How To Pay For Rent 💸 by fictionfeast
Ship: Logan | Worst Wolverine/Wade Wilson (i still can't believe this is the ship name, they actually put worst wolverine as a specification. it's such a unique dynamic and relationship that we NEED that differentiation. amazing.)
To pay for rent, Logan and Wade take odd jobs on Craigslist.
(listen, LISTEN. just from the fact craiglist is involved, you KNOW it's gonna be off the walls crack and hilarity. i swear, this fic went in directions i never in a million years would've predicted, it's amazing. the voices for these characters are impeccable and i, too, would like to shake deadpool like a snowglobe so some goddamn honestly will barf out. logan, you have my sympathies. please read, i'm literally going insane.)
shattered glass by anarkissed
Ship: Logan | Worst Wolverine/Wade Wilson
At first, Wade is pretty sure it all starts with the bullet- the one Logan had held in his teeth and spit out like it was a prize.
Or maybe it starts in the Honda Odyssey.
Or maybe it had started way back with Logan's smile. That first sardonic one when they'd met.
Or maybe it's the way Logan is always staring at him.
Or maybe-
"I think you're enjoying this too much."
"Maybe you're not enjoying it enough."
It’s more bite than kiss, more claim than caress, but it’s their mouths connecting all the same, and Wade gasps, hoarsely, as blood wells up from his lips and Logan tongues it away like it’s his god-given right. Oh, oh oh, oh- he’s crazy. He’s so crazy. Wade has never wanted anyone so badly in his entire life.
Wade tries to figure out where whatever he has with Logan started. (And he's kind of hoping he never has to see how it ends.)
Part 1 of dying engine (poolverine/deadclaws)
(i'm not fucking kidding when i say this is my favorite d&w fic. i want to gnaw this in my mouth and develop vampire canines as i sharpen them every fucking reread. there are passages here that i reread like a fucking lunatic and i use the find in page option for the word 'crazy' just so i can go to my favorite part. and the fact there's a freaking part 2? that has logan's pov in it??? and it makes me feel just as unhinged??? it makes me want to go apeshit. please read. for the love of god.)
how easy you are to need by Patricia_Sage
Ship: Logan | Worst Wolverine/Wade Wilson
Wade smiles when the doctor opens the door. "Hi, we have a vet appointment at 2:00. Please tell me he doesn't have rabies because I have been scratched and bitten plenty."
***
Logan gets treatment for adamantium poisoning. Wade helps.
Part 2 of he has risen, babygirl
(i fucking CACKLED reading this, omfg. also, wade's version of helping is both sweet and freaking hilarious, i love this idiot so much. and this fic! addresses the fact logan probably has ptsd medical trauma and i love that. it's hardly ever addressed and i appreciate how it's shown here. also, it's a series! part 1 is great too, you don't need to read it to understand part 2 though, dw.)
Void by RovingOtter
Ship: Logan | Worst Wolverine/Wade Wilson
After a week without contact, Logan leaves Wade a weird voicemail.
(i'm religiously checking in on this for updates. i know the summary doesn't say anything, so i'll say it here. logan becomes aware of the fourth wall and it's so fascinating??? a genuine look on what happens if the wolverine becomes aware that he's a fictional character and the exploration of that premise here is *chefs kiss* delicious. and how wade reacts to it and how they both deal with the aftermath of this development is so interesting and god, i NEED to know how this fic will go. genuinely one of those fics that have a premise i've never thought about before and it's GLORIOUS!)
where soul meets body by Edgebug
Ship: Logan | Worst Wolverine/Wade Wilson
"I'll probably see you around?"
"Probably not," Logan says, something in his spine still shaking even now, and Wade looks at him with those huge dark eyes that look--hurt, maybe, heartbroken, and Logan knows he has to get up and leave before he can't.
Each step is agony increasing, the thing in his spine trembling ever-harder and then Wade calls his name and he stops, turns, sees those eyes again; pleading, desperate.
A rush of emotion slams into his hindbrain, it feels half foreign and half his own; don't do this can't do this without you please stay please stay stay stay stay let me stay stay stay
"Come home with me," Wade blurts out, and Logan finds that he's taken steps toward Wade without realizing it, closing the yawning gap between them, and the thing in his spine relaxes just a little.
"Okay," he says.
(In which something very interesting happens underneath the Time Ripper, and Wade and Logan deal with the aftermath.)
(they vulcan mind melded and now can't live without the other. i just love this author's writing and i read every one of their d&w fics. i'm in love with their characterization of not just d&w but the rest of the cast as well! and the banter and genuinely fun interactions between d&w has me kicking my feet and giggling like a school girl. please read, i totally recommend this fic and the rest of the author's other fics XD)
your fool in this game for two by abillionstars
Ship: Logan | Worst Wolverine/Wade Wilson
“Have you ever lived with anyone before?”
At Wade’s question, Logan pauses to think. Scratches his balls for a second, and says, “I lived at Xavier’s school for a while, before I left. Lived in a clapboard boarding house about seventy years back. A couple of times, I slept in a park with other people nearby. Do those count?”
“That was a rhetorical question,” says Wade. “Some might even call it an accusatory one. Mostly because—dude. I’m a fucking mess. But you’re even worse.”
(two loser loners, falling in love.)
(this is crack. the peak of romance, the very height of big squishy feelings. it's perfect. god, i am utterly trash for this fic, it's so fucking good fnewiofpew)
Love You All Over by FinelyDressedSpacemen
Ship: Logan | Worst Wolverine/Wade Wilson
The bad guys have love spells now, apparently. Logan gets nailed. Wade tries not to.
With great power over your sexiest friend comes great emotional responsibility.
(where wade tries his best to respect logan and logan makes this, so freaking hard for him lmao. lovesick logan is truly the most flirty version of wolverine and it's incredible. it's like if hugh jackman himself is trying to romance the shit out of you. wade really is the stronger person, incredible. anyway, this was a joy to read and if you like musicals, this is definitely for you <3)
I'm the worst at what I do by Thestarvedghost
Ship: Logan | Worst Wolverine/Wade Wilson
Logan finds out from Wade after everything is said and done, universes saved and friends met, that most hims across the multiverse have some sort of memory issue, one way or another.
Logan wishes he was that fucking lucky. He remembers it all.
Part 1 of No end and no beginning
(i recommend this entire series, the progression on d&w's relationship has me singing! it's so sweet and fluffy! well, as fluffy as 2 murderous, self-hating bastards can be anyway lol.)

interchange by fangirl_squee
Fandom: Fantasy High
Oh, the Bad Kids? Yeah, in that group they have [checks notes] a pirate cleric, a goblin bard, a Helioic fighter, an elven barbarian, a tiefling rogue, and a half-orc wizard.
(it's so interesting how different yet the same the bad kids are even with their class changes. man, the idea of fabian being a freaking cleric still makes me want to cackle. he'd be so much more Exasperated by the bad kids, especially freshman fabian X'D. also barbarian adaine has my whole fucking heart.)

Fandom: Fantasy High
Ship: Riz Gukgak/Fabian Aramais Seacaster
When Fabian is ten, his Papa tells him the story of how he married his mother.
It’s a gory tale, one that involves a cut eye and bodies hitting the deck. He tells Fabian of a love that sent him to his knees, that leads a man like him– fearsome and powerful, the greatest pirate to ever live– to start a family.
A love that gave him Fabian.
---
A study on Fabian, grief, and, ultimately— love.
(an exploration on fabian's idea of what love is. god, it's so well written. i love this fic and absolutely recommend it! <3)

Fandom: Fantasy High
Ships: Fabian/everyone (but all unrequited)
His ex-fling’s little sister. Two people in committed relationships who also happen to be in the same mega famous rock band. A heartbroken lesbian who doesn’t want to be involved with men in any way. And Riz fucking Gukgak.
Fabian Aramais Seacaster, son of Bill Seacaster, finds himself falling for all of his friends.
(seeing the bad kids through fabian's eyes made me realize why the bad kids would be considered attractive to people who know them! it's so sweet how much fabian cares and pays attention to them and the constant feeling of 'oh no oh no' both made me want to laugh and coo at him lmao)

This is what Ayda has spent her entire life searching after. This is what she built the friendship section in the library in hopes of, what she spent long, lonely nights dreaming of. A night with a friend, a true friend, laughing and talking about nothing in particular.
[or, ayda finds friends in the bad kids]
(ayda has friends! ayda has frieeenndss!! i'm so so in love with her and this fic is so fluffy and sweet! gah, instant shot of endorphins, guarantee!)

Ship: Binx Choppley/Captain K. P. Hob
The enemy of my enemy is kind of my friend. Or something.
(i'm always a sucker for rare pairs and man, this is something i didn't even know i wanted. i love how slowly and carefully they build trust in each other, especially binx who is so secretive and initiated this relationship in the first place. by the end, i completely bought this ship and the potential for it.)
I've walked a fragile line and I've fallen down by jadeandquartz
Fandom: A Crown of Candy
Anger is burning in Lapin’s chest. It is bitter, and it is bloody, and it shines brighter than any Bulb the church might care to invent.
Normally, he leaves his emotions be. He cannot afford to let feelings drive him forwards. Remaining logical is the only safe way to play the game of politics - and if you do not play it safe, you die. And if you die, then what was the point?
But nothing about their predicament is normal. So, fuck playing the game safely. Fuck that.
The world will not play safe with the lives of those he loves.
***
In which Belizabeth Brassica is looking for a heretic, and Lapin confesses to his apostasy to protect the House of Rocks.
(one of the first crown of candy fics i read and i never looked back. lapin survive stories makes me so feral and god i love this cantankerous bunny so so much fnewiofewp)
to leave this all behind (halo round his head) by grumpyhedgehogs
Fandom: A Crown of Candy
Lapin blinks slowly at Brassica as she steps up to the bars of his cell, the guards splitting around her like so much water over a stone. He inclines his head, trying for regal and probably failing.
“Heretic.” Her voice grates against his eardrums. “You have awakened.”
“Zealot. You haven’t killed me.” Lapin replies, dry.
(another, much longer fic where lapin survives and i'm so in love with how much detail and fantastic characterization this fic has, not just for lapin but for the whole cast! the day i stop loving the lapin survives trope is the day i die.)

I'll be Homeward Bound in Time by clandestinegardenias
Ship: Francis Crozier/James Fitzjames
Back in the Arctic, stuffed two to a sleeping sack and trying to keep each other alert, he and James used to name every good type of thing they would eat when they got back, knowing–as they thought–the time would never come.
'Cream puffs', James had sighed one frigid night in a partial feverish delirium. Francis could hardly see him but for the lightest starlight, yet he had heard the smile evident in his voice all the same. That close, he had nearly felt it.
---
Hailed as heroes on their miraculous return to England, Francis and James fail to cope, but nonetheless manage to fall together.
(i love how warm they are here, how clearly these two depend on one another and find joy despite the fact london is trying it's best to stamp out this closeness. post-rescue is always such an interesting time where they get to reflect and be traumatized by what happened in the arctic and the lack of understanding that is found when they go home. it's done so well here and man, i just love these two together. the ship that sails their ships lmao)
death is a sailing ship by Maleann
Ship: Francis Crozier/James Fitzjames
"James had died knowing that his heart, the core of his very being that no biographer would ever know, would carry on in Francis Crozier. Would be protected, cherished even, because Francis deemed him worthy of such care.
Oh, how he had loved Francis then. He had been at peace with this being his last living thought.
It’s his only thought now. In this undead life, his love has nowhere to go."
___
James Fitzjames wakes up in the Afterlife. It looks strangely similar to his cabin on Erebus.
(Updated with amazing artwork by Marella!)
(the fic is so!! kind!!! to all its characters! and fitzjames is in full form here, i love how it's him that's trying so hard to take care of his men, despite sir john and his lack of empathy. to have fitzjames damn what is proper and trying to do his best as always even in the freaking afterlife, god. you can just see how much fitzjames changed from the beginning of the show to his end in this fic. how all the characters changed, really. every character here is given room to heal and face the consequences of their actions and there were moments that it seriously made me cry. this is my fave fic in this entire list, it just does an amazing job of showing compassion to all its characters and i love it.)
there but for the grace of- by TheGoodDoctor
Ship: Francis Crozier/James Fitzjames
“I wish you would stop being such a martyr,” a languid voice says quietly, drawling as well as a man can with two missing molars and a glassy, bloodshot eye, leaking all the while from open chest wounds. Francis is rather impressed with his dedication to the role, somewhere under the roil of fury and exhaustion. “You know as well as I do that you could have this bed sometimes, if it didn’t suit you to stomp about with blacked eyes and a put-upon expression.”
“And what should we do with you all the while, Commander,” he says, all on a great sigh, “wrap you in sailcloth already? Come, man, you’re either well enough to cease bleeding on my sheets or too ill to get out of them, you can’t have it both ways.”
“Francis,” Ross began, “I did not undertake to accept the position of second on Franklin’s expedition for you, as you asked.”
(this fic scratched a brain itch i didn't even know i had. it's so interesting to think about, the idea of crozier not being on the expedition and instead being the person who rescues them instead. fitzjames and crozier actually developing a relationship based on this premise, without the shared trauma, is so so intriguing to me and i wish i had more of this. also, the fact crozier is so much more mentally healthier than canon due to ross makes me want to laugh and cry. god, if only.)
out of the sea came he, still hid in mist by dazydaisy for shortcrust
Ship: Francis Crozier/James Fitzjames
You make bargains you cannot keep. You make promises you plan to break. You give things that are not yours to give.
(a haunting, magical realism fic that feels like a gothic fairy tale. exactly my kind of fic! and if it's yours? definitely a good read *thumbs up*)
At Civil Twilight by lieutenant_iceberg
“Well,” said Francis. “Jopson, will you see what you can do with this three-year-old peace offering? A cup for each of us, and one for you.”
“Sir,” said Jopson, collecting one of the bags. “You’ll be up all night if you take coffee now.”
“I’ll be up all night anyway. Go, Jopson, go.”
When he was gone, Francis got up from the table, and they stared into the depths of the bag together. Finally, Francis cleared his throat and said, “All right, then, James. How have you fared since I hit you?”
A few days after Carnivale, Crozier and Fitzjames make a faltering attempt to talk things over.
Part 1 of Civil Twilight
(oooh, the very start of their friendship! how to make peace when their entire relationship is based on animosity and contempt! the dialogue and characterization of these two in this series is so good and i absolutely recommend!)
rebuilding by wildcard_47 for 20thcenturyvole
Ship: Francis Crozier/James Fitzjames
Once they stepped ashore, a fey dark-haired man burst through the crowd a few heads down from Jane Franklin. When Fitzjames saw his brother, he startled, and when Will surged forward in the first press of the crowds around the returned—elfin face wet with tears as he swept James into a fierce embrace—only then did Fitzjames release his grip on Francis’s arm.
Only then did Francis feel as if he could step away at last.
Written for the 2023 Fall Fitzier Exchange, for the prompt: "Post-canon AU where, once they get home, Crozier and Fitzjames are riddled with guilt and trauma, and deal with their feelings by throwing themselves into caring for the surviving men..."
(i'm always so fascinated by post-rescue stories that actually deal with the aftermath, the logistics of it all. how the characters struggle to handle their own traumas, how they help one another through their experiences, all of it. and how both crozier and fitzjames step up for their men even now, even when they're no longer captains in the arctic and have to deal with london and all it's trappings. this fic handles all that so very well, i love it <3)
As Bullet Speaks to Gun by pointyshades
Ship: Francis Crozier/James Fitzjames, Thomas Jopson/Edward Little
Against all odds, they are rescued. Cornelius Hickey is court-martialed for his mutiny, and the whole mess of the expedition is unfurled in front of the public. With their names being dragged through the mud, Francis Crozier and James Fitzjames reach out to each other. Meanwhile, Thomas Jopson seeks revenge for what he believes is his captain's betrayal, and Edward Little tries to come to terms with the truth.
(yes!! edward little my beloved gets to shine here! and jopson is so bitter and angry and messy, it's great! again, i love fics that tackle what would happen post-rescue and how london would react to it. the trials, both actual and mental, they have to face in order to move on and be happy (oh please oh please) is handled expertly and i love it! crozier/fitzjames ship is a little more background in this fic compared to jopson/little, but honestly? i'm so sucked into the latter ship that it doesn't matter. both ships are written very well here and again, my beloved edward little is glorious in this fic and i love it! you go edward! woohoo!!!)
Principles of Magnetism (a Comedy of Manners) by acaramelmacchiato
Ship: Francis Crozier/James Fitzjames
The one where they're married but it's still Victorian times and also it's an accident.
(you don't understand, this fic is so fucking funny. it's so goddamn victorian and sir john is so jane-austen-silly-characters coded. i want to both shake his hand for making this premise happen in the first place, and punch him in his punchable face. and crozier is perfectly characterized here, i can visually picture his disgruntled expressions so clearly in my mind, it's incredible.)
Thaw by orphan_account
Ship: Francis Crozier/James Fitzjames, Past Captain Francis Crozier/Sophia Cracroft
Courteous, charming Fitzjames, whittled down to maturity by the North, and being there, very obviously, not as Francis's right-hand man or as his comrade, but as his mate; a soulmate. Sophia had no need to look at Francis’s face, at the discoloration that would have turned one of his blue eyes into the good-coffee brown of Fitzjames's, to know it, so blatant and luminous a thing it was.
Part 1 of A Victorian Soulmate AU
(very interesting fic where one can choose their soulmates, choose who they want to bond with for life. and the fact it's sophia's pov and how she deals with this fact is handled so carefully and full of goodwill. it makes me want to applaud. i love how clear it is that they're grown ass adults willing to discuss and make peace with one another because they're all genuinely good people who want happiness both for others and themselves. this fic feels like a flower that you hold in your hands to admire it's beauty and delicacy.)
And It Is Now, And It Is Here by 20thcenturyvole, pointyshades
Ship: Francis Crozier/James Fitzjames
Before the ships are trapped in the ice, James Fitzjames sees a terrible vision of the future, a harbinger of his own death.
Before the ships are trapped in the ice, Francis Crozier is visited by a tender apparition, an angel wearing James Fitzjames' face.
They are both seeing the same vision. Whether they can heed its warning is another matter entirely.
(when the ghost of your future haunts you, you better believe it changes to the plot. i love the dichotomy of how crozier and fitzjames reacts to ghost fitzjames! it's so interesting and i was on the edge of my seat the entire time i read this. if you want to know how it all ends, please read! i promise this fic is a ride you want to get on.)
Waistcoats! or, Life Before the Passage by sadsparties
Ship: Francis Crozier/James Fitzjames, Lady Ann Ross/Sir James Clark Ross, Lt Henry T. D. Le Vesconte/Original Character
Commander James Fitzjames of the Royal Navy is the Best Man that a best friend could ever ask for. A chance meeting forces him to share his arctic expedition duties with one Captain Francis R. M. Crozier, and perhaps other duties as well.
(listen, the terror is a horror show and i both want and need lighthearted fics in order to deal with all the horrors lol. but seriously, this fic was genuinely just fun to read and i love the banter and slowly developing friendship and relationship between crozier and fitzjames! truly the romantic comedy fic in this fandom. XD)

• Alpträume (German, nightmares)
Warnings: nightmares, talks about trauma & killing, magical rituals, she is all sappy with them, Yoongi is so loved, i fucking can’t anymore, this chapter made me cry so hard istfg, he is so loved!, Yoongi *jumps into lava*, he needs to be fucking stopped, I don’t want him anymore, I do but omfg please STOP MIN YOONGI
Wordcount: 10.9k
a/n: idk what to say anymore i just want them to be happy
The air is burning you. You can’t breathe. You feel helpless. Alone. Scared. The shadow is staring at you. There in the corner. Its eyes are white. The body is blacker than the night. Unmoving. Stalking. Watching. Observing.
There.
You feel danger seeping from it. It is not your friend. You feel it.
Stalking. Watching. Observing.
“Hello?” you call out to it.
The eyes appear and disappear in slow blinks.
“What do you want from me?” you ask it.
It disappears only to appear closer to you.
You can’t move away. It is coming closer and you can’t move away.
“Please leave me alone.”
Blink. Blink. Blink.
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry I didn’t want to kill you”, you sob, “please leave me alone.”
The shadow disappears and appears right in front of you.
“No!” you exclaim, pushing at it only to push air instead. You woke up, but still feel as if you are dreaming. You sit up.
Lights turn on.
“It’s okay, I’m here”, Yoongi says, hurrying to your side inhumanly fast. He places his hands on your arm, looking at you with worried eyes, “I’m here now, love.”
“Yoongi”, you press out, letting out a little sob afterwards. You even press your eyes closed, sinking in on yourself.
“It’s okay, nothing can hurt you anymore”, he whispers, hugging you against his chest. He sways your bodies from side to side, “you’re okay now.”
“I’m not okay, I’m so scared”, you hiccup, shaking in his arms.
“I know, but I’m here now. I’ll keep you safe.”
“I can’t take it anymore. I can’t sleep without having nightmares. I’m so scared.”
“I know love, I know. Fuck princess, I’m so sorry this is happening to you”, he says, cradling you against him tighter. He kisses the crown of your head, resting his cheek on it afterwards, “should I make you dream again? Nice ones about your plants, how does that sound?” he offers.
“No, please don’t make me go back to sleep, please”, you beg him.
“Okay, you don’t have to. Come on, let’s take a walk”, he says, picking you up from bed to carry you out of the room.
He only sets you down so you can put on your shoes and he can close your coat neatly. He gives you his beanie, pulling it over your ears to keep you warm.
He was actually on his way out for a quick hunt when he sensed your distress. He realised that he began sensing it ever since a few weeks. It only really works up to a certain distance before it stops, but if you are still close enough to him, he feels a heavy lump of unease in his chest whenever you are in any sort of distress. He hurried back to you the second this lump began to form and arrived just when you woke. The room reeked of fear as he stumbled into it.
You still smell of it even now, outside and far away from bed. You are clutching him so tightly it feels as if you were scared that he might disappear.
Yoongi has his arm draped around you, keeping you safe.
“Is this real?” you ask him.
“Yes princess, this is real”, he promises you.
“I woke up so many times lately only to realise that I was still dreaming. I don’t know what’s real anymore.”
“This is real, princess. I’m real”, he takes your hand to place it on his chest.
You and him stop right under a streetlamp.
“This lamp is real”, he says, guiding your hand to it. The metal feels cold and wet on your palm, “feel it?”
You nod your head.
“Describe it to me.”
“It’s cold and wet.”
“Good job. Now how many fingers am I holding up”, he says, lifting his hand. There are eight fingers on his hand.
The shadow is behind him.
“No. No. Nononono. Please.”
“Princess, wake up”, Yoongi’s voice reaches you.
You flinch and wake. The lights are turned on. Yoongi is hovering over you with his hands clasping your face. He is frowning in worry.
“Hey there, hey”, he whispers, wiping your tears away, “I’m here now. You’re safe.”
“Please leave me alone”, you beg, sobbing in pure fear. This isn’t real again. This is just another dream. Any second now and the shadow will appear. “Please, I’m so sorry. Please leave me alone, I’m so sorry.”
“It’s okay, my love. You’re not dreaming anymore.”
“You said that before”, you choke out between sobs, shaking your head weakly.
“But it’s the truth. Trust me.”
You shake your head.
“Then ask me something. Something only I can know.”
You look at him, sniffling like crazy.
Yoongi smiles reassuringly, caressing your cheek.
“Did..did I i-invite you inside instantly?” you know that the real Yoongi will know what you mean by the cryptic question.
“No, you didn’t. You wanted to water your plants, that’s why we were at your place. In the hallway, we quarrelled about whether or not we should attack Alpha and then you pretended not to invite me inside.”
“And then?”
“Well, eventually you did and I ended up pressing you against the door and telling you not to play with me.”
“What did you knee do?”
“It was between your legs.”
“Yoongi”, you press out, eyes filling with relieved tears.
“It’s me, it’s your Yoongi Boongie”, he says softly, wiping your tears away the second they roll down your face.
“My Yoongi Boongie”, you whisper, reaching up to cup his face, “you’re actually here.”
“Yes my princess, I’m here”, he assures you, leaning down to kiss your forehead, “you’re safe now.”
“I’m so, so s-scared”, you stutter, shaking in fear.
“I know, I can smell it. You don’t have to be anymore, I’m keeping you safe.”
Yoongi watches with a heavy heart as you continue to shake. He hurts for you. He doesn’t want you to suffer.
“Should we leave the room for a little? Put some distance between all of this?”
You nod your head, letting him pull you to your feet. He dresses you in one of his hoodies to keep you warm then guides you outside.
The hallways of Fredrick’s mansion are narrow and long. Darkness hangs in the air and the silence is deafening. You are shivering like crazy, clutching Yoongi as if your life depended on it. The hallways are so dark. This is like in your dream. Dark corridors, silence and shadows waiting to get to you. Panic fills your veins. This is your dream. You are still dreaming.
“No”, you press out, suddenly refusing to move, “no please don’t. No.”
Yoongi, who felt you begin to fight him, turns to you. You are trying to get out of his hold, leaning all of your weight into it.
“No! Leave me alone, please!”
“Hey, my love”, he says, taking your hands, “you’re safe.”
“No, this is- no please”, you beg, fighting him so roughly that he stumbles into you.
“Careful”, he says.
“I don’t want to do this anymore, please. I’m sorry”, you beg. Your eyes are glued to the dark hallway. Any second now and the shadow will appear. Suzy is coming. You can sense it. You fight him harder, stumble away, “please don’t do this, please.”
“___”, he says and cradles your face, tilting it so you are looking at him and only him. His eyes are widened, racing between yours quickly, “look at me.”
“I’m sorry, please believe me.”
“My lovely, hey”, Yoongi gives your cheeks a soft squeeze, “you’re safe and nothing will hurt you right now.”
His voice is loud. Not because he is yelling at you or is in any way angry at you, but because he needs you to hear him. You reek of such intense fear that Yoongi’s stomach twists. He never smelled such dark and sickening anxiety on you.
“She’ll come for me”, you choke out, shaking like crazy.
Yoongi shakes his head vigorously.
“Nobody will come for you. You’re with me now. You’re safe. You’re awake. And I’m here now. Please listen to me, I’m here”, he assures you, pulling your face closer until he can kiss your forehead gently, “I’m here. You’re awake with me.”
You exhale and with it return to him. All it took was that one contact. That one whisper. That one touch. You are with him again. Yoongi can smell it too. You are still anxious and scared but at least you aren’t consumed by it anymore.
“Yoongi”, you choke out, sobbing so quietly it borders a whimper. Like that of a puppy being hurt.
“Talk to me if you can. What’s scary right now?” he speaks gently, running his thumbs back and forth on your temples. No magic is used. He doesn’t need to, because you’ll always be able to find comfort in his presence.
“The, the darkness.”
“Mhm I see. It’s really dark, isn’t it?” he says and kisses the slope of your nose, “we can go back to the room if you want to.”
“No, please don’t make me go back.”
“I won’t, my love. So we’ll continue here, yeah?”
“I’m scared.”
“I know, but I’m here. We just have to go downstairs and to the kitchen and then we’ll have light again. Can you do that?”
“I don’t know”, you move your head so you can look into his eyes. Tears roll down your cheeks, “I’m so scared.”
“Okay, I understand”, he speaks gently, “then close your eyes and let me carry you. I won’t let go.”
You whimper quietly, switching between looking at his left and right eye. You are scared to close them.
“What if, what if she gets me that way?”
“She won’t, trust me. I’m here.”
You hesitate.
“Close your eyes, my love”, he whispers and places his hand on your forehead to run it down your face slowly. Like this, he brushes it over your eyes as well, making them fall closed, “there we go, keep them close. You’re doing so well, princess love”, he praises and runs his hands to your cheeks, “how’s that?”
“Not scary.”
“Yeah? Good job, love. Keep them closed”, he whispers, listening to the sigh of relief you let out, “I’ll lift you now, okay?”
“Okay”, you breathe, lifting your arms so he can pick you up easier.
You fall into him, hiding your face in the crook of his neck. He smells like Yoongi. He is real. No amount of dark, twisted magic could fool you now. Nothing could recreate the way he smells and how he makes you feel because of it. Safe. Oh so safe. He is real and as long as he is holding you, nobody can get to you.
Yoongi bounces you in his arms twice then his grip on you is secured.
“Let’s go”, he says and carries you through the darkness safely, “just keep them closed, love. I’m right here.”
You aren’t scared, knowing that for as long as you keep your eyes closed, he will make sure that nothing happens to you.
Fredrick doesn’t keep human food in his kitchen, but ordered his servants to buy stuff for you. Neither he nor his servants are in the kitchen. Yoongi switches the lights on and sits you down on the counter.
He stays close, allowing you to hug him. You are still shaking. Not as much as you did in the hallway, but it is still present.
“Do you want some tea?” he offers, caressing your back.
You nod your head and so Yoongi prepares tea for you while you sit on the counter and try not to cry again. Once the tea is done, he takes you back into his arm, carrying the mug with the other hand. He sits down with you on the rocking chair which Fredrick keeps in one corner of the kitchen. It is made out of rattan and is painted white. Pillows make sitting comfortable and a woollen blanket waits to be used. Yoongi drapes it over your legs, making sure that you are tugged in thoroughly. You are sitting on him sideways. There are three windows with low window sills behind the chair, showing the dark night. Yoongi makes sure to turn the chair in a way so that he would look outside while you could look at the bright kitchen. No darkness will torture you again. Not for as long as he can prevent it.
“There we go”, he says, “here’s your tea.”
“Thanks”, you barely get the word out and accept the mug.
Yoongi doesn’t mind how slowly you move or how quietly you talk, holding you safely and rocking the chair just enough that it feels soothing. You don’t say a lot, but he doesn’t mind. He sits with you in silence, scratching your back and keeping his hand on your knee. You drink the tea slowly, staring at the ground with heavy, sleepy eyes. He knows that you are aching for more sleep, but that fear of another nightmare is keeping you awake.
You take another sip of the tea, clutching the mug with both hands.
“How is the tea?” he asks you in a soft voice.
“Good. You make the best tea”, you whisper.
Yoongi chuckles, “I sure hope I do”, he says, placing his hand on your thigh to rub it gently.
You exhale loudly, falling into him. Your head is resting on his shoulder, your weight is against his chest.
“I’m so tired”, you confess in a trembling voice.
“I know”, he kisses your forehead, keeping his lips against it afterwards, “just close your eyes and fall asleep, I’ll make sure that you are safe.”
“I don’t want to go back to sleep. It’s so scary.”
“I understand, it’s okay if you don’t want to yet. Just don’t fight it once it happens. I’m right here, yeah?”
You nod your head, snuggling closer to him. He feels so warm and smells so good. It is even stronger now that you are wearing one of his hoodies. It feels like you are getting a double hug from him and that’s the best feeling ever. Especially after such a terrible nightmare.
“I don’t know what to do anymore. Why doesn’t it stop?” you whisper weakly.
“Mhm”, he hums and gives you a little squeeze and a kiss to your forehead, “do you want to describe to me what exactly is happening in those dreams?”
“I don’t know if I can”, you confess, shivering at the mere thought.
“That’s okay, it’s okay”, he soothes those shivers right away, “I was just asking in case they’re not of normal nature.”
“Normal nature?” you gasp, lifting your head in alarm, “w-what do you mean?”
Yoongi frowns in worry then shakes his head.
“Yoongi, tell me. What did you mean by that?” you insist, gripping a bundle of his shirt to shake him softly.
“I don’t know.”
“Please.”
Yoongi sighs in defeat and places his hand over yours, “there were cases where witches manifested a part of their soul in someone’s mind right before their death, so that shall the chance arise and their host becomes mentally weak, they could take over and therefore resurrect again. The hosts spoke of nightmares, night terrors and feelings of losing control over themselves.”
“What?” your voice cracked as you exclaimed the word. Your body is shaking instantly. “Oh god, please no”, you choke out, feeling your eyes tear up painfully.
“Hey”, Yoongi speaks softly and slowly, cupping your cheek, “those cases were very rare and I didn’t say that this is the case with your dreams. They could very well be a trauma reaction.”
“Oh god, oh god I-I think this is happening to me. Yoongi this, this is happening to me.”
“Okay, I hear you, okay”, he says, wiping your tears away, “why do you think it is? Describe it to me if you can.”
“I’m always in, in a long hallway or, or a dark room and I can’t move away and then there is this shadow and it’s coming closer but I can’t move and then there is also Suzy sometimes, but she is bleeding out of her mouth and spits the, the blood at me”, you hiccup, shaking like crazy, “and she calls me a murderer and her voice is so loud and I, I can’t”, you break into tears, head falling against his chest, “I’m a murderer, I can’t take this anymore. Oh god”, you sob loudly.
“I’m right here”, Yoongi whispers, pressing you against him with just enough strength that his promise felt honest, “you’re not a murderer, trust me. What you did was not murder and we will also figure out what your nightmares mean. I promise you.”
“R-really?”
“Yes, really.”
“Thank you”, you choke out, “thank you so much.”
“Don’t. You know that that’s what I do”, he says, rubbing your back until those shivers stop. And you ask yourself why it took you so long to ask him for help.
That night, you find sleep atop his lap with your head resting against his shoulder and his strong arms cradling you safely. Yoongi rocks your bodies in the rocking chair for an hour after you fell asleep, before he returns to bed with you. He holds you as you slumber, staying awake to make sure that nothing will get to you. No new nightmares torture you until the morning hours.
Yoongi takes you downstairs once you wake again. The others are sitting by a table, eating breakfast and talking. Fredrick is with them. Fringella isn’t. She is still in Geneva, which was probably best for everyone here.
“Good morning” Jimin says, meeting you and Yoongi after returning from getting his cup of coffee.
“Morning”, you say, rubbing your terribly swollen eyes.
Jimin’s eyes flit to Yoongi. The latter gives him a nod of his head and a toothless almost invisible smile, one Jimin returns wordlessly before their eye contact breaks again awkwardly.
“I’m getting coffee. Do you want me to get you some tea, love?” Yoongi asks you.
“Yes, that would be lovely. Thank you”, you tell him, “and maybe something to eat?”
“Yes, I’ll get you something. Do you want sweet or savoury?”
“Savoury please.”
“Coming right up.”
Yoongi leaves for the kitchen afterwards, leaving you with Jimin. Fredrick is currently in the kitchen, frying eggs. He greets Yoongi with a smile.
“I’m cooking food for your human”, he says.
“You’re burning eggs, that’s what you’re doing”, Yoongi says, “give that to me, you’re wasting food”, he says and snatches the spatula away from him.
“You’re cruel, old friend”, Fredrick jokes and then turns so he could talk to him. He lowers his voice, “tell me, there’s someone inside her head isn’t there?” he whispers so only Yoongi can hear. The latter sneaks a glance at him and opens his mouth to talk.
Jimin studies you from head to toe. You look at him.
“Come. Tae left you a seat next to him”, he says, walking next to you, “what’s up with you? Did you have a nightmare again?”
“Yes. Is it that obvious?”
“No, but I was awake when you and Yoongi left the room. I heard you talk about it.”
“Oh. Uhm”, you touch the side of your neck.
“It’s alright, I’m not going to tell the others.”
You sneak a glance at him. Jimin tries to ignore how flabbergasted you look because of it.
“Thank...you?” you almost ask the sentence.
“Yeah, sure”, he murmurs and then you have already arrived by the table and the others are busy wishing you a good morning.
You sit down on the chair Taehyung prepared next to him and accept the sweet kiss he places on your cheek. A few minutes later, Yoongi returns with breakfast, sitting down opposite of you, next to Jungkook. The others greet him happily which he returns with a little nod of his head. Fredrick sits down at the end of the table, lifting a glass of blood to his lips. He keeps staring at you, trying to figure out the true dynamic of your group. He thinks that Yoongi did something to his head. Whenever he tries to make sense of who you are to Yoongi, his head hurts. He doesn’t want to ask his old friend, because he knows that if he did something it was for the best.
“We were just talking, hyung”, Hoseok says, “that it feels really good to have such a nice morning together. Wouldn’t you agree?”
“Mhm yeah”, Yoongi says, nodding his head before he sneaks a little glance at Jimin, “it’s nice.”
“Also did you hear already?” Seokjin says, “Namjoon’s supposed to have been sighted around an hour from here. Somewhere in an old factory again. He seems to love factories.”
“Really?”
“Yes, my contacts saw him”, Fredrick says.
“Well fuck”, Yoongi lets out and touches the bridge of his own nose, “doesn’t matter. Let him run, we have to be somewhere else today.”
“What?!” they all exclaim with widened eyes.
“But he’s less than an hour from here. We could end it, today”, Emma says.
Yoongi shakes his head, “not today. We have to drive back to Meredith”, he says, looking at you.
You gulp, feeling numb in fear. Why would he take you back there? He knows exactly how guilty this place makes you feel.
“Why?” Hoseok asks.
“Yes, why?” Taehyung agrees, placing his hand on your thigh under the table. You reek of fear and he knows that it is because of what Yoongi just told you.
“Because I have a feeling that Suzy Dream Jumped.”
“What?” Taehyung’s grip tightens on your thigh, “are you certain? You are aware of what that means, don’t you?”
Yoongi nods his head, jaw tightening.
“Did this bitch even know how to do that?” Jimin asks, looking just as worried.
“I don’t know, that’s why we have to go back to Meredith.”
“What’s Dream Jumping?” Hoseok asks, speaking what the rest was thinking. Everyone except you, because you currently feel like fainting in fear.
“It is a survival technique some witches use to escape death”, Taehyung explains.
“Okay?” Hoseok cocks his eyebrow up, “now again with more details, please.”
“You see”, Taehyung begins, “there are two seconds before a witch dies where she can transfer parts of her consciousness into a human host and if that host shows mental weakness, she can use that moment to take over and therefore become alive again while the hosts’ consciousness dies”, he explains.
“So why is it called Dream Jumping?”
“Because they hide in dreams so vampires can’t detect them through mind reading.”
“I see. Yo, what the hell?” Hoseok shivers, “this just gave me goosebumps, look”, he says, showing off the erect hair on his arm, “this is freaking scary.”
“Yes it is”, Taehyung agrees then looks at Yoongi, draping his arm over your shoulder, “so I truly hope that this is just an assumption by you. If Suzy Dream Jumped into ___, she could be in grave danger.”
“I know. It’s just a gist for now, but I better be safe then fucking sorry”, Yoongi says, eyes running over your face, “hey princess”, he reaches over the table to take your hand, “everything is gonna be alright, I’m right here.”
Fredrick widens his eyes at the view. Now that explains why he heard Yoongi make sounds like an animal in heat a few days ago. And why he keeps getting headaches. He stays silent, but internally he is screaming and jumping in joy for his Sire.
“You said that it was really rare. Last night”, you say, “did, did you lie to m-me?”
“It is really rare. Only a handful of witches actually managed to do it. I didn’t lie, but I can’t be certain for sure.”
“Oh god”, you whisper, lowering your head weakly, “fuck.”
The vampires exchange a worried look with each other.
“It is going to be alright, trust us”, Taehyung says, rubbing your arm soothingly, “I won’t let anything happen to you and neither will the others.”
“Yeah totally”, Hoseok agrees, “while I still have no idea how Dream Jumping should work, I won’t let that weirdo witch jump into you. No way.”
“Besides, as long as you’re wearing that”, Jimin grabs your wrist and lifts your hand to reveal your ring, “you should be safe. Even if she managed to transfer her bitchy self into you, she won’t get through the barrier the ring’s magic made around your mind.”
“Indeed! This is a very good observation, Jimin. I didn’t even think of that”, Taehyung says, nodding his head vigorously, “this would explain why you keep having nightmares. She is trying to break through the barrier, but can’t.”
“Yeah totally. She’s probably trying to scare you into breaking it yourself”, Jimin agrees.
“Indeed”, Taehyung says and squeezes your hand, “did you hear that, my sweetest? The ring is protecting your mind for now.”
“Are you sure that it is?”
“Yes, I am very certain. What do you say, Yoongi?”
Yoongi takes your hand, running his thumb over your ring.
“Yeah, that’s right”, he observes, nodding his head, “depending on what magic it was laced with, it can protect her from witch magic as well. It’s a ring for mind protection after all.”
“And is it such a ring?” you ask him.
“I told Meredith to put the strongest spell on it. Yes, it’s gonna protect you and Jimin’s theory is very likely”, he assures you and places your hand on the table gently before pulling away to take out his phone instead, “we shouldn’t trust in it blindly however. Who knows what kinda fucked up tricks Suzy has up her sleeves.”
“I agree with you, but for now we can rest assured that ___ is safe. Right?” Taehyung makes sure, caressing the back of your head soothingly as he speaks.
Yoongi studies your fear filled face, eyes softening reassuringly and lips curling into an honest smile.
“Yes, we can rest assured”, he says.
“Did you hear that, my darling? You will be safe for now until we talked to Meredith”, Taehyung says, giving you a little shake before leaning down to kiss your forehead.
“Now excuse me, I’m gonna call Meredith”, Yoongi says, getting up to hurry outside.
“I’m sorry guys”, you whisper.
“For what?” Emma asks.
“Just for…being so much.”
“You are not, stop talking shit”, Seokjin assures you, “we’ll beat that weirdo witch.”
“Witch bitch is a better name for her”, Jimin murmurs, making Hoseok chuckle and Jungkook smile.
“Good one”, the latter murmurs before he reaches over the table to push the cup of tea closer to you, “drink, it’ll do you good and we have to make sure that you stay awake for now.”
“Yes okay, that’s a good idea. She can only get me in my dreams. Right?” you ask, looking at Taehyung for help.
“Yes, that is correct”, he gives you a reassuring smile, brushing the back of his hand over your cheek, “and she didn’t manage to do so yet. Which means you are very strong. Don’t worry, you will be safe.”
“I really hope that you are right.”
“I am. Trust me”, Taehyung says, giving you a reassuring smile.
Yoongi returns, sitting down wordlessly.
“And?” you ask him.
“She’ll prepare everything”, Yoongi says, “we’ll leave after you guys had breakfast. You gotta have to hunt him without us, Fredrick.”
“It’s alright, old friend. I will give you updates once I know more.”
Fredrick offers Yoongi his ring before you leave. You are all in the cars already, so you don’t witness it.
“What are you doing?” Yoongi asks.
“I figured you out. Do what you must to keep her safe”, Fredrick says.
Yoongi stays silent in flabbergasted shock, shifting his eyes to the car in which you are waiting for him.
Fredrick places his hand on Yoongi’s shoulder.
“I am truly happy for you, my friend”, he says.
Yoongi doesn’t look into his eyes, because he can’t.
“I knew that keeping an eye on you as you stubbornly dried out would pay off.”
“What?” Yoongi lets out, looking into Fredrick’s eyes, “what did you do?”
Fredrick smiles without showing his teeth.
“You didn’t think that I would let my friend dry out without protection, did you?”
Yoongi looks away and bites down on his tongue. This is a confession he thought to never hear. He thought that he was all alone as the decades became centuries and later millennia and yet all this time, Fredrick kept a careful eye on him.
The latter nudges his shoulder, doing it so roughly that Yoongi stumbles back. Perhaps however he stumbled back because he was overwhelmed by his confession and therefore lost all his strength. If only for a few seconds.
“I’m happy for you, Yoongi. Perhaps she will finally make you see that our curse is actually a blessing because it made you live long enough to meet her.”
Yoongi shifts his eyes to Fredrick. They are glassy.
“Now do what you must. I carry no anger for you”, Fredrick says.
Yoongi steps closer. Fredrick readies himself with a content smile. Yoongi’s hand touches the back of his neck. Fredrick knows that it is for the best. He has no resentment for his Sire in his heart. Yoongi pulls him closer and against his chest. Fredrick stumbles with a gasp of surprise leaving him. One second. Another. A third.
“Don’t die today”, Yoongi says and gives Fredrick a pat on the back. He breaks the hug and slides the ring back onto Fredrick’s finger. “Keep that on. You’re vulnerable without it.”
“Yoongi”, Fredrick breathes, looking into Yoongi’s glassy eyes, “I don’t understand.”
“Hm”, Yoongi hums and gives Fredrick’s arm a soft pat, “I’ll text you once we know more about her condition.”
“Yes, uh, yes of course.”
“I’ll see you, Fred”, Yoongi says and turns to leave.
Fredrick touches his own chest where once his heart beat. He finds no words to speak until Yoongi has already gotten into the car and driven off. He runs his finger over the ring on his hand. Seconds later there is a tear running down his cheek and a smile on his face. He won’t tell anyone about what happened today, but he will cherish it in his heart until the day he draws his last breath.
The cars take a turn and disappear from his vision. Fredrick lifts his hand and waves.
“Farewell, my friend. I had a good life because of you, it’s your turn now”, he says and lowers his hand. He lets out a deep breath and turns. There are monsters to hunt and he needs to gather his people.
Meredith and Jelena are waiting in front of their house as you roll into their driveway. They wave their hands at you, wearing long coats to keep out the chilly air. Even here, so far south, the weather is getting colder.
Taehyung opens the door for you and helps you outside by holding your hand. He keeps holding it afterwards.
“Yoongi dear”, Meredith greets the Creator, hurrying to him with open arms, “who would have thought that we’d see each other again in this decade”, she says.
“Hey Meredith”, he greets her, placing his hands on her shoulders to kiss her cheeks each. She initiated it and he accepted it. “Thank you for agreeing to help us”, he says.
“Yes of course, it’s the least we can do after what we put you through”, she says then turns to you, “hello ___.”
“Hello”, you whisper, clutching Taehyung’s arm painfully tight. You are so nervous and scared that you want to throw up.
Meredith runs her eyes over your body and smiles, placing her hand on your arm.
“I’m sure that you have many questions.”
“Yoongi explained it to me in the car.”
“Of course he did. You can’t ever stop being a teacher, can you Min Yoongi?”
Yoongi scoffs, crossing his arms in front of his chest. Meredith snickers because of it.
“Now, now come in. Come in. It’s getting chilly out here, doesn’t it?” she says, tugging at your arm gently to get you moving.
The others follow close by. Jelena claims the spot next to Yoongi.
“I missed you”, she says with a flirty gleam in her eyes.
Yoongi sneaks a glance her way, studying her from head to toe.
“It’s good to see you too, Jelena”, he says, turning his attention to Meredith, “did you prepare the spell like I asked you to?”
“Yes. Everything is as it is supposed to be. Do you really think that Suzy Dream Jumped?”
“I think she did.”
“Well, that’s just terrible. Don’t worry, we’ll get her out of ___.”
“Good. I hope you do”, Yoongi says, reaching for your hand instinctively. His fingertips are cold, letting you know that he was affected by his emotions.
Meredith reaches out for him, touching his upper arm in a sisterly caress.
“Don’t worry, Yoongi. I can help her”, she assures him.
“Mhm”, he lets out and she knows that this is all she will get from him. She is okay with that.
The witches prepared the spell in the shed. Dragana and Lea are already working on the finishing touches, welcoming you with open arms.
“I’m so happy to have you back. Meredith told us everything”, Dragana says, holding your hands.
“I never liked Suzy. She always felt wrong”, Lea says, pursing her lips.
“We can be angry at her later, Lea. First we have to get her out of ___”, Meredith says, hurrying to the table.
“Of course. Everything’s ready. All we need now is an anchor”, Lea says.
“I’ll be the anchor”, Yoongi says, shrugging off his jacket and rolling up his sleeves.
“Are you sure? You know that you could end up in a lot of pain if it goes wrong”, Lea says, eyeing him with worry.
“I know what could happen”, Yoongi says confidently, “but you’re not gonna fail. You know what you’re doing.”
Lea looks to the side as Yoongi’s praise flustered her.
“Exactly. We’re going to help”, Meredith says, stepping closer to you, “you have to take off your ring for the spell to work”, she says.
“Ah yeah, sure”, you say, shrugging it off and placing it in her palm. She hands you a white crystal in its stead.
“What’s that?”
“A crystal which will capture one’s soul. We will send you and Yoongi into a magical sleep where you will enter your dreams. You will have to find Suzy and make her touch you.”
“But won’t that make her have power over me?”
“That’s where I’ll step in”, Yoongi says, “once Suzy made contact with you, she is showing herself to anyone in your mind. I can grab her and keep her from fleeing while you capture her in the crystal.”
“I understand. It doesn’t sound as difficult as I thought it would be.”
“The most difficult part will be to stay strong”, Meredith says, “you have to be stronger than your fear.”
“I can do that. I’ll have Yoongi with me”, you hold his hand, “and I’ll have all of you waiting for me. I’m not scared anymore.”
Meredith nods her head in understanding, carrying fondness in her emerald eyes.
“When can we start?” you ask.
“Right now if you are ready.”
“I am. Just one minute please”, you say and hurry to the others.
They look at you with curiosity.
“Just in case it fails and this is the last time I will ever see you. I love every single one of you with my entire heart. You guys made me realise that I wasn’t destined to be a lonely, friendless loser and I seriously hope that you will find the greatest happiness on earth”, you say, tearing up.
You step closer to Taehyung, cupping his cheeks.
“Tae, I’m so happy that you approached me. You introduced me to the world I’m supposed to be in and I won’t ever stop being grateful for it. So thank you, I was able to find my family because of you.”
“I love you, my darling”, Taehyung says, kissing you with trembling lips, “please come back to me.”
“I will”, you whisper, stealing one last kiss before moving on to Jimin.
He glances at you shyly.
“Your days will be brighter from now on. I hope that you can learn how to heal and to be happy again”, you say.
“Damn”, he whispers, looking to the side, “thanks uhm, if you die I promise to be a worthy friend to Tae.”
“Good. That’s all I want from you. Thank you Jimin”, you say, moving on to Seokjin. “Jinnie”, you bury your face in his broad chest, “thank you for making me laugh and for telling me when I acted shitty. You are the bestest family I ever had”, you say, squeezing him tightly.
Seokjin chuckles, rubbing your back, “I love you”, he says, “I know that you’ll come back.”
You and him exchange a fond and loving smile, before you move on to Emma. She hugs you, kissing your cheek.
“You’ll come back. I’m sure of it”, she whispers.
“Thank you, Emma. I always wanted to have a girl friend and you are the best I could have asked for”, you whisper, making her kiss your cheek a second time.
You turn to Hoseok after giving her a smile one last time.
“Hob-oh?” you get out and then Hoseok has you against his chest, hugging you tightly.
“I love you”, he gets out, “please don’t die. You’re my family.”
“You’re my family too, Hobi and I love you. God, I was so lucky to have met you. Truly”, you mumble into his chest, spilling tears because it hurts to think about the possibility that you could disappear today.
You break the hug after a moment, not daring to look into each other’s eyes in fear of tearing up again.
It doesn’t help that Jungkook is crying miserably once you turn to him. Eyes barely open and nose snotty, he falls around your neck in a tight hug.
“Please don’t, don’t leave”, he begs, “please don’t go, please.”
“I’m not going anywhere, Kookie baby”, you promise him, running your fingers through his hair.
“I don’t wanna loose you, please.”
“You won’t”, you whisper, stepping away to cup his cheeks. You wipe his tears softly, “I’m so proud of you, Kookie. You are one of the most remarkable people I ever had the honour to meet and I’m so fucking glad that you didn’t die back then.”
“Oh god, don’t say that”, Jungkook sobs and wails, falling around Hoseok’s neck to cry miserably.
“Take care of him, yeah?” you say, rubbing Jungkook’s back.
“I will”, Hoseok promises and nudges Jungkook, “hey JK don’t cry, she’ll come back to us.”
With an exhale on your lips, you turn to Yoongi and the witches.
“Sorry. I just had to say goodbye. Just in case.”
“It’s okay. We understand”, Meredith assures you, “are you ready?”
“Yes”, you say, stepping into the circle of magical barrier with Yoongi.
Jelena seals it while you and Yoongi sit down.
You take his hands.
“You know that if I started to tell you all the things I feel for you, we would be here until tomorrow, so I’m just gonna tell you that I love you and that I can’t wait to kiss you again and to dance in the greenhouse and, and hug in the sitting room and-”
Yoongi interrupts you with a gentle kiss. You exhale shakily, closing your eyes. He breaks the kiss, running his thumb over your lips as his soft eyes gaze at you.
“Tell me once we’re awake, yeah?” he whispers.
“Yeah, good idea”, you sniffle and laugh, “god, I wanted to start again.”
“It’s okay. I love you too, my most loved”, he says, giving you a smile to treasure forever.
“Oh my god, Yoongi you-”
“Hush, concentrate”, he says in a chuckle.
“Yeah, yeah right. Sorry. Concentrate”, you say and turn to Meredith, “now I’m ready.”
“Good. I need you both to lie down.”
You follow.
“Hold hands at all times to keep the connection. We will begin chanting the spell and you will start to feel sleepy. Remember to stay focused in there and everything will be fine.”
“Okay, I got it”, you say, clutching the crystal in your hand while Yoongi clutches your hand, “I’m ready.”
You close your eyes and as the witches begin to chant, darkness begins to creep up on you more and more.
The lights flicker above your head. Your shoes are soaked in blood. You feel tight in the chest within a second, instinctively reaching to your side for Yoongi only to grab air.
“Yoongi?” you gasp.
He isn’t here. You are all alone.
“Yoongi, where are you?”
Did the spell not work? Did something go wrong? Why is he not with you? What happened? Do the others know that something is wrong? Is this supposed to happen?
You begin shaking, feeling sick in fear. You are all alone again. Alone in this awful place. And now you can’t even flee from it by waking up because this sleep isn't natural. They don’t know that Yoongi isn't here and that the spell didn’t work. And now Suzy will get you and touch you and take over. Holy fuck. You are so scared. So, so scared. You tighten your shaking hands into fists. Something hard hinders your fingers from closing.
“Huh?”
The crystal. You took it with you into this dream. But if it came with you, does that mean that Yoongi is also here? Hiding somewhere so Suzy doesn’t suspect his presence?
This must be it. You aren’t alone. You have to be brave.
You break away from the spot, stumbling at first because you never took a step in here. Walking is difficult as the blood is rising more and more. But you can’t stop. You have to continue. Even if the darkness is blinding and the smell of death makes you dizzy. You have to continue.
You reach the door, which you always saw and never dared to go to. It opens easily. Too easily. You stumble into the room and scream in terror as the door slams closed behind you.
“Motherfu-”
No way. It disappears right in front of your eyes.
“Okay, what?”
The lights turn off. You scream again because it was genuinely scary. All of it. It is so goddamn scary. You clutch the crystal until your palm aches. Please let this be the last room you have to be in. You hate being here so much.
A small light bulb over your head flickers to life. The floors and walls are soaked in blood. You are so scared instantly, but try not to show it. You have to stay strong.
The whispers begin. The cold begins to surround you. Fog kisses your feet. Black and wet. It begins. She is close now.
“I’m not scared of you”, you call into the dark, flinching when a deafening screech answers you.
Suzy jumps out of the darkness.
“Murderer”, she spits, “there you are. You murderer.”
“I’m not scared of, of you”, you force out the words. You are so scared that you want to cry, but you have to stay strong. This is the only way. Oh, how you hope that the spell didn’t go wrong. You don’t want to die.
“Murderer. Look at you. You murderer”, she hisses and comes closer, “murderer! Murderer! Murderer!” she begins to scream and it would have broken you on other days. But not today. You have to be stronger than her. You have to make her touch you.
“You, you deserved to die”, you stutter, hoping that this is enough to provoke her.
Her face contorts in anger. Raw and maniac anger.
“How dare you!” she screeches, reaching for your shoulders. Her touch is piercing and cold, hurting you.
“Ah”, you let out, knees buckling under the weight.
Finally.
The contact has been made. You feel dizzy. Your vision is blurry. Suzy is trying to take over. The time has come.
Strong hands wrap around her wrists. Yoongi appears out of the shadows and steps right in front of you, pushing her away from you as his fingers almost break her wrist from how tightly he is gripping her.
“Leave her alone”, he hisses.
“You?” she gasps, “you, you are not supposed to be here.”
“It’s over, Suzy”, Yoongi spits.
“No! No you are not supposed to be here! She is mine! She is mine!” she screams, fighting him as best as possible. She is trying to flee again. Hide back in the shadows. But Yoongi doesn’t let her, keeping her hostage.
“___ now”, Yoongi orders you.
You lift the crystal.
“No! Where did you get this from? No! She is mine! I’m not dying yet! I’m not leaving!” she screeches, writhing in Yoongi’s grip.
The crystal is filling the room with bright white light. Suzy dissolves more and more as her essence gets sucked into the crystal.
“No! Don’t do this! I don’t want to die! Why would you do this to me?”
“You did this to yourself. Leave ___ alone”, Yoongi hisses, “___ don’t listen to her, keep going.”
“You are monsters! All of you! I curse you! I hope you die! Die!” she screeches her last words and disappears.
The room begins shaking instantly, the walls and ceilings break more and more. You can barely stand, stumbling from side to side.
“What’s happening? Oh god, what’s happening?”
Yoongi twists around and pulls you against his chest, shielding your head from falling stones with his hands.
“It’s okay. I’m here. Close your eyes, princess. It’s done”, he assures you, protecting you from the crumbling world around you until you stand on nothing more than one small tile.
“What’s happening?” you ask him, lifting your head.
“It’s over”, he says, pressing your head back against his chest, “hold onto me. We’re waking up.”
“We are- ah!” you scream as the tile crumbles underneath you and you fall into endless nothingness.
You wake up with a flinch, sitting up instantly.
“___!” Jungkook calls out, “you’re back!”
He tries to cross the circle only to be stopped by Taehyung with a firm hand on his chest.
“You don’t know if it worked”, he says, “maybe it is Suzy we are talking to.”
“No”, Jungkook shakes his head, “no, don’t say that. I-I’m sure it worked.”
“___?” Seokjin calls your name.
You turn your head into his direction.
“Jinnie?”
“Hey, it’s us. Did it work?”
“I think it did”, you say, looking at Meredith for help, “did it work?”
Yoongi wakes up, gasping as if he fell on his back and is now fighting for air. He sits up quickly.
“My love”, you gasp, touching his arm, “are you okay?”
“Yeah”, he croaks, “fuck, I hate Dream Jumping”, he murmurs, rubbing his temples, “my head’s killing me.”
“Oh no, my love”, you caress his forehead, “are you okay?”
“I’ll heal, don’t worry”, he assures you.
“Yoongi, did it work?” Meredith asks, eyeing you with suspicion.
You don’t blame her.
“Princess, show her the crystal”, Yoongi says.
You stand up, walking to the edge of the circle. You open your palm, revealing the now black crystal to the others.
“It worked”, Taehyung gasps, “my darling, it’s really you.”
“It is”, you say.
Meredith picks up the crystal, inspecting it, “she is telling the truth. I can sense Suzy’s essence in this crystal. You actually did it.”
“Darling”, Taehyung croaks, crossing the circle and breaking it that way, “oh my darling, you are back”, he says, lifting you off the ground to cradle you against his chest, “I was so worried that you wouldn’t make it.”
“I told you, you can’t get rid of me that easily”, you joke, making him laugh.
It is filled with relief and fondness.
Taehyung lifts his head, showing you his blinding smile, “I love you, my darling.”
“I love you too, my darling”, you answer him, caressing his cheeks.
You exchange a kiss. It is filled with sweetness and the comforting feeling of being free. He sets you down afterwards, making way for the others to welcome you back. Like always, they take you into a tight group hug, jumping in a circle with you as they call your name over and over again. It makes you laugh wholeheartedly.
Jimin steps closer once you stopped hugging. You and him exchange a look.
“I’m glad you’re back”, he says, reaching out to shake your hand. His gesture makes you chuckle.
“Thank you, Jimin”, you say, giving his hand a little squeeze.
He hides behind Taehyung afterwards, looking nervous.
Yoongi touches your lower back. You turn to him.
“I’m so proud of you”, he says, “you were so brave in there.”
“I was only brave because I knew that you were with me.”
He smiles fondly, flustering when you kiss his cheek softly.
“Thank you, Yoongi. I couldn’t have done it without you.”
He lowers his eyes shyly, touching the side of his neck.
Hoseok nudges your arm, calling your attention. He is grinning boyishly.
“Your emotional goodbye was totally for nothing. Wah ___ you’re such a sap”, he teases, earning himself a little pinch to his tummy.
“Meanie”, you pout, clicking your tongue, “I still stand by it. I would have never forgiven myself if I didn’t tell you guys that I love you.”
“Awww you’re so sweet. We love you too”, Hoseok coos and drapes his arm over your shoulder, “I’m so happy that you didn’t die. Seriously.”
“Yeah, me too”, you agree.
“You know what this begs for?” Taehyung asks.
“What?”
“Wine and dance. We should celebrate tonight. What say you?” he suggests, turning to the witches, “are you in the mood for celebrations?”
“Yes, oh I haven’t had a good party in decades.”
“Wonderful. Let’s celebrate. Shall we?”
The festivities will last into the longest hours of the night. Food will be shared, wine will be plenty and laughter merry. You dance with the others until your feet hurt and sing until your voices are weak. Jelena asks Yoongi for one dance late into the night when he was already a little tipsy. He said yes and danced with her while you were lost in a kiss with Taehyung. Speaking of Taehyung. He danced with Jimin for hours and they laughed and hugged and joked and it was beautiful to see. You also had a long conversation with the witches about Suzy. None of them were angry at you. They all would have done the same. Everyone except Meredith, who you didn’t have the chance to talk to yet.
The latter joins you in the living room once the celebrations have calmed down. They all went to sleep already, but you can’t quite find tiredness yet.
Meredith sits down next to you with a sigh. She runs her eyes up and down your body, then leans closer to you. She takes your hand, placing a mug of tea in it seconds later. It feels warm on your skin, making you lift your eyes.
“How are you feeling, dear?” she asks you.
“Drunk, but otherwise fine”, you tell her.
“That’s good to hear. You will sleep very well tonight, I promise you”, she says, relaxing back into her armchair with a loud sigh. She studies your fumbling fingers and the way your eyes are gleaming in nervousness, “what is it, dear?” she asks you.
“I’m sorry”, you whisper the words, “for what I did to Suzy. I know you must be so angry at me.”
“What?” Meredith laughs loudly and wholeheartedly, “oh my dear, no”, she says, shaking her head, “I am not angry at you.”
“What? Really?” you gasp, widening your eyes because you couldn’t believe your ears.
“Suzy was no witch of mine once she revealed her true intentions. I was tricked by her, just as much as you were and I must confess that I carry a lot of guilt in me for accepting her and the others into my coven.”
“Really?”
“Yes. Yoongi is one of my dearest friends and the vampires of this coast are my friends as well. Suzy almost killed them and you did what was necessary to prevent it.”
“I don’t know what to say. I thought that you would be so angry at me.”
“I was at first, until Yoongi explained to me what happened. I feel sad because I spent many years with Suzy and losing her still hurts despite her wickedness, but I’m not angry at you.”
“I’m sorry for killing her. I didn’t want to do that to her.”
“I know and I forgive you. I would have done the same”, she says, reaching out to take your hand.
You lower your head, releasing a shaky breath and with it a million pounds of burden on your chest.
“Thank you” you whisper, exhaling again because breathing finally feels easy again.
“Now drink, dear. I used the last of this season’s lavender for this tea”, she says with sisterly warmth in her voice.
“I will drink it deliciously. Thank you”, you say, enjoying the taste of the tea to the fullest. This is exactly what you needed after such a fun night.
A gentle knock on the door makes you turn your heads. Yoongi is standing in the doorway, swaying from side to side just slightly. His eyes are widened cutely, focused on you.
“Hey there”, you say, feeling fuzzy in your chest instantly. He is so pretty.
“Hey”, he says, waddling into the lights, “I figured that I’ll find you here”, he says, rubbing his tummy.
“You did?”
“No, I lied”, he sniffles, rubbing his nose with his little fist, “I used my nose. You smell so good.”
“Oh?” your face feels hot instantly. Public compliments. What a nice surprise. One that flusters you immensely.
“Ye”, he nods his head and grins without showing his teeth. He sways a little, rubbing his tummy again.
“Are you still gonna take long?” he asks.
“Why?”
He shrugs his shoulders, “just so. Wanna take a walk by the beach?”
“Now? But it’s really late.”
He huffs out air and pouts, “you’s mean”, he mumbles, turning away from you to leave.
“Yoongi, wait”, you call out, making him stop and turn. You stumble to your feet, hurrying to him even if the alcohol makes you dizzy. You catch yourself by holding onto his arms. He reaches for your hands instantly, holding them tightly.
“I’d love to take a walk”, you say.
“Okay. Let’s go”, he says, tugging at your hand gently, “the sun’s rising, you gotta see it.”
“Yeah? I gotta see?”
“Mh-hm yeah. Wanna show you”, he says, making you smile. He is so drunk. It’s so cute.
You were on your way outside the room as you talked, only to get stopped by Meredith calling Yoongi’s name.
“What?” he asks, looking at her with glazed over eyes.
“I’m happy for you”, she says, “you deserve to feel this way.”
He flusters, but hides it well with the help of the alcohol.
“Thanks. It’s all I wanted”, he says.
“I know”, she says and smiles.
He retorts it.
“Thanks for being my friend”, he says and flusters her so greatly that she can’t find an answer in time before he leaves the room with you.
Meredith, who watched her old friend reach for a person’s hand for the first time since she met him and who listened to his voice become so incredibly soft in emotion, feels a sense of happiness as she watches him leave. He always did so much without expecting anything in return. Without his help, the coast and its mountains would still be at war. Without his help, Meredith and her coven could have never learned as much as they did. And without his help and gentle words, she would have given up on many occasions. Truly, Yoongi did so much without expecting anything in return, so to see him find happiness fills Meredith with a sense of comfort. Her friend will be alright and he will be happy. That is a nice thing to know.
The beach is empty. The ocean is calm. Dawn is kissing the mountains, allowing you to see enough not to fall over random rocks. Yoongi guides the way, but stumbles way too many times. It makes you laugh every single time because he makes the funniest faces as he fights gravity. He is so adorable.
The beach closest to the water is made up of coarse gravel and rocks of apple size. Walking is a little easier than climbing over the rocks was, but it is still terribly difficult. You are both so drunk.
“It’s so nice here”, you say.
“Yeah.”
“You were right, it was a good idea to take a walk”, you say, sighing happily.
“Yeah I know.”
“Today was so eventful. I still can’t believe that I had the soul of a dead witch living inside me.”
“She’s gone now.”
“I know, thank god”, you sneak a glance at him, “thank you for coming with me. I would have been so scared otherwise.”
“I’d do anything for you”, he says, making your heart flutter. He skips over a rock, swinging your hands back and forth, “you were really brave. You’re so amazing.”
“Yoongi, you are so sweet. What the hell?” you gasp.
Yoongi looks at you with the biggest heart eyes ever and trips over an especially big rock. He widens his eyes comically big, “oh oops”, he gasps and stumbles, tugging at your hand as he tries to catch his balance.
“Careful”, you say in a giggle, tugging at his arm to get him back up, “you’re gonna hurt yourself.”
“I’m okay”, he says, catching himself, “I’m okay, totally okay. Is just that the rock’s slippery.”
You snicker, “you are so wasted.”
“Tch”, he pouts, kicking a stone gently, “the wine’s good, I couldn’t help myself”, he mumbles.
“Don’t worry, I think it’s cute that you are”, you assure him, “it’s still remarkable to me that you guys can even get drunk in the first place.”
“It’s because it’s the witches’ wine. They have magic in there.”
“Aaah I see, it makes sense”, you study his flushed face, “didn’t you drink an entire barrel of it though?”
“Why is that important?”
“I’m just saying, maybe you’re just wasted ‘cause you drank too much.”
Yoongi huffs out air and pouts, making you giggle.
“I’m just saying.”
“Well, whatever. I can still drink more than you”, you mumbles.
“Hah”, you scoff, widening your eyes, “I didn’t know that this was a competition”, you say in a chuckle.
Yoongi grins boyishly, fluttering his lashes at you. He is being playful right now.
“Tch, you’re so silly sometimes”, you murmur and stop, turning your attention to the ocean. You are drawing hearts on his hand with your thumb as you do.
Yoongi turns to the ocean as well, feeling for his face’s temperature by pressing the back of his hand to his cheek. He feels as if he is burning up.
“The ocean’s so endless”, you say.
“Yeah right. It ends though. Somewhere it ends. Everything does.”
“Yeah, but at its end there will be new land and so many new opportunities and chances at adventure. One thing may have ended, but that doesn’t mean that there won’t come anything after that.”
Yoongi turns his head, running his eyes over your face.
“What?” you ask him.
“Nothing”, he whispers, shifting his eyes back to the ocean, “something new”, he whispers, lips curling into a comforted smile. He inhales deeply, squeezing your hand.
You shift your gaze back to the ocean, enjoying the endlessness of it. The smallest flickers of reds can be seen in it, announcing the rising sun. You are a little sad that you won’t see it rise over the ocean, but it is okay in the end. Just standing here and looking out into endless water with Yoongi by your side feels fulfilling enough.
“You’re my land”, Yoongi says.
“I’m sorry?” you gasp, looking at him with bated breath.
“You’re…my land”, he hesitated shyly at first but then continued with a confident nod of his head.
“I am?” you say, feeling your heart race like crazy.
He nods his head, furrowing his brows in determination.
“My love”, you whisper, eyes filling with tears, “my love, I don’t know what to say.”
“Is okay. Don’t say anything”, he assures you, gesturing at the ocean, “I’ll dedicate myself to knowing you. Is what you do with new land, don’t you? I wanna know you well, so I know how to take care of you. Like new land. You gotta know it and cherish it and, and respect it to create something beautiful with it. Is what I’ll do with you, yeah.”
“Oh please stop talking. I’m too drunk for that”, you say, sobbing softly.
“Why are you crying?” he gasps, stumbling closer to cup your cheeks, “don’t cry please. I’m sorry, I’m so drunk, I said stupid stuff."”
“No, you did not. You are so sweet, I can’t help it. You make me cry because I love you so much”, you confess in a small voice, leaning into his touch.
“Oh”, he lets out, wiping your tears away.
“You are so sweet, Yoongi”, you sob dramatically, “why are you so sweet?”
Yoongi leans in and kissed your lips, letting out a shy “mwuah” as he does. It stops your tears. His unapologetic cuteness was just too shocking to witness. You blink at him, heart racing in your chest.
He flutters his lashes and grins cutely. A little shy, but incredibly cute.
“I think you’re cute”, he says quietly, widening his eyes in shy expectation.
“Well, I think you’re cute too, goddamn it”, you say, sniffling like crazy, “I want to cry, why are you so sweet?”
Yoongi lowers his eyes, wiggling his shoulders just once. He huffs out air and grabs you, twirling you without warning. You squeak in surprise, stumbling over the rocks as your body turns against your will.
“Why?” you squeal, falling into his arms as he catches you safely. You nudge his chest softly, “I wasn’t ready. Why would you do that? I’m dizzy now”, you ask him in a laugh.
“Just so. I didn’t dance with you yet”, he says, grinning goofily. His arms are around your waist, his hips sway from side to side slowly. You follow the movements, holding onto his shoulders. Your steps make a crunching sound on the stones.
“Yeah, I know. You danced with Jelena, tch traitor”, you tease.
“I didn’t wanna. She forced me”, he whines, widening his eyes adorably.
“Mh-mh yeah sure. You wanted it, be honest.”
“No, it’s in the past. Don’t be jealous”, he complains and pouts, looking so adorable that you have to snicker.
“You’re so cute”, you say, smiling as you sway along the beach hugging and facing each other. You hook your fingers behind his neck, “I think she’s still into you.”
“You think?”
“Mhm”, you nod your head, “womanly intuition, I can feel it”, you joke, making him chuckle.
“That’s stupid. It wasn’t even that deep.”
“Yeah? Was it purely physical then, mhm?” you tease, “is that how you had to discipline her?”
“Shut up, it’s not funny”, he pouts.
“Yeah it is”, you snicker, scrunching your nose up, “I don’t blame her. You’re an amazing lover. It’s no surprise that she still thinks about you.”
“I’m amazing?”
“Mhm”, you begin running your fingers though his hair, “gentle and attentive, but also rough and filthy. And so skilled”, you rasp, caressing his neck right where he tingles the most, “you just know how to touch a woman. It’s so fucking sexy.”
Yoongi lowers his eyes shyly.
“And now you’re all mine”, you say, cupping his cheeks with a gleeful giggle.
Yoongi looks into your eyes, exhaling shakily. He nods his head vigorously, widening his sparkling eyes.
“Yours”, he whispers.
“Yeah. Mine”, you gush and pull him into a passionate kiss.
Oh so passionate that Yoongi, in his drunken giddiness, gives into his wobbly knees, finding his only support by hooking his arms behind your head. You support him with your hands on his hips, arms slowly closing around his waist until you hug him against you. He moans and begins kissing you back. Deeply, passionately, desperately. And while he kisses you back, he murmurs needy phrases of “yours, I’m all yours” in between. As the kiss becomes more and more desperate, the sentences become shorter and shorter changing from “I’m all yours” to “fucking yours” until finally landing on shaky whimpers of “yours” followed by gasps for air and a needy, sloppy kiss.
Over and over again until you can barely take it anymore.
You break the kiss, but Yoongi is drunk on you. Drunk on how you make him feel and drunk on your addicting presence. Also very drunk on wine, this man is buzzed. He seeks you, connecting his lips with your neck as his hips grind his crotch against your tummy.
“Yours”, he breathes, sucking on your skin desperately.
“Yoongi”, you sigh, shivering like crazy.
“Yours”, he rasps, kissing your neck where it feels the best.
“Wanna go back? My bed’s so empty.”
“Yes”, Yoongi says, nodding his head vigorously, “yes please. Come, please come”, he begs, tugging you with him as you hurry back. You giggle and hold each other close as you run over the beach. The sun is slowly rising, changing the colours of the sky. And yet right now, you don’t care, all you want to do is lose yourself in Yoongi.
