there's a fic that's called tasmanian salt? jisungs boyfriend dies and while being on his way to the funeral he meets his boyfriends affair? i haven't read it yet so i'm not really sure about the plot or if it's good or anything but that's my infidelity offering 😁

hi bibi what are ur favorite niche tropes to read
hihi !! ooo niche tropes .. . well. in general most of the tropes i really enjoy have some kind of forbidden / frowned upon element to them ? the angst u can write with that .. lots of pining , yearning, stolen glances and small touches . i love it being able to build up.. i don't know if these count as niche really but.. recently camboy x royal au have enlightened me . i need more of that kind of situation , actually . royal aus in general too although i really don't think that counts as niche lol
brothers best friend / best friends brother . i am a broken record. it's not even a common tag on ao3 yet so in my eyes that makes it niche . there is not enough! we need more! and i will not stop talking about it!!!
cheating is fun too .. i think a lot of people don't like to read it because they're very against cheating in general (which i get !! and also i am too irl!!) but in fiction, and when it's minsung cheating with each other , to me then it's perfect actually <3
dating show / reality tv show as well!!! i think they're soo fun and there is not enough of them. i love the angst that u can explore with it
thankqu for asking star :3

hey bibibug not sure if you've ever answered this but what are some of ur fave fics :3
hihi :3 eee what a fun question!! i am very particular with what i bookmark, which actually makes this so much harder for me . i don't have many bookmarks so trying to whittle down the small amount i have to an even SMALLER amount is so hard .!!! i'll include a line from my bookmarks to help lol.
in silence by daisier. as per the first line in my bookmark—"it changed something in me."
for lovers who hesitate by yourfriendlyneighborhoodficwriter. "how minho and jisung had an easy time with each other from the get go, this fic felt the same for me—it got lodged in my heart somehow."
us and them by yourfriendlyneighborhoodficwriter. "they found each other again, because truly they never actually lost one another."
behind the garden wall by LadyAscalon. "'I am' and the subtitles underneath read 'I love you, too' are you joking ????!!!!"
gradually, then suddenly by papercct. "so incredible watching minho fall in love with jisung as they grow up, but also.. he was from the start and he kind of just grew up into the love .. it was always there!!"
a thousand pretty things by excelgesis. "minho and jisung through time and space and they love each other every single time and when when when can it exist between them?"
please don't cry in your dreams by alittlelonger. "the most beautiful heartbreaking interesting take on soulmates in every universe trope EVER."
these are just a few that instantly spring to mind!!! thanku. for asking <3

the girlfriends brother idea hasn't left me alone and thoughts, many many thoughts, have been thunk and they're very incoherent so excuse me for that, but i need to leave them somewhere.they're barely thoughts either just my imagination coming up with ideas when i do my chores but i feel like there would be some kind of comfort between them already? if the bf is constantly around and especially when gf and bro are close. and from there the ideas just flow!! maybe they all just love gaming together, maybe bf and bro share the same interests and get to have some really cool convos, maybe bf needs tutoring in smth bro is really good at and they get close during that, maybe it's a hot summer pool session that changes it all cause O_O... maybe they knew each other from when they were little, bf and gf being childhood f2l and the brother witnessing that (him then fooling around w her bf would add so many layers of guilt too cause what is he doing??? have some shame jdhdjsj) there are just so many ways to kickstart it (some more dramatic than others) and i wish i had the talent to write them i would come up with 5000 alternate universes for them... maybe they're in the same sports club... doing sweaty sports club activities.. sorry got lost there but there's just so many possibilities but the guilt and angst that would take place in such a story make my skin crawl!!!! the tension the secret desires the constant fears of getting caught but who tf cares whoooooo caresssss aaaaaaa this is such a stupid ask i'm so sorry i hope u don't mind djhdjd really cool idea u have there... i'm kinda a fan if you didn't notice
thank u so much for sharing them with me i feel so happy and soft seeing your thoughts and i am tucking them away in my mind. you're right there are SOOO many possibilities and i really hope i can dig into some myself sometime soon because they're all soooo yummy. i am halfway between the idea of them already having some kind of familiarity with each other and it blossoming through that, or them being completely new to each other and it being kind of a shock to the system entirely. it's soo hard to choose when there's so many ways any one could go... part of me fucks with the idea of them all being kind of childhood friends to lovers and then the bf and gf start dating and then maybe that making the brother realise he wants the bf??? like u said the guilttt that would come with that... .. MANNNN i don't know this is NOT STUPID though please . always send me more thoughts about anything but also about this because i love them . feed me feed meeee

i could talk about merthur forever and the minsung parallels are insane bc they're both just the most ultimate soulmates ever but like.... arthur already risking his life for a guy he knew for a week (happened to my good friend m-).. arthur always considering merlin's opinions bc he values it and trusts him... "i want you to always be you" (sounds like smth someone else has said before) .... "murder is not the solution" merlin always killing everyone left and right when it comes to arthur's safety... heck merlin even let go of his one true dream of magic returning to camelot for arthur's safety 😭 arthur imagining running away from his life (w merlin by his side obv).. I COULD TALK FOREVER ABOUT THEM LIKE WHY ARE THEY INSANE. the deleted scene that isn't deleted at all in my head about arthur giving merlin his mothers sigil (his family sigil!!! to merlin!!! one of his most priced possessions!!! not even to his wife!!!!!!!) like the devotion here is insane and i know who else is very devoted to each other mr i like normal and my forever companion and i'm yapping too much don't let the soulmates take over your body and soul it's dangerous
you get me SOO BAD !!!! yes yes the parallels !!!! merthur are so them. arthur listened and valued merlin's opinion and thoughts more than anyone else most of the time. i literally made a whole tumblr post about the last episode and arthur finding out the truth and trying to grapple with it, the fact it was less about how merlin had magic (and that was something he'd always known to be bad) and more about the fact merlin had kept it from him, and kept it from him SUCCESSFULLY . like arthur was mad at himself that he didn't realise that whole time. that merlin had been saving him every day for all those years, was the closest person to him more than gwen, and still he didn't?? see it??? it was very important to me. something about being so close you see right through them. "i want you to always be you" will plague me for forever!!!!! please NEVERRRRRR stop yapping to me about minsung and merthur either together or separately i am here FOR BOTH!!

but minsung are sooo merthur coded starting w the whole two sides of the same coin stuff to arthur not even gaf about gwen in the last ep LIKE OBV
you get it !!! honestly every episode i watch i just can see mnsng in them . i fear most things i watch ii try and mnsngify any way i know how but they make it so easy for me . arthur pretending he doesn't care when he probably cares the most . . .the whole thing of merlin being clumsy and good for nothing yet he's always saving arthurs life and when merlin isn't around arthur literally doesn't even know how to get dressed without him and is completely lost . like . that's mnsng!!!

hi bug ~♡
about the club/bar scene, it is good to have a reference by either reading another fic or watching a scene from a movie. it will also be good to decide what you want to convey from that scene (two charectars meeting and chatting while having a drink at the bar, getting to know eachother) or (two people sitting in different tables with different groups eyeing eachother from across the room, they might get bold and make a move or one of them might decide to join the dance floor just to tempt the other to join him) something of that sort.
I would love to hear about your wip if you'd like to share :3♡
hihi narcis !! u make very good points and have given me such to think about . . . , usually i do go for doing Market Research and reading other fics with similar vibes but sometimes i fear i use that as a way to procrastinate lol :< but i am getting to the point where i may have to do it anyway !! thank u for ur advice <33
i would love to talk about the wip . .. but it's a secret. .. . teeheeehee
