SHINee 5 | Spirit AU

So I got this idea while playing Onmyoji so can you make Minho Jonghyun and Onew as people that summons spirits and Key is Jonghyun’s special Fox Spirit and Taemin Minho’s special something spirit    - aliashawol

Onew, Jonghyun and Minho are Mediums and have a temple that many people visit to reach loved ones. They use ancient methods of contacting spirits and have a very unique approach that many are skeptical of, though they have never been proven fake.

Onew

Onew runs the temple and has always practiced safe summoning spells, the temple has been passed down through his family to the eldest child.

He grew up with Key and Taemin has his keepers and protectors

As per the rules, he had to find two clear-sighted men to help him.

He sent Taemin and Key into the city to find who he was looking for.

Key came back with Jonghyun and Taemin with Minho

Onew gifted his companions to his new trainees.

He is very in tune with spirits and he is connected to the spirit world due to a curse set on his family.

Back before modern technology, his grandmother was a human of clear sight and a witch.

She misused magic and had found a way to enslave spirits for her benefit.

Upon her death, she was bound to the human world and a curse was placed on her bloodline.

All descendants would be clear-sighted and tasked to help all lost souls.

They would be allowed two children, and of the two children, the spirits would decide who their caretaker would be.

If the child wasn’t chosen, they would lose their sight of the spirit world.

Her only son was to build a temple to house lost spirits until they could be given a rest.

He built a large temple with many sacred rooms on the lower level each for different kinds of spells and summoning.

Above the temple, he made his house, where all descendants have lived from then on.

Onew had an older sister but he was chosen due to his calm and nurturing personality, but also for his intense need for peace.

Onew never complained about giving his future for his distant relative’s mistakes.

He just wanted the spirits he’d seen since he was a baby get help.

Upon being chosen he was gifted two companions to help teach and guide him, but also to act as gatekeepers to the spirit realm, leading the souls towards the light but never stepping in themselves.

One of them was a fox spirit, Key, who was to teach him to be forceful and outspoken in a way that would offend the spirits he would deal with among other things.

The other was Taemin, a swan spirit who was to teach him to be freer and how not to dwell on things.

He grew up with them from the age of 10 and they have always been his best friends.

He saw the kind of people they brought with them and decided that Jonghyun and Minho needed what Key and Taemin were best at and then assigned his best friends to his new partners.

Jonghyun

Jonghyun was a simple office worker before Key found him.

He hated his life, working 12 hours days and barely getting paid enough to sustain him

His mom had always told him he was meant to do great things that would touch many people.

But he didn’t think sending emails while working customer service was really what she meant.

One November day there was a warm breeze that filled his cubicle.

He turned and saw a fox sitting near his bag.

Jonghyun froze and looked around.

When the fox took his small bag and ran with it, he had to follow.

He followed the fox into the bathroom.

How did that fox even open the door?

“Yah, give me that.” He took his bag back as the fox became a human man with fox-like features like the tail and ears.

He fell back against the door, hecka confused.

After some convincing and short introductions, Key managed to get Jonghyun to go with him to the temple to meet Onew.

Jonghyun was pretty skeptical at first, but after seeing Key turn into a fox and back into a human, and then watching Onew show him some magic he was easily convinced.

He picked up on the talking to spirits part easily compared to Minho but was crap at magic.

He and Key bonded together very quickly and he felt himself fall for the Fox spirit.

After being there for a year he is given the chance to leave or stay, and he chooses to stay right away.

Mainly for the others.

But also, for himself.

Maybe his mom was right.

Key

Waking up in the arms of a small child was confusing for the fox spirit.

The last thing he remembered was falling off a cliff while leading some of his boy scouts hiking.

A storm hit and it got windy, and he saved a kid by sacrificing himself.

The fates smiled upon him and made him into a guiding spirit, a fox.

He didn’t choose this.

But being able to help lost souls like himself, and his new friend, the swan find solace was good enough.

Sure he missed his life, but Onew’s journey was more important, or at least that’s what the old lady told him.

Years passed filled with stressful training on how to be good guides and how to help Onew and collaborate with Taemin.

But they were some of the best times of his life.

So the change of Onew bringing in two newcomers scared him.

But following his gut and sense of smell led him to a large, bland office building.

It wasn’t exactly the type of place he was looking for to find the person he had a vision of.

A good-looking man, very thin, light brown hair, and a very thin face with the best cheekbones he’d ever seen.

But his eyes are what struck Key. They were puppy dog eyes.

Adorable.

Key wandered the large building up to the 15th floor where he found the man’s cubicle.

What a drab place.

He took the man’s bag and brought him into the bathroom.

The look on this puppy dog’s face when Key turned into a human.

Priceless.

He took a liking to this man, Jonghyun.

When Onew said he’d be helping Jonghyun, he got unusually excited.

Minho was also a good addition to the team, even if they did but heads a lot.

Key was happier than he was while alive.

Even if he was stuck as part fox now.

Minho

Minho was a bland kind of guy.

His life felt meaningless.

He was going to school for a law, which he hated. But he wanted to please his family.

His family didn’t even like him, so he never really understood why he tried so hard.

It was finals week and he was honestly 1000% done and he was washed up.

He was trying to study next to a tree by some pond at a park near his crappy studio apartment.

He kept letting himself get distracted because his heart wasn’t into studying.

He noticed this really, really beautiful swan perched in the water near him.

He stupid the swan for a while and threw a piece of his bagel into the water for it.

He could’ve sworn he saw the bird blink at him.

He was more confused was the swan swam to the bank of the pond and clambered out of the water and over to Minho.

Minho moved the book out of his lap so he could reach forward to pet the strange swan.

The swan perched itself in his lap instead and Minho laughed, talking to the swan cutely.

“You’re so precious, look at you.” He smiled, feeling the soft white feathers.

In an instant, the swan was replaced by a man who looked only slightly younger than himself.

“Holy shi-”

“Nice to meet you too! I’m Taemin, the Swan spirit guide. You’re a clear-sighted human, and so you’re coming with me to help guide spirits, there are a lot more benefits than going into law could give you, plus you get me too!” he winked, “so lets throw those textbooks into the garbage can and I’ll bring you to the temple.”

Minho argued and debated the swan for an hour before he was convinced to at least go see what was going on.

Minho would never regret that choice.

He’d been to the temple as a child when his mom died. His dad had taken him and his elder brother to try to talk to her.

Ever since Minho had seen her spirit appear and talk to them, he’d believed in spirits despite what others said.

He got into it, trying to outdo Jonghyun at being a helper.

He was great at the magic part, becoming very strong and skilled quickly, but he lacked good communication skills needed to effectively talk to the spirits.

That’s why Taemin helped him so much, the swan was easily able to cover the areas Minho lacked.

And Minho felt himself fall for the young swan.

This was the best choice he’d ever made.

Taemin

Taemin was pretty confused for three reasons.

He was a bird, He woke up in some kids arms next to a fox, and he was pretty sure that he was a human-like, 20 minutes prior.

Taemin was a young college dropout who had taken a dangerous route in life.

His friends were bad people, but they were all he had.

He’d grown up as an orphan without any friends.

So when they wanted to rob a bank, Taemin let himself get dragged into it.

They took hostages, and when the police came in and started shooting, Taemin saved a young girl who had tried to run as the bullets were fired.

He took a bullet and woke up in the arms of a child.

He was okay being a swan, they were cool, right?

He learned quickly what his role was as a spirit guide, and as a guardian of Onew.

He loved Onew and Key a lot, they quickly became his family, and he loved them like his own brothers.

He was a little upset when Onew suggested that invite others to help. He was afraid it would mess up his family dynamic.

But as he sat in the water, waiting for someone to see him, he felt like his heart exploded as soon as he made eye contact with him.

He knew that his man was who they needed.

Once he convinced the stubborn man, Minho, to come with him the rest was history.

He grew close to Minho and Jonghyun, but he would always have a thing for Minho, as his guardian.

Him and Minho complemented each other greatly, and that what made him love Minho.

He was very content, now that he had a family, people who genuinely loved him.

A/N I love you guys!!
