The Songbird and the Sea

by maia_archives 2017

a classic. I first read this fanfic when I didn’t really know/care about BTS and KPOP in general so I had the chance of enjoying well-written characters without being biased in any way (ha, get it?)...

Get ready for a 256k word adventure that takes you back to the era of piracy and into a world of fantastic elements.

Official summary quoted from AO3:

“In a world where dominance of the sea is an endless battle between pirates and mariners, Park Jimin is content living in his little village on a small, uninteresting island by the eastern mainland. He wants nothing to do with the bloodshed of good and evil, the heartless killing of both innocents and condemned, the constant establishment and disruption of order. What he wants is peace, to live his life in the same town he was born in, to spend his days in the beautiful forest, and to use the powers of his Blessed Rune to nurture the home he loves so dearly.

But when his island is attacked by pirates, Jimin will have no other choice than to do as they command and leave all thoughts of peace behind in favor of boarding the Agust, a pirate ship captained by the infamous Min Yoongi, Black Fox of the East.”

I’m not joking when I say this: everyone should read this story.

It’s so well-written, the descriptions are super detailed and the overall feel you get from this story is something else. The strongest aspect is definitely the plot, though. Dude, the plot.

In some parts there are some writing errors (which I will talk about in detail in my review post) but srsly, you could completely ignore those and call me petty.

I should also mention it’s rated E and there are some graphic descriptions of violence.

Here’s the magic link, enjoy yourself:
