I’m alive!!! My apologies everyone for just disappearing 😔 The summer passed by so fast and I’ve been swamped ever since the semester started (grad school ain’t no joke lol). The next time I posted I wanted to have some sort of update on part 7, but I figured at this point I should say something! My apologies for how long the wait has been, this first part of the series should’ve been done at the beginning of this year, but ahhh!!! I’m so sorry yall! But just to reassure you guys, no this account isn’t abandoned, and no For the Birds isn’t abandoned!! I’ve just been busy, I’m awful at multitasking, and I’m doing the best I can :’) I said this when I first posted the series, but all the chapters this for first part are written! I’m basically just editing them as we go. Some of them though I’m making some pretty big revisions to, most of my works after getting betaed end up being a few extra thousand words more than my original draft, so it does take some time. I’m hoping to get back to you guys in a few weeks! Thanksgiving break is soon and then winter break is a few weeks after that. Part 7 should be ready before the end of the year!

As always though, if you prefer not to wait and have some spare time, there are always spots open to beta the next few parts! If this sounds interesting and you’re 18+, please just dm me and feel free to ask questions if you have any about expectations or things like that.

Last thing I’ll say is that I have a proposition for you guys! Which one would you prefer? Once part 7 is complete would you prefer for me to just go ahead and release it, or would you prefer for me to wait until I’m also ready to post part 8? I say this because both part 7 and part 8 currently are under 10k (just barely lol), and for those who want me to come back with something a bit more substantial, part 7 and 8 together would equal about how long some of the other parts are (currently around 17k). Now I will say, part 7 and 8 would not be posted on the exact same day, but they’d be posted within a week of each other depending on what’s going on, if we go with that option! So considering this, which would you prefer?

Thank you for your patience guys 😭🫶🏽!

This is a petition against the "FTBA" (Freedom to Breath Agency) and a lady from it. 

I don’t like how she treats him and the disrespect she has but I do want to give her the benefit of the doubt. This story has been mostly through jungkook’s pov and a little bit of y/n’s, maybe yuri never wanted to get married and was forced/pressured and is taking it all out on her husband instead of maturely going about it? Just a thought…you mentioned her character was created to be hated and you’ve definitely succeed in that but I get a feeling there’s more to her character than a bland sense of insecurity.

Not gonna lie I put it on my calendar as a reminder for the new chapters since I sometimes forget with how busy life gets and I’m sure you’ve been quite busy as well. Take your time and put yourself first 💖

Yes I will be once I figure it out! I was going to wait till after part 6 is posted so I can plan and discuss with my betas how we plan to move forward! I’m unfortunately a little more busy than I usually am during a semester (my classes just all want to give me work every week for some reason). I feel so bad for the lack of updates (part 8 should have come out today :’D), but I’m doing what I can when I have time + trying to coordinate with betas!

Also, I have a question, why the title of the fic is ' For The Birds' ?🤔(Idk why I feel so dumb for asking this 🫣)

Anyways, Have a great day ahead 🤍 Lots Of Love to you <3

Ahhh! I’m so glad you’re enjoying the series so far ☺️🥹🫶🏽~~ Excited for the next chapters as well! Lots of love to you too~

Oooo I knew I’d get this question at some point! For those who don’t know but ‘For the Birds’ is a saying basically implying worthlessness. Ex usage: “Forget about it. It’s for the birds.”

Ik I’m sorry friends 😭 I’ve been prepping for a bunch of exams I’m having to take so progress has been slower than I would have liked :’) Trust friends, I have been working on part 6 any time I could!

Yay! Glad you’re enjoying the series so far 🤗~ This was was a great question I wanted to answer at some point in time, but basically I have two answers!

There was a series here on tumblr I read a looonnnngggg time ago that essentially became the basis for the story (I’m so sorry, I don’t know the name, but if anyone does please comment or something >-<). It was about Jungkook being in this loveless marriage (though it wasn’t arranged) and he just wasn’t coming to terms with it and ending it, instead he let things continue and then him and his girlfriend… wife…. (I forgot lol) started looking for surrogates to start the process of a family, and here comes Y/n… I didn’t get too far into it, it was wayyyy to messy for my taste, but that grayness and depression Jk felt about his marriage became the inspo for my Jungkook though I changed up the context. Originally Jk’s depression was written a lot more like that, Yuri was less abusive and more along the lines of just distant, but for the longest time figure out why she would be odd with the sexual part of the relationship (that had always been one of the biggest strains, and the main reason beforehand on why Jk moved out of the relationship) and to establish enough somewhat justification for him eventually cheating, I decided to up the antics a little.

That’s where part two comes in and idk if anyone here watches Helluva Boss on YouTube but for my friends who do, Stolas and Stella’s relationship essentially inspired what it turned out today!

I would go more in detail but I don’t want to spoil, so I might come back to this wayyy down the line when more parts are out to give a little more detail about some more specific things :3
