A dark olive green background with a beige banner in the top middle that says, "Until the Hellebores Bloom" Below that is the summary - “So, darling? Do you think you will like it?” “I do not know, husband.” Namjoon turned around to smile at him knowingly. “Will I get to stay here long enough to see the hellebores bloom this winter?” It had been two straight winters now that his opportunity to see the flowers in full bloom had been foiled by their plans to relocate. “That is entirely up to you, Namjoon,” Taehyung answered easily. “You only need say what you want out loud so I can do my utmost to ensure it.” On the left there are tiny pieces of old paper lined up. From top to the bottom piece they say, "Taejoon; Teen; Complete; 7.4 k" The bottom of the graphic is entirely a torn piece of old paper that says, "au - historical, established relationship, they’re in love your honor, implied murders and murderers"

Second round starts now!

A dark olive green background with a beige banner in the top middle that says, "kiss it better than bite me harder" Below that is the summary - Taehyung's job was simple: keep the peace, schedule the meetings, and offer his throat to the two ancient vampires whose silence had grown too loud. But centuries of petty jealousy, and interrupted pleasures can only go so far— Before the blood bag learns to bare his own teeth. On the left there are tiny pieces of old paper lined up. From top to the bottom piece they say, "Taegijoon; Explicit; In Progress; 4.2 k" The bottom of the graphic is entirely a torn piece of old paper that says, "vampire namjoon, yoongi, + taehyung, light angst, orgasm denial, other additional tags to be added"

Greetings, little ravens! 🖤

We are preparing the scrolls tonight. Our ravens will be arriving with your tales very soon.
An olive green background is overlayed with a scroll that has "ANNOUNCEMENT" written at the top centre in old stylistic font. This is followed by the words, "The moderators at BTS Gothique Fest are most pleased to present the second round of work reveals, arriving to the timeline on the morrow beginning at 7:00 PM EST!" This is followed by three antique frames. The first frame says, "7:00 PM; kiss it better then bite me harder." The second frame says, "7:15 PM; Until the Hellebores Bloom." The third frame says, "7:30 PM; Can You Feel the Alchemy?."

This graphic is titled "Reveals". The background is coffee-stained parchment. On either side of the words, there are two Victorian style homes with street lamps in front of them. A tree stands in front of the house on the left.

A dark olive green background with a beige banner in the top middle that says, "I've Been Thinking Of You" Below that is the summary - Taehyung must have mentioned him at some point. It's natural that Hajoon would be curious about his father. He just didn't expect his questions to come so soon, or rather, his assertions. Hajoon offers statements of absolute fact that leave Taehyung reeling. He has him dropping the carving knife onto the cutting board. These are things Taehyung doesn't have an answer for. On the left there are tiny pieces of old paper lined up. From top to the bottom piece they say, "Taejoon; Teen; Complete; 6.1 k" The bottom of the graphic is entirely a torn piece of old paper that says, "major character death, dead/ghost namjoon, grief/mourning, haunting, hurt/comfort, healing"

A dark olive green background with a beige banner in the top middle that says, "Had To Meet The Devil Just To Earn His Flame" Below that is the summary - Feeling very melancholy after a failed first kiss with Jeongguk, Jimin has an unexpected, eerie and possibly deadly encounter while on a trip home to Busan. When Jeongguk and Jimin's hyungs discover him in an unbelievable and horrible state, they're unsure what to do to save him from something they'd never imagine was real? Something quite possibly evil, something with a plan that might just take Jimin from them. On the left there are tiny pieces of old paper lined up. From top to the bottom piece they say, "Jikook; Mature; In Progress; 7.1 k" The bottom of the graphic is entirely a torn piece of old paper that says, "ghost story, possession, hurt/comfort, paranormal, falling in love, blood, aftermath of violence"

A dark olive green background with a beige banner in the top middle that says, "The Abandoned Castle Deep In The Woods" Below that is the summary - Jungha is starved, cold and tired from living in the forest alone. A late fall storm makes her seek refuge in an old castle but she doesn't know there is already someone occupying the abandoned brooding building. Soojin takes Jungha in and never wants her to leave. On the left there are tiny pieces of old paper lined up. From top to the bottom piece they say, "Jinkook; Mature; Complete; 5.5 k" The bottom of the graphic is entirely a torn piece of old paper that says, "au - victorian, cis female jungkook, cis female seokjin, curses, strangers to lovers, forced caretaking"

A dark olive green background with a beige banner in the top middle that says, "The Witch and His Swordsman" Below that is the summary - Jungkook always gets what he wants. He’s top of his class, captain of the university football team, and loved by his church. But he has a secret. For most of his life, chronic pain has tormented him.

On the left there are tiny pieces of old paper lined up. From top to the bottom piece they say, "Taekook; Explicit; In Progres; 8.8 k" The bottom of the graphic is entirely a torn piece of old paper that says, "#au - college/university, au - witchcraft, religious imagery and symbolism, catholic guilt"

Any Jikook Gothic enthusiasts here? 👀

We have a mysterious Jikook prompt for you!

🔗: archiveofourown.org/collections/...
🔗: forms.gle/A2Ew8LUz4Vvt...
A graphic with a background of the colour of old paper on the right 2/3rds and navy blue on the left. There are two ribbons on the left with the words, "Page#4" and "Any." The top middle of the old paper background says, "Unclaimed Prompt" with two filigree lines below. Below this it says, "They’re doing work in the old village church. The priest told his flock they had found a most renowned stained glass artisan who was willing to replace the old simple glass windows. Jungkook has yet to see the mysterious artisan, but from the whispers he’s heard, he must be very skilled. For now, only one stained glass window has been placed, a roaring lion standing proudly on two legs. Clasping his cloak closer to his throat, the baker’s apprentice leaves the church with the other members of the parish, risking a last glance to the stained glass window. Only, the lion has disappeared. DW: Roles can be reversed, Mystery, fine with open-ending DNW: Omegaverse, bp, D/S"

Below this it says, "Every morning at dawn, Namjoon steps out from his car, walks down to the empty beach, and drives a knife through the heart of the slowly rising body on the sand. They deserve it. His hands don’t shake anymore. It’s been three years of this. 1,095 mornings of the same thing, before he spends the rest of his day acting like it doesn't happen. They’ve stopped begging, too. Until one day, when the reincarnated man is standing in the waves lapping at the beach when Namjoon arrives, and he knows, instantly, it’s not the same person. DW: healing? eventual relationship? eventual smut but with a knife kink? genuinely have no idea where this should go! please surprise me :) DNW: first person"

A graphic with a background of the colour of old paper on the right 2/3rds and navy blue on the left. There are two ribbons on the left with the words, "Page#2" and "Namseok." The top middle of the old paper background says, "Unclaimed Prompt" with two filigree lines below. Below this it says, "Kim Namjoon is a Dustbinder - one of the few scholars entrusted with maintaining the most dangerous texts in the Grand Archive. His oath is clear: never read the cursed tomes, never let them speak, never let them feel. Then Jung Hoseok appears. A visiting scholar researching forbidden symbology, Hoseok is golden, curious, and far too kind. He brings with him a slim black volume: unmarked, unshelved, unregistered. A book that should not exist. And it knows Namjoon. It speaks in Namjoon’s voice. It calls Hoseok “mine.” As forbidden feelings rise, Namjoon must choose: obey the library’s oath and erase the grimoire—or read it aloud with Hoseok and become part of the spell forever. DW: Magical academia with strict codes, longing, restraint, temptation between the lines, atmospheric libraries, ancient curses, happy of hopeful ending DNW: Bittersweet or sad ending, first person POV, MCD, fest restrictions"
