PERFECT REUNIONS

genre. fluff. hurt/comfort. warnings. a lot of crying and a lot of kissing lol. spoilers for aos s1 finale/s2 ep1 ig... but also not rly like idkkkk??? pairing. seo yul x fem!reader. wc. 1.5k. a/n. for @candewlsy my lovely and skdjks pls this fic had me sobbing and giggling while writing im low-key obsessed (and maybe back in my aos/yul era.)

“What!? He’s back?!” Your eyes widened and you practically bounced up at hearing the words from one of the servants. You had barely even heard the name of your lover since he had left 3 years ago, and after a couple of months, you had even stopped receiving letters despite his promise to you that he would keep sending them.

You were already rushing out of the house the second you processed the words. “Ma’am, I have been informed that Young Master Seo Yul is staying at Chwiseonru. He arrived this afternoon.”

It was already dark out and entirely improper for you to be travelling alone at this time, but you felt like you didn’t have a single second to spare to call for Eunju, your maid. It took 20 minutes to get to Chwiseonru from your family’s home, but with your hurried steps, you made it in half the time. Juwol knew you well and already could tell what had brought you here from your slight panting as you struggled to catch your breath.

“Y/n! You’re out so late? Without Eunju?” She sounded concerned, but she understood your urgency. There had barely been a mention of Yul after the chaos at Choyeon’s wedding 3 years ago. You had been too preoccupied with helping your best friend through her mourning and anger to even say a proper goodbye to him. 

Now that things were as back to normal as they could get, you were desperate to see the face you had longed for every night and day for so long. Juwol didn’t dawdle any longer before disclosing which room Yul was staying in, and you were quick to rush up the stairs and down the hall.

Standing in front of the door, you were hit with a sudden nervousness. You had been separated for so long, but now were only a room apart. It only took one push for you to see his face again. His beautiful face that you had missed so much.

But doubt filled you as you stalled there, standing just outside like the fool you were. What if he had forgotten you? What if he had found someone else in his time away? What if he didn’t want to see you?

But you shook all your thoughts aside and with your last bit of courage, knocked softly on the door.

“Yes?”

Your heart raced at the sound of his voice, and it suddenly all felt a little more real. He really was back. He was just behind this door. You pushed it open a little shakily, feeling almost as if you couldn’t breathe as you watched his eyes look up to meet yours.

He was dressed in a simple light purple set of hanbok and his hair was maybe a little longer than you had last seen, his eyes a little more worn with experience. They held a drowsiness which you knew all too well, and with a quick glance at the table he sat at, you acknowledged the bottle of wine he had been drinking. 

His eyes widened as soon as he saw you, and you swore they even brightened upon seeing your face. He stood up quickly, but he was clearly very drunk, and he stumbled a bit. You rushed over to him like it was second nature, steadying him before he could trip.

“I-I’m not dreaming, right? I-It’s really you, right?” He spoke softly, his words slurring together slightly as a result of the alcohol. His hands gripped at your arms to keep from falling, and your heart nearly shattered at his question. His voice was filled with hurt, but unmistakable hope as well, and all you could do was nod your head fervently at first.

“You’re not dreaming… It’s me.” You whispered with a sob. You finally gave up trying to keep you both standing, and sunk to the floor slowly, tears already slipping out and down your cheeks.

Yul was no more collected than you. Whether it was the alcohol or just the result of seeing you, you weren’t sure; but his eyebrows fell, and his lip began to tremble, and before too long, he was weeping silently in your arms as well. 

That’s how you stayed for several minutes. Both of you were too emotional to say anything without breaking down halfway through the sentence, so you just stayed in his arms, sobbing into his chest as he pulled you ever closer, his tears dripping down onto the silk of your dress.

It took a while for you to recover, but eventually, you did. You took a shaky breath, gathering enough energy to be the first one to speak. And even though you could talk without being reduced to tears halfway through, your words were still shaky with emotion.

“Why did you drink alone? You should’ve invited me…” You looked up at him and offered a sad smile. He tried to return it, but couldn’t quite. He shut his eyes as another tear slipped out. You reached out silently and brushed it off his cheek, leaving your hand there to cup his warm skin. He leaned into your touch and it seemed to ground him enough to find the words he wanted.

“I know I should’ve told you that I was returning… But I was scared.” He opened his eyes and met your loving gaze with his sorrowful one. “A few months after I left, I found out some of my letters had been intercepted by my father. I realized you must’ve thought that I… moved on from you.”

He looked down for a moment, collecting his thoughts. He was somehow so well-spoken even while drunk. You weren’t sure what you had expected, though. He was Seo Yul, after all. You hadn’t realized just how much you had missed him.

“Y/n.” He said softly. You smiled. Hearing your name from his lips was all you had longed for for those 3 years. “I have so much to tell you, and even more that I want to ask. But first… How have you been, my love?” He smiled gently, finally being able to call you that after so long.

You were quickly able to catch up with your lover. He told you about everything that had happened back home while you shared the rest of the wine. You didn’t have much to tell him. Most of the time he had been away from you had been spent at home, with you thinking of rarely anything but him. 

You found out that he hadn’t stopped writing letters to you, he had just stopped sending them. He had even brought them with him, but he refused to show you. They were useless now that he had you back.

In some ways it still felt like a dream that he was here. Yet it couldn’t be a dream because you felt his arms around you, hugging you as close as humanly possible. It still didn’t feel close enough for either of you, though.

As he talked, you couldn’t help but press more and more kisses to any skin you could access— his neck, his jaw, his cheek, and even his lips. He allowed you to cut off his sentences to kiss you instead. You had 3 years to make up for, after all.

It felt too perfect to be kissing him, to feel his soft lips against yours, and to feel the relief that you didn’t have to stop or say goodbye. He was here and he was yours. 

And with that thought, you kissed him as if there was no tomorrow. You wanted to savour the moment for as long as possible, so even when you had to pull apart to catch your breath, it was never too long before your lips found their way to his again. It was after you pulled apart for the 3rd or 4th time that Yul spoke up.

“Y/n… marry me.”

You were taken aback at his sudden words. It didn’t even really sound like a question, because he already knew your answer. He was firm in the statement, determined even, and you smiled wider than you had ever had before.

You nodded at him with shiny eyes, watching in awe as his lips curved up into a smile, eyes almost overflowing with his love for you. You laughed and kissed him again. You knew he would probably ask you again the next day when he was sober because “nothing counts when you’re drunk”, and that you would say yes again to that as well. It brought a warm feeling to your chest. You really couldn’t think of a time that you were happier than in the current moment. 

Everything felt so good and right and perfect. That’s what Yul was to you in every way. 

Absolutely, unmistakably, decidedly perfect.

PERFECT REUNION

Seo yul x reader (fluff)

"What!? He's back?!" Your eyes widened and you practically bounced up at hearing the words from one of the servants. You had barely even heard the name of your lover since he had left 3 years ago, and after a couple of months, you had even stopped receiving letters despite his promise to you that he would keep sending them.

Mutual and I have been doing an Alchemy of Souls rewatch and God… so much went down the drain in season two

Specifically, I’m talking about her friendships. All of season one she build so many friendships and eventually has a community of people that care so much about her and she in turn cares so much about. Even saying that she will stay and protect the people she loves.

And her relationships with Juwol and Kim Doju too. Juwol practically saw her as a little sister and as Mudeok she was so happy to have Kim Doju’s approval, not to mention the drinking scene. There are so many others like Eunuch Oh and Danggu and Cho Yeon and even Park Jin’s right hand to some extent.

Then season two we get none of that. Juwol and her interact once. Kim Doju only cares about her by virtue of her being Jang Uk’s wife. Sure in season one they met because of him but they had their own relationship as well.

I’m so sad that this all got tossed away, she deserves to have people who love her for her, she deserved a story line outside her love interests. It’s not fair that her only relationship were with men who had feelings for her.

[bitacrytic]

We don't talk about Juwol enough.

She's bae. She's hot. She's smart. She's loyal.

SHE'S FRIENDS WITH EVERYONE!!!

I know she's a brothel owner, but she is a good example of what a leader should be.

I love that even though she knows everyone's business, she still manages to stay above it all.

I completely forgot about her friendship with Mudeok. She really just let that girl have a room in her brothel when she knew that Mudeok was a liar who wasn't blind and would never be able to pay her back for the room.

Best girl, Juwol.

[karume-selfshipper]

Coming to a Lake/Beachfront near you! (Everyone in a banner under the cut with their general personality)

Lead Male Vocals/ Lead Guitarist-Tremashell-Basking Shark

Himbo vibes, acts dumb sometimes but is usually just a chill dude-bro type

His jaw can unhINGE and gives him a super deep voice

Typically leaves everything to the rest of the band... even though he is the one who STARTED the band...

Lead Fem Vocals/ Keyboard-Nemia-Dolphin

Natural heart-shaped markings (extra cute)

Playful and a little flirty in public, less so in private

But still rather casual with the other members of the band, leaning against or laying across laps like a little house cat

Is shipped with EVERY OTHER MEMBER OF THE BAND by their fan base

Second Guitar/Backup Vocalist-Cillella-Puffer Fish

Her scars are actually... Not trans scars but from her poison glands being in the wrong place and swelling to a dangerous degree

She only ever acts trans (has a whole fake backstory and everything) for the bigots

She switches her hip skirt (and sometimes wears a top) to represent every part of LGBTQ+

Partially to show support and rep, partially to piss uptight a$$holes off

But fans of the band (and her) know the truth... some are okay with it, others find it insensitive

Otherwise she's the one who organizes events (with Juwol) and plots tour routes

Bass Guitar-Perrous-Manta Ray

Is he really jealous or is it just a front? The world may never know...

Yes, he is actually jealous of Tremashell and his popularity but plays it up to the nth degree for stage presence

Will never admit his crush on Cillella, but also not sure he wants to date a fellow band mate just on principle

Typically the one who helps the twins make decisions on the SFX (things like color choice and timing)

Drummer-Minamo-Cuttlefish

Typically pulling pranks or figuring out ways to promote the band/tour

His "ear flaps" are actually tentacles that act like smaller arms/hands

Very secret crush on Tremashell, but he has his doubts...

Does NOT like Nemia being so casual and lounging across his lap... but doesn't want to cause a fight either

SFX 1-Razz-Electric Eel

Twin brother to Rezz

The more serious of the two, always looking for the most efficient way to pull off the effects

Refuses to get involved in the drama of the band

Has no problem helping Remi with crowd control (small shocks)

SFX 2-Rezz-Electric Eel

Twin brother to Razz

Creativity to the max, needs to be reigned in

Keeps up with ALL the drama and manages to stay out of it (what little drama there is anyways...)

Typically the lyric/music writer (Tremashell and Nemia go over it and recompose for the "acoustic" versions.)

Stage hand-Juwol-Rainbow Parrot Fish

She doesn't like wearing shirts/tank tops because it covers her markings (she and other rainbow parrot fish are rather proud of their markings and dislike covering them up)

Though she dislikes being in the spotlight for personal reasons, she has little trouble being around for photo shoots (particularly with Nemia and Cillella)

Often helps Remi as bouncer when she isn't setting the stage or keeping Rezz and Razz's SFX from toppling over

Wears a modesty skirt with the band's name on it and occasionally a headband/scarf on her headfin

Bouncer-Remi-Greenland Shark

Tries to stay in the background as best as possible, doesn't want to overshadow the band (he's weirdly popular with some fans)

Often helps Juwol with setting the stage and tunes the instruments

Is the main target of Nemia's cat behavior (he is the warmest of the band members)

Keeps up with everyone's needs (if they need meds, have injuries, etc)

Is the biggest caretaker of the band and keeps everything on track from everyone else scheduling (he plays catch-all)
