THE UNTOUCHABLE (Eugene x Dongmae fic) [Sex pollen trope, featuring our two favorite lead and second-lead from Mr. Sunshine]

Hanseong was struck by mysterious pollens that inflamed people's desires, causing them to fall prey to their own lust and lose all self-control. As chaos consumed the city, Gu Dong-mae—seemingly the only one unaffected—sought refuge at the American Legation, where Eugene Choi held power and offered protection.

I shot a Black Bird

All this run around has only managed to piss him off. The black shooter on the rooftop is a pain in the ass, being not just an impressive marksman, but also a man of wit. Dongmae turns from the shattered phone, shouting in anger. If the train must leave without him, he may as well just target the shooters of the Righteous Army who are present. Even if he can’t get his hands on the runaway Geisha, he can extract other kinds of information about their organization from them. He runs outside in an instant, racing after the running figure in billowing black.

The man is agile, jumping from rooftops and ducking under obstacles without losing momentum. One of his men shoots at the gunman, only to be struck down in return. Dongmae ducks, snatching up the gun, and keeps running. He’s not exactly good with guns, but he can shoot down a target as large as a man if he aims for the chest. Gauging from the black gunman’s speed, this person is only just hitting their stride. The Righteous Army gunners could run for days, if necessary. Dongmae’s men aren’t runners; they’ll never keep up with the black gunman. If something must be done to capture the black gunner, they’ll have to incapacitate him.

As he runs, chasing him across dizzying twists and turns, Dongmae assessed his surroundings. If he must shoot in this mess of panic, he’ll need higher ground. Spotting a tier of stacked crates and haystacks, Dongmae vaults on up to a neighboring roof. He lands, pulling the rifle up to his chest.

Dongmae’s landing is perfect, he has a direct shot. The world slows as he inhales, the muzzle of the rifle following the black gunman as he runs across a rooftop a building away. Something about this person unsettles him; his grip on the rifle loosens. The gunman raises his head and their eyes meet.

Gu Dongmae feels his blood freeze as recognition filters through. He knows this person, this black gunner; this Righteous Army member. Her eyes have always pierced through him, and he forgets to breathe even as he follows her movements with the rifle.

He doesn’t know what Go Aeshin thinks she is doing, shooting for the Righteous Army. He cannot think, but he must act. Her eyes pass over him, dismissing him, as they always have.

If anyone will catch this black bird, it must be him. No one else can touch her. Resolved, he grips the gun tighter and shifts his focus. Just as she jumps gracefully onto the next roof, he fires. The gunshot echoes funnily in his ears and he flinches when he realizes he hit his target dead on. Aeshin crumbles, rolling down and onto the other side of the rooftop. He rises to his feet and jumps down, running headlong to the street his black bird fell into.

There is nothing but a bloodstain.

When I realise...

[gunsnplums]

Once upon a time there was a boy who was judged by the world in ways that were beyond his control. Everyone was guilty of doing so, except one girl. While the rest of the world chose to view him through the labels that the society imposed, this girl chose to see him as he was – a human.

It’s a tale as old as time, them coming from entirely different worlds – him, the son of a butcher and her, the daughter of an aristocrat.

Finally, a day came when the world around him got fed up and sought to destroy him with all their might. They battered him and bruised him, hunting to finish what they viewed as aberration.

He was ready to welcome death but fate was never easy on him. He was saved… by the girl herself.

The boy now felt indebted to her and made the girl his entire point of existence. Somewhere in his heart, he understood that he was not meant to be alive, that he was on borrowed time. He lived because of her, therefore he lived for her till death claimed him.

(You’d think that fate would perhaps work in their favour and that this story might have a happy ending. The reality, as he knew and understood, was that there weren’t any happy endings. Not for people like him.)

Dong-mae having a crisis over discovering an ambiguously romantic letter from Ae-sin in Eugene’s room, and Eugene being like, “okay this is all very intrusive and intimidating that you’re reading this letter aloud to me but also is that really what it says? just curious.”

(Last night my pen set gave up the ghost so today I opened up the new one I got for Christmas but it had no bold. It’s back to sharpies for me I guess lols.)

It's important to make a strong first impression ;)

I've been rewatching Mr. Sunshine lately and felt inspired to do some art! For this one, the source scene is so dark, it's hard to distinguish what's going on, and I was also at a loss what to do with the background. I considered filling it in with sharpie/pen (too same-y with the foreground) or doing a wash (but the paper wasn't suited for watercolors) before settling on using some colored pencils to create a midtone that would be clearly distinct from the foreground. I pretty much like how it came out :)

Not to be a downer but I really wished we had at least ONE (1) scene between Gu Dong Mae and Yanghwa sword fighting/fencing together

I’m on someone’s payroll, you see. I’m a Joseon man for now, sir.

"Blossoms" - Sunset chapter 4.

They'd made an agreement: when the first blossoms arrived, it would be the day Dong-mae submitted to Eugene.
