There is something about autumn rain which calms you.
The pitter-patter sound of the drizzling rain falling around you. The refreshing scent of wet ground and fresh grass. The gentle breeze flowing around you gives you the perfect excuse to pull out your fuzzy sweater for your outing today.
Sitting outside this quaint cafe you first found during your walk today, you get to enjoy everything; the lovely weather, the beautiful day, and a lot of interesting sights to see from this strange city.
Another day, another place to be.
Travelling hasn’t truly been your forte. Not until lately. Moving back with your absent father didn’t leave much to expect, and going from one place to another through his magic doors has been able to fill the void that seems to have been engraved within you since your mother’s passing.
Sighing with content, you look away and pick up your cup of cappuccino that has been sitting on the table before you. It’s still steaming hot, with the rich, deep aroma of espresso filling the air, and the subtle note of cinnamon that has been added in giving the extra hint of spice and sweetness that nearly completes your soul as you take careful sips of your drink.
While you are savouring your coffee, a shadow appears right by your table. It doesn’t take much for you to recognise him before he even speaks.
“Is this seat taken?”
You smile into your coffee, loving how the timbre of his voice is raising some warm flutters in your chest. You take your time before lifting your gaze to him, not giving him any attention until your coffee is settled back on the table.
“Min Yoongi,” you greet him with a smile. “Join me?”
Chuckling softly, he takes the empty chair across from you to keep you company. Sitting back, you cross your right leg on top of your left, watching him as he orders his coffee—a cup of espresso, as always—and taking the delightful sight of him in.
Just like you, he is dressed for warmth. Wearing a muted beige sweater over his dark jeans, he covers it with a leather jacket that somehow fits him so perfectly. He leaves his longer hair loose, falling over to frame his face as he speaks to the waitress. Once he is done, he sits back and relaxes, returning your perusing gaze with his.
“So what is it this time?” you ask him, “Are you travelling for business as usual, or”—your eyes follow his hand as he places his bag to his side and his camera on the table—”is it for leisure?”
His lips twitch to a smile, as if your curiosity pleases him.
A curiosity that never wanes, and has been left unanswered. You have always wondered how he does something like this; always there to find you while you are venturing into a new place, a new city, or even a new continent. As if he has always been just two steps behind you in every adventure you went to.
Or perhaps he has been two steps ahead of you, and he has always been there watching, waiting, until you finally come into his path, where he can swoop his way in with his tempting smile?
“A little bit of both,” he smoothly answers, his eyes falling on the leather-covered journal sitting right next to your coffee. “And you? Is it simply sightseeing, as always?”
You smile at him. “Always, while taking the chance to learn new things that I find in my trips.”
“Ah, yes. Of course. You’ve always found joy in learning as you enjoy your trips. A true scholar,” he hums, nodding. The conversation pauses as his coffee arrives. “Are you open to inviting someone on your trip this time around?” he asks once the waitress walks away, his eyes meeting yours with a look that is quite hard to read.
You’d like to believe there is hope there, some longing. Yet, Yoongi has always been a man of mystery, always able to read you, while never once allowing anyone to do the same to him.
You bite your lips as you pretend to contemplate your options. “Are you offering me your company?”
He shrugs. “You know I’m always open for a chance to enjoy a day or two with you while we’re in foreign places like this,” he says. The corner of his lips twitch to a grin. “I won’t even mind if you agree to stay longer. A whole week, perhaps?”
You hold back the urge to laugh. If only you knew.
“Well,” you coyly answer, “Then I suppose I’ll have you as my company. It might feel lonely if I simply go around all by myself, after all.”
He watches with a sly grin on his face as you raise your drink. He waits until you savour another taste of your coffee—probably recognising your subtle act of being coy—before he continues, “Will this invitation extend for the rest of the night?” Your hand freezes before you can place your cup back on the table.
Finding your calm, you carefully lift your gaze to meet his just as he asks, “Or are you going to disappear again before morning comes?”
Your smile fades when you remember those nights—the nights you spent with him during the other times you met him during your previous trips.
You weren’t exactly someone who falls easily into one-night stands. Not before Yoongi. But then he came into the picture, carrying with him a whole mystery that kept begging you to unravel. He has always been too enticing to refuse, with his beauty and alluring confidence that keeps pulling you in, that you couldn’t resist when he began inviting you to his bed after a few chance encounters were made.
It took only one night for it to begin, and your affair continued many nights after. One taste of his carnal passion and the pleasure he brings, and you’ve become addicted to him. No matter how hard you tried to resist, he would always be able to pull you back in.
Not that you have been trying that hard to avoid or refuse him either.
“You’re implying that I’ve been running away each time,” you taunt him with a light scoff, though there is no bite in your voice. There is, however, a pinch in your chest. Feeling like he can read you so well makes you vulnerable.
“Haven’t you?” he asks, and that tightness in your chest pinches harder.
Biting your lips, you try to push back the heat that is rising in your chest. Already, your body is reacting to him, when what you should be doing is deny him. “I’m not falling for your charm this time, Min Yoongi. The deal stays with you acting as my company and guide, that’s all.”
Yoongi leans forward, crossing his arms on the table as he keeps his eyes on you. The smile that he is wearing on his face tells you that he never has any intention of holding onto your ‘deal’.
As a matter of fact, you are starting to doubt that you can keep it either.
“Was it Paris, where we last met?” he asks you with a tease in his voice. “I remember you saying the same thing back then.”
You press your lips together, swallowing back any retort coming out of your mouth just as that night comes flashing by in your mind. Memories of that night are still vivid, so much so that you can almost feel it in your body as you recall it.
“Call it what you want, but that night was unforgettable for me,” he says, using his deep voice that has been haunting your lonely nights, always reminding you of him whispering sweet nothings to you while he was sending you to bliss. “You’re not going to tell me that you’ve forgotten how good that night ended, are you?”
You should. But you cannot find it in you to say anything to deny it.
Because it’s quite impossible to deny him. And if you have to be honest with yourself, you do find that night to be unforgettable. Not that you have done enough to try and forget, when all you have been doing the many nights after was to think about everything that happened then, and all the sinful things he did to you to turn you into a wanton woman who gave everything you had in exchange for the pleasure he was offering you.
Your eyes fall on his hand as he lifts his cup of coffee to his lips, and your mind brings back everything that the same hand—those fingers—did to you the last time you spent the night together. How those deft fingers caught your waist when he kissed you under the night sky, and how easily he made you shudder with his touch, flipping all of your buttons until you were left helpless in his arms.
You know that if you close your eyes right this moment, you will find yourself being brought back to that night. The woody scent of his cologne that is wafting towards you with the flowing breeze takes you back to his dark hotel bedroom. It makes you think of the warmth you felt engulfing you once he pulled you through the door, of the sound of your heartbeat racing and clothes falling the moment the door was locked behind you, of the warm, messy sheets you fell onto while he was devouring your lips with his heated, hungry kiss.
Your skin grows warm as you think about those lips tracing down your neck, your bare shoulders, your chest, while his fingers worked relentlessly to spark every inch of your body alight.
Your breasts tingle when your eyes land on his mouth, picturing those same lips capturing each of your hardened nipples as he bit, lapped, and sucked on each side, before pinching them with his deft fingers when his lips found yours again to swallow your moans.
Your body grows hot when you picture him sinking between your legs, giving you the ultimate pleasure that you had never once experienced with anyone before.
First, he did it with his sinful mouth and tongue, working them together to devour your sweet cunt until you were writhing on his bed, drowning in pleasure. And then he did it with his thick cock, filling you up to the brim until there was nothing left for you to give. Until you felt your entire world melting into his presence, and he became your entire universe as you were drowning in carnal release.
Your body shudders as you remember each hard thrust of his lovemaking, as he rocked your entire world every time he moved against you, pushing into you, giving you everything he could to bring you pleasure.
That night in Paris, your tryst didn’t end with just a single exchange of carnal pleasure. It lasted the entire night, only giving you the small chance to rest right before the break of dawn when both of you were spent after the long, intense, vigorous lovemaking, after he made you reach your climax more than once, and you fell asleep in his arms feeling nothing more but content.
That was the first night when everything he said before started to make sense; all his silly talk about fate, how your souls were being united as one as you made love, and about the pull that kept bringing you back together even while you were on the opposite sides of the world.
Because even after all those dark, heated passions began to wane, he still filled your entire world. He felt like the missing piece of your puzzle that you could never complete no matter how hard you tried to find it. No longer lost in the sea of people but was there in your arms as you held him against your bare chest.
And it scared you enough to make you rise from the bed in the middle of the night, leaving his sleeping figure behind to escape before your heart would give in and allow him in.
“Do you believe in soulmates?”
You remember him whispering those words to you while he was buried deep inside you, bringing waves of pleasure as he rocked your bodies together towards the peak of your release.
Tingles run through your body as it remembers every touch, every bit of love he made you feel, and the passion you shared that night. Heat pulses deep inside your core, right between your legs, and every part of your body that he touched and kissed and tasted.
Twisting in your seat, you press down against your pulsing desire, playing it off as excitement—something that is more pure and innocent instead of anything carnal—while asking,
“So, where are we heading to next?”
His smile grows deep and wide, recognising the invitation in your words, and knowing full well that the moment you fall into his bed again tonight, it’s going to be forever.
Hi! 👋 It could be just me, but I can only find the teaser for "back to december", it's not in your masterlist?
Thanks! 💜
oh it's not completed yet so it's not posted! damn.. i do wanna get back to that one, though. it's been awhile since we had an actual kithtaehyung one-shot :'))
Such a cool concept! I didn't find the information in the FAQs, so I'll ask here: how far in advance do you announce a next theme/fest?
hi bby, i have risen from the dead to respond to your ask 🧟
we technically don't have a set schedule for how far in advance we announce the next fest, but if we decide to establish a (likely loose) schedule, we'll share an update about it. i'm posting this without hali's knowledge cuz she's busy rn (that's why this is unhinged) but i'm ngl we have been Struggling due to our jobs (but it'll get better soon)
the Daddy's Home Fest fics will be posted by the end of april, so we may announce the next fest around that time!
🖋️ ⇝ please show me the couple from 'of bears and bonds' 🥺 I don't want an AU, I want to know how they are 😭 are they happy and safe?
Also, how many of 🖋️ can we ask? 🤭
Awww I missed this couple so much. Haha I guess you know already, but feel free to send my any headcanons or fics for me to create something on as much as you want, as long as it's within the time period I've set for the event. I have the rest of the month to work on this, so I can space out between visual moodboards and take my time with them (especially if I read some of the submitted fics first lol)
Anyway, here's our lovely werebear and his witch mate in their new home, with a little snippet of their life after their mating:
— 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖏𝖔𝖚𝖗𝖓𝖊𝖞 𝖇𝖊𝖌𝖎𝖓𝖘 —
Soon after Jin and his mate joined Beta Taehyung of Wolf Moon Pack, they were gifted a new place to live and settle down in their new homeland. To appease Jin and his mate, and to convince them to be a new Beta pair for the pack, Alpha Namjoon from the Wolf Moon Pack gave them a small property located at one of the secluded area of the pack land.
Their new cabin is built on the top of a hill, right at the heart of the woodlands surrounding the Wolf Moon Pack's territory. Here, the couple can live their daily life at peace. Away from the bustling pack life, where Jin can freely roam around in his giant bear form from time to time without bothering his new pack mates, and his witch mate can continue practicing her witchcraft, while offering help for their pack mates who are in need by using her magic and special potions.
To reminisce the beginning of their destiny, the cabin was designed similar to the old cabin that they lived in during the winter—with a bigger bedroom and some smaller ones for their future family, a special space for his mate to work on her magic practices, and a bigger, better fireplace for Jin to warm himself during winter.

📜 ⇝ because Yoongi is your husband and you did vote for it, I'll send you Stellar Behavior 💜
I have no idea if a Haegeum-inspired corruption story is your type of thing, but the detective Yoongi in that video gives me vibes and that scar had to come from somewhere 💜 I just love the idea that he was corrupted by an awesome mafia boss 🔥🔥
I've been wanting to dive into this so this is the perfect timing!
I'm making this moodboard based on your summary and prompt and a quick read from chapter 1 (that got me screaming!). I promise I'll share a complete review once I'm done reading the whole thing!! For now, enjoy your moodboard, love!!
“You’re crazy!”
“Crazy?” You chuckled, “I think I’m being quite reasonable.”

In what order would you advise someone to read your Shifters Series?
Please give 2 options: with and without Blood Moon Rising 🙏
(No shade, I also want to read Blood Moon Rising but it isn't finished and I don't know if there is a need to read it to enjoy the side stories or not)
Thanks! 💜
For my Shifters Series, if we're going to follow the timeline and story progression, then the reading order should be like this:
The Half-Lycan -> Of Bears & Bonds -> Blood Moon Rising -> The Agile Fox -> Alpha's Inferno -> To Trap A Wolf -> Hunting Season
To summarize, The Half-Lycan and Of Bears & Bonds can act like the prequels for the entire series as they are set years before the events in Blood Moon Rising happened. Some parts mentioned and the characters that appeared in both stories will add a lot of context for Blood Moon Rising. Which is why, even though these stories can be read separately, I always advice people to start from these two before getting into the others.
The Agile Fox is set in two different timelines. The first half is set in a similar timeline to The Half-Lycan, while the rest happens during the climax of Blood Moon Rising. Even if they are connected and set that way, you can definitely read this one separately without having to read Blood Moon Rising first and vice versa.
If you want to wait before reading Blood Moon Rising, then you can follow the reading order below:
The Half-Lycan -> Of Bears & Bonds -> The Agile Fox -> To Trap A Wolf -> Alpha's Inferno
(please note that the last two are still in their writing process since they have similar timelines to BMR. I also switched them up this time because technically you can read them together without BMR)
I didn't include Hunting Season on the second reading order because once it's out, this story can be read entirely separated to the other stories as it serves more like a spin-off which takes place after the epilogues (Alpha's Inferno and To Trap A Wolf )
Woah, that was a crucial TBH chapter! Honestly, the Queen sounds so intriguing and cunning, I want to know everything about her! Also, did she like Yoongi's mom? I doubt it!
I don't think that's Yoongi because he's busy with what's-her-name 😭 Please, let her have the book and go back safely 😭
(or that could be Yijeong and she follows him and teleports to the palace where Yoongi is and there's a ball going on and they meet, and talk, and KISS!!!)
👀
We're finally getting some info on the Queen! A few things about her are going to be unravelled while OC does her little exploring before the King returns. The relationship between OC's mom and Yoongi's mom is...complicated. The Emperor is hiding the fact that he's looking for his missing bff from his wife for a reason 🤫
Hmm was it Yoongi, or was it his curious bff? It makes you wonder, doesn't it? heheh not sure if it'll be a good idea for OC to find her way to the palace now when Yoongi is accompanying his, um...guest. or maybe it would? 😏😏 some drama happening now would be nice, don't you think? lol
Thank you for reading!! more reveal is happening in the next one
