i've seen the darkness outside us passing around a while ago but i wasn't fully sold until i saw you recommend it haha..thanks for the rec!
omg hi there! not sure why i didn't get a notif for this message sooner?? but i'm glad my recommendation helped! yeah it does a great job of keeping you guessing and keeping you on the edge of your seat! the action, tension and romance are exquisite!!! i highly recommend and hope it doesn't disappoint if you decide to read it. and thanks for letting me know 💖💖
it's morning and i'm smooth brained rn but i hope you have a better day today!
Milking such large-scale au, I prefer a complex deal out of all 8, You can, if you wish, maximize your vision of dynamics, it can also be shown how the loss of even one can both rally and destroy the bond. If we take couples specifically, then I prefer chamber (?) au, where you can take a closer look at the relationship
ohhh okay anon so you mean you'd rather focus on 1-2 pairings in a large-scale au than juggling an ot8 or "everyone is in a couple" situation? or if it's ot8, looking more at how one person's presence can make or break the group? if so, totally valid! i have a bad habit of putting everyone in a relationship in my fics lol. but what do you mean by chamber au exactly? just curious and want to make sure i'm understanding correctly! thanks for the ask!!!
you are the cutest hedgehog ever accept my love!!!!!
HELLAUR. what are your favorite ships to write? are there any you want to write but haven't yet?? tell us everything 🤲🤲
HI ANON!! 💖 this is honestly a tough question for me because i'm a rare pair enjoyer, as well as a p0ly enjoyer. but with that being said, i have some favorite pairings so i'll list the ones that come to mind and whether i've written them before:
5kz:
- hyvnsvng (written several times, the most out of all 5kz pairings)
- sevngn/sevngyng (also written a couple times and have a long wip for them!!)
- bnsvng (written once but have a couple wips)
- 3r4ch (only wip so far)
- bnchn (only wip so far)
- mnsvng (written once and have a couple wips)
- sevngbn (written once and have a wip)
- hyvnmnsvng / sevngnbn (my favorite ot3s that i REALLY want to write at some point)
- other jsvng pairings (haven't written yet but would like to take a stab at the rest!)
8tz
- yvnsng (written once and have a wip for them)
- h0h0ng (have a wip but i'm DY!NG to write them)
- 2h0 (written once!!)
- jngsng (have a wip for them...)
- mns4ng (have a wip for them ohoho)
- yvng!s4ng / 2h0s4ng (couple of my fave ot3's, would love to write)
- pretty much all yvnh0 pairings, would like to take a stab at any i haven't attempted yet!
- p0lytz (hinted at them in the yvnsng but would have fun writing an actual fic for them because there are so many good combos! exquisite rare pairs just like 5kz)
str4ytz:
- b!njccng (have a wip for them actually heheh)
- hcngsvng / hcngchn / 3r4chjccng (would have fun with any of these tbh!!)
- ye0b!n / je0ngye0 (been thinking about ye0 and cb or imie since kngdm honestly)
- yvnchnl!x / yvnsvng (once again, i just think that yvnh0 and jsvng deserve all the kisses they can get!)
- both groups p0ly and combined because i can
xkrs:
- 2prk (written once and NEEEEEED to write them again UGH)
- hvnjae (wrote as a side pairing but would live to give them their own fic)
- wccjvngz and/or with jnmn (they're so silly/cute and i'd love to write them with and without jnmn!)
- yejvn / 2prkjvn (fave yvjvn pairings that would be fun to explore)
- svsik (they are just so kajdfj i would have fun writing them too!!)
- for them, would probably be most interested in writing different jnmn OR seevn pairings, i haven't read enough to decide yet
but i think that's everything for now... i stuck with just kp0p because i've had SO many favorite pairings over the years oopsie. sorry if this was more than you were looking for 😭 but also thank you so much for asking, ily lots for sending something in!!! 💖💖
Oh! I meant more when character A is kind of frozen in time, and character B is still in his flow and at this moment of meeting when B has already experienced a lot, and A kind of stayed at that moment in time when they were together and lagged behind him and no longer feels like a part of the life of the second
OHHHHHHH i understand now, sorry, i've been stuck in sci-fi brain lately 🤭 but i totally agree that this is such an interesting au! huge potential for angst but i like when it has a happy ending. i'm a wimp who can't handle unrequited love lol but for some reason, yvng! came to mind when you mentioned this trope... specifically yh as character A and mg as character B. something related to them as trainees and eventually (almost) group members? ouchie i played myself haha but thank you so much for picking my brain about this!! and i'd love to hear your thoughts for this au too <33
you are just so lovely i love interacting with you!! you have the best energy and you’re so friendly to everyone :(( amazing human award goes to you!!!!
akjkdfjs anon 😭 this is so sweet, i really appreciate you saying this!!! my goal is always to be as friendly and understanding of people as possible, esp online where things can be easily misconstrued. i'm not sure who you are but i'm sure i love interacting with you too!! it sounds like this award should go to YOU instead of me but thank you 🥺💖
Hi! What do you think about complex (?) au, something like a time gap, when some stay at one point in time, while others move and find the lost ones after a while
ohhhh this is an interesting question, anon!!! something similar to a time-travel situation? because if so, those au's are super fascinating! i think they're challenging to plan and write but in terms of reading, they're so rewarding when they're executed well! and in terms of a related au, i'd love to see a sci-fi au similar to !nterstellar where a team of people have to save a group stranded on a planet far enough away that time becomes a crucial factor. the difference between earth time and this far away planet. could be 8tz, 5kz or xkrs honestly and i'd eat it right up!! also another interesting au would be a couple members of the group going back in time to fix a historical event but getting captured because they're not supposed to be doing that oopsie! and it requires a rescue mission! similar to either the vmbrella academv, l0ki or the novel "fvture of another timeline." thanks for picking my brain about this and i hope this answer satisfied you?? feel free to let me know if i was way off base in my thinking hahah 💖
staring at u. what if i said give me a library au right neow. who would u cast. would it be a college library or a public library. would they fight. kiss. or both. go
FERNNNN bless u for sending things, truly! but lets see library au... thinking a small town public library with... honestly? secngscng. hwa took the job as a librarian a few years ago. he grew up in that town so he felt compelled to come back. to try and make a difference in the community. but not much happens around there. UNTIL his longtime academic rival comes back into town. the ridiculously book smart ye0 who attended an ivy league college up north and hasn't returned since high school graduation. but now he's back and he won't stop coming by the library. hwa is convinced ys only does it to fuck with him. especially because they often end up bickering, rehashing the past, whenever ys visits (not that hwa is the person always starting things noooo) and hwa is starting to get fed up. he finally confronts ys about why he's there and ys admits that other than their upcoming high school reunion, he missed home. that even if he doesn't stay permanently, he needed to come back and see if this was the place he wanted to stay. and he even goes so far as to say hwa is the reason he's having trouble making his decision (but won't elaborate, he just flees the library). they meet again at the reunioin a week later and things come to a head. first they're fighting over a drinking game, then over what happened senior year of high school, and next thing you know, they're, well. "going at it" in the bathroom of some poor old classmate's house. and in my mind, they have a happy ending. whether that be long-distance relationship or ye0 staying. not sure what would be the best but! i hope you enjoyed all this rambling and ty for getting my brain juices flowing 💖
