird has to stay with the FIA and as Myers' pet, Kurt gets defeated, but we get our cure" versus "Songbird gets freed with Kurt's help but all hell breaks loose in the NUSA and Reed won't be happy about it". I feel like, whatever happens though, there's gonna be a war in a few years time at the latest, be it another corporate war, something with the NUSA and Myers schemings (that I'm 0% surprised about btw, do not trust her one bit still and that won't change anymore XD) but yeah.
YEAH. Next up: identity theft! I'm really fucking scared of that cause I remember one of the first trailers where V is getting that mask-like thing put on their face - I'm guessing exactly what Alex has, and I'm guessing it's cyberware... That would be such a big NOPE for Vince, holy shit XD I prefer my flesh-face, thank you! If this is not something that's reversible I pass.
We shall see... but yes. Damn. What a fucking good story so far, even with my long breaks inbetween playing, I'm still hooked anew every time I get to continue!
And again: if I'm way off with any of this (which is likely) or even if I'm guessing some stuff correctly that will transpire later on (which would also be awesome, cause then they're doing their foreshadowing right), please don't tell me or give me hints about it XD I would love to know how your Vs felt about the party cause damn... fanciest party Vince was ever at and will probably ever go to, but he wishes he could've stayed and just actually forgot about everything and partied properly XD Been too long since he did that at that point!

oki doki, after a bunch of breaks but still an obsessed spree, I'm done binging the Shot in the Dark Masterpost!!!!
Ofc I have a million things to say but let me just tell you I was so hooked and mad abt the fact that there were so many prompts and stories that I never stumbled upon cos they were buried under all your other posts, and MAN, I am severely addicted. To Cliff especially he's the loml I would literally die for him.
Crazy in Love had a GRIP on me. The romance was amazing, the angst, AND UGH JON LOSING HIMSELF MADE ME LOSE MYSELF LIKE UGH READING THAT CAUSED ME SO MUCH PAIN AND TENSION AND I WAS LIKE YES SYLVIA YOU GOTTA TELL CLIFF and I was genuinely so scared for her at the same time, like once again, y'all do emotion, so, damn, well.
Lost and Found was also really really good and it gave me much better context about the world and backstory considering I haven't read the books yet, but if I had to introduce a friend to the universe it would probably be through this. It really highlighted the platonic relationship with Cliff and Sylv and the angst at the end is still fresh in my mind even though I read it like two weeks ago and a million other stuff?? And duh, Jon and Sylv being literally the most delicious romance I've ever read. MAN. THEY CARE ABOUT EACH OTHER SO MUCH THAT IT HURTTTTSSSS WHYYYY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME AJHBSJHBJVBHDV
Out of the prompts I think the ones that really stuck with me are probably any of the ones that had to do with the siren fairy- like man. Any time Sylv has to against one or BOTH of her boys just kills me. I cannot. I am addicted LOL
also Cliff constantly rejecting Sylvia when she wants to heal him is so like. I love how it's clearly something that happens a LOT and it just connects them better. Like. Cmon buddy. Ik. But let her heal you like come onnnnnn. but then at the same time im like SYLV IT'S FINE JUST LEAVE HIM BE. BUt no. SHe can't. and i'm so happy that she doesn't.
Pocket Nap! IS ALSO AN ADDICTION, I AM ADDICTED TO IT THE WAY I'M ADDICTED TO TEDDY BEAR WITH XANDER AND GRAYSON. Something about sleepy prompts just gets me, you know?
overall that was amazing and I love them more then I ever have before and yeah!! Ik i haven't rlly been active but TRUST me I still come to you and Mary's pages almost every single day and yes!!!!!! so so sorry this ask got way longer then I thought it would !!! love ya!!!
AWWWW omg this made me night!! I am so happy I put together that masterlist of Shot stories, since it made it easier for you to look through them all!
Sylv's relationship with the boys fuels my happiness so much! Jon and Sylv are SUCH a comfort couple, and the sibling vibes between Cliff and Sylv make my heart GLOW ✨ Her demand for pocket naps is so valid. And the healing argument literally kicks off in the rewrite of the first book--just finished editing a bit of that 😭
Gosh I would love to revisit the siren fairy idea at some point. I'm a sucker for making tinies terrified of giants they trust wholeheartedly LOL. Sylv having to use magic against Jon and Cliff is so heart-wrenching and I need moreee 😩
Thank you so much for this sweet feedback!!

Heya friend, I love the posts about songs that people have for PS! Personally, I listen to the entirety of the Tetris Effect soundtrack when reading (and rereading) the fic.
It also helps that the songs are meant to help you get into “the zone”—it’s an instant Proficiency Bonus in Comment Writing for me ᕙ( •̀ ᗜ •́ )ᕗ
My top 5 songs from the album would be:
City Lights
It's without a doubt is my sparks fly song. When we get our incredible lovely TyStar moments, this is the song that comes to mind. The build-up! The funk and the rhythm! And the way Tyrus and Astarion fit so well together, working in tandem and being each others’ home! 🥺😭
Boscage
This is the essence of the Angst With Happy Ending tag for me. It’s all about freedom and loving life. (But who knows if these themes’ll apply to the end HAHAHA)
Connected (Yours Forever)
So despite how the lyrics feel more Tyrus-y, I honestly associate the message more with Astarion. And on a smaller note, there are also some theories I have related to how Astarion’s scar connects (hah!) him to the other sacrificial spawn and what it means for Astarion to be the one to "sing" this to Tyrus :P (It's just Astarion Nat20 persuasion checking that nerd to live)
Here
Is a more low-key pick, but I think it does a great job capturing the various small moments they must’ve had when they were feeling safe. Like in Tyrus’ Tiny Hut, or when they climbed into a single bed together in the dorms. And the way the song builds reminds me of how important these “insignificant” moments feel when you look back on them. To me, they add up into this giant wave of nostalgia; a great reminder of being loved.
Hometown I gotta say this one was hard to place at first. It’s very PS for me, but I couldn’t put into words why. In the end, I think it’s all about hope and remembering how love strengthens you and keeps you moving forward.
The lads have gone through a lot, but they have each other. And whenever the Horrors™ are unleashed upon them, they always find strength in their most beloved and return home, and I think the song resonates with me in that regard. :D
If you give any of these songs a listen, let me know your thoughts! But no pressure on replying to this or anything, I just got a burst of Want-To-Write-about-PSirosis and wanted to share! (ﾉ> ◇ <)ﾉ~~♡
Hi friend!! I also very much enjoy people's song recs, so I was terribly thrilled to tune into yours 🥰
First of all, I love all the funk and rhythm going on in these songs, it was unexpected but a ton of fun to listen to! I think my favorites were Connected (Yours Forever) and Here. I totally agree that the connected song could be either Tyrus or Astarion's pov, there's a lot of back and forth on which one of them is comforting the other, so it just depends on what part of the story we're talking! Either way works 💙 and the Here song just has great vibes!!
Funnily enough, one of my three PS playlists is titled "yours (forever)" so how could I resist adding such a relevant song to it?? Lol that one is basically my ushie-gushie Tystar romance playlist so it fit too well to resist. Thank you so much kiltdroy!!!
#fic: perfect slaughter#ask me anything#just slept 11 hours guys#i feel like a brand new human lolol#still have a lot to catch up on post-trip tho ughgh

tokrev lookism au
jay never says yes to joining the daniel crew, he leaves to study in seoul national university and become a doctor to help them in the future because if he joins the daniel crew his father still has the power to destroy him and everything he loves (including daniel) for real
he finishes his bachelor degree at age 24, then on his graduation day he sees it on the news: daniel, zack, and vasco all died in the boss battle against charles choi / dg / gun / whoever at the end
he gets hit by truck-kun the day after, which yeets him back to the same day 6 years ago (oof the emo blondie days!) which is coincidentally the same day daniel asked him to join the daniel crew (yes i know it's Allied but daniel crew vibes better) but this time jay says yes because he thinks if he joined the crew, maybe daniel and his friends wouldn't die
daniel fights hudson ahn to convince him to join daniel crew, jay knows daniel can probably hold his own so he kind of sits aside with zack who's bitching about hudson, jay offhandedly mentions he's from the future and zack holds his shoulder like "bro are you okay" but that sends jay back to the future
jay wakes up in the future to find out somehow zack survived the gang fight and also saved him from truck kun, they discuss things and jay's like aight. ig we just gotta go a bit further in time and same daniel and vasco then. and then Plot Happens and jay manages to save vasco but daniel still dies at the end
More Plot Happens and we reach a crossroad for the ending:
1) happy ending jay saves daniel and actually confesses and they beat the Twobody Dilemma and get married and live happily ever after with zack and vasco as best men
2) Angst Route daniel dies in front of jay's eyes Every Single Time bc he couldn't fight the narrative

Bestieeeeee! These two are too much! I'm so in love with them!😍 How they know each other so well and manage to anticipate their needs, and their banter is like a wave of fresh air that makes me laugh and brightens my day!
How you picture Joel's relationship with Sarah is so good. The image of him reading to her before bed had my heart bursting with love! Why do I feel like Sarah will team up with one of them to get the other on board with the day scheme? LOL
I love the vibe I keep feeling that while it's sweet and fluffy, light and fun, at least for now, there's this angsty aftertaste I cannot get rid of, with the mention of Goldie's troubled relationship with Anna, and those words she remembered.
''It’s Goldie, he’d said then. It’s the worst thing that could happen, I wish it was anybody else… '' They can have so many interpretations!😳
And the awkwardness due to physical closeness and attraction has started! But can we fault Goldie? It's Joel we're talking about, lol! And it's not only how he looks, it's how he is and how he treats her. She's doomed. And while getting laid might be quite the idea after her divorce, I'm not so sure how it will end. How she got while she pictured him during her solo time was pretty self-explanatory. If only they would properly talk!
Thanks for the chapter!♥️♥️♥️
EEEEEE HI BESTIE!
I'm so happy you're loving these two! They're so easy to write, I feel like I would hang out with either of them and they just make me so happy. I can't wait to write them as their relationship evolves and changes through the fic!
Joel is SUCH A DAD. He just took to it like a fish to water and writing him and Sarah is such a joy. They're so sweet together and he just adores his daughter so, so much. And Sarah is definitely a schemer!! She's so smart and funny and yeah, it's going to be very fun lol I can't wait.
There's definitely some angst to be had in this fic but it's not the main focus. But the tension that's there between Joel and Goldie as they try to navigate their friendship and their feelings, the ✨intrigue✨ about what happened just after prom that sent Goldie running across the country, everything surrounding Anna. There's a lot of life to contend with as they try to get their collective shit together! And yeah, that line can have a LOT of implications but Goldie very clearly took it one way, especially in the context in which she heard it. Which will be revealed eventually lol but you know me, I gotta draw that out at least a BIT otherwise where's the fun??
And yeah. I definitely don't blame Goldie. Honestly, woman's got insane self control, I'd have been trying to kiss that man in SECONDS, he's so hot, he's such a good friend like how can she NOT be in love with him?? Guess we'll just have to see what happens 👀
Thanks for reading, Bestie, and for your lovely ask!! Love you!!!!

I am going to take a little bit of liberty with your requests, just a little, and interpret it in the way I want, so it may not be exactly what you asked for but it'll be pretty darn similar, or at least give you those vibes:
Sweet fics (College AU/High School AU + Namkook/Taekook)
Homesick by nebulaazul (Namkook, Growing Up Together AU, 4 Chapters, 43K, T, Namjoon left his friends and family behind in Korea for 10 years to do his PhD, and when he came back, nothing was quite as he remembered it, mild angst with a happy ending)
retrouvailles by inevitaeble (Taekook, Highschool AU, One-shot, 42K, G, JK has had a crush on Tae for as long as he could remember, but right before he left on a year-old exchange program to Thailand JK was convinced that Tae could never like him back, and so he tries to get over him, mild angst with a happy ending, mutual pining)
degrees of denial by astringxnt (Taekook, Harry Potter AU, One-shot, 10K, M, Head Boy Tae hates Griffindor quidditch captain JK and everyone knows this, except one day Tae walks up to him during breakfast in front of everyone and asks him out on a date, crack and angst and fluff)
Get Out of My Dreams, Get Into My Car by meanho (Taekook, College AU, TA AU, One-shot, 9.7K, G, JK gotta get that bread so he decides to start ubering, and surprise surprise his first rider is none other than his hot TA Taehyung)
Hope you liked these! They've all come out of my old bookmarks lol

hi dan!!
hope you're doing well. i got added to the evermore taglist some time ago but i've been following the series for a while now. i honestly need to get better at reblogging/commenting on my fave creators works. . .but i wanted to share some of my thoughts on evermore! usually anything that involves exes and past feelings and a heck-ton-of-angst is not my thing. . .but after my sibling introduced me to your series, i got really invested. we would discuss theories and speculate abt what caused ayato to break up w yn. actually no. we'd just trash talk him (LOL)!! i enjoyed (and continue to enjoy) the slice-of-life kinda parts in evermore, esp. when y/n tours around the city and gets to enjoy the mondstat scenery. it was comforting to read and your writing gives off this very pleasant vibe similar to a handwritten letter.
the evermore plot twist shocked me a lot! jean being diluc's fiancé was smth i expected (bc there is no such thing as a smooth road for y/n and relationships @-@) yet didn't. but. . .i also didn't want y/n to end up diluc or even ayato after reconciling w him. y/n has to find happiness alone first. which sounds contradictory,,but it seems like bad news to find a new love at your ex's wedding XD (???). diluc also gave me sm mixed signals, but he clearly does like y/n. this is all opinion soooooo hopefully i don't get thrown into the dadaupa gorge!!
i hope u continue writing and don't get discouraged by the mixed reactions to the plot twist and anything else u might have in mind for evermore and other works!! it's ur story and ur story alone so only u can tell it!! it's incredibly brave to share anything u write w the world. u interact w us a lot and provide such a good content!! we'll (your pen pals) will be waiting patiently for any updates and will be grateful for anything u post, me included.
thank u dan !
TLDR: i'll support evermore til the end. <3
im at a loss for words 🥹🥹🥹 i gotta thank your sibling for recommending you evermore, they got good taste /hj 🤪🤪🤪 i love how its universal for readers of evermore to trash talk ayato (/j) — im glad you enjoy the slice of life parts of this series; ngl i think youre the first person to mention about that unless my memory’s cranking 🧍♀️🧍♀️🧍♀️ im also flattered and happy that you think my writing is somewhat like a handwritten letter — esp since my blog theme is letters :DDD
you’re very right ab how there is no such thing as y/n and smooth relationships, they fr need a break ✋😭😭😭 youre also right about them finding happiness alone !! that’s exactly why i decided to make diluc taken (+ wouldnt it be weird to instantly have them together after a 1 week trip???) — as for your mixed signals about diluc,,, who knows,,, maybe there’s a reason for everything 🤫🤫🤫
dw comrade, ill still continue writing and keeping all of my ideas for evermore :>> your kind words def made me more motivated to write and it made me so happy to see your supportive words and your support 💖💖💖 ill continue to try my best with evermore and future fics, ty again comrade <333

Some quotes for you!
"No river runs among the dead cliffs / our story is written to its end"
"You no longer have time for anything but bitter tears"
"Let the broken hearts stand as the price you've gotta pay"
"It ain't no sin to be glad you're alive"
"And nobody smiled as we took back our own"
"But I can live and breathe and see the sun in wintertime"
"No river runs among the dead cliffs / our story is written to its end"
Ooo I don't know who this would be about, but man I love the vibes! The story is about lovers who had to hide, and who are probably either immortal or then people who are long gone. Maybe it's written from the perspective of an archaeologist/treasure hunter who discovers the story in an old cavern where there used to be a river or something?
"You no longer have time for anything but bitter tears"
Okay so this is a story of feral murder child Astolfo from Vanitas no Carte. Actually I very well might use this for a story I'm planning about him, for after the Beast of Gévaudan arc when he's still healing from his injuries. He's having bad flashbacks to the time he lost his whole family to vampires, and, out of all people, it's Roland who's helping Astolfo through them. Because Roland was there and saw the carnage, because he knows how much Astolfo was hurt that night. Basically it's just fluff with major angst as Astolfo's letting himself be vulnerable for a bit. (I don't think he has much choice, after how injured he got at Gévaudan tho!)
"Let the broken hearts stand as the price you've gotta pay"
This makes me think of Garashir in a weird way. Post-canon, they somehow stumble into each other, and they're older and more bitter and their hearts are broken...until they realise that they can pick things up from where they left it. They can fix each other's broken hearts, live somewhere with no war, no evil. Just two men, mending their hearts and their garden, as well as some clothes and broken bones!
"It ain't no sin to be glad you're alive"
Okay so I got two ideas. Idea 1 is a reembodied elf in Valinor, grappling with the fact that they were dead, possibly killed others and then...they're alive again. Knowing me, it would probably be about Maeglin.
Idea 2 is about Vanitas no Carte, about Noé and Domi. They're all grown up, still missing Louis terribly. One evening, they talk about a lot of what-ifs (after Domi has found out that she and Louis are twins) and Domi says something along the lines of maybe it would have been better for Louis to live and Domi to have been the curse-bearer and Noé says that what the hell Domi, that he's happy that he's still got her at least. Like obviously he is sad about Louis but he would be just as sad about Domi if it had been her instead of him.
"And nobody smiled as we took back our own"
This gives me the vibes of the time after the Battle of the Last Alliance. Elrond is tending to the broken body of Gil-Galad and wondering what it even was that they were doing, if the victory even was a real one when so much had been lost either way.
"But I can live and breathe and see the sun in wintertime"
After the end of 07-Ghost, Castor and Labrador having thoughts about things like breathing, feeling, and other things associated with living, something they hadn't thought they could do any more. They're human again and it feels all sorts of weird.

I really don't think romantic Jiara is going to be rushed this season. Maybe it's just me lowering my expectations so I'm not disappointed, but if the anniversary party angst really is happening as late in the season as episode 8 then I don't think they're going to officially get together this season.
Which I'm totally fine with btw! I'm here for the slowest of slow burns always. I think their journey this season is going to be more about the two of them getting closer on the island, then their pining for each other when they get separated back at obx, that will ultimately lead to some angsty goodness while they try to figure out how they can fit into each other's lives without Kie getting sent away.
I can't wait to see their very first scene alone together (most likely spear fishing on the island) because that first scene is really going to set the tone for their relationship going forward. If I start to feel some different vibes from them (like with the surf trip conversation) then my opinion will definitely change, but as of right now I'm thinking we're heading for a finale where they both know they like the other person but nothing has been done about it yet. Leave that for S4 ;)
That being said if we do actually get a kiss/almost kiss by the end of the season I would still be pleasantly surprised!
I agree with everything you said here so I don’t have a lot to add! I for sure think episode one and their first scenes in general are really going to set the tone for how far they’re taking Jiara this season, and the giving us a journey of pining, angst, coming to terms with realizing they like the other person (for Kie especially) and just generally giving them more screentime is what I’d really like to see in my personal ideal outcome. Like a really good set up for them to get together in S4. I think the painfully slow buildup suits the ship and them as people most, plus I think this burn has room to burn for another season. It’s not feeling tired yet.
I don’t think it would necessarily be rushed if they got together this season though, nor would I say I’d be totally surprised if they kiss. Ten episodes is a lot of room! I do think it could go either way but if they kiss it’s gotta be an end of season kind of deal. I get why some people want them to go ahead and do it this season (fear of cancellations, near two year long waits, etc).
I am just going to be happy with Jiara content. I think it will be good, so no matter how far they take it or don’t take it I can’t wait to see them again.
