let me pitch: dongwook in your typical cheesy kdrama setting, but with both male and female love interests
Icarus by Bastille, Icarus & Apollo by Ripto, Icarus by The Crane Wives and I,Carrion (Icarian) by Hozier I love you all
to go back to my statement of not having enough morally grey wlw ladies in asian dramas - i just recently started Couple of Mirrors and it's a cold-hearted assassin and a kind writer / socialite who found out her husband and best friend were having an affair getting together set in like 1920s / 1930s Shanghai???
Lmao, you know what's my favourite holiday memory? I was like five or six, and my parents, my sister and I went on a holiday with a few friends of them.
One day, my parents bought some sort of bread for dinner that I ADORED. And they were like 'No, that's not for you. Don't eat it!'. Well guess what stupid me did. Exactly, I ate one.
So in the afternoon of that day, there was something about a thief on tv, and my dad told me not to steal, because, the police will always find me. So no joke, I was horrified tgat the police would arrest me for stealing bread.
So, I ran up the stairs, and fckin slipped.
I hit my head on one of the steps, but I was still fine, and then, about 5 centimeters before getting some serious brain injury, my dad catches me,
by the foot.
And like every time somebody brings this up I'm like, 'yeah, I almost had some serious brain injury because of a goddamn piece of bread'. Like, that's a story to tell
Hey, could you tell me a little about "Heart-shaped box" and "Overshot the target"? <3
Ofcc <33
So, "Overshot the target" is not about Strangers from Hell, but a trilogy called The Locked Tomb that's essentially just lesbian necromancers and sword women in space. So it's about Gideon and Harrowhark but a 1960s Summer Camp counselors AU in which they have the same enemies to lovers thing going on that they do in the novels but in a less fantastical setting.
Still not very fleshed out, but I want to make Gideon a muscular jock and Harrowhark a fencer (which is also them in canon but less fantastical xdd)
Probably won't be longer than a One-Shot (albeit a ~20k one xd)
"Heart-shaped box" however is a Strangers from Hell wip. It's a ghost-hunting au sort of?
In this AU Jongwoo moves to a countryside village to get away from his mom and girlfriend (who all live in Busan) bc said village is pretty close to a mysterious hotel that's sort of always been there and due to the surrounding landscape and its location being pretty isolated it's quite beloved by celebrities. But it's also supposedly haunted.
Now this is where another wip (the "herb doctor ghost" one) comes into play, bc I don't know how I want to connect the ideas. But essentially some centuries ago Moonjo was a really skilled doctor who worked a lot with herbs and could seemingly cure anything to the point that he had gotten a reputation. Namely that he was in kahoots with some demonic things, and that was he some sort of witch, which resulted in him being killed.
(I know that shamans or witches in historical Korea being killed was not that common, they were more likely just ostrasized or shunned according to brief research, but for the sake of this AU Moonjo was simply an outlier.)
So now, ~300 years later, Moonjo haunts the grounds on which he was killed, and the hotel that was built on top of them. And Jongwoo and new-found friends in the village decide to go on a little excursion to the hotel and see whether or not it's really haunted.
It might be too much for a one-shot, but maybe 2-3 long chapters like my Crimson Peak AU

I’ve decided to make a masterlist of asks I’ve done to make them easier to find for you guys (and for myself). I split them into categories as best as I could by genre and topic. Also, some asks have some helpful tips in the notes as well to check out (some are marked but not all) and if you have anything to add that you think would help, feel free to reply or reblog with your addition. I’ll try to keep it updated with future asks.
Now without further ado, the strangest and most wonderful list I’ve ever made.
