yesss exactly! i was very much thinking about like... hades and persephone, but with minho being only one of MANY grim reapers. idk i love the idea of minho just... being one of many. and yet also being the one to not only make but OFFER the exchange. it's not so much that it's unprecedented or forbidden but it's... idk discouraged? rare? bizarre? for a lowly servant of death to be making his own deals instead of only serving fate.

i also love the idea of jisung just... immediately being like. oh, this must be death himself, this must be a god, this ethereal beauty in a metaphysical being that entraps souls. when actually minho's like. the equivalent of a supernatural office worker. later, after they're joined and jisung hands his soul over (minho's never had a live soul in his ledger before, when jisung asks him what it feels like, he pauses for a second before blithely answering "heartburn" (it's not like heartburn it's like feeling butterflies in his stomach but jisung doesn't need to know that)) jisung's surprised he can still visit the earthly realm, even if not for long periods of time. he spends most of it in the library looking up records of past kings bc SURELY this man was royalty or nobility when he was alive... surely he was someone important. someone who's face was printed on currency or canvas.

idk if they'll become ACTUAL full fics bc im pretty possessed by my wips rn. but like. obviously if you ask i WILL just... ramble about them at length.
