Please I Need To Know More About The Siren Au (and All The Others)

ok what about a less murderous version of sfh with tattoo artist! moonjo who's got like tongue piercings and lots of jewerly, meeting jongwoo who sets up a flower shop under his flat?

-> visual reference if you will (i did this in like 20 minutes lmao something possessed me):

kyung yi throwing k full-force onto that table in episode 9. that's it.

Just quickly gonna post this...yeah

even though i know that realistically, seo moonjo is a dangerous psychopath serial killer who could easily stab me, a teenager with no will or know how to fight, dead in a second,,

he just

seems very pathetic to me,,

like,, i still think i could, you know, knock him down a notch with like a very well thought out insult to his insecurities

i don't think he really has any of those but I'm still sure i could manage to come up with something

Hey, could you tell me a little about "Heart-shaped box" and "Overshot the target"? <3

Ofcc <33

So, "Overshot the target" is not about Strangers from Hell, but a trilogy called The Locked Tomb that's essentially just lesbian necromancers and sword women in space. So it's about Gideon and Harrowhark but a 1960s Summer Camp counselors AU in which they have the same enemies to lovers thing going on that they do in the novels but in a less fantastical setting.

Still not very fleshed out, but I want to make Gideon a muscular jock and Harrowhark a fencer (which is also them in canon but less fantastical xdd)

Probably won't be longer than a One-Shot (albeit a ~20k one xd)

"Heart-shaped box" however is a Strangers from Hell wip. It's a ghost-hunting au sort of?

In this AU Jongwoo moves to a countryside village to get away from his mom and girlfriend (who all live in Busan) bc said village is pretty close to a mysterious hotel that's sort of always been there and due to the surrounding landscape and its location being pretty isolated it's quite beloved by celebrities. But it's also supposedly haunted.

Now this is where another wip (the "herb doctor ghost" one) comes into play, bc I don't know how I want to connect the ideas. But essentially some centuries ago Moonjo was a really skilled doctor who worked a lot with herbs and could seemingly cure anything to the point that he had gotten a reputation. Namely that he was in kahoots with some demonic things, and that was he some sort of witch, which resulted in him being killed.

(I know that shamans or witches in historical Korea being killed was not that common, they were more likely just ostrasized or shunned according to brief research, but for the sake of this AU Moonjo was simply an outlier.)

So now, ~300 years later, Moonjo haunts the grounds on which he was killed, and the hotel that was built on top of them. And Jongwoo and new-found friends in the village decide to go on a little excursion to the hotel and see whether or not it's really haunted.

It might be too much for a one-shot, but maybe 2-3 long chapters like my Crimson Peak AU

I read the Locked Tomb series! Here's fanart for all the scenes that grabbed me by the skeleton

Superstar BTS is all fun and games till you finish easy mode

sfh dump

best thing about writing from jongwoo's perspective is the unreliable-narrator aspect: is this really happening? is this moonjo, or an actual person? am i confusing the reader, or spelling out the truth, or does it just seem like i'm spelling out the truth when really it's a hallucination of jongwoo's?
