Hi Erin!! Because my friend tells me this literally at least twice a week: “If I die, I’m haunting you first.” with Namjoon or Jungkook (you choose😉) Love you!!

One:  Jeon Jungkook is a stuffed animal come to life, all big button eyes and bunny teeth.  He’s velvet soft, the rabbit from those old books;  he couldn’t hurt a fly even if he tried (not a spider, either, if his shrieking fits about them were any indication).  He’s rounded edges and silvery laughter, bells jumbled together in the pit of his stomach.  He is not the kind of person you’re afraid of.

Two:  Jeon Jungkook hates surprises.  He’s always far too eager to be involved, to be in the know.  Whether good or bad, he needs to be looped in, begging and pleading and whining with that adorable pout of his.  It pulls his cheeks wide, cuts dimples deep, and rounds his lips until you can’t resist him any more.

Three:  Jeon Jungkook thinks he’s neat and cool and suave.  He isn’t. 

You know he isn’t because he actually screams when he steps into the apartment, beleaguered in a way a twenty-something year old shouldn’t be.  (He’d blame it on the long hours he’s been working, the overtime he’s been forced to put in.  You’d say it’s all the gaming he does when he gets home late, that keep him up until the early hours despite the fact he should know better.)

“Surprise!”   It’s a chorus of voices, threaded with love and uttered with tenderness, but it might as well be the undying cries of a thousand spectres with how Jungkook reacts.  He’s clutching his chest, very much the picture of someone who’s short circuited, shoulders heaving with the breaths he takes.

Honestly, it’s a funny sight.  Tall as he is, broad as he is, he’s reduced to a wheezing mess as everyone laughs, the sounds melting together into a cacophany of affection.  

You’re crouched at his side, hand threaded through the buttery blue strands that stick to his forehead and curl haphazardly over his ears.  “You okay?”  

“If I die, I’m haunting you first.”  Maybe if he weren’t trying to catch his breath, made deaf by the thunderclap of his pulse in his ears, you’d be more intimidated.  As it stands, you can’t help but snicker, pushing his hair back with that devilish smile of yours cemented in place.

“Happy birthday, baby.”

MAI!!! I came to scream in your inbox because that Cinderella prompt was FOUL!!! FOUL I SAY!!! I politely demand reparations for my shattered soul please (mainly by virtual love pls)😭💕

IM SO SORRY KHARLI. IF IT MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER cinderella accidentally outs oc to joon when they’re arguing and she’s immediately like oh shit plz pretend you never heard that and joon’s already so distressed ab his fight w/ ella that the news his best friend has kept her feelings and her pain locked up for so long just sends him bonkers and in a fit of uncontrolled emotions he rushes to oc who’s reading in the castle gardens bc she’s visiting rn bc cinderella is pregante with their first child. and he totally crowds her and she’s literally so mad at ella for doing that to her. so what if she has pregnant brain?! that was told all in confidence! it takes a long, very long time for ella to undo the damage she’s done and build back up that trust with both joon and oc. 

anyway joon’s like wtf you never told me?! and oc’s like would it have changed anything?! and he’s like “...........” bc he doesn’t know the answer to that. and she says “that’s what i thought.” and she leaves like immediately and actually doesn’t return for a long ass time. like not even for the birth of their first born. and joon is so soooo sad his best friend isn’t there to celebrate with him and so cinderella travels to oc’s place once her son’s weaned from breastmilk even tho strict orders by the doctor not to leave the castle! bc childbirth and breast feeding hello. but she made a mistake and she’s desperate to fix it. and she tells oc “he’s not the same without you. he doesn’t know how to function without you. please please don’t shut him out he needs you. he married me but by the gods above, he will surely die if he loses you.” and oc is so sad to hear that bc she loves joon so much but she’s so hurt. but ofc, she could never say no to joon. so she makes ella promise she’ll never bring up her feelings for joon again and that ella will also tell joon when she goes back home not to bring it up ever again either. ella promises ofc.

and so a few weeks later oc makes the travel back to the kingdom where her heart lives. and namjoon forreal breaks down and holds her and cries and cries and he’s so sorry he drove her out and he loves her so much please never leave my side again and now she’s crying too bc he’ll never mean any of that the way she wants him to.

Hi Willow! I hope that it's okay for me to slide into your asks while you're replying😅 But, I just wanted to check in and see how you were doing. Are you doing well? I hope so. If not, then you always have shoulder to lean on. I also wanted to say that I can't wait to continuing reading Sh.! I've been a bit slow with reading these days because of life😵‍💫, but Sh. is a series that will always stay on my mind, and something that I'm forever grateful for having the opportunity to read it. I'm also looking forward to reading some of your other writings that I have of yours on my to-read list. I recently finished reading one of your namjoon drabbles and now I'm just trying to create some time to write about it🥲. Anyways, I'm sending you lots of love and positive energy, friend. You always have my heart💕

my dearest Kharli 💕💕💕 oh goodness my heart gets all warm and fuzzy when I see you pop up in my notifications. thank you so much for checking in. really. i thought i would answer this all happy and cheery, but in all honesty, I am having a bit of a hard time. i've been in a toxic work and school environment for a year now, and it's weighing heavy on me. but it's at the point where, with the encouragement of the people around me, i've finally decided to do something more about it than what i have been doing: just trying to get through it all and find the bright side and the positives in a difficult situation. instead i'm getting extra support and making plans to leave. it's a little heartbreaking, because this was my dream. alas, other, healthier dreams will live in other, healthier places. i'm keeping my head up with that thought in mind.

as for reading and writing, please know that these stories are a gift for you and you don't have to feel like you need to write anything in response to them. just getting to share them with you is such a wonderful experience.

i really hope you're doing well. that life is treating you with the same kind of love that you give it, if not a hundred fold times more.

Okay, so this isnt a question about the upcoming chapter but for the previous ones: is there a favorite chapter that you have shown us so far? Which chapter was the hardest to write for any reason? And, do you have a favorite line that you've written that just made you go "yeah, I'm amazing😌". Also, any favorite characters that you've written??? (Sorry this is multiple lol!)

fadsklajsfd Kharli.... you are the sweetest 🥺🥺 this kinda got long so lemme put a cut haha

of everything that’s been released... i think my favorite has to be October 1865!! it’s just so warm, cozy, & soft. all the good things for our babes.

one of the hardest chapters was most definitely June 1869! i’m honestly forever obsessing over pacing but this one really took it out of me... i was DETERMINED to get it right. i needed it to be read a certain way & i really really wanted the flow to be there so i agonized over every single line in that chapter... i’m still not 100% satisfied with the first half but i don’t think i’ll ever be lol!!! also the smut chapters in general just tend to be more difficult bc i always try to pack a lot of.... subtle details 👀 in.

HAHA omg alright lemme inflate my ego for a lil bit... 

from November 1868: “In his eyes, the thin scar ever carved down the right, you find only more depths. Fathomless, endless depths – dark and painful still. “

OOF you know me & my ending lines hahaha. this line went through... god i think i changed the wording at least 10 times until i finally settled on this one. even as i was uploading it after the final edit in my word doc, i was still changing it on the tumblr post LOOOOOL. 

from October 1865: “There’s a weight to those words that you feel in the pit of your heart. A pull that draws you to him like the reckless tides towards his moon – a gravitational longing to know what truth vibrates beneath.”

gravitational longing was a phrase that i took from a poem i never finished 🤧 i really like that phrase so i was happy to put it in here. also this entire scene is just very close to my heart.

FAVORITE CHARACTERS! Scholar Park is my baby 🥺🥺🥺 but i think my favorite is probably.... Yoongi? no. OC? oh god. i don’t know. hahah maybe the main couple is more like troublesome children, that u have to love even when they’re being difficult 🤣 i guess Jimin’s always been easy-flowing for me 🥰

I was so lucky to have met Kharli in the BTS hub servers! From the get-go, she was incredibly sweet, uplifting, and most supportive cinnamon roll I'd ever met on the internet. Kharli has warmed my heart in her sweet love notes and drop-ins in my asks or notifications and I know that I'm not the only one who thinks that! I know she has the rep of leaving such detailed, loving reviews on people's fics and that's like, so cool to us as writers, like she truly sees and appreciates the efforts we put in. She has a way of making you feel like she's right next to you, hugging you over the internet. Plus, she's a beauty - inside and out! Mwah!

❤️💖❤️

I've been following along too and Alice in Borderland is by far one of my -if not my favorite-series ever. Like I went out and did some more research after I finished watching it because it's just so good (also my favorite character is Chesiya too!). But yeah, after episode 3 I was literally like "😃 everything's fine!" I hope that you enjoy the series as much as I did though, and I can't wait for season 2! This is one show that I could watch again and still have the same feelings as before, so enjoy!!

I am SO excited for season two! Like after I got past the hump of episode 3 this was such a rollercoaster to watch because I really sat there and thought Beach genuinely (a flawed but) amazing idea for collecting cards and DUH I didn’t even think about completing a deck could get them out! But I sat there and thought hmmm how could they get a ten of hearts and then I was like OKAY THAT WORKS TOO it was such a mess!!! Not gonna lie I was really rooting for Chishiya and Koina despite them backstabbing Arisu 😫

Like I haven’t touched a manga outside of kuroshitsuji but like IM WILLING TO MAKE THE ACCEPTATION BECAUSE THIS TRULY IS IMMACULATE I just love this series so much!! It was such a thriller and a great watch!

Ooooh! Fangs for the word game

👀

Irises swimming with crimson, pupils blown out, chest heaving, dark hair mussed, lips painted red, fangs still visible past his parted lips – he looked the very picture of sin. 

Send me a word and I’ll post a sentence from my Vamp!Jin wip!
