GO READ THIS BOOK!!!!! I never read au’s but I gave this one a chance cause I read some of the authors other work. This is seriously one of the best books I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading (I’m talking all literature not just fan fiction). It’s three books worth of literature in length (word count wise), and yet I read it in a day and a half with no sleep. I have honestly fallen so in love with this universe and the way it was written and it’s characters, I can’t even explain it. I’ve literally gone numb after finishing it. Since I read the story’s summary I had been shaking in excitement and anticipation, and that tension and buzzing in my body stayed till the end. I haven’t even properly processed it all yet. I’ve only ever reread one book (book series technically, and that was PJO) and it’s my favorite book/series of all time. I can already tell I’m going to read this book again, which is a lot coming from me. It’s not even been 24 hours since I finished it and each thought/memory I have gives me a pang in my chest and my mind darts to every detail I can remember. It’s been a really long time since something’s f*cked me up as much as this, and even now I don’t think I’m giving it justice. Whether I reread it in a week or right after I finish this post, I honestly don’t know, but I will. If you love Yoonmin (or the pairings of vkook or namjin) you NEED to read this book. Even if you don’t like AU’s, go and give it a shot. TRUST ME, YOU WONT REGRET IT
And to the beautiful author who wrote this masterpiece, Thank You!!

Summary: In a world where dominance of the sea is an endless battle between pirates and mariners, Park Jimin is content living in his little village on a small, uninteresting island by the eastern mainland. He wants nothing to do with the bloodshed of good and evil, the heartless killing of both innocents and condemned, the constant establishment and disruption of order. What he wants is peace, to live his life in the same town he was born in, to spend his days in the beautiful forest, and to use the powers of his Blessed Rune to nurture the home he loves so dearly.But when his island is attacked by pirates, Jimin will have no other choice than to do as they command and leave all thoughts of peace behind in favor of boarding the Agust, a pirate ship captained by the infamous Min Yoongi, Black Fox of the East.

I understand all of these and they are 100000% correct.
All except the SPN one (never watched it).
Where is the lie though?
I can think of few other ships meanwhile... not to mention I definitely have a type 😁😈
All right, let’s break his down @netflix. I’ve worked it all out and I want to present it to you because I REALLY think it’s worth it. You NEED to turn Percy Jackson into a TV Series.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians
Five books = FIVE SEASONS
The Lightning Thief = 22 chapters
The Sea of Monsters = 20 chapters
The Titan’s Curse = 20 chapters
The Battle of the Labyrinth = 20 chapters
The Last Olympian = 23 chapters
This makes a total of 105 chapters. Chapters = episodes. 105 EPISODES!!!!
!!!!!THEN!!!!!
If you continue on to the Heroes of Olympus series you get:
The Lost Hero = 56 chapters
The Son of Neptune = 52 chapters
The Mark of Athena = 52 chapters
The House of Hades = 78 chapters
The Blood of Olympus = 58 chapters
This makes a total of 296 chapters. That means AT LEAST another 296 EPISODES!!!!
If each chapter feasibly fits into only one episode that makes a grand total of 401 EPISODES!!!!!
This does not take into account the Trials of Apollo. Plus the 14 short stories that, more than likely, take place between the books.
For the love of the Gods, I beg you, please make this a reality!

listen. i know it's not 2014 anymore and i know it's just a throwaway line and that the russo brothers didnt intend for marvel action blockbuster captain america the winter soldier to become the tragic gay love story that never was but man. having steve say "it's kind of hard to find someone with shared life experience" in a conversation about romantic relationships right before the bucky reveal is so cruel. it's not just about steve and bucky obviously having the shared experience of being "out of time," it's the fact that they've both been stripped of their humanity in opposite directions. steve is a legend, he is an american hero and a national icon before he is a human being the same way that bucky is a weapon and a killing machine before he is a human being. steve knows that anyone who falls in love with him in the 21st century fell in love with captain america first, and that's just not him. but then the one person who knew him first and knew him best and loved him (not captain america, that little guy from brooklyn) so much he died for it is alive, impossibly. and it's a miracle because he's back and it's horrific because he's back under the worst possible circumstances. but to steve, the winter soldier is worth tearing the world apart for because he's always been bucky first. they find each other and suddenly they're human again. and maybe, despite it all, being "out of time" becomes a blessing, because in this century they'd finally be allowed to love each other the way they've always wanted to. like real people do.
like. no. the captain america trilogy isn't about two queer men traumatized and alienated by war and modern life rediscovering and reclaiming their humanity through their love for each other. but. i mean. it couldve been
Rule one of fandom: there are some things that only exist for us.
Don’t send actors fics
Don’t give them explicit art ever
Don’t tag them in rpf questions or theories
Don’t try to bring them into fandom drama of any kind
Don’t hold them responsible for what the producers and writers decide
They’re still people. They have private lives, which do not include fandom.
This literally made me tear up
If you’re still doing the prompt phrases: trembling hands
“Bucky?” Steve asks, near breathless. A drop of blood runs down his temple.
“Hi Steve,” Bucky says, reaching for Steve, who grips his hand. Bucky foists Steve up, who immediately wraps his arms around Bucky, squeezing tight. Bucky shuts his eyes as he takes Steve into his arms. He smells like dirt, like sweat, but like Steve.
“It worked,” Steve says.
“Apparently.”
“Buck,” Steve whines and God, it’s been so long since he’s heard Steve’s annoying as hell voice that he can’t help but tighten his arms around him. “I missed you, Buck,” he adds after a long moment.
“Wasn’t too bad. Sam was there.”
“Sam’s great.”
“But I missed you.”
Steve exhales, then pulls away a little, just to look at Bucky. He moves a trembling hand up to Bucky’s face. A tear falls from his eye. “I did everything to get you back.”
“I know.”
“I…” His index finger traces Bucky’s cheek bone. “I love you.”
“Steve, I—”
“Don’t, you don’t have to.” He pauses. “Just, all this time I wanted to tell you. I thought I’d never have the chance.” Something in him relaxes in Bucky’s arms. Bucky wishes that he could press him so close that they’d just become one, that they wouldn’t have to talk anymore, that they could just let their bodies say all of the things they’ve never said to each other.
But he can’t, so Bucky does what he does best, what he’s always done with his best friend. He makes fun of him a little.
“You gonna let me say it back or you gonna interrupt me again?” he snarks.
“Buck,” Steve says, voice sounding raw.
Bucky grips Steve’s hips hard, looks him in the eye. “I love you.” Another tear rolls down Steve’s grimy cheek. “I love you so much.” He wants to say something deeper, something poetic, but the words leave him as he looks at Steve’s eyes. It’s not the first time that’s happened.
Steve presses his forehead to Bucky’s, his hands moving down to his arms and holding on hard enough to bruise. “Okay,” he says. “That’s enough.” He repeats it. “That’s enough.”
“You’ve done enough. We get to rest now.”
Steve laughs; he smiles.
“Let’s go home.”
“Where’s that?” Bucky asks.
“I don’t even know. Let’s find it.”
“We have time now.”
“Yes,” Steve says. “We do.”
