Hi! I am Calli and I love writing taekook stories. Take a look around.

Taehyung is a Fork. He knows it.

Jeongguk is a Cake. He doesn't know it.

One day, Taehyung accidentally tastes a drop of sauce from Jeongguk's skin but instead of feeling the blandness, he tastes the sweetest thing he has ever tasted in his entire flavorless life—strawberry cake.

or;

a cakeverse au where Jeongguk and Taehyung are about to enjoy their fourth Valentine's Day together with a private dinner at the restaurant where the former works as a chef. Before they head there, Jeongguk remembers the events that led them here after taking a look at the photo of a pineapple makguksu dish framed on the wall of their small apartment.

(Note: this is an a/b/o spin-off. They are humans just with unique traits)

Kim Taehyung, a talented mechanic on the Aurora V space station somewhere in the Andromeda Galaxy, finds his lonely life taking a turn when one of his Automata, creations designed to serve and assist, unexpectedly demonstrates a will of its own.

He names this new Automaton JK. Inevitably, he falls in love with it. If only, it wasn't completely illegal to do so.

Summary:

"I'm gonna call you winter from now on."

"T-Taehyung-ssi... W-why?" The poor boy asks, eyes falling on the pretty heart-shaped lips and the little beauty mark on the lower petal. They look irresistible, he thinks. Way too kissable and soft.

And god, why does that man have to smell so nice? Jeongguk always hated heavy scents but Kim Taehyung smells like vanilla and strawberry. Just delicious. Ready to be devoured.

"Because soon, you'll be coming!"

Hi! I recently made a carrd to keep all my works organized. You can access it by clicking below or on the title above.

So, when you access it I have added links to my social profiles and a little Bulletin Board to add different notices/messages.

The works are organized per category.

These are all the COMPLETED ones. They are perfectly clickable. (For the time the all link back to the AO3 versions. I might add their twitfic versions there later on.)

Next, you will find the CURRENTLY UPDATING fic/fics to make it easier to access. Also, I added the entire Canon Love Ruminations series there. Everything is completed.

I love that they look like book spines on a shelf. I blame my mind for this. It said make it EXTRA and I had to listen to it... 🥲

Also, there is an ONGOING and UPCOMING section so now you can find out what comes next.

Lastly, you will see a FIC RECS section where I will add my favorite works from other writers along with a little poster. I will add more soon.

So this is it. You can check it out if you like. I will add the rest of the AO3 works later on.

ALSO! If you want to know more about the CALLICOVERSE I made a dedicated carrd/guide with useful information.

You can click HERE to get to it.

Summary:

"I want to love and be loved."

"Jeongguk-ah..."

"I want to love and be loved... by you."

Jeongguk, an electrician who has lived all his life in the dark, receives an emergency call at 4 am.

Thinking that it's serious, he drives all the way up to the client's house only to discover that the call was about a flickering light. What he also doesn't expect to find is a pianist listening to the name of Kim Taehyung who suffers from nyctophobia, an extreme fear of the dark.

A light so bright to engulf the darkness. A darkness so tempting to make you fall in love. What happens when the two collide?

Prompt:

"Have I told you about the giants of Alghubar Al'ahmar? Beasts called Alhitan Alhamra' that abandoned the water hundreds of years ago to swim in the red dust, accompanying the Ruh Alsahra', the free people of the desert, during their journeys.

But now these gentle giants are long gone, killed by the spice traders of old... The sins of the fathers, though, are carried over to the next generations, who sadly are doomed to repeat the same mistakes of the past...

The desert is calling. It demands retribution. Will you answer? Or will you choose to ignore it?"

In a world where whoever controls the Spice Emporium is the king of the world, Jeon Jeongguk has managed to become one of the most ruthless and powerful Spice Traders in the Red Dust, the center of the spice trading operations, after his late father passed away.

As the most powerful one among the spice mining tribes, Jeongguk is feared and envied by the fellow tribe leaders who won't hesitate to send assassins after him to seize his wealth and title.

Days before the annual calling of the spice leaders in the City of Winds, Jeongguk's base of operations, the young boy receives a message from a suspicious man, telling him about a new kind of spice that he has in his possession. Intrigued, Jeongguk and his loyal bodyguard, Namjoon—a slave Jeongguk saved from a cruel fate due to his peculiar hair color and eyes when he was young— travel to the old desert outpost to meet him.

What Jeongguk expected to find out was a variation of the red desert spice they have been mining.

Instead, he found a slave with eyes full of pain and skin that tastes like warm cinnamon.

A living spice, a creature of legend in the shape of a man whose eyes make Jeongguk question everything so far.

Whoever has the living spice is meant to be the king of the world. They will live forever and see visions of their future.

Now Jeongguk has to hide this little secret to prevent a brutal war. Because when the secret is out, everyone will want to get their hands on this peculiar boy going by the name Taehyung...

Prompt 🔞:

Taehyung has been the most popular high-end interior designer in Seoul. He can create opulent bathrooms and kitchens with his eyes closed. He never really gets bored of his job because he was born to design beautiful and luxurious rooms.

That until a very peculiar and anonymous client asks him to design a sex room for him. Taehyung thinks this is a joke. But then again he never says no to a challenge, especially when it comes from such a high-profile client, who, unbeknownst to him, also happens to be Taehyung's greatest nemesis.

Now how Taehyung found himself all tied up and with his client deep inside him in the same sex room he designed is a completely different story...

Or welcome to sexy interior design nights!

Prompt:

One lives in Busan, the other in France.

One is a young chef who loves creating unique dishes but tradition doesn't let him, the other a photographer who loves taking pictures of the city of light.

One hasn't been in love before, the other did and got his heart broken.

They are both sad, seeking for love in a world where being different is considered wrong...

Until one day Jeongguk discovers this queer map app where people add their experiences and there's one particular one that attracts his attention. Then he finds more of them, like thoughts scattered around the city, and he is convinced it is the same person.

Now Jeongguk needs to find them. Why? Because during his two-day trip to Seoul for a food festival a few years ago, Jeongguk got drunk and shared a kiss with a complete stranger.

And it was the best kiss in his entire life.

Sadly, he doesn't remember a name, or anything about that person...

Or maybe he recalls the taste of his lips and how they trembled against his as they kissed in the shadows by a streetlight in the city of Seoul. Maybe it's a long shot. Maybe he is imagining things.

But, when the restaurant Jeongguk is working at sends him to Paris for a two-week course on the secrets of French cuisine, the young chef dares to open the app again and what he finds, makes him believe that maybe that kiss was actually fateful.
