BAD NEWS | CHAPTER INDEX/PROLOGUE (Part 1-64)

-just when you thought you were over your humongous crush on your older brother’s best friend, geto suguru, you couldn’t be more dead wrong, and maybe there isn’t really anything holding you back from acting on it now that you’re all grown up…except satoru doesn’t like suguru for you because he knows his kind all too well: a huge ass playboy who breaks hearts like he changes socks. but you think. MAYBE you’ll be the exception...maybe not.

CHARACTERS: drummer!geto suguru x (fem/afab) reader x guitarist!sukuna | gojo satoru | itadori yuuji | kugisaki nobara | fushiguro megumi | sukuna | fushiguro toji | nanami kento | choso | tsukumo yuuki | shoko ieiri | utahime iori

GENRE: full-length smau + prose | band au, tats, piercings, the whole shebang | college au | stupid pining | aged-up characters | friends to lovers (?) | this is gonna have smutty stuff because why not?

TW/CW: strong/mature language | adult content so mdni on some parts; just skip them. you’re not missing much | mentions of alcohol, drugs | mentions of cheating, promiscuity, mild dubcon (consent >>>), etc. | again, god-awful pet names i’d cringe at if a 3d person says it | toxic behavior | will add more if something arises

AKI’S NOTES: I would like to express my sincerest thanks to everyone who loved and supported “Thawing Ice Queen” as well as those who participated in the poll on which smau I’m going to write next. So, this is what won in said poll, and I hope it gets as much as love as TIQ if not more. Reblogs and likes are very much appreciated, and I actively respond to comments as well as Asks. Also, if you’re interested, I will include you in the tag list. Just message me through whatever avenue you’re most comfortable with. Happy reading!

ADDITIONAL NOTES: i will be using pics and other media which would fit situations and make the smau-ness of this piece a little more realistic and entertaining when i believe it’s appropriate/fitting to the plot (as i've done with TIQ). having said that, with regard to inclusivity, i just want to put it out there that they will not necessarily be aimed as the exact descriptions to fit a supposedly generic reader nor will they be representative of a specific race or color (even if you’re/the reader is gojo’s sister here). it’s all for the simple fact of media availability, for funsies and the fact that i don’t exclusively write in consideration of those aspects when using reader-insert characters unless i specify it. thank you for understanding.

Oh Baby, You - svt smau

The birth of your son three years ago was what caused your breakup with Wonwoo, your longtime (and at that point, long distance) partner. Now, you're getting concerned that Orion is starting to look a lot like his dad, but that's not your only problem. Wonwoo is back… and he's living across the hall.

Genres: smau, romance, drama, comedy, angst, single parent au

Pairing: jeon wonwoo x afab they/she reader x mystery member(s)

Warnings: coarse language, conversations about sex, mentions of pregnancy, mama/mom/mother is used to refer to reader's parental status sometimes, infidelity, light alcoholism, miscommunication as a plot device, some of the teenies are not so nice at times, slut shaming, angst, everything is unrealistically dramatic because this is basically a kdrama in text/twitter form. warnings may be updated as they come, but I will label chapters properly if it's anything major

Note: unfortunately, I did have to make the mc for this series have female reproductive organs because, well... that's the plot. I couldn't find a good way around it :( if anyone reading this is discouraged, please know that pretty much every other fic I've ever posted is gender neutral. So, if you think you might've liked this smau, please check out my masterlist! hopefully there will be something you like there :) ALSO! if anyone makes fun of Orion's name just know that it's the name of a precious baby cousin of mine and if you bully smau Orion you are bullying irl Orion!! do not touch him!!!

(new!) Updates will post when I have the time and motivation

‘So, I guess we won’t have any more privacy at all now,’ you said, clicking your tongue half annoyed and half amused.

‘Did we ever?’ Chan chuckled as he yawned and stretched his arms above his head. You had all been sitting at the dining table for dinner as Han told everyone about his newfound power.

‘But didn’t you already kinda have this power?’ Jeongin asked, leaning back in his chair. ‘I mean I remember you saying that you could know who was where by “listening to the grass” or something.’

‘No but this is different,’ Han said excitedly as he wiggled from side to side on his chair. ‘This is more like… Like x-ray vision or something,’ Han tried to explain. Jeongin crossed his arms over his chest, covering himself and looking indignantly. Han rolled his eyes.

‘It isn’t like that, and besides, it’s nothing I haven’t seen before,’ Han said, annoyed.

‘So how does it work again?’ Minho asked, having finished his dinner like everyone else, but still holding his chopsticks thoughtlessly in his hand.

‘It doesn’t seem to come from plants this time,’ Han said, enthusiastically turning to Minho to explain it once more. ‘And normally I kinda just get “told” the information, but I don’t see anything. But this is different! I can literally look at a floor or a wall, and-’ he said as he looked at the kitchen wall, ‘it’s like it's not even there. I can just see outside, or down, or into a room, as if there are no walls or floors at all.’ Han explained. ‘It feels like… The earth's vibrations itself are within me now and-’ Han went on.

‘Yeah, I gotta go to work,’ Hyunjin interrupted, getting up from his chair and acting like he wasn’t impressed. You knew full well that Hyunjin was very happy for Han and had heard him congratulate his friend as soon as Han had told him, but you also knew he could get a bit tired when Han was in one of his “zones”.

Han continued to talk about his powers with some of the boys as Hyunjin, Jeongin, and Chan one by one left the table for work.

However, as Jeongin bade you goodbye, you noticed him acting a little off and being a bit short with you.

It was only when he shut the front door behind himself that you realized why. After all, you hadn’t been too nice to him when you found out Han was sick. It had been unreasonable of you to react the way you had towards him, even though you had been emotional at the time.

For a moment, you thought about going after him, but you quickly changed your mind.. Although you wanted nothing more than to apologize as soon as possible, doing so at his work might not be the right moment or setting. You made a mental note for yourself to come up with a good apology before you got up from the table to help Changbin with the dishes.

‘Have you heard anything from Seungmin yet?’ you asked Changbin as he rinsed the dishes and handed them to you to put in the dishwasher. Changbin sucked in some air between his teeth.

‘He contacts us every now and then,’ he said thoughtfully, tapping the temples of his head to indicate that it was via mindreading. ‘But he’s being a bit… vague?’ Changbin said, frowning. You looked at him with raised brows. ‘Hm, I’m not sure,’ Changbin shrugged indifferently. ‘You know how Seungmin can get, especially when he’s at work. He won’t explain much. But I think he might’ve found something unexpected or unusual,’ Changbin said thoughtfully, handing you some empty dirty cups.

‘What makes you think that?’ You asked curiously.

‘Well, he should’ve been back already, but it’s been days. He won’t stay out there just because, especially not when you’re here,’ he added, poking you playfully on your cheek with a wet finger.

Changbin’s words made you curious as to what Seungmin would have found in the stars, but you knew it would be of no use asking him until he returned home.

Trying to suppress the wild fantasies of dangerous asteroids, external lifeforms, and new planets, you decided to join the boys for a good old-fashioned evening in front of the TV, watching ridiculous reality programs while sitting on their laps.

The dark ceiling of your bedroom seemed to stare down at you. The longer you lay in bed, the more you felt guilty towards Jeongin and how you behaved towards him. You felt restless but seemed to be unable to come up with an apology that would rectify your inexcusable behavior towards him.

Anxious, you sat up in bed, chewing on your lip as you looked around in the dark.

Shit.

How did you always manage to make things right and at the same time screw up something else?

You slid out of bed but stopped when you stood beside it. Everyone had long gone to sleep by now. You knew Felix had an early shift tomorrow, and Han and Minho already hadn’t gotten much sleep lately. And although Changbin was a great listener, he wasn’t really one to give out advice. You wished Chan were home, as he always knew what to do or say or how to fix or settle things. But you hadn’t heard him come home yet. Nor Hyunjin or Jeongin himself for that matter.

You looked over at the alarm clock. It was only 2 o’clock. Jeongin wouldn’t be home until four at the earliest. You pressed your lips together, thinking, but nothing seemed to come to mind.

Restlessly your feet started to move, small steps in the direction of your door. Quietly, you left your room, your mind feeling like it was a high-speed train, racing by, but the train seemed to be empty somehow and the destination seemed to be nonexistent.

You sighed as your feet stopped in front of Jeongin’s door. You weren’t sure what you were doing there as he wasn’t home anyway, but the guilt gnawing at you wanted to be in his presence any way it could be as if simply being where he usually was could fix things. Even though you knew it couldn't.

Quietly, you opened the door to his room. Even in the dark, you could see it was a bit messy but you had never minded that. Carefully and silently you tiptoed around the pieces of clothing, shoes, and sneakers, and even a few workout instruments until you reached his bed.

The sheets were unmade and his pillows were slumped on top of each other. Trying to think of something to say when he would eventually come back, you started mindlessly making his bed, a task you usually didn’t even like to do for your own bed.

By the time you were done the only sentence that you had thought to say was:

“I’m sorry, I’m a dumb jackass sometimes.”

It clearly didn’t seem to be a good apology.

You sighed, annoyed with yourself, and took a deep breath inward. Jeongin’s soft scent entered your nose and seemed to calm you down a little. You breathed again, his smell warming your heart and making you feel at home. You blinked slowly as exhaustion started to creep up on you. As Jeongin usually used his phone as his alarm clock, there was nowhere you could tell the time. You yawned and your feet took a step towards the bed again.

I want to stay.

Yawning again, and deciding that thinking would be something that was better left to tomorrow, you thoughtlessly got into the bed. Pulling the covers over yourself high, you felt like you were wrapped in him, his warmth and smell seeming to hug you. You allowed yourself to close your eyes for a moment…

‘Y/n?’ A gentle voice whispered. With difficulty, you opened your eyes, but there was nothing much to see except for darkness.

‘Hm?’ You hummed, too sleepy to make another sound.

‘Hey baby, what are you doing in my bed?’ Jeongin’s voice asked softly and with a chuckle.

You frowned for a moment trying to think hard, but your brain was foggy and only choppy sentences seemed to come to you.

‘I am sorry,’ you uttered with difficulty, closing your eyes again. You could feel his hand on your cheek, cupping it, as another was laid on top of your head.

‘What? Why? You don’t have to be sorry that you’re in my bed,’ he chuckled softly. But even with your sleepy brain, you realized that he misunderstood your words.

‘No… I… know…’ you mumbled sleepily. You could feel a finger stroking your forehead, making it even harder to stay awake and tell him what you needed to.

‘Then why are you sorry?’ Jeongin’s hushed voice laughed.

‘I… was mean… Sorry…’ you mumbled with difficulty. The hand on your forehead stopped and stilled for a moment before both hands were pulled back. The sudden coldness made you open your eyes again.

You could only just make out Jeongin’s features in the darkness as he sat beside you, his face level with yours. But it was too dark to make out his expression. Suddenly he bent over to you, kissing you on the forehead with soft lips, lingering for a moment, and causing you to close your eyes once more.

‘It’s alright baby. I love you. I’m over it.’

You inhaled again. His scent was warm, just like his voice.

You could feel the covers being pulled up as he slipped into the bed beside you.

‘Come here,’ he whispered as you felt his arms wrapping around you. You nuzzled your face into his chest, one of your arms around his waist and the other against his heart, which you could feel beating through his shirt. The rhythm of it was all it took for you to fall asleep once more.

A small ray of light was peeking through the curtains when you opened your eyes. You looked over at Jeongin beside you, no longer holding you but fast asleep. His golden hair was a mess and the pillows that you put back neatly last night were already scattered all over again. You smiled. All was well again.

You turned around towards his nightstand to search for his phone. As usual, it was on the charger and you tapped the screen to see the time.

09:30

FUCK

Your panic mode was instantly activated. You shot up from the bed, quickly looking around to make sure you hadn’t woken Jeongin, but he still seemed to be sleeping deeply.

As fast and as quietly as you could, you tiptoed out of his room.

As soon as you closed the door behind you, you threw all caution to the wind. You ran up the stairs back to your room, changing as fast as you could while at the same time trying to wash your face, comb your hair, and brush your teeth. Breakfast would have to wait ‘till lunch.

You grabbed your bag from your desk, not bothering to check whether everything you would need was inside, and sprinted out of the door down the stairs again only to stop in the living room. The house seemed to be deserted. For a moment, you considered waking up Jeongin so he could teleport you to school, but you knew he’d refuse, as it would be too risky to get caught.

Shit

You ran out of the door, closing it behind you and looking at the driveway. All the cars had gone. You cursed Han and Minho for not waking you up this morning, knowing that Han, with his newfound X-ray vision, knew perfectly well that you had still been in the house, asleep with Jeongin.

There was nothing to it. Public transport it had to be. Which would take ages…

Mumbling all the curse words you had learned in your past four years on this earth, you stomped out of the classroom.

‘Well, good morning to you too little miss sunshine,’ Adam’s voice caught you by surprise.

You turned around to face him and simply nodded.

‘Wow okay, bad day?’ He asked, seeing your miserable face.

‘You can say that again,’ you huffed, turning around again to follow the masses towards the school lunchroom.

‘Oh boy,’ Adam chuckled. He walked over to you, putting an arm around your shoulder in a friendly manner. ‘Wanna tell Auntie Adam about it?’ He said in a high-pitched pitched sugary voice.

‘You know those days where nothing seems to go right?’ You asked as you walked with him. Adam nodded, taking his arm off your shoulder and listening to you seriously now. ‘Yeah, well today is one of those days,’ you grumbled.

‘What happened?’ Adam asked, as you entered the lunch room and found a place to sit.

‘I overslept,’ you began.

‘Don’t you have like six roommates who could wake you?’ He said, raising a brow.

‘Eight, but yes, and they didn’t, even though two of the fuckers work here,’ you said teeth clenched irritably as you scanned the room, hoping to see them, but they were nowhere to be found.

‘But skipping a few classes isn’t too bad, right?’ Adam asked, trying to console you but failing. You looked at him sharply.

‘It wouldn’t be normally, BUT,’ you began, as you inhaled deeply, readying yourself to unleash your annoyance. ‘No one was home and all the cars were gone so I had to take public transport, but then I couldn’t find my card so I had to pay with cash, but this stupid-ass bus driver was being difficult and everything, claiming that they didn’t accept cash anymore and he kicked me off! Then I had to wait for the next bus that did accept cash, but then that bus got stranded with a flat tire. Like when does a bus ever get a flat tire?! So I had to walk the last twenty freaking minutes, with this damned weather, before I finally got here. And when I finally got here I remembered that today we would have a guest lecture by some upper-class whats-it for Mr. Kang’s class and that it would last the entire freaking day. And I don’t know if you ever had Mr. Kang, but I’ve never met anyone with a stick up his arse as big as his so of course when I came in three hours too late to his class he gave me shit for it in front of the entire class and of course, he managed to give us an essay to write that I probably won’t be able to finish before I retire, but it has to be finished in two weeks.’

‘Wow,’ Adam said quietly, looking at you with large eyes. ‘Yeah, that sounds like kind of a shitty morning indeed.’ You rolled your eyes at him and stuck out your tongue.

‘Actually,’ he began, bending over and rummaging in his bag, seeming to look for something, ‘I was saving these for Sera, but I think you need it more right now. Ah got it,’ he said. He pulled out what seemed to be an opaque plastic bag. You looked at it curiously. ‘These, my friend, are bonbons from my home country. Best chocolate you’ll ever have, and guaranteed to make your day a little less shitty,’ he said with a grin and a wink. You sighed, but took a chocolate out of the bag he was holding and put it in your mouth just to entertain him.

He wasn’t lying though, the chocolates were extraordinarily tasty.

‘Right?’ he grinned when he saw your surprised face. You nodded approvingly at him.

‘But how have you been?’ you asked, not wanting to be reminded of your annoyances anymore and hoping for some distraction.

‘Fine,’ Adam shrugged, popping a chocolate in his own mouth as well. ‘My mom has been urging me to take Sera to the upcoming family dinner, but Sera isn’t really feeling up to it,’ he said, scrunching his nose, causing the scar on his face to become even more distorted.

‘Why not?’ you asked interested, happy to talk about something else.

‘It’s not that she doesn’t like my family or anything, but my parents have the habit of reverting to our native language whenever it’s just the family. They just kinda seem to forget she’s there or something, or they might think she's such a part of the family that they forget she doesn't speak our language,’ Adam explained.

Adam and you spoke a while about him and his family, their traditions and habits, which now and then differed quite a bit from yours. The conversation started to shift to a new subject when suddenly you felt a tingle on the back of your neck. Automatically, you shifted your eyes away from Adam, looking over his shoulder. Two familiar figures entered the cafeteria.

Minho’s unmistakable gray hair always gathered a lot of attention whenever he appeared somewhere public in the school. He was talking with Han casually, ignoring all the girls who instantly came running at the two of them, asking them all kinds of questions.

For some reason, you could feel your heartbeat increase, your cheeks suddenly glowing.

Minho and Han finally stopped talking when two girls went to stand in front of them blocking their way. You had no way of hearing what they were saying, but it was clear Han responded to them in a friendly but definitive way, which made the girls nod and smile, but cleared the way for the two men.

Your eyes felt like they were glued to the two of them. The urge to get up and go over to them was overwhelming, but for some reason, you couldn’t seem to move. Your stomach seemed to be fluttering as you stared after them while they disappeared out of view again.

‘Hello? Y/n?’ Adam's voice suddenly sounded loud as he snapped his fingers in front of your face. You looked at him startled. ‘You okay?’ he asked worriedly. You blinked a few times as he looked at you with a frown. ‘Your face is all red,’ he noted, unsure.

‘What? Oh sorry, I was just daydreaming,’ you said quickly, unsure about what had just happened.

‘You sure?’ Adam asked worriedly, looking at you inquisitively.

‘You really are starting to sound like Auntie Adam, you know,’ you teased him, trying to get the attention away from yourself. This time it was his turn to click his tongue and roll his eyes at you, but he chuckled.

‘Well, as I was saying before you so rudely decided to check out of the conversation, Sera told me about, well you know,’ he said, suddenly sounding a bit awkward.

‘What?’ you asked, trying to remember what he said but not getting it yet.

‘The erm, boyfriend situation,’ he said, lowering his voice, and looking around to see if anyone heard.

‘Dude, if you’re going to be this awkward about it, I’m not telling Sera anything ever again,’ you said annoyed.

‘No!’ he protested quickly, ‘It’s not that I’m awkward about it. It's fine, great!’ he said quickly. You pursed your lips and pulled up your brows. ‘I’m sorry okay?’ he sighed. ‘I’m really not good with these kinds of things. You know how awkward I can be sometimes. It’s just- I- I guess I just have to get used to the idea, or something,’ he said sheepishly. ‘It’s not like I think it’s weird or anything,’ he added hastily after seeing your face. ‘It’s just, you have to admit it’s not something you encounter every day, and they are your roommates too, so I don’t know…’ he said awkwardly.

‘It’s fine,’ you assured him. ‘I understand it’s unusual and might be awkward for some people. I mean, I didn’t tell you in the first place either because I understand it’s kind of weird. I sure don’t really like other people knowing, but I hope you guys can be cool with it,’ you added, feeling slightly insecure.

‘I’m cool with it,’ Adam said quickly. ‘As long as you’re happy, all’s good right?’

‘I am,’ you said with a smile.

‘By the way, about that double date with me and Sera, I totally get it if you don’t want to go, you know,’ he added a little softer.

‘You know you’re saying all the wrong things, don’t you?’ you told him dryly. Adam slapped himself on the good side of his face.

‘Let me rephrase that; I would totally love to do that double date with you and your- your boyfriends, but I hope you don’t feel pressured. I know what Sera’s like,’ he explained.

‘That’s better,’ you chuckled. ‘I have to admit, the idea felt a little scary at first, but now that I think about it, I think it could actually be quite nice.’

Adam smiled and nodded at your response as the bell finally rang. You groaned.

‘I guess it’s back to another few hours of guest lecture hell,’ you sighed.

‘Here, take these,’ Adam said, handing you the bag of bonbons, 'at least you’ll have something to snack on.’

‘What about Sera?’ you asked, taking the bag from him.

‘I’ll just ask my parents to bring more next month when they’re back. Just don’t tell her you got them from me and she’ll never know,’ he said, getting up and swinging his bag over his shoulder. ‘Oh, and don’t get caught snacking in class, either.’

There was a knock on the door of your room.

‘Hm?’ you said, not looking up from the book on your messy desk. As soon as you had gotten home, you sprinted in a straight line to your room. Although the day had been hell and the guest lecture boring, something the guest said had triggered an idea for your essay for Mr. Kang, and you were eager to get it done as fast as possible.

You had already been sitting at your desk for quite a few hours, studying, reading, and researching for the paper frantically, hoping the hyperfocus would last as long as it could.

You could hear the door opening. Even without looking up, you knew who it was immediately. His scent instantly seemed to intoxicate you, but you refused to let it take over, staring fiercely at the page of your book.

‘Are you coming down to eat?’ Chan asked you, staying in the doorway. You prayed he wouldn’t come in, knowing you’d truly lose all focus and not knowing when you’d be able to continue again.

‘Maybe later,’ you grumbled, eyes still fiercely locked on a word you suddenly couldn’t read anymore. The urge to look over at him was pulling at you hard, and you had to press your lips together to stay focused.

‘You know you do have to eat something baby,’ Chan said softly. His voice was so sweet, so low and caring. You wanted him to come over to you, to touch you.

Get it together!

‘Later,’ you repeated forcefully, closing your eyes now.

‘Alright, but promise you’ll take good care of yourself, okay?’ he added kindly. You could only nod.

It was only when you heard the door close behind you that you dared to open your eyes and breathe again.

What the hell was going on with you?

You hadn’t been like this since you found out you were a goddess. Why was your body acting so… immature?

You shook your head wildly.

No. This was not the time to think about these things. You had to focus. You had to get as far as possible with that paper, knowing there would be no way you would be able to finish it properly on time otherwise.

You put the questions out of your head and forced yourself to re-read the page until your focus returned.

An odd pain in your neck woke you up. You lifted your head slowly, feeling the muscle in your neck had been in the wrong position for too long. Looking down, you saw all the scattered papers and books you had used earlier. You checked your laptop quickly, but the file was fine and saved. Annoyed at yourself that you had somehow fallen asleep while writing the paper, you got up from your desk and stretched. Instantly, you felt your stomach rumble.

Crap, you forgot to eat.

You looked over at the time on your computer, noticing it was already nighttime. You hesitated for a second, feeling tired and wanting to go to sleep properly in your bed. But you had promised Chan to eat something and your stomach was probably rumbling too loud for you to be able to sleep anyway. Deciding there was no other option, you quietly left your room, not wanting to wake any of the others. On your tiptoes, you made your way to the top of the stairs to go down until-

‘That long?!’ you heard Jeongin say shocked. You stopped to listen.

‘Shut up,’ you heard Chan’s voice hiss at him. ‘You’ll wake her.’

‘Sorry but, why does it matter? She’ll find out anyways,’ Hyunjin said with a dry chuckle.

‘Yeah, it’s not like we can really hide it when it happens,’ Changbin added.

‘That’s exactly the reason why,’ Chan argued, ‘We can’t hide it so we’ll have to keep her safe.’

‘You really expect her to not notice anything during the entire solstice?’ Minho scoffed.

‘We’ll just have to try and avoid her as much as we can,’ Chan said, starting to sound a bit desperate.

‘She’s our Goddess, Chan, we can’t hide from her,’ Minho objected.

‘Besides, who says it won’t affect her either?’ Seungmin suddenly chimed in.

Your heart made a little jump at the sound of his voice. You had missed him more than you had admitted to yourself and were overjoyed to hear his voice again. But something told you to stay put. They all seemed to be downstairs, talking about something important, but what you didn’t quite understand yet. And what was more, they were planning on not telling you. Slowly you crouched down, sharpening your ears.

‘Actually, that’s quite a good point,��� Felix said thoughtfully.

‘I’ll contact Namjoon about it. See if he or Lady can tell us more,’ Chan said quickly.

‘Are you going to tell them you’ll keep it from her too?’ Minho said prodding.

‘She has the right to know, Chan.’ Changbin agreed. More agreeing voices sounded. The sound of a chair being pushed back entered your ears.

‘We have to keep her safe,’ Chan said, his voice sounding authoritative but desperate. ‘Changbin, how many times did we have to put out fires last solstice? And Seungmin, how many storms did you cause last time? Nearly flooded the country for heaven’s sake,’ he growled. A grumble could be heard from both parties. ‘And I don’t even want to think of what Felix or Hyunjin would do to her…’ Chan added, his voice sounding worried.

A snort could be heard.

‘You think this is funny?’ Chan asked sharply.

‘Not really,’ Minho sounded casually. ‘But it does sound a little silly, don’t you think?’

‘Why so?’ Chan asked, his voice a dangerous and cold calmness.

‘Well, have we ever harmed each other during a solstice?’ Minho asked simply. It was silent for a minute.

‘Not really, but-’ Chan began but he got caught off.

‘Precisely. We haven’t. I know you keep going on about her supposedly fragile human side and all, but you keep forgetting she is a goddess. Our goddess. And the solstice only amplifies. Meaning her goddess will be amplified as well,’ Minho argued.

‘We don’t know that yet, though,’ Seungmin spoke. ‘For all we know she might not be affected at all, I think we should just-’

‘Han,’ Chan suddenly interrupted.

‘Wh-what?’ Han replied, startled.

‘What are you looking at?’ Chan asked sharply. Your heart stopped. You had totally forgotten about Han’s newfound X-ray powers and there was no way he hadn’t seen you crouching here on top of the stairs. Your body froze up as you waited for his reply.

‘Nothing. There was a mosquito on the ceiling,’ Han said quickly.

‘Felix?’ Chan said authoritatively.

‘Look, if I gotta keep up with every living ant that crawls around here I’d go mad,’ Felix said defensively.

Chan sighed and it was silent again for a moment. You thanked Han and Felix for not ratting you out but wondered why they kept your secret.

‘Look,’ he began in a softer tone, ‘I don’t like it either, but as Seungmin said, the solstice is coming earlier than he had calculated. We’ve talked about a contingency plan when we first took her in, but we never got around to it and now we're running out of time. So all I’m asking is to just give me some time to figure this out,’ Chan proposed.

There was some soft mumbling and you could hardly make out their intentions.

‘We all want to keep her safe right?’ Chan asked. Everyone hummed agreeingly. ‘Then let’s just keep our distance until I’ve heard back from Namjoon, okay?’ Chan suggested.

‘Even us?’ Jeongin said. You figured he would be pointing at some of the members.

‘Our powers are amplified but also unbalanced. We can’t take any risks,’ Chan said determinately.

There was silence again for a bit.

‘So when will you go?’ Han asked after a minute.

‘I have to work tonight,’ Chan answered. ‘But as soon as I’m done I will go to them.’

‘So it’ll just be for tomorrow morning then, the distance thing?’ Jeongin said hopefully.

‘There are no guarantees they have answers for us. I don’t know if they experience solstices like we do, or how many they’ve had. Let alone how many they’ve had with Lady. We might be in the same line of work, but we’re still very different from them,’ Chan argued.

‘Then what if they don’t have an answer?’ Changbin asked the same question that was on your mind.

Chan didn’t answer.

The sound of wind dispersing in a small room could be heard. Your body seemed to unfreeze and as quick as you could you tiptoed back to your room.

Closing the door behind you, you let yourself fall on your bed, turning to face the ceiling, your hunger from earlier completely disappeared.

You felt somewhat dizzy as the conversation you just overheard replayed itself over and over in your head, two words especially lingering with a dangerous tinge to it.

The solstice.

Transgressions Blotted Out

I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee. — Isaiah 44:22 | Authorized King James Version (AKJV) The Holy Bible: Authorized King James Version; Cambridge University Press, the Crown’s patentee in the UK. All rights reserved. Cross References: 2 Chronicles 6:21; Psalm 51:1; Psalm 51:9; Isaiah 1:18; Isaiah 31:6; Isaiah 33:24; Isaiah 41:14; Isaiah 43:1; Isaiah 43:25; Isaiah 48:20; Isaiah 55:7; Jeremiah 33:8; Zechariah 1:3; Acts 3:19; 1 Corinthians 6:20; 1 Peter 1:18-19

Notes: This verse calls us to turn to God. By faith in Christ, when He sees us He doesn't see our sin. He sees the very righteousness of Jesus. This is what redemption means, that when we stand before our holy God, the price for our sins have been paid, and they are wiped away. They're gone like mist.

♡︎Them talking about you♡︎

(𝔻𝕦𝕣𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕔𝕒𝕥 𝕖𝕒𝕣 𝕚𝕟𝕥𝕖𝕣𝕧𝕚𝕖𝕨 𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕘𝕪)

A/N: Ik I mention this video often but I love it so much I can't (y'all I've been trying to write this since 3:55pm it is now 12:13am people either wanna talk or message me when I start writing istg) also don't worry about the time stamps there for future chapters so just ignore them

This is gender neutral

------------–––---------------------------

Scenario:(Member) talks about you alot so ofc the members had to mention you in his talking habits

--------------------------------------------

𝕄𝕪𝕦𝕟𝕘𝕙𝕠 8:33pm - 11:18pm

-----------------------------

★Myungho isn't surprise he knew this was coming but it still flustered him it was a shock but not a surprise (does that make sense?-) Myungho said a few things he likes about you not too much as he didn't wanna make the members bored or anything★

𝕂𝕪𝕦𝕟𝕘𝕞𝕚𝕟 3:55pm - 8:33pm

------------------------------

★As soon as he saw your name pop up on the screen Infront of him he almost fell off his chair, his cheeks went bright red encouraging the members to tease him more

As soon as the members saw your name on the screen they all died out in laughter before mimicking how Kyungmin always brings up how he met you★

_______________________________________

𝕁𝕒𝕖𝕪𝕦𝕟 11:19pm - 11:23pm

--------------------------

★Jaeyun just like Myungho knew this was coming he'd playfully act shocked before laughing along with the rest then told the camera everything he likes about you let's just say the poor editors I had to cut out like almost 4 hours of footage of just Jaeyun talking about you no breaks or quick breathers I'm sure some of the members fell asleep★

_______________________________________

ℍ𝕒𝕖𝕞𝕚𝕟 11:40pm - 11:46pm

---------------------------

★Haemin had a feeling but he didn't think to much on it till your name showed up Infront of him he stopped for a second before nervously laughing wondering if this was allowed but after a few seconds he warmed up to talking about you on camera then started sharing embarrassing things about you he learned his lesson the next time he saw you★

_______________________________________

𝕊𝕖𝕦𝕟𝕘𝕙𝕖𝕠𝕟 11:55 - 12:00am

------------------------------

★He was shy but he took the chance to tease you (brings back to the "shy but bold") he'd bring up things like if you sleep talk he will mimick you and almost sound exactly like you (if it wasn't for his deep ass voice) or if you walk or run a certain way he will stand up and mimick it teasing you lead to the members teasing him for how much he pays attention to★

______________________________________

𝕐𝕦𝕟𝕘𝕪𝕦 11:55 - 12:04am

--------------------------

★Small shy baby he was giggling the entire time talking about you he tells his favorite memories with a love sick (girls) smile on his face which once again leads to the members teasing him instead of you once he got off screen and time to relax the first thing he did was call you to tell you what happened which once again he got teased for★

𝕄𝕚𝕟𝕙𝕠 12:09am - 12:11am

--------------------------

★he would get excited but also embarrassed once the members bring up how he makes you touch his hair all the time once he gets a bit more comfy with the topic of you on camera they couldn't get him to shut up even on topics that weren't about you he'd somehow snuggle you in the Convo★

𝕐𝕠𝕠𝕟𝕤𝕦𝕟𝕘 12:04am - 22:08am

--------------------------------

★oh boy did he get excited as I've mentioned before he loves to dance with you so ofc he stood up and showed everyone his favorite dance to do with you once he sat down again he talked about how you would steal his clothes and look small (crying in 5'9) you look he would pull his phone out his pocket and show photos all of which none of them made it in the final cut to protect your privacy★

[hotcat37]

@technicallycleverdetective here's the IKEA! Jance version <3

8: what happens if one of them gets sick?

Nace is a natural caretaker so he'd be running back and forth doing whatever it takes to make Jan feel better. He'll cook soup, take Jan's temperature and stay with him until he falls asleep.

Jan himself isn't used to having to take care of other people but if Nace is sick, he'll make sure that his boyfriend doesn't try to do everything himself. He'll keep Nace stuck in bed by immobilizing him with blankets (+Igor and Ollie) and take care of whatever errands Nace was supposed to do that day

11: do they try to hide their emotions if upset?

I do think that would be a bit of a struggle, at least in the beginning of the relationship. Jan already isn't the type of person to open up easily while Nace struggles with feeling safe enough to be vulnerable. They're very considerate of each other tho and they don't pressure the other into talking about their feelings if it's too soon

12: do they have many heated arguments? How do they smooth things over?

This is a lill spoilery because there will be a chapter containing an argument and I don't wanna spoil their way of handling it yet haha But in general, no. Jan is extremely careful not to escalate arguments into fights and Nace is conflict avoidant so a huge fight is unlikely to occur

15: do they always say I love you before leaving?

They're the type of couple to use love confessions more sparingly so I don't see them saying it every time before leaving. Actions are a more meaningful way of showing love to both of them than words anyways

17: who's more likely to pull the other in by the waist and kiss them passionately?

Neither are very likely to do this as they enjoy casual intimacy and don't do big dramatic acts of affection. But I can see Nace picking Jan up in an enthusiastic bear hug and giving him a lill kiss <3

20: choose one song that perfectly describes their relationship

Nothing's Gonna Hurt You Baby-Cigarettes After Sex (the vibes are very much IKEA Jance)

Nothing's gonna hurt you, baby As long as you're with me, you'll be just fine🎶

22: what reminds them of each other?

Jan: Djungelskog/teddy bears in general and the color purple Nace: leather jackets and cats <3

36: who's most likely to fire up the stove at 2AM because the other is hungry

Nace <3 Jan finds it difficult to take care of himself sometimes so it wouldn't be uncommon for him to go to bed on an empty stomach only for Nace to make him some food once he's awoken by Jan's stomach growling

41: which one would take off their jacket and drape it over the other's shoulders?

Jan has the tendency to assume that he'll be fine wearing just a leather jacket instead of a coat lol. Nace will always share his scarf and jacket with him <3

44: who would dance in the kitchen making dinner?

I think they'd dance together :D Cooking is supposed to be kind of a silly relaxing moment for them so if a good tune comes on they'll each do their own groovy moves lol

51: what's a non verbal way they say I love you?

Jan comes to visit Nace at work often to give him kind of a break from an occasionally stressful day which allows Nace to snap out of customer service mode if only for a few minutes. Also he'll take small plain snacks with him in his pocket whenever they go out in case it's hard to find some place to eat

Nace is already very attentive in their day to day life, but if Jan is struggling through a depressive episode, he's got his full attention on his boyfriend. He'll wash Jan's hair when he can't find the energy to do it himself and he'll motivate Jan to go outside at least a few minutes a day. He'll just show Jan even more love than usual and reassures him that he'll stick around even when Jan isn't doing too good mentally

55: do they like watching clouds or star gazing?

They're more into cloud watching <3 They'd definitely point out weird cloud shapes to each other haha

60: who pulls the other closer when they're sleeping?

Jan finds Nace to be super cuddly so he often can't resist just squeezing his big teddy bear against his body. Nace tends to get overheated easily at night tho so the squishing might be met with a dissatisfied whine 😅

For ongoing series, they count as completed if you're up to date, but it's up to you if you want to include a series' shorts/extras (like holiday specials) or not for 'completed'. (So, for example, if you've read the one available chapter of The Deadliest Gambit, then you've "completed" The Deadliest Game, but you decide whether you consider The Nanny Affair as completed if you haven't read The Dalton Affair.)

Full list under cut because why not, but you can just vote for an approximation/your best guess if you'd rather.

(In short, spin-offs like RoE/TRR and HSS/HSS:CA are each counted as their own separate series, TRR/TRH/TRF are all counted as one series, and finally ILitW/ILB and Untameable/Unbridled are counted as the same series respectively)

Summary:

May 1744

He wriggles his toes, feeling his environment. He quickly realises how much his surroundings are constricted, his legs are tightly bound and he is being cradled in someone’s arms. He opens his eyes and sees a woman leaning over him and realises she must be the one holding them. She’s humming softly with a warm and happy smile. He can see that her skin is clammy and there are bruises under her eyes, the eyes that are amber, golden-brown as well as smoky topaz, but that doesn’t dim her smile as she gazes upon the person in her arms. She’s white and her brown hair surrounds her face in messy curls.

Line Upon Line Lesson 052: Not by Our Power

Exodus 2:11-12 - Now it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out to his brethren and looked at their burdens. And he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his brethren. So he looked this way and that way, and when he saw no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.

In many movies about Moses, there is usually a scene where Moses is shocked to learn about his Israelite heritage.  He has to come to grips with the destiny God set before him.  While this story makes for good drama, is it really biblical?

Let’s read together Exodus 2:1-10 and Acts 7:20-22.

‭Contrary to popular belief, Moses grew up aware of his Israelite heritage.  When you read Exodus chapter 2, you find that Pharaoh’s daughter paid Moses’ mother to nurse him.  Moses’ mother raised him for a while before giving him to Pharaoh’s daughter.

Let’s read together Exodus 2:11-13 and Acts 7:23-29.

Moses was trying to show the Israelites he was going to deliver them from the Egyptians by his hand.  Perhaps Moses planned to lead a slave rebellion to overthrow the Egyptians.  

Let’s read together Exodus 2:14-15 and Acts 7:27-29.  

Unfortunately, the Israelites did not rally behind Moses.  Rather than lead an uprising, Moses ran away in fear of his life.  Moses thought he was going to be a revolutionary leader, but he ended up being a lonely exile.

What went wrong for Moses?

Let’s read together Psalm 73:26; Luke 9:54-55; John 15:5; and Philippians 3:4-7.

Moses was zealous for God, but he did not have the right spirit for God.  He tried to raise up the children of Israel on his own power.  Moses failed because he did not wait on the Lord.

Will you learn from Moses’ mistake and put your trust in Jesus first?
