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?."

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"

Today's first tale has arrived!
🔗: archiveofourown.org/works/723072...
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. Afraid to lose all he’s worked so hard for, he seeks help from Taehyung, a witch who will cause him to question everything he’s been taught to believe. 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"

Spaghetti is so good and Jhope’s rap part is jus too good. And just look at him in these pictures that Teen Vogue took of him behind the scenes of the music video. I hope we get a Bangtan Bomb of him filming it.
