#my regulars

Hello, it's nice to see you again - I hope you've been doing well!

Omg, they would be preschoolers by now, that's so crazy to think about. I always promised to return to the series so I am kind of sad that so much time has passed and I haven't been able to do that. God, would I love to return to Positive again...but I also forgot about that headcanon we made up where their children would get together after being archenemies lmao, I would love to write that but I don't think anyone would read it because it wouldn't focus on the members themselves.

Nah, we're getting food then buying a warderobe but here's my rings in the meanwhile

Basically, I would make a price point for a certain word count and people could essentially request something they wanted me to write and I would be paid to write what they want and then post it.

It's something I am super apprehensive about and I have been thinking about it for two years now. It's definitely not set in stone and it would be super hectic to set up.

Reading all these stories was fun. Can't wait to read the Namjoon story once you're. It feels like a grand finale haha.

Hello again! Woah, I can't believe you read so much so quickly!

Lol, it was so funny because the idea to title all of them with a word beginning with P came to me after writing Purgatory. At that point, I thought it would be fun to continue the trend for the rest of the fics! It's also quite a problem now though because I just realized just how many of my fics begin with the letter P 😅 With the current fic I am writing I made sure to stray from that to avoid confusion.

And yeah, Pursuit was super fun because it was almost like a detective-style fic from the MC's point of view while she is also being tormented by the very person she believes is helping her. I can't remember who gave me the idea for the fic, but I believe I credited them on the post? I'll have to go back and check!

As for Jin's fic, yeah he was pretty special in the sense he was the only one paying close enough attention to figure out what was going on. The thing about the scenes with the MC though is that he is actively choosing not to compel her. Jin likes to try and use his natural persuasion because it's more challenging and more fun that way. He really only uses compulsion when he absolutely needs to.

AND, there is actually a reason why all of them are finding MCs! I don't know if you guys are going to like it but I thought it was pretty clever. Do I reveal it now or save it for Joon's fic? I'm not sure 😂

Oooh you're making really good progress! And I am so glad you noticed the tonal difference between them! I really wanted to give each member their own story and their own vibes while still trying to connect them.

As for their enhancements, I have talked about them a little bit before. Basically, a prominent trait or experience from their human life could be enhanced or formed into a "gift" in their vampiric life. It can also be something that develops as a means of survival.

JK is exceptionally strong and a talented hunter but also fairly callous and unemotional. This comes from a human life where he felt weak and was bullied and abused. When he first turned he experienced immense rage but he later schooled it into apathy and just became bloodthirsty and ruthless. Still, he is physically enhanced (far stronger than anyone else) while also being emotionally affected.

Yoongi has a form of future sight, this developed due to his inability to foresee his incoming death in spite of the signs being there. Now, he gets intense feelings when something bad is about to happen.

Jimin has magnetism. In his human life, he was the casanova type and drew people towards him. Now as a vampire he can attract people towards him or choose to repel them away (this works more so on an attraction basis, becoming extremely seductive and compelling, or choosing to force people away from him - it's more emotional and mental rather than telekinetic lol)

Tae was an artist and that was a very prominent part of his life. As a vampire, he already has great eyesight, but his is far better than any other vampire he knows. It's extremely clear, he can see much farther (miles farther if he so chooses) and he has a much wider scope of peripheral vision. So he can oftentimes be the first warning system of danger alongside Yoongi.

Hoseok, much like Tae has an enhancement. He is far faster than any other vampire, so fast that when he moves it looks like he is teleporting. This was because, in his human life, he was unable to outrun his death. Much like Jungkook, he is also a very talented tracker/hunter.

Jin has compulsion, another enhancement. In his human life, he was very persuasive and was oftentimes able to get whatever he wanted in whatever deal he was making. As a vampire, he has the gift of being able to compel almost anyone to do exactly what he tells them. It's not something he enjoys using often as he still enjoys trying to use his "natural" skills, that and using this ability tends to take a lot out of him.

Joon...well Joon is still TBD 😂 As the leader of the coven and everyone's maker he does have control over them, he can instruct them to do anything and they will have to do it - there is no choice. That isn't his "gift" though, this is simply true for all maker-creation bonds.

YES! Briar Hills was my re-write of Twilight! I was a huge Twilight fan growing up so this series was my way of exploring that while also fixing some things that annoyed me about the original series!

Namjoon is our Carlisle character, but dark. JK's story is essentially Twilight if our MC were Bella and JK were James (WHAT A TWIST THAT WOULD BE!) Jimin is kind of a blend of Heidi and Rosalie. Jin is also a touch of Rosalie. Yoongi is the most like Edward (and a touch of Alice) but far better 😂 Hobi is like James and Demitri. As for Tae, he's honestly got traits of Esme but also someone else I can't really think of 😅

The town is 100% inspired by Forks Washington. The name was fun to come up with! I played with a few ideas and realized I wanted it to sound like a town from shows like Teen Wolf or The Vampires Diaries. So the name Briar Hills was inspired by Beacons Hills from Teen Wolf and Mystic Falls from The Vampire Diaries. And yes, Briar like Briar Rose! So much symbolism!
