[radioactivecatboy]

sorry i cant come to the party. yeah im gonna be thinking about jang uk and mu-deok’s jade eggs. yeah its gonna be an all day thing. yeah im also gonna be thinking about the parallel between seo yul disguising his visits to naksu as visiting his pet bird and mu-deok referring to herself as an egg in a nest to jang uk. yeah its gonna make me lay face down on the ground and not move for twelve hours. yeah. yeah. thanks

#i cannot for the life of me articulate anything coherent about naksu being a bird to seo yul and mu-depk being an egg to jang uk #its there. its somewhere. #something about like #as naksu (bird) she was free and alive in a way she isnt as mu-deok. smth abt how as mu-deok (egg) she can only rely on jang uk #smth also about as naksu she was a fixed thing already grown into what she was meant to be #and as mu-deok she has the potential to be anything. its about. the starting over. the new kind of freedom #do you understand do you see the vision #look toward the horizon and see it with me or least pretend you do because im slowly turning into an oyster animorphs style as we speak #alchemy of souls #jellyfish txt

[autistichanseo]

This is a long one !! sorry!! here's some true brothers angst thinking (with comfort at the end) for you guys though <33 (also read the tags after reading this if you do read this maybe cos I go on another mini ramble lmao)

Thinking about maybe when Hanseo and Vincenzo live together in Malta, since all Hanseo’s ever known is getting abused (both physically and verbally) and hurt over any mistake he made no matter how small, he automatically assumes Vincenzo will do the same to him (of course he would, that's what he “deserves”, right?).

So he tests the water with Vincenzo a bit.

To see what Vincenzo’s limits were, what to avoid doing to not get hurt, what the unspoken rules were (after all Hanseok had plenty).

It starts with small things, not tidying up after himself, breaking a plate “accidentally”, leaving milk out to spoil (also “accidentally”).

But Vincenzo doesn’t hurt him.

He helps Hanseo clean up the plate he dropped, checking to see for any possible injuries. He casually tells him to remember to put his things away when they’re all over one of the rooms. He only ever lightly scolds him (it was more a reminder than anything) in a light tone to make sure to not leave out the milk out next time for too long because it’ll spoil, but it was fine, that they could just ask a maid to add milk onto the grocery list.

It both confuses and scares Hanseo.

It meant he didn’t know what would set off Vincenzo, and he couldn’t handle the anxiousness that clawed at him whenever he was around him because of it.

Plus he was apart of the literal mafia, who knew what he and his mafia family (that also lived on the island) would do to Hanseo when angered?? He had seen first hand all of the various ways he toyed with Hanseok, and couldn't forget what Vincenzo had done to him before he joined his side, so who knew what methods he'd use when angered?? He needed to find out what to avoid, and fast.

Vincenzo starts noticing and asks if somethings wrong and why he's been avoiding him, to which Hanseo was terrified (and slightly relieved) that this was when the other shoe would drop and Vincenzo would shout at him or hit him.

But that never happened.

When Hanseo told him nothing was up, that he was struggling to sleep a bit lately so because of that he's just been a quite tired recently and out of it, Vincenzo seems to buy it and offered to get him a therapist, as after all it makes sense he’d be restless after everything that happened not too long ago in Korea. He ruffles his hair and leaves and Hanseo is just left shocked.

Why was he being so patient with him?? Hanseok would’ve hurt him at so many points in this test, why didn’t Vincenzo? (“Any other person would’ve by now right?”)

Was he toying with him? Making Hanseo more and more relaxed around him so that a real punishment would sting more and Hanseo would blame himself for it?

No, he shakes off that thought immediately. His hyung wouldn’t do something like that. It had to be something else.

He needs to know when the other shoe will drop. So he escalates things. Better to know now than fuck up later and have his hopes ruined.

So he keeps “forgetting” to go to his therapy appointments. He “tripped” and broke one of Vincenzo’s prized art pieces, he refuses to move his things or clean up after himself. He goes out to drink almost every day and comes home at like 3am, sometimes blasting loud music when Vincenzo's sleeping.

Anything. Anything for the second shoe to drop.

And eventually, Vincenzo can’t take it anymore, but it didn’t go as Hanseo expected it.

Vincenzo and him get in a huge argument, Hanseo’s refusing to listen (the shoe has to drop now right?) and Vin just exasperatedly like “why are you doing this?” but he isn't shouting at him or upset, just… concerned?

What??

Why wasn’t he mad??

As Vincenzo is asking him to explain why he was being like this Hanseo can’t bottle it up anymore and just bursts out with “because you won’t hurt me!!! why wont you hurt me??? just get it over with and scream at me for screwing up or slap me or anything! just do something so I'm not always anxious around you and... scared everything’s going to- I don’t know, straight up collapse at any moment or something!! just tell me what your rules are!!”

And that's when Vincenzo realises.

Oh.

His heart sinks. Because he now knows exactly why Hanseo’s doing this.

He’s trying to figure out what Vincenzo would hurt him for.

He thinks Vincenzo is going to hurt him eventually like Hanseok did.

Oh.

It takes Vincenzo a moment to process this and it's suddenly silent and Hanseo thinks this is when the other shoe has dropped.

He’s filled with fear once again, but this time it spills over any sort of relief he could’ve gotten at finally “finding out what Vincenzo’s limits were” because Hanseo can’t read Vincenzo’s face right now. He associates that unreadability with the unreadable expression Hanseok would have on his face before hurting Hanseo.

He's bracing himself to get shouted at or hurt so he goes back into Hanseok-mode and takes a step back, starting to cave in on himself as he's about to try to apologise and take back what he just said.

Thankfully, Vincenzo realises this and immediately snaps out of his head to reassure Hanseo. "Hanseo... I'm not going to hurt you... I was never planning on ever laying a hand on you. Ever. Nor was I planning to ever shout at you."

And Hanseo is just.

Stunned.

He doesn't know what to say so he's only responds with a meek "Why?"

For Vincenzo to be like "what Hanseok did to you wasn't normal or even okay in the first place, and you'll never get any of that horrible treatment from anyone again." (Vincenzo will make sure of that).

And Hanseo's just. speechless.

He can't figure out what to say or do so he's just there, starting to tear up like "hyung..."

Because this is when Hanseo realises that for the first time in his life, he's truly, truly safe now.

Because now he has a home, and he didn't just mean the island they lived on, but Vincenzo himself. Vincenzo was home to him, and he was more of a home to him than any fancy villa Hanseo had had before could've ever been.

Yeah, he'll be okay now.

After all, no matter what happens, he has his home to go back to.

#I think a lot of people forget #hanseo and vincenzo are Very Traumatised individuals #and Will have trauma responses #a.) they're not as healthy of a brother dynamic as everyone thinks they are (they both need time to heal for that to happen) #and b.) it wont just be happy ever after now that they're living together even tho I wish it was that easy #abuse isn't easy to get over #there will be a Lot of hardships to overcome because of the things ingrained in your brain from it #but they'll be able to overcome their hardships now that they have each other #and the ones they can't overcome they'll face and deal with Together #because Thats what makes people brothers. not a family tree branch or by blood #but by love and appreciation and being there for each other when things get tough #no matter what obstacles arise #thats why the full saying isn't “blood is thicker than water” #but “The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.” #it's why their dynamic is called true brothers I rest my case #speaking of: #true brothers #jang hanseo #jang han seo #jang hanseok #vincenzo #tvn vincenzo #빈센조 #myposts

"I know you," he says, narrowing his eyes when he spots the other's face. They'd only spoken in passing, so he might not remember her otherwise except that he'd only seen her a few weeks ago, back in the city where they were meant to be. "You work at the boutique. Why are you here?" Is this place just pulling any random people from Gyeonseong here now?

Winter Travel Woes #2: Jang Jaeyoung/Chu Sangwoo, Semantic Error

For @roncheg, who sent: “So, obvious one - Semantic error guys go to France)))) as for the scenario there is some kind of train mishap? Wrong stop, maybe? like the stations' names differ by one vowel and it is silent in French))))” (Alas, French is not one of my languages, so I couldn’t do that aspect of it proper justice, but someone else should totally write that scenario!)

Jaeyoung checked the board as they entered the train station and then grabbed Sangwoo’s hand. “We have to run!”

They got to their platform just as the train was pulling away.

“Shit, shit, shit!” Jaeyoung chanted under his breath. He turned to Sangwoo miserably. “I’m sorry.”

“Why? It wasn’t your fault the roads were icy and the bus was behind schedule.”

“I should have planned for it better. Had us leave the apartment earlier.”

Sangwoo studied him for a few seconds and Jaeyoung braced himself for the deserved scolding that was inevitably coming. “Is something wrong? You don’t usually care so much about being on time. Is there...” Sangwoo made a slightly pained expression, “...a surprise event you haven’t told me about?”

Jaeyoung found himself startled into a laugh. This wasn’t going at all the way he’d thought. “No, no, I promise, no surprises. I just...” He sighed and pulled off his beanie to scrub a hand through his hair in frustration. “I know how much you appreciate things sticking to a schedule, and I had the whole trip planned out, and you already came all the way to France, so this seemed like the least I could do, and now it’s already going wrong.”

Sangwoo’s expression cleared. “Oh, I see.” He reached out to pat Jaeyoung on the head before nudging him to put his hat back on. “Thank you for trying to make a plan. But the main thing I have learned about traveling is that plans can’t be relied on.”

He brought his backpack around to the front and pulled out a small notebook. “I looked up the times for the next three trains as well. It’s fine.” He flipped it open and held it out to Jaeyoung, who saw a meticulous table of all their travel connections, with the original planned time for each one highlighted in yellow, but the next three later times written underneath as well.

Sangwoo opened the pen pocket and brought out a green highlighter before zipping everything closed again. “Come on, let’s go back to the ticket office.”

This time, he was the one to take Jaeyoung’s hand.

“So I didn’t ruin your trip?”

“Of course not. The purpose of my trip was to see you.”

Jaeyoung grinned the rest of the way to the ticket office.

#winter travel woes #prompt fills #jjy/csw #jang jaeyoung #chu sangwoo #semantic error #rhys's stuff #(an important part of any fic where they're in france for me is that jjy does all the speaking to other people for csw) #(which I don't really mention here but just know that's what happens when they get to the ticket office) #(csw passed that french class but pronunciation clearly remains the worst)

[starmist]

Yeah so I wrote 12 pages of smut today and just got to the part I started this fic for and now I have to shut it down for today

#I’ll never post my go won/mu deok/Jang Uk fic #but if I finish the first draft tmrw I’ll post this #speaking of does anyone want to beta read? my brain tends to skip over mistakes unless I read it out loud #preferably if you have experience beta reading but if you dont then it is what it is #alchemy of souls #anyway this takes place in a time period during s2 that doesn’t exist #all the events in both seasons are packed together one after the other so yeah #but this is after Jang Uk and Bu yeon are together but before she gets naksu/mudeoks memories #in a version that there’s weeks/months between those events #also also if anyone wants to check it out I have another aos smut fic that I wrote mid s2 called maddening on ao3

[helianthus21]

cannot express how much i need a scene where the Geumga fam is gonna run a con and they're like "so we need a famous spoilt rich guy who can get us into [insert venue] and also throw a hissy fit dramatically enough to cause a distraction so we can do our thing"

And everyone immediately turns to Han-seo who's like "😎 I got this"

#listen. spoilt rich kid is one of his qualities #put it on his resumé #vincenzo #jang han seo #ah the day i had folks #han seo going all 'let me speak to ur manager!>:/' on some poor guy (gn)

Ummm no! Only husbands who come sleep at home can look!

Naksu’s sulking face, I cannot- I think this is cuter than her sad face.

She’s blushing- you jerk-

When he realized he showed emotions and seeing her reaction.

You sit on a throne of lies!
