Have you already read the Hobiverse by @bloomsuga, or If I Never Met You by @kerikaaria? Cause if not I highly recommend them, and if you have then holy shit yes
🌷 Hello! Yes, I have! One cannot say they love SMAUs and not try @bloomsuga‘s work. I just love all her series and I recommended her works here and here.
I discovered and followed @kerikaaria on AO3 because of her Vampire!Jungkook fic last Christmas (interesting, right? Like vampire and then make it a Christmas AU too?!?!?). But, I haven’t tried IINMY yet! I mentioned before that idolverse doesn’t really fall in my top 10 favorite AUs (but I’ve read a lot when there are other genres or tropes heavily involved). I’ll definitely give it a try when I’m in the mood for BTS as BTS in fics.
Thank you for sharing your favorites! Linking the fics below in case anyone wants to give them a try 🥰.

series [42/?] | 126k+ | Idolverse, Manager!OC, Slow Burn | A, F
After moving to Seoul for college, you didn’t expect anything interesting to happen before moving back home. But little did you know you’d find a job that would end up changing your life completely. Now you have 7 charming boys in your life who you wouldn’t replace for anything in the world.
🌷 ggukkienote: so this reminds me of the time I started playing BTS World 🤭
Where You Belong @/kerikaaria - Jungkook x Reader
one shot | 5.6k | Vampire AU, Christmas AU, Best Friend’s Sister | F, A
It took Jimin three weeks to convince Jungkook to spend the holiday break at his family’s house. Why he conceded at all, he had no idea because Jungkook knew it was a bad idea not only with what he was, but also since he had the biggest crush on you, Jimin’s sister. He had a feeling that whatever happened, he wasn’t going to make it out of this quite the same.

I see we're talking about dreams with BTS in them 👀
I've had quite a few luckily, so I'm going to quickfire the ones I remember
I had this one dream I don't quite fully remember. It was very cool and I think I was exploring like a huge school??? Except there were robots and other stuff and in the attic there was a witch granny who looked like she was from studio ghibli and was adorable but terrifying. Anyway halfway through bts are there for some reason? A couple other people are there too including my family AND this creep who appears out of nowhere. I say creep because this dude kept staring at me weirdly and following me around (keep in mind I'm a minor so double creep 😬) For some reason Yoongi notices and is just glaring at the dude the entire time. When it's time to go, we all pile into cars. I couldn't go in the same car as my family because it was full do I get into another car, creep immediately comes in the same car. Yoongi sees and shoves himself into the car, sitting next to me. That's where the dream ends, with yoongi glaring at the creep. We love a protective guy 😩✊
I had another dream in an In The Soop setting where Yoongi was my older brother? He was wearing a blue hoodie but that's all I remember 😭
The first dream I ever had of them was a little... weird? All of BTS except RM were dressed in the black cloaks they were for Fake Love performances and they just... walked past. Namjoon looked me in the eyes and straight up insulted me. He was my bias at the time so I was of course so devastated I woke up. This whole thing happened in my living room.
Had a dream where I was in dubai for whatever reason. BTS came and sat down next to my family, we all sat in a circle and started talking. Halfway through the dream I realised wait.... this isn't real. That used to happen often, i would realise I was in a dream and strt sulking. Anyway I sulked, hobi noticed something was wrong and asked in perfect urdu, "kya huwa?" ("What happened?") And I blushed so hard i woke up
Had a dream I was their manager, except they split into two diffwrent groups??? Jimin spoke perfect urdu with me and invented a whole new muhavra (I forgot how to say it in English... idiom? Phrase? Idk) it was very poetic and i swore I wrote it down when i woke up but I can't find it :(
Final one... it was straight out of a fanfic istg. I was the eighth member, they all hated me. Kicked me out and replaced me with another girl. Years later I'm the no1 soloist in the world and they're all regRET
I think I have more dreams but these are the ones that I can remember 💀 (m also choosing to NOT tell a few. Like the one where jungkook was in a hospital and nearly d/ed... that wasn't fun)
so basically your dream headcanon is protective! yoongi that is so fitting 😂 AND WOW DJSJSJ jimin created a whole muhawra???? (yes it is idiom in english haha) damn i wish u remembered it too hajhsjdjsj the last dream sounds like i'm reading a wattpad ff written by a 12 year old i'm rolling djjsjskskks
Hey, can I recommend a fanfic? I was gonna do this on anon but I realised you turned that off
The series is Legends of Darlaria by @/threeletterslife. It's ongoing and it's absolutely BEAUTIFUL so far, I'm obsessed with it!! If you have time please check it out, it's 100% my favourite series I've read here
(Also! I didn't realise your blogs had 18+ written in the bio. I've unfollowed you since I'm a minor and me following you would probably be uncomfortable. Have a good day <3)
🌷 Hi there! Thank you for the reco! 💕 I've actually been reading this on ao3 (if you search my blog lists, the fic is already included. There's one screenshot where you'd see both of our reblogs lol). I appreciate your sending an ask but it might be trouble for you too if the fic is already part of a fic list (I remember you sending one before but it was already part of a list).
*I also get notifs from ao3 and I try to catch up on my subscribed series/authors as much ad I could
I definitely hope more people get to explore this!It's good to bring attention to the fic though! So thank you 😊. I love author's writings - more on the angst side but definitely plot-driven which I appreciate so much.
No worries! I actually follow you too and thank you for telling me. I'll unfollow because you might not be comfortable with me following you too? I just put 18+ on my blog because most of the content are mature/NSFW and definitely not the right content for minors. I do tag fics that are sfw as rate:g or g:fluff so feel free to explore these instead. 😊 Have fun reading and I remember you used to publish fics too so good luck with that. I hope this continues to be a safe space for you! Lots of love 💕
OKAY this completely random but listen to me rant (pls). I've spent a lot of time wondering whether BTS would ever come to my country (Pakistan) and I've come to these conclusions:
1. They probably don't even know Pakistan exists 🤡 I mean let's be reaal here, India? Sure, there's a chance. A pretty good chance actually since they did that one interview! But Pakistan will forever be that one country next to India. So nope, never coming here.
2. Let's say a miracle happens and they come to Pakistan (not happening). Where the FUCK would they perform? In the bazaar??? In the cricket stadiums??? At my local university??? Why don't they just come to my school and do a concert in the unused swimming pool? I hear the acoustics are great in there 🤨
3. Tickets. ARMY's. No explanation needed.
4. Let's say they come AND find a place to perform AND I manage to get a ticket. Here comes the hardest challenge: my parents. I so much as mention BTS in front of them I'm getting a chappal to my face. My aunt might've let me go? But she's getting married in February so forget about that 🤡 ALSO IMAGINE GOING TO A BTS CONCERT WITH YOUR PARENTS I WOULD RATHER DIE
This is my way of coping thank you for listening
Okay seriously, if they do come here, I hope they visit the northern areas. Its absolutely BEAUTIFUL over there and I feel like they would enjoy it a lot :(
But they're not coming so
okay i'm not gonna sugarcoat it u stated all the facts and the hardcore realist in me agrees with u wholeheartedly 😭😭😭 also "in the bazaar??" took me out i'm so sorry for laughing hsjsjjsksksk but yes!! i agree, i hope they get to visit india/pakistan soon and see the beauty of nature here for atleast once in their lives 🥺
I didn't realise a whole month had gone by 😭 school started in august and I've been feeling like shit lately, so I just didnt want to come on tumblr. I was in a state where I felt like crying... pretty much all the time.
BUT I am doing much better now so I'm back!! I missed yoongi and y/n and I thought today's finally the day I read the chapters I've missed. I'm so, so sorry for disappearing out of the blue. I felt so bad about it, and I always meant to stay up and read it at night but I was so exhausted I fell asleep right away.
I'll try to come back to tumblr regularly again, though I can't promise anything. Fingers crossed!!
Now, back to my lovelies :( i missed them
(I'm going to read chapter 15 for now)
OH RIGHT THE MYSTERY MAN I nearly forgot
Oh, it's so cute how she still cares for him even though she knows nothing about him. She's worried that he might not have moved on, oh sweetheart :(((
Doyun my LOVE I missed you too mUAH <3
These dreams are starting to frustrate me too, I can only imagine how y/n feels. Like, why NOW of all times?? Leave her and yoongi in peace so they can have their love story 😭😭
EVEN DOYUN'S SHIPPING THEM PLEASE
Doyun's being practical with her advice, I like that. As a hoarder myself, i hate letting go of shit whether it's memories or physical things, but eventually, sometimes you just... have to. It's better than spending your time being frustrated about it
AHHH the world building, those little stories and fairytales I love it
Minhee :( Doyun, sweetheart... I want to hug her :((
AHSHSHS IT ISNT A LOD CHAPTER IF Y/N ISNT SHITTING ON HIM FOR HIS POSTURE it's so funny help-
I already knew yoongi was always a sweetheart, but this just confirms it. I love hearing stories of when people were kids, it's just so sweet and it tells you so much about a person
"Badmouth his family and he'll get furious" why do I feel like this is foreshadowing 💀💀 y/n's going to say some stupid shit about his mother or brother and they're gonna fight, I'm calling it
Y/N SWEETHEART CALL YOURSELF A BOTHER ONE MORE TIME I FUCKING DARE YOU just you wait until I get myself into your world I'm going to give you the biggest, sweetest hug you've ever had
Bro all the symbolism and connections with the solarian lore, it's so cool
Please why do I relate with y/n's thoughts so often. We're the same kind of messed up-
HELP THEYRE BOTH IN DENIAL
I love the way yoongi and y/ns thoughts practically mirror each other, they're always thinking similar things and they're both so cute-
Yo he finally straightened his posture. All you need to say is "yn was talking about you" and the mf straightens immediately-
NO yoongi so WHAT if she's darlarean you son of a bitch (I say this while because I can't put all my thoughts down in writing. Part of me is sympathising with him while the other part is screaming at him, my brain is a very jumbled mess doing two things at once)
It's so funny, they have such sweet thoughts then immediately try to justify them in entire paragraphs full of half-assed logic, just say you're whipped and go 😭😭
LMAO DOYUN'S RETELLING IS PURE GOKD
Hwayoung really does sound like y/n, it's so cuteRiding off towards the sun??? Y/n, babe, this is your reincarnation I'm sure of it
Y/NS NEVER CALLED HIM BY HIS NAME??? ABSOLUTELY NOT WE CANT HAVE THIS I NEED BOTH OF THEM TO GET DRUNK ASAP AND DO EMBARRASSING SHIT TOGETYER
CHANA baby great job as always <333 ill try to read chapter 16 soon when I need to procrastinate from doing my homework
I love you <33333
well, hello there!! i'm sorry you were in that mental state, but it's great to hear that you're fine now :)) don't be sorry about prioritizing your health! i definitely took a break from tumblr as well—things have been pretty hectic at school, so i haven't had as much time to look on social media
ahh yes OC has such a kind heart 😭😭 she be feeling bad for a STRANGER. but then again, is he really a stranger? she def feels guilty for not feeling anything for someone who she should be feeling something for LOL
LMAOO "Leave her and yoongi in peace so they can have their love story" PLEASE. ALSO WBK DOYUN KNOWSSS SHE KNOWS EVERYTHING
and yes i very much agree. it's nice to hold onto things, but sometimes you also have to learn to let things go. it can feel more cathartic that way
LMAO OC ALWAYS HAS SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT THE GENERAL'S SHITTY ASS POSTURE
omg yes i love hearing childhood stories. i totally agree; it really says a lot about a person ngl
LMAOO NOT YOU RELATING TO OC????
IT'S NOT A SLOW BURN WITHOUT DENIAL? THAT'S LIKE STAGE ONE
eheheheheh it's gonna take a while until she calls him by his name :)))))
i don't want to keep you away from your homework! thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with me!! as usual, i really really enjoyed reading through all of your reactions LOL. have a wonderful rest of your day <33333
Hiii!! Sorry it took me a whole week to get around to reading it, but my attention span is zero and IN MY DEFENCE a week passes WAY quicker than you'd think
So here I am, ready to kill my self emotionally once again <3
Okay first of all man of her dreams? Do go on 👀👀
HIS FACE IS OBSCURED??? Someone from Darlaria, I know it. Memories popping up??? Or maybe yoongi? Please god let it be yoongi im not ready for drama
...surely could not be the dARLAREAN PRISONER I'M STILL SMITTEN WITH? sure, y/n, tell yourself that. We'll see what happens in the end
Captain Moon makes another appearance, let's goooooo. The female captains are all QUEENS so far, not a single miss
NECKLACE??????????????????
Wait what was the jewel on her own necklace I'm so stupid uhhhhhhhh
And I'm too lazy to go to the previous chapter. She'll reveal it eventually I'm sure :)
And by the way what the hell did he say for her to experience that Hollow feeling, even if it was only for a second?? This is where the conflict arose I KNOW IT
Wait but y/n THE NECKLACE
Hana is a sweetheart but before I read her letter I'm going to the previous chapter I can't take this
Nevermind all I found was that hers had a white gem :( probably not related then. Or maybe they are I genuinely have no clue how diamonds look like (broke squad wya ✊)
OH MAYBE IT IS THE NECKLACE NVM I'M A GENIUS
Notes ajshdhshsh. She really is dedicated man
...wow. I KNEW THE CONFLICT WAS COMING
But no seriously, if I had dreams like that I would start sobbing. The overwhelming love every single night and one day it just turns into anger and I AUSBAIQBSIQ QIAHSJS can't take it. I'm already an emotional wreck, these dreams would well and truly break me
Oh I'm glad they're learning to be more open minded and I'm glad y/n takes constructive criticism well. Ah... she has such a good life here... all my theories for where this story is going to go just rip this apart I want to cry 😭😭
The subtle pov change from y/n, to third person, to yoongi 👀👀👀 once again reminding me why chana is ✨best author✨"
...if he hadn't been his mother's son..." — oh that is such a heavy line. Yoongi, darling... :(
I have so much to say about Yoongi's thoughts, but since I have no idea how to put it into words all I'm going to say is SWEETHEART, EAT
And you're in love with y/n, stop denying it ✋
HE WAS CARRESSING THE PAPER SHSKSJSJS I CACKLED
At first when I read it I thought it was saying he was caressing her face?? And I was like that's a sudden jump wth??? And then i realised it was a damn piece of paper-
No, honestly, imagine being in yoongi's situation and reading that piece of paper. How would you even react 😭😭😭 AND COULD YOU IMAGINE IF IT HAD BEEN A DREAM ABOUT HER LOVE LIFE
AND Y/N BABE WHY WOULD YOU MAKE A BATTLE PLAN ON THE BACK OF YOUR DREAM PAPER WHAT WAS THE REASON
And with that—ladies, gentleman, and others—brings us to the end of the chapter <3
I have many theories and I honestly I hate myself for being too observative (it is my greatest quality yet my biggest weakness)(as in I'm observative only when I don't want to be why the fuck does this happen to me)
I think... I THINK I know what end game will be? But I'm really excited in finding out how she gets there, what is the situation leading up to it it and stuff. Very interesting story and I know I'm going to cry a lot. When you finish it... yknow you could change the character names and publish it as an actual, physical book 👀 it would be tough but you'd have tons of fans and so many people would love it. And that FINANCIAL STABILITY baby if it ever gets popular you're set for life (it would be hella awkward if anyone found out it was originally a yoongi//jungkook fanfiction though ahdhhdd)
Anyway the fact that it took me nearly 50 minutes to read 1 chapter tells you a lot about my attention span, so...🤡🤡
Have a great day, Chana <3 (my autocorrect keeps trying to correct your name to CHANA, so maybe I should just scream at you from now on)
LMAO lod is always an emotional ride 😟 gotta prepare for it
i agree with you 😩 our female captains are QUEENS. i want to be friends with all of them
also bro yeah i feel like my dreams affect my days 😭😭 if i wake up from a bad dream, i'll be scared shitless for a few hours LOL. if i wake up from a happy dream, i'll be soaring through the sky the whole day
I LOVE WRITING POV CHANGES FOR THE GENERAL AND OC. it especially brings me a lot of joy to write the general's thoughts because we normally don't get to hear what he's thinking
LMAOOO CARESSING HER FACE?? WE SKIPPED A FEW CHAPTERS THERE LOL
lmao if i was in yoongi's situation, i wouldn't know how to act. like just imagine stumbling upon writing like that with no context. i would probably assume she was dating someone or something and get mega sad
YOU THINK YOU KNOW WHAT THE END GAME WILL BE? DO YOU MIND SHARING? it'd be funny if you just predicted the entire plot LMAO
i think lod is such a big work of mine that i might just publish it one day 💀 but you're also right. if pple found out if it was originally a fucking yoongi/jungkook fanfiction, i would disappear into thin air
LMAO ETERNAL SCREAMING DOESN'T SOUND SO BAD. HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY AS WELL!
Hiiii I'm sorry I've been inactive for a while :/
I'm just less active on tumblr nowadays, and the fact that I can't post when I'm on the site really isn't helping ajshhshd (it doesn't let me add tags from my phone? but TAGS ARE MY LIFE and I can only go on my phone because of the vpn :( )
Anyway I am here!! For chapter 13!!! I'll try to read chapter 14 soon too ajshdhdbd
It is currently 1am so do not expect my thoughts to be coherent
A YEAR ON SOLARIA LETS GOOOOO
Rant on the general? Yes please, I will gladly listen to this
Omg not the meaningful(?) Dreams... (there's a word I'm looking for but my brain is not working I mean like...... dreams what have deeper meanings.... mystic? mmmmmmmmmmmmm I don't know you know what I mean)
Battlefield talks???? Things are PROGRESSING I like this
I understand why people would want her out on the battlefield but also my girl hasn't been trained properly??? Yeah she's learned to wield her fire but it'll take a lot more time to learn how to fight with it
Ah, yeah she's very empathetic and doesn't really deal with pain and death too well, as we've seen before. But also she's also been very open about her patriotism for solaria, so I'm wondering what she would have to say about this
Captain Im's speech ayyyyyy.
(No but seriously) she's well spoken and a GREAT fucking debater, she handled that effortlessly
WAIT PLEASE I KNOW YOONGI'S GONNA BE TOO WORRIED ABOUT HER HES GONNA GO ROGUE
He went rogue 😭😭😭😭 this is so fun to watch look at him
“Officer Ryu’s going to give him a little visit and change his mind again.” — OMG PLEASE YES
You doubt it? Well, sir, its going to happen anyway because ✨plot✨ (and you're head over heels for y/n so you have to do what she says, and besides letting your emotions get in the way like this is a HUGE fucking mistake)
Also is this how she's gonna meet jungkook? Cause he's from darlaria.... ajshhxhsbs I should think so much ahead let's skip back
(NO BUT SOMEBODY IN THE DARLAREAN ARMY WILL RECOGNISE HER I'M CALLING IT)
Yes, he's in denial. He doesn't want to admit he's in love with a darlarean :(((
Y/n knows she's darlarean right? She just doesn't care... her heart is solarian through and through
HES IN DENIAL THIS IS SO CUTE AJSHXHHXJSJS
Oh :( love and war and death :(
YOURE GONNA KILL OFF YOONGI ARENT YOU??? YOU MAKE HIM GO ON THESE LONG SWEET TANGENTS BECAUSE YOURE PLANNING ON KILLING HIM YOUR MONSTER
I'm sorry, I shouldn't assume. bUT IF YOU DO IT I WILL BE AT YOUR DOOR FOR REVENGE
...no it doesn't make sense that she wasn't there? I don't know man I mean shouldn't she have a say in whether she fights?
WHY DID HIS BROTHER SHIFT TONE MIDSENTENCE I-
"Am I good enough, brother? 🥺🥺🥺🥺"
"Youre good enough for me" :)))
"yoUR ENOUGH IS SUBPAR THATS TGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOU AND ME"
??????????? Mid conversation??? his brother needs help 😭😭
This conversation hurts so much seeing it from yoongi's point of view like.... he's messing up so much right now conversation-wise but only because he's sOFT
Ah... yeah I think jungkook will recognise her and the the story will continue from there
Part of me is like LET THE GIRL FIGHT but on the other hand I DONT WANT HER TO MEET JUNGKOOK.please dear God just let her and yoongi have their love story, I'm sure jungkook's a great guy but live triangles stress me the HELL out and I will cry
Why would he ever care for a darlarean? Wow, it really shows how he's been raised to not even think of them as humans...
THE TENSION OHHH this isn't good for my heart
CAPTAIN MOON'S BACKSTORY HELLO??????? Sweetheart I want to hug you 😭😭😭
Captain moon is spiritual I can see that, and I'm GLAD we got a meaning to the dream. Y/n is the ✨change✨
FINALLY THE GEM THANK YOU
THATS IT??? I WAS SO SURE IT WOULD B ESOMETBING IMPORTANT AHHHH
Great chapter as ever, love <3 ill try to read chapter 14 soon
Have a great day!!
omg no don't apologize!! i can't believe tumblr has the audacity to mess with your tags >:((( ugh
nevertheless, you're here and i have received yet another one of your amazing asks!! (i can't believe you're writing these so late omg 😭 my brain shuts off at 11 these days 💀) but then again, i feel like the best time to read is at night because i'm more prone to ~feels~
ANYWAYS. yes! can you believe it's almost been a year? coincidentally, it's also been almost around a year since i've begun to actually write this series! time flies, doesn't it
LMAO i love writing the battlefield scenes! in the original plot, there weren't as many politics/technical aspects of the war involved, but as i began writing, adding it just felt right LOL
in this household, we love and respect captain im. that is all i have to say
LMAO i like your line of thinking 👀 we will see about your predictions!!! (please don't come for me; i am scared)
yoongi's siblings are... interesting. we'll get into them more in future chapters *wink wink*
the general's too soft for his own good LOL. but we love to see it
captain moon is totally an underrated officer! nobody thinks twice about her because she's always off praying to the spirits, but it's the only connection she has left with her family. a lot of the officers' backstories are tragic. like wait till we get to captain goe's 💀
:)))))) don't worry the gem will come up again <3
and THANK YOU! as usual, for writing such a long review so late at night!! i love reading through your scene-by-scene reactions LOL. it's one of the things that just motivates me to write more! have a wonderful day/night/afternoon!
