Fae Jimin AU Headcanons
Fae!Jimin x Reader
Summary: Catching you before you fall away, he decides that you could help him with his work as an overviewer of the Sidh, helping make sure that the balance between worlds stays even, falling for your humanity as he tries to show the wonder in your own world.
Warnings: Swearing, lil angst, supernatural elements, only partially proofread
A/N: This is an idea Iâve been obsessed with for a while(cause Iâm a folklore nerd), but could never figure out an overarching plot to make it into a series, so I present for your consideration: Jimin, the emotional support Fae roommate lol.
(reminder that if thereâs any points you want to be made into further HCs, blurbs, etc, send me an ask!)

How you met:
He stopped you from falling into a fairy ring in the woods. Youâd happened across it while on a walk to clear your head while upset about something and ending up standing there studying it for several minutes, contemplating how nice it must be to just be able to fall into a different world where no one knew you and you could start over. Shaking out of your revere, you had turned to leave, only for your damn ankle to twist and send you off balance.
âCareful!â A pair of gentle hands came out of nowhere, grabbing your wrists and pulling you into him. You looked up and were met with his soft eyes on you.
âYou should be careful.â He warned. âYou know what they say if you step in those, you might end up in the fairy realm and not get to come back.â âWhat if thatâs what I want?â You replied. He looked back at you, suddenly serious. âYou donât want that, trust me.â
After that, you keep running into him everywhere(partially due to his newfound fascination with you), eventually figuring out what he is.
He explains that heâs a type of Fae called the Sidh(pronounced shee) which are basically a type of overviewer of the Fae, their role being to keep balance and make sure that the others donât cause too much trouble.
âThereâs a lot of different doorways to and from this world, and not all of them are nice.â He explains to you, visibly tense. âSometimes just going through the wrong door can kill you.â
Teaches you how to spot Fae.
Points out a couple walking along on the other side of the road. âSee them?â He asked, leaning close as he whispers to you.
âOne of them is a Sidh?â
He shakes his head, motioning to the child you hadnât noticed trailing behind them, bouncing about, overly hyper.
âThe kid?!â You exclaim, turning to him, suddenly realizing how close he was to you.
âWait.â He leaned in, gently placing his hands over your eyes for a moment, a tingling sensation washing over your skin before pulling away. âNow look.â
You blinked, slightly dazed before you turned back, letting out a gasp as your eyes found the family again.
While the couple were the same, the childâs appearance had shifted drastically; limbs slightly too long and thin, large, glassy black eyes, their skin now a pale, almost grayish color, they almost looked like an alien.
âWhat the-?â
âA changeling.â He said lowly.
Teaches you about some of his magic, but warns that some of it can have âadverseâ effects on humans
âWait! What about my eyes then?!â You asked suddenly.
He looked back at you slyly. âDonât worry, itâs only temporary, this time. It should wear off in a few hours.â
He turned to walk away. âSee you at home!â
Winds up just moving in with you in your little house on the edge of town that runs along the woods at the back.
âYouâre a Witch!â He realized loudly as he surveyed your house, taking in the crystals and new-age items littered around(heâs not exactly right about this, but youâll explain that to him later). You canât tell if heâs excited or upset by this discovery at first.
(itâs both because, as he explains, his âcharmsâ donât work as well on other magical beings, hence the constant bickering between the two of you. The fact that he canât just âmakeâ you agree with him irritates him to no end)
Ends up revealing(probably during a fight) that he might be stuck in this world.
âI canât go back!â âCanât or wonât?!â âBoth!â He yells. âI donât know if I can, and if I could, I donât want to! I like it here, with you.â His voice falters, shaking with emotions. âI want to stay with you.â
About him:
His eyes change color; sometimes theyâre gray, sometimes blue, one time you couldâve sworn they were purple, but most of the time, theyâre a varying shade of brown.
Fangs(youâd be surprised how often fae have them in old stories): His are small and rather feline looking, but he only shows them if heâs really angry or frightened.
Age: Not entirely sure. He says heâs been around awhile, but time moves differently for them. They still age similar to humans, just slower. They might live for longer too, but you canât tell if he was joking or not about that one.
The biggest sweet tooth, holy shit. You once caught him in the middle of the night eating nothing but pure sugar with a spoon, he literally canât get enough of the stuff.
The first time you gave him cotton candy, his eyes got so big, youâre pretty sure he ascended to another plane.
As well as a sweet tooth, he loves alcohol and has a very high tolerance. He can get drunk, but it takes A LOT.
Surprisingly good at lying for a Fae.
He? Perches? Everywhere?
Like, he canât just sit on the couch? Nope, heâs on your desk, the kitchen table, the bathroom counter. Itâs like living with a giant cat.
Which reminds me, he has ABSOLUTELY NO CONCEPT OF PERSONAL SPACE.
Youâre trying to cook? Heâs there. Going to bed? Heâs there. Open the curtain to get out of the shower and yep, heâs there, just chilling.
Literally the âHey, I was- why are you screaming? Anyway, are we out of oreos?â meme.
Walks super close to you, intentionally bumping your shoulders.(canât tell if this is him being affectionate or annoying)
Very noseyinquisitive. Goes through all your shit, asking questions and throwing judgy looks at you, but for the oddest, most random things, like the color of your toothbrush.
Trying to explain âhuman thingsâ to him and how people normally act and behave. âBut youâre not like that?â He commented curiously, watching you. âThatâs because Iâm⌠weird.â You said, without looking up. âI like weird.â He mumbles.
Some nights when itâs quiet, you find him out in the back garden, just sitting, sometimes with his eyes closed, almost as if heâs meditating, other times just staring off into the trees. Youâve wondered about what heâs thinking of when heâs out there, but he doesnât tell you much.
The first time you got sick with him there, he was an absolute wreck, hardly leaving your side for more than a moment, even watching over you when you slept. Did everything he could think of to make you feel better, even considered magic, but you shut that one quick, so he just suffices with loads of tea and soup.
Likes to believe he can be somewhat intimidating or scary, but to you he's a literal ball of marshmallow fluff.
âYou think I canât be scary?â He asked in a low voice, looming over you with a dark glint in his eyes.
âNope.â You boop him on the nose, making him pout.
âYou didnât even let me try!â He whined loudly.
âThereâs no point, you donât scare me!â You laughed.
âI should though! I am an ominous, fearsome creature from the otherworld!â He proclaimed dramatically, making you laugh harder. âI will drain your lifeforce for my own power!â
âThatâs for vampires!â You giggled.
âVampires are a type of Sidh.â
âWait really?!â You perked up in interest, making him roll his eyes and walk away. âAre they really? Jimin?!â
