Pairing: Jimin x Original Character

Summary from AO3: The first time you meet your soulmate, it leaves a bruise on both of you at the point of contact. From then on, your body begins rejecting any sustenance other than the touch of your soulmate. The trick is, the bruises take a few hours to appear, so you have to figure out who you've touched and find them before you starve to death. But once you do, all you ever need is them. So what happens if you're an idol and you meet your soulmate at a fan event?

Warnings: near death experiences, starvation, body image issues

Length: 100k+, Chaptered

Status: Complete

Review: One of the very first BTS fics I ever read in entirety. Sold me on the idea that fan-fiction could be truly compelling literature. I am such trash for soulmate AUs and this is my all-time favorite. The OC is so well-realized with her own flaws and struggles and you really feel for her throughout the story. I was hooked on her and the plot within minutes of starting this fic. This also has my absolute favorite fictional depiction of Jimin. The author did so much research to make sure this story lined up with BTS’s actual timeline in real life. It’s incredibly impressive.

Pairing BTS, Jimin/Original Female Character

My Take I loved, loved, loved this fic! The characters reacted to this odd situation in very believable ways. I don’t read much fic involving original characters, so I was a little wary, but I think the author pulled it off really well. Highly recommended.

I have! I’m actually subscribed to it on AO3. :3 And I’m friends with the writer, @thingsthatarenotbagels!

What is your dream job? It has to be something someone would pay you for, but it can be ANYTHING. To be a professional reactor to media, so like a critic/editor? I’m angling to be an editor for a publishing house, so I’m going for the dream!! I might just end up copy-editing or something, but eh.

What is your favorite junk food? Lays sour cream and onion potato chips, no contest. So greasy but so good...

You have been exiled from your current home county. You have to pick somewhere else (anywhere else) to live for the rest of your life. Where do you go? I’m a timid bean who doesn’t speak any language besides English, so an English-speaking country for sure. I’d say Australia. I don’t like the cold or too much rain, so the UK is right out.

Do you drink enough water every day? Not often T-T. I’ve been getting better lately, for sure!! I’ve been wanting to take better care of my skin, but I’m not sure how to do that?? The only thing all the lists/posts have in common is to drink a lot of water so that’s what I’m doing lol

With infinite time to complete a journey, would you rather drive, take a train, fly, or sail to get to your destination? If it’s about the journey, I’d rather drive. Listening to music is an important part of travel for me, and being in my own car means I can play the music out loud instead of having to listen through headphones. I prefer flying for practical purposes though, for the speed, even though it’s uncomfortable.

What do you want most right this second? For it to be tomorrow. (lol that sounded deep but I just actually want to eat a burrito that’s in the fridge for breakfast)

You are allowed to say one unique word to each member of your favorite kpop group (but only that one word). What do you say to each of them and why? Ah jeez. To BTS, then. I’d honestly probably say “thanks” to each and every member. They all work really hard and if I could say anything (no word limit) to each of them, it would just be thanking them for their hard work in XYZ specific areas, so paring it down to one word, it would have to be “thanks”.

What is the last story you read? It can be fic or a book or an article or whatever. I just caught up on the last couple chapters of the manga Detective Conan, so now I’m up to date!

How useful would you be an a post-apocalyptic world? Would you be the first to die or do you have survival skills? I would actually die immediately. I’ve thought about this situation before and honestly I don’t think I’d want to live in a post-apocalyptic world of any variety. I have no survival skills at all and a tenuous at best “drive to survive”. On a personal level, I never understand what drives characters forward in apocalypse stories. I’d just hang out at my house until I died of apocalypse, honestly.

Do you need/use anything to fall asleep at night? If so, what and why? (i.e. music, drugs, specific pillow, reading beforehand, etc) I don’t need anything to fall asleep! Just have to force myself to lay down and not get up/read on my phone/stare out my window, but that’s not a specific item.
