Last Ten Opening Lines

Rules: post the first sentence of your last ten fics. If you haven’t written ten fics, share as many first-sentences as you have.

got this from @wifiwuxians (I started typing this yesterday i just was so sleepy haha)

i don't know if anyone i know writes fanfics except one person, and i also don't have a lot of fics to give an example for...however, i'll give what i can cuz this sounded fun to do. Plus, maybe you'll see a few things you haven't seen yet!!

so i guess i tag any authors who follow me or see this. @foxyyaoguai is the only one i know personally, don't feel pressured tho!

man this list gives me a bad reputation for finishing things, i just haven't done many fanfictions in my life (i usually write original stuff)

“Oi, brat.” Eren sighed quite verbally from where he was laying, looking up at the tree above him shortly after his eyes cracked open. - Hey Brat (AOT/Attack on Titan fanfic, coincidentally the first fic i ever started to attempt writing. Ereri i believe. incomplete/not finishing)

Tight breaths were ragged in Tommy’s chest, his own screams covering the sound of bruised knuckles slamming against the two fighters’ bodies. - AHTFF/A Height to Fall From (Minecraft, Tommyinnit centric / SBI, sorta a fantasty/timeline hop AU...never posted it and its unfinished...should i post it anyway sometime? i wrote a lot for this one and it has a full outline for 3 fics & 2 epilogues. i also drew a bunch of designs for them...seems like it'd be a shame to let it rot.)

The usual trip home was late at night today. - His Forever Home (Minecraft, Tommyinnit / SBI / Awesamfam childhood AU, unfinished, unposted)

In hindsight, it was a childish mistake. - BB/Boar Brothers (Minecraft, Tommyinnit / SBI childhood AU, unfinished. I believe this was a companionfic to HFH.) unfinished

Screams were ringing in the teen’s ears. - His Lullaby (Minecraft, Tommyinnit centric / SBI this one is complete and posted, a simple one-shot with a lot of feels)

“A-Yuan.” - Ghost of Mine (MDZS/Mo Dao Zu Shi - Wangxian, half a fix it ? Ghost wwx AU - In progress and being posted as we speak)

Someone’s memories crashed into him like a storm. - GOM-MXY (Companion fic to Ghost of Mine, the MXY one. in progress, will be posted at gom's halfway point).

“Wei…Ying…are you alright?” - COI / Clash of Immortals (Demon/Angel Wangxian AU but with my own universe version of Hell. you guys know what this is, no Ao3 yet- in progress.)

Lan Wangji couldn’t stop crying. - IMBSB/In My Blood, Stardust Blooms (MDZS one/two shot abt angel lwj and angel wwx, in progress)

Greetings sect leader Jiang, I hope this letter finds you well. - The Wild Plum Tree / TWPT (MDZS Xicheng Companionfic for GOM) in progress.

BONUS (11.) : Lan Wangji stumbled through the streets of Yiling, leaning heavily on his sword as he did. - TDKW/The Dead Keep Walking (MDZS one/two shot abt corpse wwx. in progress.)

fuck it i added the rest here because i honestly haven't started that many fics lmao i didn't know i had actually made 11 fics, even if half aren't going to get done (aka anything that isn't the mdzs fandom stuff) so like, 1-4 are dead fics, bc im not interested anymore or fell out of the fandom for personal reasons. The rest though are things im currently working on and am striving to complete! see the project list here with summaries.

um...i'm done ig?? go make your own posts!

#i forget how to label these sorts of posts. what is this called? its not meme is it? forgive me #i'll add the tag later if i remember what it is #sasu is being social #sasu speaks #all my fanfiction 1st lines (minus the ones not started #mdzs #aot #minecraft #fanfiction #mdzs fanfiction #aot fanfiction #minecraft fanfiction #AHTFF #HFH #TDKW #BB #His Lullaby #HL #Ghost of Mine #GOM #IMBSB #COI #TWPT #GOM-MXY #fanfic #mdzs fic #mo dao zu shi #the grandmaster of demonic cultivation

[mal-zoya]

More than 1350 words of Malarklina :) I have a weird one for you this time. I don't know that I've ever seen you mention Haunted Mansion (the Eddie Murphy film) and yet it’s been stuck in my mind since I realized actor Nathaniel Parker was the older version of BB’s character in Stardust, so: Aleksander as the guardian of the Little Palace in 1980s/90s-ish AU (but still Grisha) Os Alta, which functions as a history museum but also a cultural center for Grisha, [1/

i-

this is the wildest ride i have ever been on. oh. my. god.

okay, i love 'haunted mansion' i love that movie and i see the vision, ok. first of all, this can be its own show, like i can't even begin to untangle this. you had me on mal=luda because that's always correct, and everyone who disagrees is just wrong, but i'm just speechless?

#malarklina #shadow and bone #i'm just gonna leave this here #i don't know what to add this is already full blown fanfic #replies

27, 35 and 43 😊

Thank you!! 💕💕💕

What area of writing do you feel strongest in?

SMUT. Well, it's definitely the area I feel I have the greatest technical understanding and expertise in, if not the area I'm always the most proficient or productive in. Sometimes even I need a break from smut 🥲

What’s your favorite fic you’ve posted?

SUCH A HARD QUESTION. It's a toss up between Make me Come Undone and Blue Blood, because I'm just so proud of both of them. MMCU is my Magnum Opus of porn, truly I sometimes still astound myself when thinking about it. But BB is my crowning achievement as a writer, so it might take the cake.

Is there a trope or idea that you’d really like to write but haven’t yet?

Of course, Vampire!Kinn. But I'm also quite enamoured with the idea of a dark, twisted fairytale style story, either something along the lines of a Dark Stardust AU or a mermaid/man AU with lots of guts and horror. I just think that sounds really fun 🤣

Ask me something!

#ahdris asks #ask game

[korships]

distraction ask! if your ultimate + main f/os swapped roles, who would end up in what universe and how would it go? are theres any characters in the universe they get along with well or dislike? and among your ultimate and mains, who fell in love first and who confessed first?

this is gonna be long. not sure if you meant straight up like switching roles/backstories or just kinda like au so theres a mix. will do all the love/confession ones separately from the au/role switch. doin 2 of the au/role-switch for the first 2 but everyone else gets one cus this is so long

also if anyone searching a series/character sees this, it is selfship au cringe stuff just block if u dont wanna see it

omi first

- puttin him in the hypmic universe would be something. he’s not particularly shy & isnt scared of performing in front of others, until he hears the term “rap battle”, then he starts feeling nervous about performing in front of an audience. if he will be performing with mtc in place of rio, he’ll look the part, but acting the part or filling rios shoes is a whole different story. if he were to take on rios backstory, i actually see it as somewhat believable, but he would absolutely hate living the survival lifestyle, would get seriously lonely after like 8 hrs alone in the woods. would probably get along well with bb, since he’s good at dealing with rowdy teens, would get a long w/ bat for a similar reason. might be able to get along with the other 2 members of mtc after a grace period, he often deals with two people in his own group who butt heads in both universes, has the patience to put up with it. doesnt necessarily dislike anyone, but has people he finds it more difficult to get along with, the hifumi & doppo duo intimidate him a bit.

- i think gbf would also be a fun place to speculate him inhabiting. especially if he were to trade places with seofon. i dont think he has it in him to be as cunning as seofon, but i do see him being able to be an extremely capable warrior capable of being called an eternal. he led a gang of his own in a3, but despite its influence and reputation it pales in comparison to the eternals. he would take the role of leader of the eternals extremely seriously, dedicating most of his time to it, i could see him being almost consumed by it. theres so many gbf characters, and he’d get along with most. i think him and rackam would bond over a mutual love for their fav vehicles, i could see him getting along with all the other eternals too, especially the twins & he would be very dedicated to helping and visiting stardust. will definitely have better success assembling the eternals for meetings than seofon ever did. outside of like obvious villains, i dont think he’d get along with people who are overly-knightly/obsessed with their own version of justice. also he would be a draph because thats what i want

seofon next because it would be hilarious .

- a3 seofon would be almost impressive. capable of adapting to any character or role given, like omi will often get cast as a villain, but not for his looks, but for his ability to be villainous. would work best in a drama, but quite capable of pulling off other genres. has the charm to play a role in springs buddy plays, the ability to act in a comedy (despite the fact that his jokes outside of whats in the script often fall flat), has the physical ability to play in autumns actions, but most adept at playing “righteous villains” or villains who think theyre the hero in some form (ex: omis stray devil blues role). “get along with” is a bit of a loaded phrase with him, will he develop deep friendships? probably not. will he come to care for the members? yea, notably gets along with azuma & banri. he absolutely is passive aggressive as fuck with chikage, seriously fake as fuck, he doesnt quite get why he doesnt like chikage but he trusts his intuition enough to not question it.

- y/7 seofon is concerning. not the most “yakuza” looking dude, not the strongest looking dude ever. but fights with a sword of some kind surprisingly strong when he does fight, mostly because he’s very capable of strategy and cunning. i think a “rising from the bottom” journey fits him well tho. outside of like the antagonists, he’s able to get along w/ the y/7 gang for the most part, especially if he started out alone, gets along best with nanba. him an zhao are cordial, but theres something very off about the way they interact that you cannot place. not outwardly hostile, but as if theyre both constantly coming up with plans to deal with the other.

rio is the most likely out of anyone here to be able to adjust to his new life.

- but him in a universe that will require minimal fighting and will allow him minimal isolation, like a3, will be the biggest challenge for him. he can easily perform on stage, but acting is not easy for him, imitating emotions especially is a struggle for him. even more of a struggle is probably almost utter lack of alone time. like omi, he enjoys cooking, especially for people he cares about or likes, but him and omi garner completely different reactions when seen in the kitchen. omi is met with relief, rio is met with fear. he is by no means a bad cook, and what he cooks tastes good, but the ingredients and look are off-putting. fits best with autumn as action geared plays are where he belongs, theres an unspoken rule to not put him in a comedy unless the character is meant be comedic in the fact of not being funny/not able to understand comedy. gets along with pretty much everyone, gets along with banri & juza purely because the familiar feeling of jyuto & samatoki. gets along well with tasuku & hisoka because he can be comfortably silent with them. struggles to get along with itaru because of how different they are.

sugimoto has an almost perfect fit.

- he would fit incredibly well into y/7. surviving getting shot? check. climbing up from the bottom? check. a ragtag group of friends bordering on found family? check. a deep care and want to help those he cares for? check. he is also incredibly tough, his fighting ability would definitely help him in the y/7 universe. instead of a standard tattoo, his scars would come to symbolize his status. earns the “immortal” nickname. he’s also dealt with cunning opponents and is equipped to deal with a lot of the y/7 ones. gets along well with the eccentrics of the bunch more than those who are more normal, doesnt even dislike any of the y/7 gang but has a harder time getting along with like eri/saeko since theyre pretty normal comparatively.

ichiban was the hardest here to place. its hard to see him fitting in somewhere else.

- but gbf ichi has potential. he is a capable leader and has shown to be able to decently strategize, but if push came to shove, handling everything the eternals do or having to be cunning or cruel is something he’d struggle immensely with, on the other hand the charity work, the protection, the heroism of the role is what keeps him at it. this is the best way for his rpg hero dreams to come true, he will likely have to fight an actual dragon at some point. extremely easy for him to get along with others, he’s also pretty forgiving. has trouble with anre tho, just do their interactions having to have some political lace, much like seofon and anres.

as for who fell in love first/confessed first

- for omi, it depends on how you define “fell for”. i definitely ~fell~ for him quickly, but it took a bit for that initial feeling to grow deeper. i fell first, but he fell harder first. for both of us, it took a while to confess, we’re both dealing with issues feeling unworthy or guilty about more positive emotions, but i confessed first.

- for seofon, theres no real “who fell first” we got along very naturally from the start. he developed romantic feelings before i did tho, by a small margin. there was also no real confession, we hung out a lot and people thought we were already together anyways. plus, with how dangerous the gbf world is and especially how dangerous his role is, it almost felt like asking for trouble if there was any official labeling or start to our relationship. it took a while before we officially “confessed” or labeled anything.

- for rio, its a struggle to figure out who fell for the other first. he’s had feelings for someone before, but that was a long time ago when he was a teen. he had trouble identifying what the emotions he felt for me exactly were, he knew i was a friend, but he knew he felt something deeper. i think i developed feelings first but there was a lot of hesitation due to how different we are and how different our lifestyles are. i’m the one who confessed, because he would likely not.

- for sugimoto, he fell first, but i fell harder faster. due to the general circumstances, neither of us were focused on our romantic feelings, so it took a while to confess. he actually confessed first.

- for ichiban, i fell first, and it took him a while to feel the same way about me. confessing wasnt an option for me, because the dude was going thru a lot & i didnt wanna add pressure or uneasiness. but he’s very open and confessed not long after figuring out he felt that way about me.

[snickerdoodlles]

stardust au for the wip ask game!! its one of my favourite movies and i love your writing, so im very curious to your spin of it

can you believe i tried to scroll back nearly two months of DMs while also messaging jemmo to find this AU's convo before i remembered that i copied it all into the doc sitting in my drive folder?? brilliant, i am not

but okie dokie so!! stardust AU! it's a bit of a hot mess rn ngl--i have a lot of the story's start figured out, but im still working out where it's going to go. as a quick note, my current name claim for Pat and Paa's mother is Nam. anyways, we begin here:

Many would say this story begins in the far past, quite possibly all the way back to when their country’s ancestors decided blood should not be the only consideration when choosing a ruler. They’d tell you all the ways the rules to choosing a new king were refined, the ways people have always tried to lie and cheat their way to the throne. Maybe they’d even tell you how fallen stars are a blessing or a curse, depending on a point of view, for even things as grand as the night heavens are relevant to this tale.

But for Pat, everything began here: his childhood, coloured gold and warm, his sister in their father’s lap and him tucked against his side as he set aside his crown and tells them a story.

we're playing hot and fast with worldbuilding atm, but in this version, the rival prince thing is not between the sons of one king, but rather the ruler chooses a successor that they think will suit the country best from a group of candidates. a lot of candidates do mostly come from noble houses because resources and biases and other such annoyances, but there was that one time the mad king sent out burnt seeds and chose the person who made it grow best

and in Ming's case, he became king because when a star fell almost twenty-five years ago, he was the one who found the star and consumed its heart. the king was impressed by his decisiveness and given that Ming was already a favourable candidate for the throne, a king with a star's protection against harm pushed him to the top

well. one little problem.

Ming never ate a star's heart.

in fact, Paa's been secretly living as his daughter and Pat's little sister ever since she fell and Ming and Nam scooped her up. so when, at the start of this whole story, the assassination attempt against him works, suddenly everyone's questioning just what the hell this guy's been playing at for all these years. if he didn't eat the star's heart over twenty years ago, did someone else take it, or is the star still out there?

the main story begins with Nam waking up Pat and Paa in the middle of the night with the dire warning "your father is dead, you need to leave, now." Pat's already pretty worried, but then his mother also hugs him, fresh tears in her eyes, and says "I'm so sorry, my son, i've failed you. i never should have let your father become king, or let him die like this." Pat tries to ask her what the fuck that's supposed to mean, but then Nam's back to business sneaking him and Paa out of the castle (“who do you, completely and absolutely, would stake your sisters life on it, trust?” “Ink” “good, you have someone. convince her to go with you, Paa’s life depends on it”). she and Korn get the two siblings out of the castle within the hour, Pat and Paa scoop up Ink on their way out, and two days later Pran pops up to smack Pat upside the head because "you need to cover your tracks better idiot!!"

so the four of them are gallivanting across the countryside, where they eventually get scooped up by Chai (Chai's the Captain Shakespeare equivalent in this AU btws). and in amongst their various adventures there, Chai's accidentally going to say that he's glad Ming never killed the star like he planned to in Pat's hearing vicinity, and Pat's "wait, what" startles about 20 years off of Chai's life because fucking shit, he did not ever want Pat to know this

Chai: ah, sorry. I shouldn’t say more Pat: no, please tell me Chai: the man is dead Pat, what good will me telling you things now do? Pat: it’s precisely because he’s dead that I’m asking you. Chai, please. all I ever hear now is how my father was a liar and a cheater. that’s all I ever will hear about him now, I won’t get any truth from listening to rumours from strangers who didn’t know him. but I’ll be dishonouring his memory if what I know is a lie. please (and what goes unsaid by both of them is that Nam is the one he should truly be talking to, but he doesn’t even know if he’ll ever see her alive again)

see, for Pat, he's always known his father had lied about consuming the heart of a star. he and Paa's favourite stories as children always revolved around a trickster lying to protect something smaller and more precious than them, just like their Papa does for Paa. for weeks, Pat's been living with people whispering vile things about his dead father, someone who he dearly loves and respects even when he's gone, and the knowledge that his father was only what the rumours say he was to protect his sister from someone else's greed has been a huge source of strength for him.

but then he learns that that's not the case at all. that Ming could have very well scooped up Paa with the full intention of killing her. Nam was the one who planned to save Paa, the one to come up with the plans to hide Paa's identity. the ruse where Ming claimed to have eaten the star's heart started with Ming, but it's unclear if that was a compromise or him working angles. either way though, it was never the selfless, caring act Pat believed it was. when his mother said she failed him, she meant this--not recognising that Ming's genuine offer to help was also a power grab until it was too late, not until after she and her children were trapped in it. Ming loved his family, all three of them, and he did try to protect and provide for his wife and children. but he never truly considered all possible options, or what might be best for them, not if it meant that he'd have to sacrifice. Ming tried to keep his family safe, but he could’ve done so much more had he given up his pride

it hurts, but it hurts more when he goes to tell Paa. Paa's emotions on their father is a lot more tricky--there's a lot more cognitive dissonance. she was so young and confused when she fell. she recognized that Ming was using her in some capacity, but he was also one of the kind people that helped her and cared for her and swung her up on his shoulders when they walked through the gardens and made her laugh until her belly ached

When Pat tells her, Paa mostly just curls in on herself. "I think, on some level, I always knew that I was a tool for him," she says quietly. "Just like how you were a tool for him as well."

"I wasn't--" Pat begins to protest.

"He loved us," Paa interrupts, not in disagreement. "But I was his way to succeed in this lifetime, then you were there to carry on his legacy." Paa hugs her knees closer. "Even when he thought of us, he was thinking of himself. We couldn't ever be just his kids.

"I knew this Hia. I think I always did." Paa curls in on herself smaller.

"So why does it hurt so much?"

tbd on how this growing monster ends, but there's a loooooot of Jindapat (not you Ming) love in it. i think the only thing i have jotted down for the end is that Pat gets a chance to go to Ming's grave and let out a lot of his feelings about everything. he loves his father, he's so grief stricken that he's dead, and the most selfish thing the man ever did was die and leave the mess to his family to clean up, and Pat deserves to yell at him for that

,,,chapter #game 16 37 22 uhh 15

15 is rhythm chapter 5, coming out on monday!!! it’s titled bubble tea~

summary:

I can't explain this kind of love It pulls me to you, I want it, I can't get enough So share this precious life with me Just take my hand and let's enjoy the things that we'll see

i honestly want to make a krbk gifset of this at some point but hhh gathering all the clips would be a painnnn

here, have a snippet of the chapter~

Eijirou finally sat back. “But don’t worry, you were my best choice for a fake boyfriend.”  “Really now?” Bakugou mirrored his posture, although he made sure to differentiate himself by tossing an arm behind the back of his own chair. “Tell me why.”  Eijirou felt his brain trip over a banana peel. “Well, uh, you said ‘yes’ for one thing,” he said, scrambling to recover.

fun fact, i took kiri’s answer here from the time i went around asking all my teachers what they liked best abt their significant others. my gov teacher paused and was like, “she said yes”

16 is rhythm chapter 6, titled after funny you should ask by the front bottoms

But you were young you thought you didn't have to care about anything  But you're older now and wish that you could 'cause you were young you thought you didn't have to care about anyone  But you're older now and know that you should  It's funny you should ask, 'cause I don't remember  It's funny you should ask, I coulda been a contender

this is the first chronological event in all of the Bb au i’ve thought out so far, happening in around november of their freshman year. it details bakugou’s history with switching schools i this au. 

22 is moment ch. 14, titled never look away by vienna teng

If you’re out there in the cold…  I want your warm bright eyes  To come back to me  And hold on to me  You know I won’t lie  I will never look away 

this is actually the chapter i picked for six sentence sunday ehehehe. here, have another snippet i’m proud of~

If she’d bothered to pay attention to her thoughts, they’d at least be clearer by now, but there was so much she’d rather not think about. Chatting with Kaminari for most of the day was a lot of fun. She’d laughed so much that she’d lost count before even leaving the mall.  But it was weird.  She briefly pulled her hands out of her sleeves and breathed onto them for a second. Then, she tucked them away again and stared off into the horizon, at the distant houses on the other side of the lake, all brightly lit in a rainbow of colors.  She couldn’t quite place why, but her happiness felt weird.

37 is rhythm 15, which is in the middle of the tour arc!! titled super trouper bc all chapters of the tour arc are named after abba songs and i have almost no regrets about this decision

Super Trouper beams are gonna blind me  But I won't feel blue  Like I always do  'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you

this chapter is fun bc it’ll be told from mina’s perspective, making it probably the only chapter in all of rhythm to be told not from kiri’s or baku’s perspectives. according to my notes and summary, it’s mostly just her and jirou bonding. 

#asks #Bb spoilers #w/o you Bb #this ask made me realize just how far ahead i'm currently writing for this au lmao #like aside from the fact that barline is set during the tour arc ofc #HOW ARE YOU FEELING ABOUT THESE SPOILERS LMAO #all day i was just like 'i'm so bored this week i might update moment early' #so We'll See what happens tomorrow #or in like an hour lol #ARE YOU EXCITED WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS AAAAAA #stardust-make-a-wish

When Finn turns to his right, Poe stands beside him, looking up at Finn and giving him what might be a smirk if he weren’t too busy smiling. It’s that same smile that’s made home on his face ever since Finn said, “I’d like to see Yavin IV. If I’d be welcome.” Poe had blinked fast, but the smile came slow. “Buddy,” he’d replied, “I’m offended that you even had to ask.”

A year after the Battle of Exegol, Finn and Poe visit Yavin IV. While there, Finn struggles with the Force and his complicated relationship with Poe.

“we slept with our backs against the weather” by bogpersons (T - 8.4k)

Poe’s breaths come in stops and starts, and wheezes on the inhale and exhale. He sounds like a dying man. Finn lifts Poe’s hand to his lips, presses it there, squeezes his eye shut. Something harsh and painful swells in his chest, finds a place under his heart and pushes and pushes and pushes until Finn can barely breathe with it. You are a Human Person. Finn and Poe crash on a jungle planet. Finn struggles with himself.

“We Stan A Healthy Family Dynamic (The Kes Verse)” by AphroditesTummyRolls SERIES (Not rated, 161.7k)

Get in losers, we're giving the Star Wars Sequel cast the story they deserved-- Particularly Poe and Finn.

[Set after the events of TFA, rewrites of TLJ and neat little bits in-between. Poe deals with the aftermath Kylo Ren’s interrogation, dealing with regret and trauma, with the help of his friends and dad through a rewrite of TLJ.]

“your love will be safe with me” by incalyscent (T - 8.6k)

when finn stripped away the violence from himself, what did he have left? it was love; love; love.

“i’m yours (and suddenly you’re mine) by spacepilotprince (E - 4.3k)

Finn snorts against Poe's stomach, and it forces a ticklish laugh out of him. “Laying it on a little thick tonight, aren't you?” Finn asks as he looks up at Poe, and finds that grin he heard in his voice.

“Not the only thing that's thick,” Poe says with a smirk, glancing down between them towards Finn's cock.

“Oh, shut up,” Finn laughs, surging up to kiss him, muffling Poe's laughter. Poe runs his hands over Finn's shoulders and tips his head aside, sending Finn's mouth down his jaw and neck.

“Contact” by earthmylikeness (M - 9.9k)

Because what could Finn do but live through it? Live in the remains of his own shipwrecked mind, his badly-crossed wires. Imagine Poe’s perpetually bitten mouth on him - his wide, calloused hands on his bare chest, pulling him down and down whenever he so much as closes his eyes. 

Finn has a delayed reaction to surviving the crash.

“Best Laid Efforts” by cosmicocean (T - 3.7k) @cosmicoceanfic

In which Jessika and Temmin do their best, aren't even subtle about it, and Poe and Finn are still morons.

“Ad Pacem” by SteveTrevorsStarship (T - 1.5k) 

Finn knows war and rebellion so far. He doesn’t know peace. (Yet.)

“First Comes the Night” by coffeeinallcaps (E - 20.1k)

He doesn’t get nightmares. He doesn’t dream about the mask, the cries of the villagers, waking up in the desert with a blinding headache and his mouth filled with blood and the man who’d saved him gone, most likely dead. Instead, he just can’t sleep.

“have you heard” by peradi (Not rated, 42.1k)

"I heard FN-2187 was a Stormtrooper." 

Finn sparks a revolution.

“Doubt” by Cadoan (T - 1.4k) 

After the battle of Crait, something has changed in Poe. Poe can't sleep, and Finn goes to find him.

“Neither Here Nor There” by d8rkmessengr (T - 7.8k)

Sometimes, it felt like he wasn't really here. Sometimes, it felt like it wasn't really over. And the one person who tethered him left to finally tell Rey something. Post The Rise of Skywalker.

“How to Be a Finn” by Ayashiki (G - 111k)

In a hindsight, all of it - the stolen childhood, the crash on Jakku, Han Solo's death, even the lightsaber to the back - was easier than living in this world of invisible social clues and inside jokes, the whirlwind of this ragtag family that defied any logic, the caring, the compassion, the love. And all the while people tell him: Finn, you are so brave! Finn, you are so strong! Finn, you are so kind! Finn, thank you for saving my life! And FN-2187 looks to the stars and desperately tries to find this "Finn" everyone seems to know in himself.

“On the Other Side” by StarMaple (T - 27.2k)

Finn discovers the differences first hand between the First Order and the Resistance and establishes a space for himself on D'Qar.

“we are all stardust” by synergenic (Losseflame) (Not rated, 15.3k)

Finn wakes up. He wakes up slow, the rising tide of consciousness making him aware, firstly, of how stale his mouth tastes. Then it's the general stiffness of his body, the foreign feeling of a pillow beneath his head, the softness of the clothes he's wearing. Finn doesn't think he's ever worn clothes so soft.

“No Sleep till Brooklyn” by TheCarrot (T first chapter, second chapter E, - 10.4k)

Poe is exhausted. And not just because he hasn’t slept for more than three hours at a time in Force knows how long. Moreover it’s the 39 flights he’s run in the last 22 days and the fact Pava had gotten deathlike sick eight days ago and then they had fallen behind on a few supply runs and an emergency evacuations of some of their pathfinders and then there had been a last minute scramble to one of their allies in the mid rim with far too many TIEs to be comfortable and then- well, Poe just wants to fall over onto the floor and stay there.

AUs

“Time of the Underdog” by beeeawolf, SERIES. (G & T, 56k)

Modern times AU, Poe is a former Navy pilot who was discharged after a crash and being a POW. Finn is a university student who manages to catch Poe’s run away dog, BB-8, who’s literally everything to him.

“We Didn’t Start the Fire” by MayGlenn and cognomen (E - 10.7k)

There’s a calm that claims them all when they’re working and it’s going the way it’s supposed to; the low-level hum of concentration and focus and adrenaline that keeps them on edge without panic. The crew deploys from Idaho, a home base that they see perhaps 3 weeks out of the entire 26 week fire season, interspersed with time in camps and housing all over the country. This week, it’s California—sunny, liberal, beach lined, and on fire.

Finn's a Hotshot firefighter; Poe's the team Helitack operator. They're headed to California to fight a fire in San Jacinto; dangerous country.

“It’s Not Goodbye” by mssrj_335 (T - 25.9k)

Finn is an ex-soldier on a solo motorcycle trip across America. Poe is the mechanic in a small desert town. Poe wants to keep his secrets and Finn is running from something--or toward it--and the part for his bike is going to take at least a week to come in. What starts as a quick stop and awkward flirt devolves into a conspiratorial intrigue of a very personal nature. Lights in the desert, headaches and vague memories all point Finn to something that has Poe tied in knots. He just has no idea how far that something will take him.

“A Possibility (A Promise)” by sapphistication (T - 5.9k)

Poe, Prince of Yavin, is briefly reunited with the Resistance Fighters lead by General Leia Organa. After three years apart, he quickly finds that his affections for Finn are of a different nature than he remembers. Despite the war they find themselves in, they share a few moments of peace by the fire, filled with soft words and meaningful smiles. Time works against them, but Poe seeks a possibility and makes a promise.

jaemin, fluff, neighbors to lovers maybe?? childhood friends!au maybe?? whatever you decide, bb <3 (if the blurb thing is over or you don't want to write it/don't have time I completely understand! no pressure <//3 love youuu mwah mwah)

it doesn't take even a day for jaemin's eyes to shape into hearts after a (cute) new neighbor moved in next door. do you need help unpacking? would you like me to show you around the area? oh! here's some cookies i baked earlier! — all of these would have been suspicious had he not housed the entire sun in his big, bright smile. it blinds you and stuns you that you can't mumble out a yes without stuttering. good morning! did you sleep well last night? tell me if there's anything troubling you! he always bounces as if stardust runs in his veins, buzzing and sparking with excitement all the time. always thoughtful, always endearing. he is quite forgetful, though— it didn't slip into his mind to tell you his name until a week into your stay.

Fosterson Fic Rec Masterlist: Oneshots

The Main Reclist has been split to fix the links that tumblr decided to break if there were too many of them in a single post. I’ll be keeping the main reclist updated (even if the links appear broken) as well as maintaining this list and the list for multichapters.

I need help expanding this list! If you have any favorites or fics of your own of your own you don’t see included in this list and you’d like to submit for consideration, please drop me a line.

List updated April 2020. New additions marked with **

Updated during this wild quarantined time, which should serve as a reminder to everyone to APPRECIATE YOUR CONTENT CREATORS! Leave all the comments and kudos to show our love for everything they do. Big thanks to everyone who recommended and/or created content for this amazing ship.

Rated G/K-K+

**Promise by igi_pigi: Thor visits Jane to say goodbye before he leaves for Asgard. Rec: Bittersweet but lovely post-AOU, semi AU pre-Ragnarok. | 1.1k

**Spooky Nights by igi_pigi: "So what is it about?" Thor asks. "Or are we to go in uninformed?"Jane's eyes instinctively flick towards the blank tv screen. Darcy was insistent about it being a horror movie this time - as they serve as "perfect romance fodder", according to the maniac. Jane has decided to go with the recent one, 'The Conjuring'. [Set a few months after Thor2] Rec: Just sweet, dumb, wonderful fluff. Not an ounce of angst to be found. Also Thor learning about Earth is always sweeeeet. | 3.2k

**Stars and Solitude by igi_pigi: It's Jane's first night in Thor's home, however unusual the circumstances. He wishes to show her somewhere. She thinks it's his room. [Set during Thor2] Rec: A nice lil add on, Thor inviting Jane further into his life. | 3.3k

**Can’t Go Back the Same Way You Came by gumbridge: Loki lets go. This is what happens after. (post-film; basically a fixit fic.) Rec: This is pretty Loki-centric, but Jane is fabulously written, the family unit that Loki gets inducted into makes me very happy, and the fosterson is understated but so important and wonderful. | 20k

**spring will come by LadyCharity: As if grieving over the death of her husband wasn't hard enough, Jane has to deal with Thor's angry, bitter, emotionally shot little brother. Rec: This is literally all pain but god it is so good. You can feel the love binding Jane and Loki and Thor and it is so, so well written. Holy shit. | Content Warning: Major Character Death | 12k

the universe in your hand by amonkeysue: For the free day of Fosterson Week 2019, Thor's finally taking the right chance to propose to Jane. Rec: an adorable little bite-sized proposal fic. | <1k

Who Lives, Who Dies by MissChrisDaae: When the dust settles, who is left? Rec: Post-Infinity War, semi-kidfic. Pretty cute, and brings Jane into the story like she should’ve been. | 1.2k

Morning by MissChrisDaae: Thor and Jane's morning is interrupted by their kids. Rec: Fluffy fluffy FLUFFY Jane and Thor with a whole gaggle of children. | <1k

Trending by MissChrisDaae: Jane and Darcy's work session gets a little derailed. Rec: For the Social Media day of Fosterson Week, a fluffy and silly bit, and feeds into the 2012 Avengers Fic nostalgia. | <1k

ever on and on by often_adamanta: Darcy has to correct three separate people at the reception about their relationship, not younger cousin or sister, but college professor and boss and finally best friend. Jane thinks about their surprise, the second glances they give her, and wonders. Rec: Jane deals with the implications of immortality. Her friendship with Darcy is so potent and real in this. | 3k

Before the Thunder Shook Us by niobium: #6, “Is there a reason you’re naked in my bed?” #14, “Hey, I’m with you, okay? Always.” Rec: This is such a wonderful canon-insertion/canon divergence. Just enough fluff and bittersweetness to seem real. | 1k

Private Jokes by MissChrisDaae: Before his return to Asgard, Thor and Jane have a talk. Two years later, Thor misses a chance and Jane has to carry on. Rec: An AOU coda and a Ragnarok fix-it all in one. Feisty Jane and apologetic Thor. My bbs. | 1k

On the Physics of Magical Space Hammers by shinyopals: ‘So what does it mean to be “Worthy”?’ Jane asked. Jane doesn't mind sharing her life with Mjolnir. She just wishes she understood it a bit better. Rec: We’ve all wondered about Mjolnir and worthiness. Jane finally takes the initiative to find out with amazing results. | 4k

Fives Times Jane and Thor Broke Up and One Time They Didn’t by shinyopals: I didn’t know you were in the country, Jane,’ said Jane's grandmother. ‘Of course, nobody tells me anything.’ ‘It’s just a very last minute thing,’ said Jane, which Thor knew to be a lie. ‘I only arrived yesterday-’ another lie, ‘and I’m just on the way to work and thought I’d stop by and see Mom.’ This too was not true. ‘This is my friend Thor,’ she added, almost casually. ‘He’s been helping me with some work so we’re driving into the university together.’ This seemed the most flagrant of all the lies, but Thor decided not to let it show. It's not always convenient to be a relationship, so sometimes Jane and Thor have to make sacrifices. Rec: A giant SUCK ON THIS FEIGE that takes the “Jane and Thor break up” concept to the best possible places. | 12k

Hours Long and Short by shinyopals: The first night, Thor does not sleep. (Written for a post-TDW prompt for Fosterson Week 2017.) Rec: A really wonderful slice of life fic post-TDW. Deals with their trauma so wonderfully, and includes some lovely soft moments. | 4k

#7Days7Hobbies by shinyopals: Thor wants to try out some of Midgard's finest hobbies and turns to Twitter for suggestions. Jane isn't really sure how this is now her life. (Prompt for Day 4: Domestic, for Fosterson Week 2017.) Rec: One of my favorite things that’s ever been submitted for Fosterson Week. I love reading about Thor fully embracing Earth customs, particularly social media, which opal KNOWS is one of my weaknesses. | 5k

A Question of Honor by shinyopals: ‘Paintball?’ said Steve. ‘We could do… that…’ ‘What is that?’ asked Thor. He nuzzled into Jane’s hair. His mead-breath was giving her a headache. ‘It’s a thing- a game… thing. With paint.’ ‘Rogers, stop explaining stuff to Thor, you’re embarrassing me.’ Tony’s voice was remarkably coherent. Must have been drinking sensibly. Bastard. When it comes to deciding whether Earth or Asgard has better warriors, the stakes are high, and Jane is wishing she'd kept her big mouth shut. Rec: TEAM BUILDING EXERCISES FOR THE WIN. | 8k

The Gift Horse by fartherfaster: Sam and Darcy are formally introduced for the first time. Sam says “formally” with some flexibility. And a couch. A couch and a great deal of flexibility. Nevermind, he’s said enough. They met, is what he’s trying to say. Or, Sam's early days with the whole gang. Rec: Mostly a teamfic from Sam Wilson’s POV, which is awesome because how often do you see that. Fosterson is mostly background, but it made me smile so much. | 3k

on the verge of understanding something extraordinary by dirgewithoutmusic: “Jane, you’re an astrophysicist, not a storm chaser,” said Erik Selvig, and he was wrong. She was just an astrophysicist too. (A Jane Foster character study) Rec: I’m relatively certain I read this before and loved it, only it somehow didn’t make the reclist. An amazing, touching, wonderful, stunning portrait of Jane Foster. | 9k

starlight in her eyes by jdphoenix: “You,” she says, voice strong with accusation. “You’re the one who attacked me!” Thor really must laugh at that. “You are the one who attacked me. Or is it considered polite among stars to crash into one another?” Rec: A really awesome take on a Stardust fusion AU. Full of inquisitive Jane and cocky Thor. It gave me really hard vibes from the first Thor film. | 1.2k

a true lady of Asgard by jdphoenix: It's not uncommon for Jane to fall asleep working when she's chasing a new theory or hunting down evidence but the middle of a battle for the future of Asgard is not the time. Rec: Jane becoming a fixture of sorts in Asgard is one of my kinks. Also Jane being friends with Thor’s friends and the people of Asgard. Kink. | 3.5k

Afterwit by RC_McLachlan: Good with patients, bad with relationships. That's what she told Thor before she ripped the name tag from the shirt in his hands and crumbled it in her palm, relishing the way the sticky back clung to her skin before she threw it in the waste bin. She'd never been so right in her life up to that point—the rightest she's ever been was when she decided to offer the crazy blond guy a ride to his mysterious non-satellite in the desert. Or, the one in which Jane and Thor run into Donald Blake. Rec: I am such a sucker for the “running into the shitty ex with the New and Improved Partner” trope and this is that. All of that to such a wonderful degree. | 2.7k

drabbles by freshexes: Rec: Some really fantastic little bits of prose. Great voices of Thor and Jane. Some fluffies, some angst. | 1k

The Good Times are Killing Me by alwaysaprilia: Rec: Modern royals AU. Jane and Thor are perfect in this. The dialogue is sublime, and the interactions made me squee really hardcore. I only wish there was more. | 3.6k

College AU by anthropologicalhands: Rec: It’s kinda more meta/heacanon, but it’s really adorable. | 1k

all’s fair (in love and war) by sweetwatersong: This is what you fight for. This is what you yearn to feel: this moment, this passing of every second, this rush of life and the indomitable strength of the present. Thor is a warrior, born and bred, and he is glad of any battle - and yet, as with all things, even this can change. Rec: A Thor introspect and a really well done second person perspective. | 1k

Five Times Thor Gets His Shirt Off FOR GREAT JUSTICE And One Time He Doesn’t by shinyopals: Sometimes Thor’s armour is more useful when not being worn by him. He definitely doesn’t end up in these situations on purpose. Rec: Please bury me in every single five times fic shinyopals has written. This one might be my absolute favorite. So many fantastic interactions for Thor, not just with Fosterson (which is BEYOND perfect), but the whole team. Plus: naked Thor fighting bad guys in an apron. Also the SamSteve is so strong and I’m in love. | 9.8k

A Discussion of Hypotheticals by shinyopals: Jane and Thor talk about their future. Hypothetically. Rec: I am so glad we’ve made Fosterson Week a thing because this fic is WONDERFUL. Great communication makes me weak, and also so many squee-worthy moments. | 5k

Jane Foster Versus the Internet. Or: Five Times Jane Allegedly Dated An Avenger And One Time She Apparently Did Not by shinyopals: Jane discovers that the internet is The Worst. Rec: It’s the thing I loved so much I made graphics for it because it’s so good. Jane’s interactions with all the Avengers are delightful, not to mention her steady relationship with Thor that is so grounded and real. It’s also freaking hilarious. | 10.4k

Untitled by polyamoryavengers: Rec: Angst and fluff and Jane comforting Thor. *cartwheels into the sun* | 1k

Sexiest ‘Something’ Alive by Niobium: Tony is bound and determined to make sure a human is awarded the title of Sexiest Man Alive (he even has a solid candidate in mind); Jane just wants media outlets to get their science right. Rec: This is absolutely fantastic. Just the right kind of blend of humor, sweetness, and meta criticism ever. | 7.5k

The Hours Filled by websandwhiskers: Ritual and comradery are basic human needs. Rec: Focus on Jane, not a ton of Thor, but pregnant Jane is always a delight. | 1.7k

First Dates? by hariboo: Jane’s not really sure what her and Thor’s first date is? The party or the barbecue? In end does it matter? Rec: I am not a big fan of high school AUs, but if they float your boat, this is definitely worthwhile. | 1.4k | Part of Let’s Be Young Forever series

Of Car Crashes and Coffee by hariboo: “you bumped my car and I’m so piss- oh wow no you’re hot let’s go for a coffee” au prompt. Exactly what it says on the tin. Rec: This made me giggle. Super duper cute. | 1.3k

Tactile Perception by RC_McLachlan: “The day I met you, I knew you would see me.” Her hands find his face, sliding over his jaw, his cheeks, and she brings their foreheads together. “The day I met you, I hit you with my car. Twice.” Rec: *dies quietly* Teasing and cute story telling and just so many good things. | 2k

Clarke’s Third Law by shinyopals: “Of all the people to knock down the stairs, she would pick the practically-seven-foot-tall son of the Minister for Magic who just happens to be the Gryffindor Quidditch Captain.” Jane’s just trying to read every single book in the Hogwarts library in between classes, and she’s not quite sure how Thor happened to her. Rec: I never read Harry Potter but damn it this makes me want to. I just love this. So much. I don’t know how but it happened. I actually really wish there was more? | 3.8k

The Most Daring Prophecies–Dr Jane Foster at TED Talk by Rozilla: A transcript of Jane giving a TED Talk on her experiences of crossing the cosmos, Asgard and her hopes for the future of interstellar travel - as reported on WHIH.

So would you like to explain your post apocalypse metal gear AU? I would like to know about it 🥺🥺

I actually have a fic up on ao3 with the beginnings of it! It's called black sun on the horizon (named after the song that inspired it) but I'd be happy to do a quick summary :]

So a long time ago an eldritch being called the Boss made a child from collective thought and stardust and sent him to Earth to get stronger! Unfortunately people called the Philosphers had been freaking out bc they didn't know what the Boss was or why she was so close, and thought that BB was dangerous so they sealed him away!

And then the Philoaphers turned into the Patriots over the years but still kept the same practice, "protecting" the Earth and sealing away three more beings that were sent to Earth (aka, the twins + George) and started exploiting them for energy for the rich and powerful

Then the apocalypse happened bc humans kinda destroyed themselves ;/

8 years after that event, some stupid idiot gayboys started letting things they probably shouldn't out of rocks

There are 4 main story areas:

otacon + snake + Chris escaping the Patriots in the States

Ocelot collecting a Posse of Freaks and heading down to Florida to free a dude trapped under a waffle house

BB + Kaz (+ more folks later) traveling around Europe

And Raiden and Sam on the way to murder a former senator who uses his remaibing political power + resources to exploit those around him

Thanks for asking! I love talking about my AUs :]

   ↳ Word Count: 9.8k

   ↳ Warnings: loss of virginity, oral (f), unprotected sex, angst and politics, mentions of death, Namjoon is a bad guy sorry bb I love you

  ❝Kim Seokjin wasn’t just the man you were engaged to marry in order to bring wealth and protection to your home country, he was also the little boy that never failed to bring you a flower from the royal gardens. Marrying Seokjin was the greatest service you could do for your country, and it just so happened to be your dream come true.❞   

| Next

    Indigo velvet drapery and silver wings decorate the ballroom you walk into and you marvel at the sheer size of the party. You should be used to this, you’ve been attending grand balls since you were a child, but the Kim’s have truly outdone themselves this time.

    You had always liked balls; it was about the only time your family left your small kingdom called Jonglyu. You loved your home, and, in your opinion, it was the most beautiful amongst the island kingdoms, but the balls and the ceremonies you attended gave you the chance to see the other royals.

    You had grown up with the princesses and princes of the island and you didn’t get the opportunity to see them as frequently as you would like. Your older brother did not share the same sentiment. Quiet in nature, he hated that his royal duties involved socializing with the other kingdoms.

    Friendship ensured peace, your father had taught you that, though it came naturally to you. However, you couldn’t ignore the fact that part of the reason it came so easily to you was because no one saw you as a threat as you were not in line for a throne. No, you had known for many years that you were to marry one of the boys you had gotten used to seeing at these events.

    Prince Taehyung had been the first one to tease you about. Ever the flirt, the youngest Kim boy had no qualms bringing the topic up as you all reached your teenage years. He had zeroed in on you because he knew it would get a rise out of your brother, which it had, but he did not expect for his own brother to try and get a rise out of him.

    Despite his teasing, you felt bad for Taehyung when Prince Namjoon remarked that the youngest would never marry you, since he had no claim to a throne. Taehyung had shrugged, though he had left the room shortly after.

    Prince Jimin had followed him, always friends with the Kim boy the same age as him. Though, you at the time had thought it a bad idea. Jimin couldn’t understand what Taehyung felt, he was the heir to his throne. The only child of the Parks, he would one day rule Aleumdaum.

    When the two boys rejoined the group in the sitting room of the Kim’s castle, you tried not to look too closely at Jimin. Everyone seemed to have grown into themselves since the last time you had seen them, but for the first time you believed the rumors that the Parks were crafted from stardust. It wasn’t that he hadn’t always been handsome, he was often teased as a child because his Queen mother never allowed him to do anything that might be unbecoming or rustle a hair on his head. No, he always looked like the prince of the stars, but now he seemed to glow.

   The oldest Jeon, Daeseong had led the conversation while his brother sat silently beside him. The younger, Jungkook, had always followed his older brother like a shadow, drawing comparisons to yourself as perhaps the only youngest siblings that actually liked their older brother. The older royals had always complained that they could never do anything without you or Jungkook tagging along. They were right, but you never saw why that was a problem. As such, you had often found yourself pushed towards Jungkook while the older siblings went off to do whatever it was future kings did.

    You never minded, the Jeon spare was quiet but kind, a bit like your brother, and the more often the two of you were forced to keep each other company, the more he opened up.

    Prince Yoongi was the other spare, though he didn’t tag along after his older brother the way you and Jungkook did. Prince Sunghyun and Yoongi never seemed close, though you doubted that such was possible in their kingdom. Gyohwalhan was known for its secrets, ambition, and cunning. Things you imagine their father had instilled in them from a young age. You were sure it was hard to be close to anyone when you were raised to look over your shoulder lest someone try and stab you in the back. You always liked Yoongi though, he was the oldest of the spares and he made sure the older kids were nice to you and Jungkook, in his own silent way.

    You think about that day and how Sunghyun had looked at Yoongi when the topic of thrones had come up. You try not to think about the fact that Sunghyun isn’t at the ball today. That he will never be at another ball. Yoongi isn’t here today either. He and his kingdom are mourning. The other kingdoms are saying he might have murdered his brother. You think back to that day, but you know it can’t be true. Yoongi wouldn’t do that, he never talked about the throne.

    He and Prince Hoseok always seemed resigned to their positions much like Taehyung. Hoseok was the only heir that didn’t seem at all interested in talking about what he would do as king. He looked at his older sister the way Jungkook looked at his brother. If anyone was going to talk about the future of Nolyeog it was her not Hoseok. You always admired Hani; she was made to be a queen. You wanted to be like her when you grew up. You had roared with laughter when she told the eldest Jeon that she wouldn’t marry him if he was the last royal in the world. Later that night you had seen the two sneak off together. You wondered which version of Hani you had seen was the truth.

    Prince Namjoon sits in the corner of the ballroom, wine glass in hand. You have no doubt that Yoongi would never kill his brother for the throne, though the same could not be said of Namjoon. Everyone had known since he was a child that he felt he should be king. Despite being the spare, he always competed with his older brother. On the eve of his sixteenth birthday, his father had named Namjoon the head of their military. It was a surprising move, the prince was so young, but he had proved himself in the years since. He was born to lead, perhaps he was right he should be king, and your father had told you that the king wanted to keep Namjoon at a distance from the throne. The Kim King had promised his middle son his own land to rule if he could acquire it on the continent for their kingdom. He had been trying ever since.

    It was the oldest Kim that today’s ball was in honor of. Prince Seokjin, heir to the Kim Throne and eldest of the royals. You had always been captivated by him, he was the kindest of the Kim boys, and after that conversation where Taehyung had brought up your future as a bride, you had always hoped it would be Seokjin. You let yourself believe that he hoped the same when he brought you a flower from the royal gardens.

    He had apologized that it wasn’t as lovely as the roses your kingdom was known for, but he hoped that you liked it all the same. You could only thank him as hope spread throughout your body. It became more frequent, the prince bringing you a flower from the garden whenever you visited Jihye. You learned that the gardens were his favorite part of the palace. He would often spend hours just walking through them, at times to the detriment of his royal training. He confided in you that he didn’t care much for the throne. That was why he escaped to the garden so much.

    The winter ball was to celebrate the prince’s birthday, his 25th and with every passing day he more and more became the face of the kingdom. He was fit to be a king now, though you knew his father would not abdicate anytime soon. You were certain the Kim King would only give up his throne once he died, only because he couldn’t find a way to rule beyond the grave.

    But Jihye loved their heir and they believed themselves to have a bright future with him as the face of it. He was their hope. Seokjin may not care about being the king, but he cared about his people. You and he had that in common. As you walked through the gardens together, you would dream of how you would make your kingdoms better. You never spoke it aloud, but you often thought of working to create those dreams together, side-by-side.

    A noble woman of Jihye, touches your arm, offering you a warm smile, before continuing on her way through the ballroom. It’s a reminder that today you too are the face of Jihye’s future. The marriage had been arranged three months ago, but this was the first time the two of you had been in the same kingdom since then. This was not just the heir’s appearance on his birthday, but the first time the kingdom of Jihye and the other island royals saw you as the future queen of Jihye.

    Hani had tackled you in a hug the moment you had walked into the ballroom. Namjoon muttered something about decorum, as the Jung princess grabbed your hand and walked you to the table where you friends were sitting. The reactions varied, though many said they knew it was going to end up this way. The smallest kingdom allying itself with the largest. Daeseong remarked that his kingdom was larger in size, but Namjoon quickly said that Jihye had more people. Both were true.

    You were excited to see your friends, but you couldn’t help but search the room for Seokjin. He had been busy since your family arrived, and as you looked around the ballroom it seemed he still wasn’t here.

    “Grand entrance,” Taehyung said casually as he handed you a bread roll from the middle of the table. You refused the food to which he shrugged. “The king wants his son to make a statement, so he’s arriving late so everyone else will be here to stand.”

    You nod your head at this, not unfamiliar with the Kim King’s desire to appear as the most powerful of the kingdoms. Known for its wisdom, Jihye had grown considerably in your lifetime. The king was great at strategy and he had positioned himself at the top by doing so. Your father never cared about such things. Seokjin didn’t either. It was all an illusion he had said.

    You try not to think about Seokjin and instead turn back to the table of royals.

    “Where’s your brother, princess?” Jimin asked.

    “With my father, talking to some nobles about the alliance,” you shrug. “He’s been working closely with father since the marriage was announced.”

    “You’d think Wonjae was getting married too,” Daeseong laughed, earning a glare from Hani.

    “He’s acting like a king, something you could learn a thing or two about Jeon.”

    “That’s Prince Jeon, to you Princess Jung.”

    She snorts at this, before turning to you. “Mother told us about the speech he gave, I thought it was sweet.”

    You smile at this, because she is right. Your brother had presented the marriage to the kingdom, and your usually stoic brother had actually teared up as he described the future you would create as queen of Jihye. The people had started to cry too, and over the next few weeks you had been stopped be many who said they would miss seeing you helping the community. You had felt both a mix of pride and sorrow at the compliments, something you think the citizens felt as well. You brother had assured the people that this marriage was about doing what was best for the kingdom, and you knew that was the truth. Jihye had considerably more money and resources than your kingdom, and they had promised to help as part of the marriage alliance. It would be perhaps the greatest act of kindness you would do for your kingdom.

    You knew that you were lucky to also be in love with the man that would help your people.

    Most the royals had made their way to their seats by the time, Prince Seokjin’s arrival was announced. You stood quickly with the rest of your table, though you noted that Prince Namjoon waited a few beats before standing.

    You couldn't fight the smile that broke across your face as he entered the room. Seokjin was beautiful, he always had been, and no matter how many times you saw him, you still marveled at the way his eyes shined. It was as if the gods had taken their time to craft his features, and yet they had still taken the time to give him a beautiful heart. You often wondered what you had done to deserve such a man. You think you might have been a saint in a past life to be rewarded so well in this one.

    He smiles warmly at his guests, making a motion like he wanted everyone to sit, but the room remained standing. Seokjin was a kind man, and even the other royals respected him. Your father certainly did, and even you brother admitted that this was the best possible match for you. No matter what qualms the kingdoms had with Jihye, none of the royals had a problem with Seokjin. The same could not be said for his two brothers.

   Better the flower, was a common saying around the kingdoms. No one ever said the full saying, and for a while you hadn't realized it was about the Kim princes. That was until you and Seokjin had decided to go to the library after your walk in the gardens one day. You had been a little upset to find Namjoon already there, his nose in a book, but Seokjin hadn't seemed bothered at all. He told you to wait with his brother while he went looking for the book he had mentioned on your walk.

   You hesitated before sitting across from the middle Kim, but he never even looked up at you. Not sure how else to keep yourself occupied, you looked over the stack of books and papers that sat before him. It was on the cover of his notebook that you first saw the full phrase.

    Better the flower be the heir than the dog in the castle or the snake in the gardens.

    "What does it mean?" you asked, Namjoon finally looked up at you as if he had no idea you had entered the library.

    "What does what mean, princess? I'm not a mind-reader."

    "The quote, on your book. I've heard people say part of it, but never the full thing."

    Namjoon's eyes flicked down at this, and for a moment you thought that he looked sad, but it was gone before you could confirm any emotional depth. When he looked back up at you he was the same stoic prince he had always been.

    "It means that the whole of the island thanks the gods that my brother, your friend, was born first," he nods towards the stacks where Seokjin has disappeared. "For if it had been me or Taehyung, apparently the world would descend into flames or something equally as horrible."

    You frown at this. "That's not very nice."

    "No," he starts, his face unchanging. "but you are naive to think that anyone is nice in the kingdoms."

    "My father is a good man," you defend.

    "And look at where it has gotten him," Namjoon shrugs. "He's lucky Wonjae isn't an idiot, and you are naive. Wonjae won't fall for the same tricks he has and you pose absolutely no threat to any royal family. You will marry well and Wonjae will spend his life maintaining that alliance."

    You had been offended at the time, the only thing that stopped you from expressing such was Seokjin returning to the middle of the room with the book he had gone looking for. Now you had to admit that Namjoon was right. Wonjae was responsible for maintaining the relationship between Jihye and Jonglyu since the engagement had been announced and you could see the way the Kim king looked at you. Seokjin never let you spend much time in the presence of his father, but whenever you were forced into the king's presence, you could tell that he saw you as an opportunity. You were not a threat, Namjoon was right about that, but the king though you moldable. He was wrong about that.

    Regardless, Seokjin would never let that happen, and as he excused himself from his father's presence and began walking towards your table, you felt your heart flutter in your chest. You wondered if such a feeling would stay with you forever. You doubted that you would ever grow tired of the sight of him. You knew that the type of love you had was the thing of fairytales, as if mother luck herself had smiled down on you.

   "Thanks for finally gracing us with your presence," Prince Hoseok said as Seokjin arrived at the table. Laughter filled the ballroom at this and Princess Hani apologized to the surrounding royals that sent judgmental stares in the table's direction. You quickly looked away from Seokjin to the king to confirm that his father was one of the royals upset with the interaction. You didn't look for too long, not wanting to draw his attention to you, and when you turned you attention to the table again, you saw that Prince Namjoon had done the same. You shared a brief glance, before returning to the conversation and you wondered what he thought of all this.

   You figured he probably sided with his father on this matter and had only looked to show his own distaste with the whole affair.

   "I'm sorry, Hoseok, I didn't realize my birthday was so important to you," Seokjin smiled as he took the last seat at the table. "I'll be sure to schedule in some time together next time."

   "Just you and me?" Hoseok batted his eyelashes. "Promise?"

   "Never mind, you made it weird."

    Hoseok laughed at this before turning towards you. "At least the Princess should get a moment next time."

   Seokjin nodded. "Next time we'll be married," he smiled. "I think she'll be happy to be free of me for a few moments," he winked.

   "Impossible," you said, as you shook your head, earning a faux gag from Taehyung.

   "Please, be in love somewhere else," he said. "I'm not nearly drunk enough to stomach this yet."

   "I don't think any of us are," Namjoon agreed before tipping his champagne glass back and finishing his drink.

   "This time next year, we'll get to see how Namjoon and Taehyung have adjusted to having the love birds live with them," Jimin said. "I can't wait to see who has been driven to alcoholism with that mentality."

    "Who wants to place bets?" Daeseong started. "Brother, who'd you think it'll be. My money's on Taehyung."

    Jungkook smiled, as he looked between the two Kim brothers. "Prince Namjoon will be gone most of next year anyways, so I think it'll have to be Taehyung."

    Taehyung rolled his eyes at Jungkook, as you turned to Namjoon.

    "You'll be gone?" you asked. You were honestly a little relieved to hear that. Sharing the castle with the middle Kim was not on the list of things you were excited about when it came to marrying Seokjin. You could handle the youngest Kim, he was fun and nice when he wasn't drinking, but the middle Kim worried you. You didn't trust him and you were not looking forward to living in the same place as him.

    Namjoon nodded his head. "We've got a stronghold on the continent, so I'll be making sure we don't lose the gains we've made."

    Seokjin shook his head at this. "Let's not talk business tonight-"

    "You never want to talk business," Namjoon interrupted.

    "it's my birthday, we should be celebrating. Politics are not allowed at my party."

    At his wish, the politics did stop for the night, though occasionally you did see Prince Namjoon and Prince Jimin having an intense looking conversation that you had no doubt was related to the continent, but you figured as long as they didn't involve Seokjin he wouldn't mind.

    Now, the prince and you had made your way to the dance floor, and though you could feel the room watching the two of you, you didn't mind.

   Your lady's maid, Jiah had ordered you a dress that matched the same deep blue Seokjin wore to symbolize his kingdom, and not only had the prince whispered to you how beautiful you looked you knew that this pleased the king and the nobles of Jihye. Despite Seokjin's wishes, the very dress on your body was a political act.

   It was a pledge of allegiance to the Kim kingdom, something you were more than happy to do. Jiah had made sure that the dress contained a bit of your own kingdom as well though, having jewel roses added to the tulle across your shoulders. A reminder that you would always keep Jonglyu in your heart. Though you would never say such a thing, your people would always remain your highest priority.

    "I think I might be the luckiest man alive," Seokjin said, pulling back to look at you while you danced.

    "Oh," you hum, breaking into a wide smile.

    "Of course," he smiles back. "I am very much in love with the woman I will marry soon, all of my friends are here for my birthday, and not to even mention the gods blessed me with this handsome face."

    You giggle at his antics, your head leaning against his chest for a moment before you pull away to look at him again. "Not to mention you're the future king of Jihye."

    "They could tell me I wasn't the king tomorrow, and I would still be the luckiest man alive because I'd have you."

    You kiss him at this, not even caring that all of the kingdoms are here to watch you. Seokjin makes you so happy, and it's moments like this that feel too good to be true. For a moment you think that when you pull away from his plump limps, a stranger will stand in his place, and the hand gripping your waist will feel foreign, but your irrational fear is disproven as your eyes open to see his looking back at you.

   Seokjin is yours, to have and to hold. He may be the luckiest man, but you were the luckiest person in the whole world.

     It had been a few months since the ball when you returned to Jihye. Though you would be returning to your own country in a week, your mother still cried when she watched you leave the castle. This was just a visit to prepare for the wedding, not a permanent stay, but it still felt like your current life was ending. You supposed that it would be soon.

    Seokjin was waiting for your carriage when you arrived, and you didn't fight the urge to run into his arms when you saw him. He held you tightly as you laughed from the utter happiness upon seeing him. He pulled back just enough to grab your attention and then kissed you. You couldn't help but smile against his lips, as you realized he was as happy to see you as you were to see him.

    When he pulled away, the prince was breathless and a lopsided smile adorned his face.

    "Hello," you breathed to which he laughed.

    "Hello, my love," he moved to the side so that you could walk into the castle, reaching for your hand before you could cross the threshold. "I must admit," he started, leading you down the hallway you knew led to the guest quarters where you normally stayed. "I'm happy my fathers obsession with perfection means we have to practice for the wedding because that means I get to see you again."

    You hum in agreement. "It was a fun surprise."

     "Soon, we won't have to wait months to see each other," he said. "I'll get to see you every day." Jin turns as you reach the stairs you normally take and heads further down the hallway.

     "I thought you were taking me to my room?"

     "I am," he says simply, though the smile on his face betrays whatever he was up to.

     "Well, my room is upstairs."

     Jin shakes his head. "I never trust stairs," he turns to look at you. "They're always up to something," he laughs at this, pulling your hand closer to him to encourage you to do the same, and you join him after a slight eye-roll.

    "Did you not take me to my room, just so you could make that joke?"

    "No, I promise," he smiles. "You're not staying upstairs this time. I asked them to keep you on the first floor." Seokjin stops outside of a room a few moments later and gestures towards it. "They prepared this one for you."

    You look inside the room, it's painted a light blue and has a large window the looks out at the gardens. It's not much different from the room you have stayed in before, so you turn to look at Seokjin for an explanation.

    "Just because of the stairs?" you ask with an eyebrow raise.

    "Well it is true you cannot trust stairs, and you shouldn't," he smiles, reaching out to grab your hand. "You also wouldn't have such a great neighbor if you stayed up stairs."

    "Oh, does Taehyung live near this room?" you ask, fighting back a smile as Jin frowns at you.

    "Mean," he pouts pulling you closer to him, "but also yes, he lives on this hall too."

     You laugh as you bring a hand up to caress Seokjin's cheek. He nuzzles into the touch, before reaching up for that hand and placing a kiss to the back of it.

    "I didn't want you to be so far away," Seokjin said as he dropped your hand.

    "I'm glad," you reply. "I never want to be further away from you than this," you admit, and you truly mean it. You know it sounds clingy and needy, but as much as you would miss your family, you were sad that you would leave again at the end of the week. You never wanted to be apart from him.

    "Good, because I don't want you to be."

    Jiah dressed you in blue again that night, winking when she revealed that all of the dresses she had chosen for you were in the this kingdom's color. Your lady's maid was much better at playing the political game than you were, because you never would have thought to do this.

    You fit into the setting as you joined the Kim family for dinner that night. Seokjin didn't even try to fight the large smile on his face, taking your hand as you joined the family at the table. You and his mother had come in last, as was custom in his kingdom. Your father never bothered with such things, but you couldn't give the king any reason to doubt this union. So you entered after the men, no matter how strange it seemed to you.

    The dinner was rather uneventful, the Kim's ate mostly in silence. Taehyung leaned back in his chair, one hand pushing his food around his plate, he rested his chin in the other, and occasionally when his long blonde hair fell into his eyes he blew it out of the way, something his mother kept shooting him looks about. Namjoon had brought a book with him to the table, half-eating, half-reading. You hadn't seen the title, but after a few illustrated maps, you were pretty sure he was reading about the continent. Seokjin and his mother talked briefly about the plans for the wedding, and you jumped in when coaxed, but it was clearly not a conversation meant for you. The queen wanted to talk to her son.

    The king surprised you the most, he was silent the whole meal. He always talked so much when you had to meet with him, but he continued to look over paperwork at dinner. Occasionally he passed a paper over to Namjoon, who silently took it to read over himself, before pushing it back.

   He never passed anything to Seokjin. The prince looked relieved whenever it went towards his brother instead.

   When everyone had finished eating, the king quickly excused the room, and the family went their separate ways. Taehyung practically ran towards the front of the castle, a couple of maids shouting as he disappeared from view. Seokjin shook his head at this as he took your hand in his. Namjoon walked ahead of the two of you, his nose still in the book, occasionally he looked up to ensure he was not about to walk into anything. He veered into the library as you anticipated.

   Seokjin and you walked silently towards the gardens, and once you had made it far from the castle, you could see Seokjin physically relax.

   "As you can see, my family is a delight to eat with," he grinned as he swung your arm lightly.

   "It was different than my family dinners," you admit, smiling up at him. "I don't mind as long as you're there."

    He made a dramatic noise at this, his smile widening. "You might regret saying that."

    "Very well, I might, but I doubt it."

    Seokjin spun you into him as he stopped walking, and kissed you softly. You arms drew up around his neck pulling him closer into you. It all felt so good, like your heart was dancing inside of your chest, and when he pulled back, you resisted the urge to pull him back towards you in desire. Your arms dropped back down to your sides.

    "I think we can make this place happy," he said, as he continued walking. "I can't promise you when, but I know one day me and you will make that castle a nice place to be. I don't think we have any other choice."

    "We'll start with each other and then work our way out from there."

     "Sounds like a good plan," he said, pulling you towards a bench in the middle of the garden. You sat together, his arm slung across your shoulders, his thumb drawing circles on your exposed shoulder, and you looked up at the stars. The coolness of the spring air washed over the two of you, and after a few moments of silence you found your body leaning further into his until your head was resting on his shoulder. Your eyes flickered up towards him just in time to see him flash a small smile as he looked straight ahead.

    As if sensing your gaze, Seokjin looked down at you, quirking an eyebrow as his eyes met yours.

    "See something you like?" he teased.

    "No," you said, unable to fight the smile that broke across your face.

    "No?" Jin asked, his eyes widening.

    "Yeah," you said as you reached for his right hand. "it would appear that I see something I love." You look at his right hand in your own, unable to look up at him as you admit this. You know he knows that you love him, but you do not say it very often. Sometimes you think that if you say it then the Kims will appear and everyone will tell you that this was all a joke. That it was in fact too good to be true.

    "That was not a very nice trick," he said and you can hear his pouting. "but I'm glad that you love me. I love you too; can't say it enough."

    "I know," you say, as you look back up at him. "sometimes I can't believe it though."

    "Then I should tell you more."

    You giggle at this, you fingers intertwining with his. "I wouldn't mind that."

     Jin smiled, taking your intertwined hands up to his mouth and pressing a kiss to the back of yours. "Come on, princess. We should get you to bed. We have a big day of wedding planning tomorrow."

    Seokjin had been right, you had done nothing since breakfast but talk about the wedding, only taking a break from your dress-fitting long enough to inhale a small lunch. The dress was beautiful, but you couldn't hide your lack of enthusiasm when the white and blue dress was shown to you. You think of the light pink your brother's bride would wear one day, and wished you could at least wear the dark green in your family's sigil.

   But as with everything you had worn in Jihye recently, you would be wearing blue on your wedding day. You understood the message, you were no longer the princess of Jonglyu. You just hadn't expected it to hurt so much. To miss a color was a strange thing.

   You had been drilled on your vows so many times over that you words didn't seem real anymore, and when you finally sat down for dinner, you were happy that the Kim's ate in silence. The scene was relatively the same, though Taehyung had not bothered to even join the family today. The butler had announced that the youngest Kim had taken leave this afternoon and would not be returning for days. After the day you had, you didn't blame him.

   Namjoon had not brought a book today, but a stack of papers that rivaled that of the King's. They spent all night sending documents back and forth. You were happy that the queen didn't try and include you in the conversation today. Seokjin took one look at you before giving you the same break.

    After dinner, Seokjin and you went out to the gardens again, a habit you could get used to. You and the future king both had a love for flowers, and in the cool air of spring, no one else was around to put on a show for. It felt like in the gardens you could finally be yourselves without worry for what eyes might be watching.

    Seokjin and you danced in the moonlight that night, joking about the hours of practice you had gone through today to ensure neither of you tripped at the wedding. As if you hadn't been trained dancers since you were children. The man that walked you and Seokjin through the dance had been the one to teach Jin when he turned thirteen. He said that the prince had not improved much since then. Seokjin was incredulous, giving you a twenty minute break as the prince and dance teacher bantered back and forth.

    You knew the teacher was just teasing Seokjin, he moved with the grace of a future king, and though you could see in his eyes that he was focused on making no mistake, there was something endearing about it. So much so that you couldn't help but kiss him, and kiss him, and kiss him, until you were no longer spinning, but clinging to each other in the still of the night.

    And then you're running through the hallways of the castle, trying to fight the giggles that are building in your chest, but failing miserably. Seokjin sends a nod of apology to the staff that you almost barrel into, and at that you two slow to a walk. You think you were probably drawing too much attention anyway. You're walking as quickly as you can without drawing attention now, Seokjin checking quickly that the hallway is empty, before leading you down it. You pass by your room, again fighting giggles as Seokjin looks back at you with a wink, and then he's quickly pulling you into his room and shutting the door quietly.

   You're starting to think that's overkill because they two of you clearly made enough noise for people to have realized what has happened. If nothing else that group of servants will know something is up.

   You would gossip if you were them.

   You know you should care. You should insist you go to your room because you will definitely get caught and the King might find out what happened. But you don't care. You don't care because you're in love with Seokjin, and you're going to be married soon, and you already know from your whispered conversation in the garden that this won't be his first time, and you think that's not fair. The king must know his son hasn't waited, so you think there's no reason for you to. You're in love now, you want to show him that now, and you want to feel him now.

    You want to get reacquainted with his body on your wedding night, like coming home to an old friend, not get to know a stranger.

     So when Seokjin, locks the door behind him, you move to join him, and soon you're entangling your bodies again, lips meeting each other in fervor. Slowly he walked you back to his bed, the two of you stumbling slightly when your knees collided with it, but Seokjin keeps you upright as best as he can.

   His lips move from your mouth to your neck slowly, pressing kisses on every expanse of skin he can along the way, and soon his hands are moving up your body to reach for the buttons of your dress. He moved unbearably slow as he pressed a single kiss your body with each button. The first a kiss to your neck, the second a kiss to your ear lobe, the third a kiss to your collarbone, each only adding to the fire in your core.

    As the silk of your dress pooled around your ankles, Seokjin's eyes met yours, and you think for a moment that he does not want this, that he does not want you, so you reach for his hand and bring it to your face. He smiles at this, pulling you into another kiss, one that has your toes curling.

    He pulls away again, fingers skimming the lace at the top of your corset before working to take that off as well. You reach down to stop him, the future king looking up at you with wide eyes.

    "You first," you smile, moving to shove his jacket off of his shoulders. He nods his head quickly, taking his jacket the rest of the way off while you get to work on his buttons. He joins you in getting the rest of the buttons, the two of you laughing at the speed with which you are working, and when he finally rids himself of the white shirt, your hands reach out to feel his chest. It's firm and warm to your touch, and you only take your eyes off of him when he hums at the contact your finger makes with his nipple.

    "Your turn, princess," he smiles, going back to your corset. You take a deep breath as he rids you of it, something that makes both of you laugh, but then he's leaning down to take your nipple in his mouth, and the humor of the situation is lost as you throw your head back in delight.

     He looks up at you, mischief in his eyes, before standing back up fully. "I want you to feel how much I love you tonight," he said, as he pushed on your shoulder, a silent command to get on the bed. You do so, looking up at him like he holds the whole world in his hands.

     "Lay down, sweetheart," he commands, removing his pants as he did so.

     You lay your head on the pillows of his bed, smiling when the scent of him fills your nose, and giggling when he joins you. He smiles at this, pressing a kiss to your check, before making his way down your body.

     "What do you know about sex?" he asks, promptly pressing a kiss to your stomach after doing so.

     "Enough," you reply, a bit embarrassed at your different levels of experience.

     "I don't want to hurt you," he says, looking up at you through his eyelashes before kissing your right hip. "but I might. I need you to be honest with me, okay?"

     "Of course," you breathe as he presses a kiss to the inside of your thigh.

     "I love you, want you to feel good," he says, pressing a kiss to your clitoris. "Does that feel good, princess?" he chuckles, clearly pleased with the moan you released at the contact.

     "Yes," you say, just barely over a whisper.

     "Good," he says, before he runs his tongue over the sensitive bud again. "You taste so sweet, jagiya. Just like you."

    You couldn't respond before his flattened his tongue over the length of your slit, a moan pushing past your lips instead. You bucked your hips at the sensation, his hands finding purchase on your hips to hold you down. His tongue worked you over, causing your to melt into him, his name the only word you could muster as he kissed your most intimate part.

    Your hands wound themselves into his hair, needing to grab onto something as he drove you towards your undoing. You had never anticipated how good it would feel to have Seokjin like this, had never dreamed of feeling closer to him than you already did, but as his greedy tongue found your clit again, sucking the bud into his mouth, you felt that this was the closest you had come to euphoria. And the more he worked at your core, the closer you came to your release, and with one devastatingly good flick of your clitoris, you were moaning his name as something inside of you snapped.

    "Gods, I love you," you breathed as Seokjin moved up the bed again and pressed a kiss to your lips.

    "I knew you only loved me for my body," he teased, though you found it hard to rebuttal as you felt his hard cock against your thigh. You couldn't help but look down at him, marveling at the size of it. You had never seen a man before, only hearing stories from Jiah and the other female servants. Royalty never spoke of such things.

    Seokjin chuckled, bringing you attention back to him, and he quirked an eyebrow. "Ready for more?"

    “Yes,” You whispered, stomach churning in anticipation, watching as reached for his cock, and pumped it slightly, before settling between your legs.

    He gathered your wetness along his length, something that looked absolutely crude yet delightful to you, and a small moan left you lips at the sight. Seokjin didn't look up at you, but the smirk that settled onto his face, confirmed that he had heard you. Your face heat up with a little embarrassment for having been turned on by such a thing.

    Finally, he began to press into your entrance, a sting settling in between your thighs, and he stopped when you sucked in a deep breath at the movement.

    “Are you okay?” He whispered.  “You promised me you would tell me if I hurt you."

    “It does a little,” you replied, keeping your promise to him. "But I want this, I want you to keep going."

    "Now, or do you want a break?"

    "Now,” you said, nodding your head but closing your eyes. He sunk further into you and you tried to relax your body to take him in, the sting growing the further he went. And then he stopped and you opened your eyes to meet his.

    "It'll get better, I'll give you a moment," he said, pressing a kiss to your forehead. He moved one hand down to find your clit, playing slowly with the bud and bringing some pleasure to the pain.

   And once the sting had subsided, you told him it was okay to move, and the breath he let out caused a giggle to tumble past your lips. He joined you in laughter, kissing your lips, before moving against you.

   "You were made for me," he grunted as he thrusted into you. "I've known it for so long, I've just been waiting for you to finally be mine."

   "I'm yours," you agreed, wrapping your arms around his neck, and pulling him down into a messy kiss.

    Soon the sound of skin against skin filled the room, and Seokjin swore above you, his eyes shut closed in what looked like pain.

    "I'm so close, my love, I need you to cum," he said, his fingers finding your clit again. "I know you can do it again, I want you to feel good."

     You moan at his words, the cord in your stomach tightening again, and you speak up to tell him that you're close. His lips find your chest at that, sucking harshly at your nipple, and with a few more circles of his finger on your clit, you tumble over the edge, screaming his name.

     You were panting, when Seokjin pulled out of you and continued to stroke himself, before his own high washed over him, and his cum spurt onto your stomach.

     He smiled lazily at you as he finally stilled beside you, and then he was off of the bed, grabbing a cloth from his bathroom, and returning to clean you up. Once he had discarded it onto the floor, he crawled up next to you, pulling you into his arms, and pressing a kiss to your lips.

    "Soon, we'll get to do that forever," he sighed, as you curled closer into his embrace. "I hope my poor heart can handle it."

    You laughed at this, looking up at him with adoration. He really was the man of your dreams and now you knew each other in all the ways there was to know a person. You knew he was right, you were made for him.

    And as you drifted to sleep in his arms, you couldn't wait for forever to begin.

    It was early in the morning a few days later when Jiah pulled you out of your bed and into the dressing room. "The king has asked for you," she explained quickly, not giving you a chance to process what was happening as she stripped you of your bed clothes and made you up like a doll. You were just waking up fully as she dragged you through the halls of the castle, the hallways unfamiliar to you.

    She stopped outside of the doors, turning towards you to straighten out your dress, and then pushed you forward. You opened the door, revealing the throne room, and bowed your head slightly at the sight of the king and his middle son. You look for Seokjin and try to still the erratic beating of your heart when you realize he is not here.

    "Princess _____, thank you for joining us promptly," the King said, as he sat on his throne. Prince Namjoon stood beside him, a letter in his hand.

    "Of course, your grace," you replied, bowing your head again, wanting to be compliant with whatever he had called you here for. You weren't meant to go home for a couple more days, you only had to survive so long.

    "Princess, do you know the terms of the agreement we made with your father upon the marriage of you and Prince Seokjin?"

    "Yes, your Grace."

    "Remind me," he smiled, a look that sent shivers down your spine.

    "In exchange for gold and select resources, Jonglyu will support Jihye's campaigns on the continent in whatever way necessary."

    Namjoon nodded at this, the first reaction you had received from him since your arrival.

    "That is correct, Princess. It's good that you were paying attention," the King shook his head. "It's just too bad your father wasn't."

    You look at Namjoon at this information, unsure what they could mean. Your father knew the rules of the contract and he would never dream of breaking them. That was not the type of man he was.

    "Tell me, Princess," the King continued. "Why is your father meeting with King Adrian as we speak?"

    Your eyes widen at this. King Adrian was one of the rulers on the continent. Your father and him had no business together as far as you knew.

    "Well?"

    "Your Grace, I do not know what you are referring to. My father is an honest man, he would never do anything to violate the contract. I've never even met King Adrian."

    "You bring up an excellent point, Princess. Your father would never violate the contract."

      You nod your head at this, relaxing slightly at the king's words. He believed you, he would have to. You were telling the truth.

     "But you see, I believe I underestimated your father. Technically, you and the prince are not married yet. Your father is free to talk politics with whoever he pleases at this point," he smiles at you, and you return it, though it still does nothing to comfort you.

     "Namjoon," the king started, "when was the last time you saw Adrian?"

     "Half a year ago," he responds, his firm gaze on you.

     "And tell me, my son, how was his eldest?"

     Namjoon doesn't reply right away, looking past you at the door. "He was healthy, your Grace."

     "Wonderful," the king smiled, making a motion for you to come closer. "Tell your father," he said as you stood before him, "that he was stupid to think he could outsmart me." His smile fell at this, his cold eyes never leaving yours as he leaned forward in his throne. "Tell your father he can whore you off to Adrian's son if he's so concerned with the continent. Tell your father to prepare for a war, because he will get exactly what he asked for."

     You look over to Namjoon, the prince still staring at the door ahead of you.

     The king leaned back, dismissing you with a flick of his wrist, but you couldn't find the strength to move as you fought back the tears in your eyes. Someone must have sent Jiah in to fetch you, because your lady's maid is pulling you out of the room before you can truly process all that has just happened.

    "We have to go," she says hurriedly, while you gasp for air beside her. The castle is a blur as you are dragged through it, and you fall back onto your bed as Jiah locks the door to your room. The tears are flowing hot and heavy from your eyes by now, you chest heaving with the sobs that escape you.

    Jiah tries to soothe you, muttering kind phrases as she grabs everything you own and throws it into your bags. You briefly register her curse about having too much to grab, before she gets onto the bed beside you and grabs your face in her hands.

    "Your highness, I know you are shocked and I know you are heartbroken, but your life is in danger the longer we stay here. The king has shown you mercy by giving you the chance to run, do not give him the chance to change his mind."

    You nod, though you still cannot fully process her words. You know she is right, but all you can think about is Seokjin. He wasn't there, you aren't sure if he had no idea what was happening or if he knew and chose not to be there. You think the latter may kill you, so you pray it's the first as you stand from the bed, and grab one of the bags Jiah hands to you.

    She curses as a knock comes from the door, and quickly tells you to go to the bathroom. You make your way there, rubbing away your tears and trying to compose yourself as you do so.

    "I'm here to help," you hear a deep voice, say and you don't have to step out of the bathroom to know that it is Prince Namjoon. Jiah curses at him again, telling him that he should be ashamed of himself, but the prince does not respond to this. You hear him push the door further open, and think for a moment that even if he is here to kill you, you won't fight him. He might as well at this point, he's taken everything else away from you.

   "Princess," he starts, hands raised in surrender as he enters the bathroom. "you need to leave."

   "We were leaving," Jiah says, pushing past him. "Make yourself useful, snake prince, and get us a carriage."

    Namjoon glares at the name she uses, before turning back to you. "I did what I could," he said. "Now I need you to do the rest, and get out of here."

    You want to ask him what he means, you want to yell at him because you know he did enough. You want to scream and demand answers, but instead you nod your head, and when he reaches out for your hand, Jiah smacks it away.

    "Carriage, your highness," she points towards the door.

    Namjoon nods his head, not putting up anymore of a fight.

    It's Jiah's hand that you take, stopping to grab the bag you had dropped at Namjoon's knock. Another knock sounds down the hall, causing Jiah to jump again, but as she peaks out the door she sighs.

    "The snake prince, is not a good listener," she laments, as she opens the door to your room wider. You watch Namjoon walk past it, turning to look at you one last time before promising Jiah that he was getting a carriage this time, and then your lady's maid is pulling you into the hallway.

    "_____?" Seokjin's voice sounds so small calling after you, and you freeze in place. Jiah sighs, dropping her bags, and grabbing yours as she turns you towards the prince. Your prince.

    "Jin," you cry as you throw yourself at him. "I'm sorry, I don't know what's happening."

    "Where are you going? Why did Namjoon wake me up?"

    "My father," you choke out through tears, tears that Seokjin keeps trying desperately to wipe away, "they said he did something, met with a king, I don't know why he would do that."

    "What are you saying, I don't understand," Seokjin said, his own eyes watering at this point.

    "I have to go," you finally say, burying your face in his neck as you hug him tightly. "I have to go."

    "Why? I don't understand." He said, clutching onto you tightly, pressing kisses into your hair, before pulling away to look at your face.

    "Your highness," Jiah speaks up, reaching out to touch your arm. "we are not safe here anymore. We have to go, now," she emphasizes the last word, grabbing your arm as she does so.

    "No, you are safe with me, I promise. I'll talk to my father."

    "Your highness," Jiah said, her voice stern. "I think if your father cared to hear your opinion, you would have been called to the meeting like Prince Namjoon."

    Seokjin curses at this, holding your face in his hands, before kissing your passionately, as if he never wanted to let you go. You kiss him back with the same desperation, perhaps more aware than he is that this is the last time you may ever see him. When he pulls away, Jiah is tugging on your arm, and force with which she does so, must shock Seokjin because he drops his hold on you. You can only look back at him as your lady's maid tells you to grab your bag again, and the two of you are running through the hallways towards the entrance.

    You think about the way you had run through these halls only a few days prior to this. The happiness of that memory stained with the utter pain and sorrow you're feeling right now. It'll never hold the same lightness it had in that time ever again.

    Seokjin is crying when he slips from your sight, and you realize you are too as the castle blurs around you. You can't wipe the tears away as Jiah clutches tightly to one of your hands, and you carry a bag in the other, so you have no choice but to let the water roll down your face and no doubt ruin the dress Jiah had put you in. You think it may be for the best anyways, you're starting to hate blue.

     Namjoon was true to his word, and is waiting outside the entrance with a carriage when you and Jiah get there. He looks at you, the same stoicism present on his face as always, when he grabs your bag and places it into the vehicle.

    "Thank you, Prince Namjoon," Jiah says, offering him a curt nod as you climbed into the carriage. "Thank you for saving my princess; I am sure it will come at a great price to you."

     You snort at her sentiment, thinking of the way he had looked stood next to his father. Namjoon's eyes meet your own at your sound of annoyance, but like always he shows no emotion.

    "Your princess is lucky to have you," Namjoon says, closing the door as Jiah joins you in the carriage. "I am sorry that you have to leave this way, _____. For what it is worth, you did well today."

    "I did well?" you asked, ready to tear into him as anger boiled within you. "I did well as a part of your chess game today, right?"

    "No," Namjoon shakes his head. "you are stronger than one might think. You are not as naive as I had once thought."

     And you want to yell at him, tell him that you do not care what opinion he holds of you, but he's slapping the side of the carriage and sending you on your way before you can do so.

    As you leave the castle, you turn around, seeing that Seokjin has finally joined his brother outside, watching you ride away, and the tears come back, now both a mix of sorrow and anger. You think about the girl who thought all of this was too good to be true, and you want to slap that version of yourself. You want to tell her to stop thinking that, to stop hesitating, because one day he would be ripped away from her.

    And when you can no longer see the Kim princes, Jiah lets you lay your head in her lap, as you cry until your heart cannot take it anymore and you fall asleep. In your dreams you think of your prince, of the king of your heart, and of the happily-ever-after you deserved.

    When you awake you are forced to accept the reality that you will never have that. There is no such thing as happily-ever-after. Prince Namjoon was right, you were naive to ever believe that.
