the world never stops turning (55k) by shadowsinsounds

Summary:

“What are you?” Taehyung blinked at the sudden question. The handcuffs on his wrist rattled hollowly in the tiny interrogation room as he leaned forward to peer at the pile of photographs scattered on the table. He didn't dare answer. He didn't need to do Detective Jeon Jungkook's job for him. No policeman had ever caught on to Taehyung, and he planned to keep it that way. This detective immediately proved harder to shake than most. In more ways than one. Damn it.

Hello~ I was curious if you have a Twitter? I don’t have tumblr but am interested in following you and keeping up when you write so I figured I’d ask just in case I missed it 🥺 happy new year!!! Hope you have a great year 💗

hi love !! so i do not have a twitter, i sadly find social media to be really exhausting lol so tumblr is it for me. and i know i'm not too active in posting to my blog but i tend to check tumblr liiiike every other day ? just to scroll and see interesting things. so feel free to shoot me messages! and i'll continue to post updates on my writings which yes i'm struggling with lately lol.

...that being said here's a blurb from my current WIP:

-

Namjoon guided the ancient secondhand sedan off of the main drag onto a more familiar narrow street, aching for the familiar scents of his den. This time of night the whole pack would be home and cozied up together. Maybe it was time for a nest, he idly wondered, unable to remember the last time they had the opportunity, and opened his mouth to mention it to Seokjin when a small black shape hurtled out of a nearby alley and sprawled on the street, directly in the path of his tires.

“Shit!” he shouted, and cut the wheel as he braked, hard, tires squealing as the car skidded to a stop, half on the sidewalk. He could hear Seokjin anxiously shouting his name, voice tinny from the speaker of the cell phone that had fallen to the passenger seat.

He snatched up the phone, said hurriedly, “I’m okay, I’m fine, there was something in the road—” and his words died as the lump of fur twitched and rolled around. A pair of yellow eyes glared up at him in defiance of the headlights.

“Oh my god, hyung,” he breathed into the receiver.

“What?” demanded Seokjin. “Joonie, what is going on—”

“I’ll call you back,” he interrupted hurriedly, and threw the phone aside.

Hi! Thank you for all the work you put into this blog you’re a truly one a my fav people bc 90% of the fics I read come from you*u* anyways I was wondering if you had some good ABO? Preferably longer and ot7 with some angst sprinkled in- I know that’s kinda specific so anything you’ve got that’s similar i’m sure i’d love :)

sigh. once again, another ABO collection for you insatiable beasts:

ABO/Werewolf AU

the other side of earth by shadowsinsounds (E, 38k words, college and texting au, fluff and smut)

Summary: The guy was tiny, grumpy and hot, carrying an attitude like he was eight feet tall. Jungkook wanted, with a sudden furious fervor, to be pinned down and taken apart. By him.

Jungkook didn't know much, but at least he could now confirm beyond a shadow of a doubt that he was not heterosexual.

Now what?

just called to say I love you by orphan_account (E, 12k words, abo au, friends to lovers, pining, fluff, and smut)

Summary: Yoongi isn't like Jeongguk's brother's other alpha friends and Jeongguk is secretly sort of really in love with him.

Hi! I just finished reading crystal snow and couldn't stop myself from coming here to thank you :). Tbh, I'm not big on a/b/o (it's just not for me), but oh man. Your fic ticked all the boxes for me. It's an absolute experience. The fantastical elements, the drama, the emotions, the pack feels. Thank you giving me something so immersive that takes the brain away from real world problems for a while lol. You writing is lovely, I hope you get appreciated enough :). Please never stop! Kisses <3

this is one of the best compliments i’ve ever gotten, hands down. the fact that my lil story about our boys in the woods gives you some reprieve from all the insanity in the world lately means the absolute world to me <3 thank you so so much for the lovely message. hope you’re well !!!

black versus blue

AO3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/14805297/chapters/34255569

Author: shadowsinsounds

Rating: Explicit

Relationships: Jeon Jungkook/Kim Taehyung

Status: Completed

Chapters: 12/12 (41138 words)

Tags: Soulmate AU

Summary:

Taehyung had always dreaded meeting his soulmate, unlike the rest of the world’s population. He always hid the words scrawled in black cursive on the inside of his right wrist and felt terror at the thought of them turning blue, of his soulmate speaking them.

And as he sprinted down the packed Seoul sidewalk, hot tears streaming down his cheeks and sobs choking his throat, he knew he'd been right.

Or was he?

I sent an ask about 10 days ago for some new plot heavy taekook (like friends to lovers or enemies to lovers long fics, with smut if possible any au or non au) as I've read all your recs so far and I dont know if tumblr ate it or if your ask box is so full you haven't gotten to it yet. If this is doubling up please ignore! Thank you so much for all you do!

Hey - I’m unsure whether I answered your previous ask, so I’ll give you some fics anyway! :)

Summary: college is hard. college swimming is even harder. but for jeongguk, denying that he's falling in love with the one (1) guy he's supposed to hate is the hardest thing yet.

Summary: Suddenly the wind all but screamed. Snow pelted the roof like fury, and the cabin went dark.

“Okay.” Taehyung blew out a long breath, and nodded decisively. “Okay. This is fine. You can handle this.”

Something scratched at the back door.

He yelped, flailed, and somehow managed to knock the pile of firewood over.

Yep. Totally handled.

Summary:

Yoongi may have been an alpha, but his wolf was a sleepy creature, not prone to rousing itself unnecessarily. But the dejected male omega sitting beside him, soaked in whiskey but even the alcohol unable to disguise the gentle honey and pear tones of his scent, had Yoongi’s wolf paying close attention.

“Do you have anywhere to go?” asked Yoongi quietly.

Tears started welling in Jimin’s eyes.

    (Basically, Jimin needs help and Yoongi rescues him. A lot. Because Jimin is a smol struggling bean and Yoongi is not-so-secretly soft for the omega.)

---------

My Review and Rec:

This Yoonmin fic was posted about 2 1/2 years ago and currently holds over 4,000 kudos, so you know it must be good.

And it IS! 

It’s fluffy in the fluffiest way and made me smile the whole time I was reading it. 

There is some angst, but it involves Jimin’s past (and Taehyung’s too) and there is a part where Taehyung is in a situation where he is taken advantage of (not actual rape but it is implied that it would have happened had it not been thwarted in time), but we get to see how Yoongi becomes the hero, and it’s just steeped in sweetness. My heart was so happy to watch the Alpha and Omega bond form between these two.

I’d mentioned in one of my Namjin fic reviews that I’m not usually into the whole A/O/B thing but it was really interesting to read it in this fic. I learned more about it and I honestly really love the whole protective alpha thing, especially with the side Taekook that was happening. Let me just say, the side Taekook and side Namjin in this fic was SO GOOD! And there was LOTS of it.

The fic doesn’t dive into anything real deep or extensively detailed. It gets right to the point of wanting to show how quickly the alpha and omega bond can form when it is meant to be. This fic could have easily been twice as long, because the writing it SUPERB and I would have loved to read a really flushed out fic, but regardless of being just a little over 24,000 words, it worked as a short and sweet story that makes you warm and fuzzy all over at the end.

Bottomline: A very sweet, romantic and happy Yoonmin alpha/omega fic that I could easily find myself reading again and again.
