Summary: When he woke up, Kim Rok Soo noticed something was different. Very different. Everything seemed... larger. As if he had somehow shrunk in the short amount of time he had fallen into a slumber. And lo and behold, when Kim Rok Soo shook off the remainder of sleep from his foggy head and looked around, he found himself with plump, small limbs, chubby where there were once the muscles that he gradually built up over the years. His hands that were once able to imitate perhaps half of what a decent pen twirl was were now... small. Tiny. Baby fat. Kim Rok Soo was... a chubby baby. (Kim Rok Soo wakes up in the body of an infant—and beside him in the crib, a red-haired baby.)

I have been here since day 1 literally dying because of how well-written your story is! I’m normally not an OC fic reader, but this one literally did a one-eight on all my expectations! I have one question though, it’s okay to ask 👉👈

I’m really curious about the relationship between Jules and our OG!Cale? One point you think he hates her, then we find out he doesn’t AND THEN the last few lines of the fic about the GHOST BRIDE oof?!!!

Have you read through the entire novel? We barely get our belovdd Original Cale, so how did you pin sown this amazing characterization?

omg, thank you for being such a sweetheart! i have read through part 1 and most of what's out there for part 2 (i'm letting the chapters stack for the summer haha to binge read). so don't worry about spoilers and the like! most of jules' story is curated with future spoilers in mind such as jour thames, og!cale, hunters, choi jung gun etc (HUGE SPOILERS FOR THE FIC HEHE).

i will admit though, i haven't read the side stories yet since i'm saving them for a rainy day. i hear that there's a side story about og!cale living as kim rok soo?

as for my characterization of og!cale, i remember being heavily inspired by pendwelling's frame the halves and call them brothers mixed in with my own interpretation based on what we know from the novel. for me, he exists as someone deeply pragmatic (owing to the decision he made to act as trash) and reflective, but still somewhat immature and rough (during his younger years, cue choi han beating him). og!cale is the definition of growth, of evolution with time.

that makes him very realistic, since we as people grow as well over time. i wanted to show that dynamism; between someone thinking they're doing the right thing (such as pushing jules and his family away) interposed with their own conflicting, often time uncontrolled emotions (hence him losing his temper/accidentally hitting jules with the wine bottle).

i never intended on villainizing him in the fic (and i'm sorry if it came across that way). og!cale was a child, he should have been allowed to be as such. i presume if his sense of identity & belonging was rooted more securely in the henituse family, he would have acted like pendwelling's characterization. we already how he acts in canon. as for how he acts with jules' presence in his life, i tried to show some sort of middle ground between the two. he was only grounded as long as jules was there BECAUSE she acted as that bridge for him. so the moment she left to pursue her dreams, it was like og!cale was left behind fixed in time, never to rise higher but only to fall lower.

this is a little spoiler, but inferable through close reading of the fic: og!cale never hated jules, instead, he felt suffocated by the implications of her existence. i theorize that canon og!cale was always a tad too smart for his own good. that perspective allowed him to be suspicious about jules' role in his life as his sworn sword. he felt guilty that her life revolved around him but at the same time, he resented her for not having more self-respect as to rebel against that role (since og!cale would have done something similar if he were in the same position). mix that in with teenage hormones, and you got a mess.

i hope this helps somewhat! please feel free to ask me as many questions as you want! and oh, please give pendwelling some love whenever you can (they're the reason i got into the fandom in the first place!)

#ITS LIT SO FUNNY #twsb and orv share so many core similarities while ALSO being complete opposites and it CRACK ME UP LMFAO #one is on light mode and the other is on dark wEKFJJDLDLDJDKD #kdj had over a decade to ponder the intricacies of WoS which would lead to an 'ideal ending' #yeseo meanwhile has nothing but his sister's sobbing and an endgame couple which he decides is the ending requirement to go back home #(both kdj and yeseo's ideas of a 'perfect ending' dont exactly include themselves) #(just twsb and orv being the same coin in a way but diff sides) #it makes me go crazy how theyre so wildly different but evoke such intense feelings from me LIKE FRRR #ESPECIALLY WITH TWSB BECAUSE ITS SO LIGHTHEARTED IT ACTUALLY DISARMS YOU SO BAD (tags by @pendwelling)

Third Wheel Strikes Back is funny as hell because it's the complete opposite of Omniscient Reader where it's an insanely niche novel and dokja knows every plot point and constantly tries to die for his ten year long hyperfixation on the protagonist meanwhile yeseo/jesse has No Fucking Clue what anything is in this horrendously popular book and has to glean everything from his memories of his sister sobbing over it, and to this day only knows for a fact that he's 1) Going To Die In War and 2) the male lead is an asshole

Summary: "The Devil lives within my younger brother." That was one thing that Wilhelmina knew for certain. —So why, when she finally snapped and pushed Werner down the stairs, did it feel like her younger brother became a whole new person? (In which Jung Yeseo transmigrates into a 10-year-old Werner Venetiaan—formerly Sneijder—and Wilhelmina doesn’t quite know what to make of him.)

Author: @pendwelling

Note from submitter: it's kinda spoilery if you've never read the novel but digs deep into the dynamic between wilhelmina and her brother (both before and then with yeseo) in a way that's very well written

CONTRIBUTOR SPOTLIGHT

Introducing our next contributor, Pen, they are working as an Artist!

Twt/IG/Tumblr: @pendwelling​  @pendwelling-art​

[illusionsofdreaming]

Hello! Do you have any TCF fic recs?

Unfortunately I do not have an extensive list of TCF fics to recommend because TCF is one of the rare few fandoms I’m still navigating myself trying to find what really is my jam. I don’t particularly ship anyone at the moment (hahaha oh the irony of being a reader imagine writer) and so you’ll find that all the fics recommended lean more towards character studies and platonic relationships than romance. Because honestly, those are the fics that I’ll always dig. ( ´ ▽ ` ).｡ｏ♡

and so without further ado.. my list...

“and so he coughs flowers made out of blood” by @sudenishindeiru (AO3) immediately comes to mind when someone asks me for TCF fic recs. Anyone who is a fan of the Hanahaki disease trope will definitely enjoy this fic. For those new to the trope, it’s literally a disease that takes form when the victim suffers from one-sided love. Cale our drama queen loves taking things to the next level and is actually dying because he can’t get his slacker life. It sounds like crack-fic but it’s not. It’s a deep and moving study into KRS’s character and how he pushes through the pain of distancing himself from his dreams to make the world a slightly better place. It’s truly a poetic piece and everyone should read it. And no worries. Cale gets his happy ending.

“Hello Author, NPC Cale is Suffering“ also by sudenishindeiru is a more lighthearted piece and on the fun side. If you know Pokemon then you’ll also enjoy this cute crossover fic where Cale transmigrates into the game as a NPC and still struggles to find a peaceful life.

Honestly, I’d recommend any TCF fics by sudenishindeiru! They have great writing style and have many amazing TCF fic ideas rolling about on their blog.

“Found Family” by @o0phylyra0o (AO3) is a short oneshot piece that can be treated as a character study of Kim Rok Soo. Just the right amount of angst and fluff that’s easy to read.

I rarely read AO3 fics that aren’t completed but I’ve come across @pendwelling‘s (AO3) fic “frame the halves and call them brothers” which is a retelling of TCF with both OG!Cale and KRS!Cale as twin brothers. Their characterisation is on-point and I’m looking forward to seeing where they’ll take the story. (not only can they write but they also draw???? what more can you really ask for honestly? godsend to the fandom)

If you’re waiting for Reader Insert recommendations.. unfortunately one of the reasons why I have started writing for TCF was because I couldn’t find any Reader Inserts for TCF ( ╥ω╥ ) please tell me if you guys know of any other tcf reader insert writers

That’s all that I can think of from the top of my head.. I’ll add more if I remember any (￣～￣;)

As always, please feel free to pitch in your own recommendations for the fandom! I’d like to know what everyone reads as well! o(≧▽≦)o I honestly should be the one asking for fic recommendations instead..
