' Jungkook fits here, so easily, filling in the spaces Yoongi hadn’t realized were empty before. Yoongi is too drowsy, not fully himself-- it’s what leaves his hand lingering on the side of Jungkook’s sleeping face, it’s what makes him think ‘I want to keep this’. '

' "want all you want, want the fucking world," yoongi continues. "but you can't have it." "why not?" '

and on that note, set in the same universe as finger cuffs and garnering the same level of adoration from me. again i feel like i can't suffice expressing how much i appreciate this fic.

when i came upon it i had absolutely zero interest in the pairings, except for maybe yoonkook which is extremely minimal in this story.

because of that i put it aside for a long time, and when i finally got around to reading it i was floored and angry at myself for not just going ahead and reading it when i found it.

all the characters are so three-dimensional and realistic, it reads like a published book. man idek what to say

explicit sex, cheating, very unhealthy relationships, emotional manipulation

_' Jimin could see in his hooded eyes that he wanted to kiss him again, and the thought made his stomach sing.

"Don't deny me of your nectar and still hold me close like this. Don't breathe life into me and expect me not to want what keeps me standing." '_

this is the kind of story that you think about in the middle of the night when you can't sleep.

idk exactly know why, but i guess it was just executed and written really well, well enough to send home the content in your brain.

it's an experience to reread, because foreboding. also the portrayal of vmin here is something i still think about because it left that much of an impression.

blood/gore/mutilation, dubious consent, animal death, explicit sex, emotional pain???
