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.

Mina my beloved <3 I'm just going to ignore that first part lmao

My favorite fic I've ever written is hard, though it's obviously going to have to be one of my long fics. I like them all, but by different metrics. My top 3 are probably 'Don't Be So Nice to Me,' 'I Saw This Really Cute Guy,' and 'Planes, Motels and Snowballs.'

DBSNTM is very near and dear to my heart because a lot of it is very personal and inspired by my real-life experiences as a teen. It was also my third long fic, and I feel like that's when I really started to... like, know what I was about as a writer? I like 'Everything Rises' and 'Did You Get Enough Love' too, but they are more generic and tame compared to my subsequent fics. For DBSNTM, I was out to make something personal, just for the sake of it, really. I had written my other fics for fun too ofc, but the writing experience for this one was different, and it felt more free? It's more intimate to me, I guess.

Then, my very next long fic was ISTRCG, and that was my first dark long fic. For ISTRCG, I had settled on just writing the most insane thing ever, like purely whatever I wanted to happen would happen. It was a massive change from my previous long fics, and that was really fun. I would literally get stuck in certain places, ask myself, "What's the most insane thing that could happen rn?" and then write exactly that. It's not very popular compared to my other long fics, but all the comments I received on it really opened my eyes to the fact that other people did like that sort of content too, and that gave me the confidence to continue writing dark and DDDNE stuff.

Last, but not least - PMAS. I just love this fic so, so much. I was having a pretty hard time writing it, but, I don't know, the vibe and feeling of it is just so wonderful to me. It's inspired by the 80s movie 'Planes, Trains and Automobiles' (or as I somehow always call it, 'Planes, Trains and Airplanes' lol). Honestly, I just love that movie, and I cannot emphasize this enough. I actually hadn't planned on writing a Christmas long fic. My original plan after Kinktober had been to take November off, then only write the DBSNTM Christmas one-shot sequel for December. By the time mid-November rolled around, though, I really wanted to squeeze in one more long fic before the DBSNTM one-shot. I had recently rewatched the movie and just randomly decided that would be my holiday fic. Just thinking about PMAS makes me feel all warm and fuzzy instead lol

Thank you for your question, Mina (⸝⸝ᵕᴗᵕ⸝⸝) I know it could me almost a week to getting around to answer it, but I do appreciate the opportunity to run my mouth haha
