update: pirate king

for those who don't know, i am currently working on a poly pirate au series with fantasy and royal elements. i have always wanted to write a pirate au for ateez and this series will be my last published work on here.

currently, i have a masterlist. i had the idea to divide this fic into arcs this time which also helped a great deal with outlining. i think i have almost all of the worldbuilding and storyline outlined (for once! strange considering i always dived right in before). i have finished writing chapter 1 (out of an estimated 20). i have no idea what the word count will be, but knowing me, it's going to hover somewhere around 150k. i don't think i can capture the magnitude of this fic in anything less.

as to when i post the masterlist... prob when i have at least 50 percent of the fic written? until then, i do plan to (try to) write other fics. however, energy runs low and time runs short. i am not sure if i will be able to share much with you guys before i start to post this fic and once i start, it's officially the end of an era lmao.

i will try to update you guys about the progress of this fic as best as i can! i will probably share the worldbuilding aspects of this fic soon. if you guys have any questions regarding this fic or anything else, please feel free to reach out to me and i shall respond as best as i can! hope you guys are all well and stay happy and healthy <33

and here's a reminder that we're all just humans who got real lives and struggles to deal with. there is a possibility that this fic may never see the light of the day. i will of course try my best though. engagement and interactions are much appreciated esp since motivation runs so very low for so many writers here!

if i ever write a full blown pirate au series for poly ateez with elements of royalty and fantasy, would anyone even want to read it? esp if it doesn't have smut and is suggestive at most?

asking bc i am not sure if we are still interested in ateez as pirates. or in reading series. or in reading anything that is longer than idk. 10k. which isn't long at all. 10k is literally one or two bites. or in reading anything that does not contain smut. i know you all are smut hoes and you can't convince me otherwise. it is truly truly a shame that y'all don't give anything that does not have smut a chance.

would you read a novel-sized pirate au poly ateez fic?

hell yes. (click only if you can commit. i have one helluva idea)

no (novel size is too lengthy and you prefer sth shorter)

no (you are not interested in poly pairing)

no (you do not read anything that has no smut) (no judgement 🥀)

no (you are not a fan of pirate au's)

You could not live the rest of your life with Yunho while watching Hongjoong from the sidelines, or spend the rest of your life with Hongjoong after breaking Yunho’s heart. It would be the cruelest punishment to one or the other.

If you could not have them both… you would prefer to have none of them. That would be your punishment for being so selfish and letting your heart yearn for both the sun and the moon when there should only be a place for one.

i have 3 royal au's brewing in my wips, almost halfway to completion. 2 of them will see the light soon (i hope). 1 of them is going to brew for a hot while bc of the sheer monstrosity of that concept.

we are so (kinda) back!

The Leaders | chapter 6 teaser

“Oh, dear,” Seonghwa pulled you closer, prompting you to settle on your knees instead of keeping them upright as a barrier between you two. “Tell me you said something he deserved to hear.”

“I did,” you sniffed. “I told him not to come after me or mine ever again unless he wants to start a war he can never win.”

A smirk creeped up the underboss’ lips, sending a stirring of nerves to your stomach. “Me or mine, huh?”

“I had to say something–”

“You did well,” Seonghwa said, cupping your face and wiping your eyes, nodding in acknowledgement. “You did so well, love. And I’m glad you stayed strong. You don’t ever have to break in front of your father anymore. You can break in front of me, in front of any of us but– never him.”

You looked at Seonghwa, truly looked at him. His eyes glinted with a million unsaid things, but even in the dim light of the lamp, you could tell that they held admiration and something like pride. Something you always wished to see in someone’s eyes when they looked at you.

“Why do you cry, love?” He asked, wiping the tears that threatened to roll down your cheeks. You didn’t even realise that you were crying silently now.

“I don’t know,” you told him. “Seonghwa– can I really break in front of you?”

Something unreadable flickered across Seonghwa’s face. “You can. With me, or Hongjoong, or any of us, you can be yourself. We’re here– I’m here for you. You never have to feel alone again.”

You tightened your lips, stifling a sob. Seonghwa only smiled, scooting closer to plant a kiss on your forehead. You let out a shaky breath and then went still as he kissed your cheek. 

“Won’t you look at me?”

The deep timbre of his voice sounded inside your skull. You kept your eyes shut and he wiped the remnants of the tears away from your lashes before kissing both your eyelids, his soft lips like feathers of an angel's wing shielding you from everything that hurt you. Your hands tangled in his shirt as he continued to pepper light kisses all over your face, the sound of his breath making your heart flutter uncontrollably. However, he stopped right when he kissed near your mouth, his hands almost shaking as he cradled your jaw and pulled back to gauge your reaction.

“Look at me.”

“I’m scared,” you opened your eyes and your gaze stuck on his plump lips. “I don’t understand why you all want me. I don’t understand why we’re here, like this.”

He only smiled in answer. “Is it too much?”

“That’s the thing,” you scoffed in disbelief. “I don’t think it is.”

Meeee I'm that curious person you're looking for asgjkl So, I'm inclined to ask for Not Too Late simply because it's in my top 5 all time fave Ateez songs (highly underrated ugh), buuuut, I'm highly, highly interested in Propaganda. The sky is the limit with that one omg.

LOL hi there! i will answer for both fics then hehe for you i can 🙂‍↕️

not too late is such a lovely song. so the idea i have for that fic is a simple lovers to strangers to lovers. i want to write sth mundane for once and talk about second chances. i have chosen san for this fic.

propaganda though? it’s a crazy idea i had recently about an arranged marriage au with mingi except mingi is a govt or military official and reader is a spy 😮‍💨 i hope i can do justice to this idea haha i have written sth similar before (the spy x person of power trope) so i really wanna have fun with mingi’s character in this one! i feel like he would be a devastatingly good companion 😩😩
