Well, I don't know if I can truly say there'll never be a continuation to DBSNTM, but it's not something I'm interested in. As I said on twt, the 3rd part would've been based around the 12 Rods song, 'Revolute' and would've been around their first Christmas as college students (probably around finals, not actually Christmas, because my idea was to show them doing well in a bigger, more diverse college town).

Inspired by the lyrics of the song, I was going to focus on them being publicly out as a couple and their hopes and dreams for the future as they start the first 'adult' chapter of their lives. The issue there, though, is that it really sends some conflict to make a compelling story, and from that perspective, the temptation of putting their relationship through some sort of test or trial to solidify it is too great... but emotionally, I don't want to do that lol. I thought about it more and realized that if I wanted it to be a 3-part series, then that needed to happen to get to the ultimate resolution, but if I left it as it is today, then it could just be a full stand-alone story that got a happy little epilogue, and that's honestly what I prefer for it.

Right now, my intentions and hopes for 2026 are too re-focus on dead dove and dark romance multi-chapter fics. Things like 'Little Prae' (Chanlix), 'I Can’t Hear You Over the Cicadas' (Minsung), 'I Saw This Really Cute Guy at the Grocery Store the Other Day' (also Chanlix), and even darker, more fucked up themes and ideas that I've never touched before. When I wrote ISTRCG, which was my first dark long fic, I really was just like 'Fuck it, I'm gonna write whatever I want, regardless of anything,' and it went completely off the rails, batshit insane, and I loved it. It was fun to write something like that, and I'm satisfied with the overall result. Readers loved it, and I think that's still my fic with the most comments despite being a year and a half old. When I started writing, one of my go-to tricks whenever I got stuck was to ask myself 'Ok, what's the most insane thing that could happen right now at this point in the story?' and that's basically what I would write. That's what I want my readers to expect from me again.

What I mean by saying all of that is just that currently, my interests lie in a totally different league than DBSNTM. While I don't intend to completely stop writing those nicer things, I'm shifting my focus right now. Like, I've been working on an extreme DDDNE Minsung fic for a while now, and I plan to start posting that sometime in early January.

Sorry for rambling, but thanks for your question! Happy new year to you too!! ♡

Hihi, thank you!! I hope the same for yourself and thank you for your question <3

How funny you ask....... This is certainly not everyone's cup of tea (cw: cisswap, noncon, pregnancy, dead dove), but something I've had fun thinking about lately is a potential continuation for my Kinktober fic, Turnabout Is Fair Play with Minho and cisswap Hyunjin.

If you're familiar already, my idea is that Hyunjin does in fact get pregnant from the events of that story. So it's several months later, and Minho loves watching heavily pregnant Hyunjin waddle around campus, tired, struggling academically and having no friends. He eventually makes his move and "offers" to tutor her in a particular class that she's struggling a lot in. Obviously, she's hesitant because she hates his guts now more than ever, but he pressures her to agree. Over time, their "relationship" builds, and Minho starts driving her to prenatal appointments and helping her with whatever else she needs (but this is conditional since, well, Minho is still obsessed with fucking her, who he still believes in the most beautiful girl in the world). It starts to wear on Hyunjin (who's been disowned by her parents and lost all her friends due to the pregnancy and the means in which it occurred), and she's really left with no other choice but to rely on Minho for support and friendship. His unwavering attraction to her also helps her to feel less gross and take more pride in her appearance like she used to, and she starts to depend on that emotionally. The spring semester ends, and Minho finds some shitty apartment nearby for them (without even asking Hyunjin if she wanted to move in with him), and then they basically become a couple. And that summer, Hyunjin gives birth to a baby girl that looks just like Minho :)

I just initially thinking about doing it in Minho's POV since the original was and because I wanted to show him taking pride in making Hyunjin miserable and emotionally dependent on him, BUT I think Hyunjin's POV would be fun too because then readers can see firsthand how her feelings change and how she breaks down over time. Maybe a switching POV? Idk lol but if anyone's interested in this idea, please let me know!!

Sorry for taking so long to reply!!

I sorta answered this in a comment, but I actually think Hyunjin and Jeongin will basically never interact again, at least not alone. I wanted the ending of TMS to be very awkward and unhappy/unsatisfying. My idea is that Hyunjin is not only disappointed by Jeongin cumming almost immediately but also disgusted? Like logically, it makes sense that someone who is celibate would cum quickly, but Hyunjin is young and probably his expectations for a sexual interaction with his hot, young priest involved more taboo and less realism, if that makes sense? And then Jeongin is also disgusted with himself for letting himself be swayed by his emotions and breaking his vow of celibacy (Hyunjin being only 18 is probably an additional 'wtf is wrong with me?' factor). What I mean to say is that I don't think Hyunjin would be interested in anything else with Jeongin because the first encounter differed so much from what he had most likely been imagining when he was flirting with Jeongin.

My imaginings for what happens long-term after the fic is that Hyunjin and Jeongin see each other during service, but they don't talk to make eye contact (additionally, I imagine Jeongin would have difficulty talking to or making eye contact with Hyunjin's unwitting parents). Jeongin spirals in shame of breaking his vow to god and makes a sudden announcement that he's leaving the parish. He ends up continuing to be a priest in another area and basically takes the secret of breaking his vow to his grave. That's kind of what I feel most suits the vibe of the story, you know?

Also, thank you for liking my fic (ㅅ´ ˘ `)

THAT’S WHAT I WAS THINKING TOO (+ Lix). This probably isn’t surprising if you read my Gooning Buddies fic, but I’m obsessed with the concept of gooner Jisung (and to a lesser extent, Felix). Like all pathetic and whiny, and he wants to cum so bad, but he knows how much he loves to make himself edge and wait for it. Let’s be real though - he always ends up accidentally giving himself a ruined orgasm because he can’t control himself and always thinks he get get in one more stroke. Anyway~~~

Tbh I was really looking for someone else because I wanted Jisung to be the one getting caught. I just included him on the poll to have more options because maybe people want something that isn’t my immediate first thought. My actual first idea was to do Jilix and have Jisung catch Felix using the fucking machine on himself, but I always have Felix as my go-to bottom (lol), so I wanted to do something a bit different and have it reversed BUT then again, I was like maybe people want something else. Don’t know why I told that in reverse order, but there you go lmao

It’s been a few days now, but I’m still on the fence about who will walk in on Jisung (Lix or Minho), but I’ll probably start writing it today after work sooooo we’ll see how I feel in that moment haha

This question is so funny 😭😭😭 like I need you to tell me who you are right now because we need to be friends or at least mutuals (if we aren't already)

I totally get what you mean, but honestly I just don't think of it that way at all lol. Like it makes so much sense when you say it like this, but I've never once thought about it analytically. I think it's just a personality thing? Like you know how there are "glass half-full" and "glass half-empty" people? I'm a "less _" person, not a "more _" person.

To me, the milk is the "bland"/plain component whereas the coke/pepsi/cola-type soda is the "flaver"/main aspect. The milk is just what I dilute the soda with, if that makes sense? Functionally, the milk just waters down the soda - or that's how I look at it. The reason why I started sometimes adding milk to my cola-type sodas is because I don't like carbonation because it's just overwhelming and makes the drink kinda hard to swallow? Because like you're swallowing additional air? Carbonation isn't necessarily a dealbreaker for me, but for most of my life, it was just something I had to put up with if I wanted a soda. Because adding milk is adding more liquid, it basically waters down the soda (like when you have ice in a soda that melts) and that makes the carbonation more spread out and therefore less intense. I like a 1:1 ratio (or pretty close to it) the most, and that practically eliminates all of the feeling of carbonation.

I guess what I'm saying is that, to me, the milk is a solution to my issue, not an addition to the drink in its own right. As for the "less sweet" thing, idk lol. I'm not good at describing stuff, so when I descirbe the taste to people, that's just the best I can come up with. It's like an ice cream float, but because the ice cream is milk, it makes the overall product less sweet, rather than in that case more sweet. Though, yes, like you said, it does make the soda taste more like milk. I just never think of it that way lol

Thanks for your question!! This actually made me laugh aloud, and it's so fun (and funny) to be asked such an introspective question lol

Absolutely!!! Honestly, I used to hate age gap anything due to personal experience, but ever since writing WTR, I've become a changed woman lol

I do have a sequel planned out, but I'm not sure when or even if I'll write it because sometime after coming up with that idea, I came up with ANOTHER Minsung teacher/student fic. The dynamics are sort of similar but they're not connected at all. Between the two, I'd rather do the unrelated one and make it into a multi-chapter thing, but that's not to say that the WTR 2-3 part sequel is off the table. After Kinktober finishes, I plan on doing another poll (on twt) for my November Minsung fic. Idk if you keep up with my polls, but back in August(???), I did a poll for my next Minsung dark fic, but it ended up getting delayed, and then I was working on Kinktober fics, and it's all been a mess, so I was essentially going to start fresh with a new poll for my promised dark Minsung fic. I'm still considering what the options will be, but I think I might add both Minsung teacher/student fics as options. Certainly at least one.

Also, thank you for saying it's the best student-teacher fic!! I really appreciate that so so much!! <3

My favorite skz fic of all time is nuclear family-to-be. It's short, but it's been a huge inspiration to me in writing darker fics, especially ones that involves kidnapping and/or Stockholm Syndrome, which are "tropes" I love. This fic in particular really opened my eyes and made me realize that I could also write something like that, that I could write literally whatever I wanted.

Faded Yellow Bruises is really good, but it heavily involves abuse. It's difficult to read, and it hurts, but it's so good, and it's something I find myself coming back to semi-regularly. Haunting.

Cuddle Party! is an extremely well-written Minsung smut fic. It's so, like, immersive? And I really admire that way it's written. It's so detailed and descriptive, and I wish I could write like that.

angel eyes is also haunting in a way. I love zombies and zombie AUs, I've literally been meaning to get around to writing one since I started writing fics. This fic has that and brocon, and it's so fucked up and heartbreaking. I cried when I first read it.

You Own Those Coloured Eyes is written by one of my favorite authors, Iridescent_thinking17 aka Humi. Felix watches Chan fuck a fleshlight, and they're both fantasizing about each other. It's short, but it's so good in its descriptions..... especially of Chan using the fleshlight @.@

stimulate me, making me dizzier is also by Humi. Chanlix phone sex. It's.... um..... um..... um......

sweet dreams are made of these is a somno Chanlix smut fic. It's kinda of just backstory for this fic, but the idea of Felix basically using Chan as a human dildo to take his own virginity is INSANE, and I need to get around to asking Safeira if I can write an unofficial prequel lol. Honestly, my favorite part of this is the somno part, but Chan does wake up and take over, and then they confess their undying love for each other because they're Chanlix, and that's their fate.

Now, my favorite fic of my own is super hard. I've answered this on here before, but I only talked about my long fics, so I'll talk about some of my shorter fics here.

Under the Influence is kinda everything to me lol. Just... Mean cop Minho.... Oh, mean cop Minho, the man that you are. I've already expanded this into a one-shot series, Code of Conduct, and I have big plans for it. Hopefully, in 2026, I can get out a few more parts. It's a non-linear series exploring their situationship after the initial meeting/events of Under the Influence. I'm really excited for it, and the sole reason I decided to make it into a series was because I just loved it too much to let go.

No Room for Ego is something I'm very proud of. It was a monster of a fic to work on with all the characters, dynamics, research into BDSM practices and brainstorming for ideas for the trials Jisung has to complete. In retrospect, there are some things I don't like about it and would do differently now, but just for everything that it is, I'm proud of myself for creating it.

And most recently, What Are the Odds?. I had a lot of fun writing this one, and part of me is very tempted to write a follow-up. I just love unhinged Chanlix so very much, and this Chan in particular is so fascinating and fun, and I honestly want to see more of him...... especially as a dad.
