Can I ask how does imprinting work?? Like im confused by it since in my head if someone is like “forced to like each other” it’s not like a good thing but is imprinting different from that is it like “soulmates” or is it like the people have to like each other to actually imprint or what
I took it from the "Tw1l1ght" series and put my own spin on it. In the books, a wolf ultimately is somehow just devoted to that person. It's not always romantic either. Basically they become the ultimate perfect person for the imprintee so it could be a lover. a friend, a brother - that wolf is hardwired to be absolutely whatever the imprintee desires.
In my fic, it's more like a soul mate bond. You have a character (Hyvne) who is so stubborn and so dead set that he fights what's in his nature because that's the type of person he is. If this were absolutely canon, he wouldn't fight it. It's a battle of heart and head with him. Especially since his sexuality comes into question, it's an extra layer of "this can't be happening to me". Hope that helps.
newly guessing that mnh0 in iohy imprinted on hyvnjn before hyvnjn's first shift !! i love this f!c so much
Very interesting theory. Hopefully new update soon. I've spent a lot of time making sure it has everything making sense.
You won’t believe how many times I’ve reread the last chapter, Even a priest does not read the Bible that many times in a month🥹 hug u🤗🫶
Wah, that's crazy! I'm glad you enjoy it enough to reread it!
HI do u know how long you’re gonna make this fic??
Word count? No clue. Chapters? Maybe 3 or 4 left.
Since the fic is literally my roman empire i have a lot to say! In ISYA hyunje is super clingy almost codependent i wonder if we are going to see that change in dinamic especially with the pack around since it feels like they have been progressing almost in secret and hyunjin avoinding it like the plague- u have also hinted at a minhos past involving seungmin, and i wonder if that is still gonna happen and if possessive hyune will make his debut? Im so excited everytime you post cant wait for the new chapter
Hahaha...
There is a huge event and a resulting resolution that I think explains the shift we see in Hyvne in ISYA.
I can say for everything you asked, there will be answers. The simple, maybe not explicitly explained part of pack relationships is that pack is pack. They might fight or squabble a bit but in the end, they're a team. They have to have a sort of unspoken comraiderie that they're all there for the same reason. Hope that makes sense!
Hiii i just found this fic recently and basically binged through it in 2 days, finished chapter 9 yesterday and just wanna say i am so excited!! One thing i'm really curious about is when mnho's eyes changed colour during their first time, was it a one time thing? did hyvjn's eyes change too and would it have anything to do with their imprint? Anyway much love and thank you💕💕
I'm so happy you found the fic and are enjoying it!
I can actually answer that! I guess I never really explained it but it also happened to Chan in the first/OG fic (and I have a whole scene explaining it in the sequel that's in-progress).
I wouldn't say it's /directly/ from the imprint but it's more of a way that shows a shifter's composure is sort of slipping. You can think of it like a partial shift in a way. In my head, I envisioned it like when werewolves in "Teen Wolf" would sort of lose control with heightened emotions - including sex - and their eyes would literally glow or when Edward destroyed the bedroom during his honeymoon with Bella in "Twilight". It's just a way to show their control is slipping a bit.
i’m really very down today, and your tweet about the update improved my mood. Thank you so much 💖
I'm glad to know it helped and hope your mood continues to improve! 💚💚💚
I'm so excited for hyvnho to have to face the reality of their imprint >:) I'm wondering if Chn would talk to them about it given the circumstances (that would be so awkward on the poor pack alpha 😭 I love chn in this, I love all of them but ANYWAY-) . Ive wondered too if Mnho knows what imprinting is, its shown to be very rare and not seen anytime recently so I dont think he would but when Hynjn was snapping at him in the kitchen about Jisu and the kiss Mnho seemed surprised and confused at the mention of an imprint. so im really curious how Mnho will take that 👀 I feel like hes onto something at least, like hes not in denial about having attraction/feelings to hyvnjn like hyvnjn is to him. But i wonder whether he'll be jarred by what an imprint is and whether he might even have thoughts about hyvnjn only having feelings for him because of the imprint 😵💫 all in all im down bad for this f!c and no matter what happens ill be excited 😊
Some very good thoughts and ideas! I will say you have some things correct :)
No theories or questions or anything just super looking forward to reading more. I dont really go into reading chapters with any sort of hopes(not meaning negatively) its just i know you write where it needs to go and it flows well and i just enjoy every moment (even the pain) cause its such an amazing experience reading everything. Much love to you💕
Anon, that is so sweet. I'm glad to hear things feel necessary because I'm always worried it's too much or too boring so thank you for that. Hope this update doesn't disappoint 💚
do u think it’ll make sense for me to read the prequel story first and thennnn the other one u wrote first?? or no? I like doing that with books for some reason whenever there’s prequels but idk if it works like that or if I need something from the actual first one first
I've never had this asked before but actually, no. The prequels main characters are side characters in the OG story and its more of a coming of age. The OG story explains lore enough and has brief touches of what happened between Hyunjin and Minho sprinkled in. The prequel has very little involvement with the original BUT reading the prequel first won't ruin the OG story. It's preference. There is a little bit in the very beginning and very end that go to a time after the OG story but I don't think it's hard to follow. Both can be read as standalone, really.
are you still working on side to side?
absolutely. just slowly. i have other projects that have taken precedence over that fic.
