CONCEPT: folk legend!sjw/biologist!reader

tw: missing people, stalking, implications of cult, really really itty bittt twinge of yandere if you squint really hard. also mostly word vomit i just wanted this concept out of my head oh god

Imagine you're a biologist who decided to go back to your little town that's located nearby an eerie mountain thats surrounded with equally eerie forests. You heard from your parents that there was a sudden shift in the wildlife and the animals seems to decreasing in population which concerns the wildlife protection department of your town.

So this piques your interest and you decided to visit your hometown. You were warmly greeted by the locals and you caught up with your old childhood friends by drinking in the local bar where you swung your first drink. After all that you shifted back your focus on the main reason why you went back, the wildlife is acting strange.

You decided to daytime observation first, quietly watching the remaining animals and see what could possibly be behind the sudden disappearances of the animals. This didn't work much to your dismay so that means you had to conduct night time observations. Your parents was worried but you reminded that you're a licensed researcher and you know what you're doing. Reluctantly, your parents let you go out into the forest.

But of course before you leave, one of the town's elders grabbed you the side and gave you a warning. A warning that you should probably back out and continue with your daytime observations and not continue this one... You of course don't listen, you're an adult! Why will you sway to the words of an old lady or a stupid legend that was made for children to keep them in check? You're an adult, a person of science and logic. Folk tales are neat but isn't exactly your thing.

Though.. honestly you wished you heeded the elder's warning. When you entered the forest you saw things that wasn't there in the morning. Strange tied up sticks that was shaped like dolls hanged in the trees or twine wrapped around the trunks that had pieces of paper stuck on to it. You were pretty sure this is not the doing of an animal but what sick person would do this? It all looked so... ritualistic. You crouched down on to the leafy floor and picked up a 'doll' that fell off from the tree, it had a poorly sewed clothes on it and black coarse animal hair glued on to its head, resembling a pretty shaggy haircut. It looked like an old friend. You looked at it, noting the little details of the doll. This suddenly reminds you of a time when you were younger that there was a series of missing people cases in this town.

One of those victims was your friend, Jinwoo, and he was the last person to go missing during that time. You remember you were adamant on searching the forest yourself to find him but your parents stopped you and locked you in your room just in case you tried to sneaked out into the forest. You honestly missed him but you shook your head, dwelling on the past will hinder your research. Stepping away from the ritualistic scene, you continued hiking into the forest trying to find a suitable place to observe the wildlife in the night.

After a while of wandering around, you found a good place to set up your gear. You unzipped your bags and prepared your things when suddenly you felt a shift in the air, a shiver went down your spine when you moved your head to see if there was anything there. You were told the locals rarely walk outside anymore especially past 7pm, a result of the cases back then. So no one should be out at this hour in the forest, you should be alone.

You decided to ignore it first and focus on finishing your set up. When you finished gearing up and prepping your things you got another shot of eerieness that made your body tingle. Just what the hell is happening? You felt you were being watched from every angle but when you look around you don't see anything. Were you being preyed upon an animal?

You readied your pepper spray that was stored in your pocket, animals typically stays away from you if you're deemed as the biggee threat. So, as long you know how to appear bigger and scarier you should be fine. You've been doing this for years now but something tells you there's something not right, it feels... like it's not an animal preying on you but you can't exactly explain it. Your mind goes back to the moment where you stumbled upon a weird place in the forest that had a bunch of ritualistic things and you touched a weird doll that looked an old friend, it might be related to that.

Before you could continue deducing in your head you hear a loud crunch in the dark. This is starting to creep you out. You started to try to calm yourself and rationalize your thoughts. You're a person of science you shouldn't be this scared just think of something that makes sense it might be just a wolf or a bear.. hopefully. As you tried to steady your mind the light from your gear suddenly shuts off and you were enshrouded in darkness.

This is where the sounds of footsteps and howling started to intensify, Your heart was racing as you didn't move from your spot. You were shaking as you held your pathetic little pepper spray and tried to block out the noises. How the hell are you supposed to rationalize this?! You were panicking hard as you finally dropped to your feet and covered your ears, still holding the spray in your other hand.

Then all the noise stopped but you can feel SOMETHING behind you. It doesn't feel human or something you could comprehend and your mind is running back to the little warning the old sweet elder tried warninfg you of. Is this the end? They said it was monstrous from the rare sightings. I think you remember the elder saying it started appearing shortly after the end of the series of disappearances. Your mind is fogging up from panick.

You felt it's hand on your shoulder, it's cold breath right beside your neck. It spoke and... you recognize the voice. You finally turned your head and you were greeted with a pair of deep purple eyes staring right back at you, it felt like you were starung back to the abyss. You called out it's name

"Jinwoo?"

camp half blood/percy jackson au [astro]

[knk chb au] [knkstro chb au]

anyway, enjoy our cute stuff abt some demigod astro

- starting with their arrivals/claimings:

- mj and minhyuk show up at camp at the same time, having been chased by the same monster from their neighborhood

- mj is almost immediately claimed as a son of nike, and minhyuk is like “that’s why you always won our bets, you shit”

- minhyuk is claimed a little later as a son of poseidon and is already so done, “for fucks sake, i don’t even like going to the beach what the hell”

- sanha, bin, and jinwoo show up next, and jinwoo had already been established as that trio’s leader after saving the younger boys from a monster

- sanha and bin are both claimed fairly soon, sanha as a son of antheia, a minor flower goddess, and bin as a son of achelois, a minor moon goddess

- jinwoo: of fucking course you’re a child of a MOON goddess, your name is MOON Bin

- jinwoo is claimed a few days late, as a son of atlas

- “lmao u got claimed late, loser”

- “he’s holding up the fUCKING WORLD, GIVE HIM A BREAK”

- dongmin joins the group last, and as soon as everyone lays eyes on him, they have him pegged as either apollo or aphrodite

- there’s bets going around until the campfire that night, about which god/goddess he will be a son of

- suddenly a fucking skULL IS HANGING ABOVE HIS HEAD AND THE BOY GIVES THE MOST BEAUTIFUL, BLINDING SMILE YOU’D EVER SEEN

- okay now onto their individual personalities (under the cut):

- mj:

- is always somehow winning everything even tho he doesn’t seem to be very good at things??

- but he’s just so positive at every capture-the-flag or any competition, cheering everyone on to do their best

- “i’m your lucky charm ;) to victory!!”

- jinwoo:

- is the leader and often feels the weight of the whole team on his shoulders, like he’s holding up the world

- small but is sO STRONG

- can literally carry anything on his back, gives impromptu and sometimes unwanted piggy back rides

- dongmin:

- is literally the happiest freaking son of hades

- knows the horrors of death and goes out of his way to make sure everyone appreciates life, but also reminds them not to fear death

- “yeah,,, my dad kinda sucks,,,, but hey!!!! i just want to sing and love minions!!!!”

- bin:

- is that weird kid that sits on his roof at night and sings to the stars

- one day someone asks him why he does that, and he says “oh, they like it”

- they’re like “they cant hear you” and then the next night when bin sings, there’s a shooting star across the sky

- minhyuk:

- is not a fan of the beach bc sand up the ass is a nono

- boy didn’t even know how to swim until two years ago

- likes making water dance and sometimes uses it to add cool effects to his dance routines

- sanha:

- is the softest flower boy

- plays guitar and sings to his flowers bc he says it helps them grow

- everyone makes fun of him for being a weak flower boy but heck did you know you see this flower on this type of dangerous poison plant/ivy?? what is it doing in your room??? wild

- now for the best part, how they all interact with each other:

- jinwoo can carry the whole maknae line at once, just watch; he asked mj to climb on as well, but mj was like “bitch i may be lucky but i aint stupid”

- bin and sanha sit on the roof of bin’s cabin at night to sing to the stars together, and on the roof of sanha’s cabin during the day to sing to the vines and the trees

- jinwoo can also carry mental burdens and is a good listener so the others love to talk about their feelings with him

- minhyuk likes to mess with the water in sanha’s cup at mealtimes, either splashing him in the face, or making it avoid his mouth whenever he tries to drink it

- bin is a momma’s boy but his momma is so done with him tbh; he stuffed his face at dinner one day and dongmin was like “ur gonna puke if u eat that much” and bc his mom also does healing, bin’s like “oh it’s ok, it’s a full moon, i’ll make a sacrifice to my mom tonight, and she’ll heal me :)” but his mom ignores him and lets the dumb shit have tummy aches for a week

- people think that sanha and dongmin wouldn’t get along bc their parents are complete opposites bUT THEY’RE BEST FRIENDS AND ARE BOTH SUNSHINE BOYS, AND SANHA REMINDS HIM TO LOVE LIFE, AND DONGMIN KEEPS HIM FROM BEING A NAIVE FLOWER BOY AND MAKES SURE NO ONE TAKES ADVANTAGE OF HIS SOFT BOY

- going back to how jinwoo can carry literally anything, he randomly picks up his friends and gives them “piggyback rides” ; the boys have varying reactions to it, but the Soft Boys, bin and sanha, love it the most

- sanha makes minhyuk begrudgingly water his plants, and asks him to sing to them; minhyuk does it when he thinks he’s alone but sanha sees him and cries a little bit

- all the members joke that bin can breathe in space and he’s like “i’ve tried, it hurts” “bin what the fuck”

- when sanha gets really happy sometimes too many flowers grow around him and dongmin has to like make them die bc like dude really??? in my room???

- sometimes the boys make bets on really crazy things (especially jinwoo bc he strength) and mj has to begrudgingly help them out, unless it benefits him, then he will for sure make sure he wins

- sometimes when minhyuk dances, he just jumps in the air and trusts jinwoo, who is shorter than him, to catch him in the air, and it’s annoying but jinwoo can’t help but laugh when he does it

- one time, jinwoo didn’t catch him, and they ended up in a mess of limbs and bruises and bumps, so bin had to heal them

- dongmin is the scary back up guy mj brings around with him, bc nobody wants to fuck with a man that never loses and his death friend

- they’re the weirdest group of friends at camp and nobody quite knows what to make of them, but they’re all happy with each other and can’t wait for next summer to come around
