*this is a sneak peak of a sort of master post for the petrichor universe [my poly! supernatural kpop au]. links to storm clouds at midnight (poly!werewolf skz) and dewdrops at dawn (poly!demon ateez) are currently in my masterlist. the full post for this universe will contain info about each universe as well as about each of the supernatural creatures (i.e. demon ateez and wolf skz) - this is a work of fiction! everything in this universe is fictional :)
Long before the human species was born, there was another world. One of wonder and boundless imagination - in which beings of many forms walked the planet. Magic was commonplace and creatures of different species could wield it with an incredible ability.
This world was beautiful. Full of light and harmony, the species worked amongst each other without conflict and the earth thrived under their care. However, as the humans began to find their place amongst the creatures, the magic of the other world quickly seemed to fade. Humans were skeptical of other beings - they were frightened of their power and their magic.
And so the other world seemed to fade.
Disappearing beyond a veil of mist, the world of magic and imagination was hidden from humankind. To protect the earth and its creatures, the world was separated and concealed from the eyes of those who did not seek to protect the life beyond. Only those who believed in the magic of the other world - those who so desperately longed for a life beyond the simplicity and corruption of the human world - were able to pass between realms and into the world of magic.
Into the world of Petrichor.
In this little world, creatures of both day and night coexist and share the lands of earth. Beyond the hidden veil of both light and shadow, the supernatural world awaits: vampires, werewolves, demons, angels, faeries - and so many more.
They’re waiting for you, won’t you join them?
As you push beyond the veil, feeling the world of humankind disappear behind you, a gentle hand stretches out to greet you. You can’t seem to make out their form, but their voice is kind and their presence comforting. Form shrouded by light, it seems as though no matter how you peer at them, their body will never be revealed to your eyes. The light wraps around their form, bright and hot - as though the sun itself radiated from their skin. However, when you turn once more, it’s a glimpse of cool shadow and the shimmer of stars cloaking their skin. Both the brilliance of day and the comfort of night illuminate from the otherworldly being – as if they themself were both the sun and moon all at once.
They beckon you closer, softly coaxing you towards them. Stepping forward on shaky legs, waves of both apprehension and an unwavering curiosity push you onward. Quietly, the being encourages you forward and gestures towards the arching doorways beyond.
Each door is different from the last, decorated with golden celestial bodies and radiating with a warmth that settles soothingly in your chest. They are brilliant in a way you cannot fathom - brighter than the sun and darker than the night sky. Yet, they still radiate warmth and simmer with the touch of magic, a feeling you cannot describe with words.
You turn to face the being once more with a question in your eyes. You’re tempted to speak, but the words feel heavy on your tongue. However, the being seems to understand, and they hum softly to comfort the nerves that rattle beneath your skin.
“The choice is yours, my dear,” the voice murmurs. “Which adventure will you choose first?”
When you turn back to face the doorways before you, a new curiosity starts to build in your chest. Swelling vibrantly with the beginnings of that anxiously happy feeling that spawns at the beginning of a new adventure, you step towards the door that calls to you the strongest.
It seems as though the golden archway sings to you, calling out for your presence and pulling you toward it. Unable to pull yourself away from the feeling, a sense of longing begins to settle in your gut as you approach the door. The ornate details of the frame seem so familiar - as if you have seen them before, though you are quite sure you've never seen this otherworldly place before.
Your heart skips a beat, pulse racing with the hum of a new adventure, and you inhale deeply as you make your choice. Heart now set on the door of your choice, you take a step forward with determination and stride towards the arching entryway that called to you.
*:･ﾟ Welcome to the Kingdom of Dawn! ･ﾟ:*
The golden doorway before you is glorious. With raised embellishments of rising suns across the head of the arch, you raise a hand to run a soft finger across the fading stars that decorate the sides. The metal is warm beneath your skin and it seems to hum under your touch, radiating with some kind of familiarity that you cannot comprehend. The heat of the morning seems to fill your chest, and the memory of early mornings and pinky orange skies filter through your mind. The serenity and calm of the first blush of daylight radiate from the doorway, settling under your skin with a soft touch.
When the doorway swings open with a slow and steady movement, a burst of warm air filters through the towering doorway. A sweet hum settles under your skin and ripples through your chest, making its home in the crevices of your heart. It sings strongly, nestling deep in your being and wrapping your form in an affectionate heat and reminding you of a home you long to return to. Your fingers buzz with some sort of electricity, feeling like the nerves have been lit beneath your skin. It is not painful - in fact, it’s a strangely comforting feeing.
“A soulbond,” the same, otherworldly voice from before, explains with a mystical voice. “Don’t fear it, lovely – it will keep you safe.”
You nod softly and turn to face the disembodied voice once more. “What happens now?” you question.
A sweet chuckle follows your inquisition and the sound is comforting. They motion towards the doorway, pushing you to enter.
“You’ve made your choice, my dear,” They whisper. “Now go – they’ve been waiting for you for far too long.”
The kingdom beyond the doorway of rising suns is ruled by the fiercest of Hell’s devils. The eight rulers of the kingdom after death are demons of great power. Their control over the seven rings of Hell is absolute, and they are not to be underestimated. But don’t be afraid, the High King of Hell has chosen you – and now he and his seven rulers await your call.
Another hand appears in the doorway, this time it’s more or less human. Their skin looks soft and their gesture kind. At the sight, the ‘bond’ in your chest hums in familiarity, as if you knew the form still shrouded in the darkness beyond the door. Their scent filters through your senses with the dregs of a memory you cannot touch. Every part of their body seems to call out to you, aching to bring you closer - to reconnect the part of your soul that had been parted from them. Waves of emotion overtake your body as their gentle hand reaches closer, longing to grasp your skin within their own.
Your stomach twists with butterflies and the excitement of a new adventure fills your chest, your own hand buzzing with the ache to intertwine your fingers. As the doorway shines with the warmth of dawn and the body beyond the shadow awaiting your decision, you take a deep breath in through your mouth to settle your excited nerves and step closer to the doorway.
Will you take his hand?
*:･ﾟ Welcome to the Kingdom of Night! ･ﾟ:*
As you pass by the golden doorway adorned with symbols of rising suns, your eyes are drawn towards another arching entryway. In comparison to the first, the shining metal of the curved structure is embellished with figures of the night sky. Along the twisted pillars that stand upright on either side of the entryway, there are little stars hidden behind clouds. Constellations filter across the ochre framework, littering the material as stars do in the night sky. Along the head of the doorway, the phases of the moon arch over your head. The full moon shines brightly in the center, brilliantly radiating among the other shapes - as if its prominent figure holds more importance than the other phases.
You allow your finger to run over one of the raised embellishments of a star and feel a strange hum echo through your being. It makes you shiver, as though electricity spiked each of your nerve endings and set them alight. It’s not an unwelcome feeling, however. Soon after the buzz of electricity fades, a soothing hum settles over your skin in a comforting wave of relief. The tips of your fingers still hum with that new murmur of heat and you strangely find that you like it.
The strange, otherworldly voice returns to your mind, as though you’re not hearing them aloud. They chuckle softly, as if they know something you do not, and the sound makes your chest warm. You turn to face them, despite not being able to take in their form, brows raised to question the mirth in their voice.
“Hmm,” they hum kindly, ushering you closer toward the doorway. “Another soulbond - it seems you are deeply loved in every universe, my dear.”
Their words only seem to confuse you more. Unable to find the words to question their confession, they hum softly again and offer you another gentle nudge in the direction of the door adorned with the symbols of the night sky.
You feel your pulse skip a beat as you step closer. The electricity from before returns, fizzling in the space that lingers between you and the golden door. A question is on the tip of your tongue, aching to spill forth, and you turn your head over your shoulder once more to question the being of both the sun and moon.
“What do I do?” You murmur, the familiar hum of anxiety beginning to prick at your chest.
The sun-moon being offers a sweet laugh, settling your twisting stomach with a comforting sound. They gesture towards the handle of the door, your eyes turning back to the ornate structure.
“Everything,” they murmur kindly. “And nothing. Your choice has been made - by the beat of your heart, this universe has called for you.”
You suck in a breath. Chest thumping with the beat of your heart, you feel the knob beneath your hand begin to shift as you turn the cool metal. The buzz in your veins returns tenfold, lighting each nerve along your arm.
“Don’t keep them waiting too long, lovely.” the voice returns, murmuring their final words into your mind, for you alone to hear.
Beyond the doorway of night skies and phases of the moon, lies a kingdom of magic and creatures that prowl beneath the sky of the full moon. The world is ruled by predators of the night and the eight werewolves that linger just beyond the doorway have long been awaiting your presence. The pack of stray kids formed under their unbreakable Alpha are immovable forces of nature. They guard their pack with a ferocity many creatures cannot match. And they’re waiting for you.
When a hand reaches out from the shadowed depths of the golden archway, their gentle fingers awaiting your hand, you feel that new buzz of electricity size vibrantly within you. It hums beneath your skin and feels warm and familiar. Though you’re sure you’ve never met this new person, their form feels all too comforting and memorable. The ‘bond’ in your chest surges upon sight of their hand, as though it aches to pull you towards them - to intertwine the red strings that bind you together. With that sweet murmur of heat radiating from their skin, waiting patiently for you, you step forward with your breath caught in your throat.
Will you take his hand?

Summary: Camdyn "Cam/Camy" Avery is always the dreamer; her best friend Corbyn Besson is always the dream. Her brother Jack calls them "two sides of the same coin," but Corbyn and Camdyn know one thing to be true: they can't follow each other forever.
Life has a way of molding and shaping and twisting you into who you're supposed to be, whether you're ready or not... a lesson Camdyn, Corbyn, and their friends soon learn firsthand. With four bonus brothers she gains from Jack's hockey teammates—including Corbyn—Camdyn never has to worry about facing life's winding road alone.
Shawn Mendes, is the mysterious new kid at Windermere Academy. He's never really felt like he fits in anywhere, he's never really tried. It isn't until he joins the hockey team and meets the star player's twin sister, that he feels like for the first time, he finally could. But someone within the group has their own set of secrets.
