Gothique: A BTS Fest

Until the Hellebores Bloom Summary: “So, darling? Do you think you will like it?” “I do not know, husband.” Namjoon turned around to smile at him knowingly. “Will I get to stay here long enough to see the hellebores bloom this winter?” It had been two straight winters now that his opportunity to see the flowers in full bloom had been foiled by their plans to relocate. “That is entirely up to you, Namjoon,” Taehyung answered easily. “You only need say what you want out loud so I can do my utmost to ensure it.”

Mod 🪦 forgot to reveal the authors on AO3 but all is well now! Show our authors lots of love!

We are so glad you participated, our lovely little raven! 🖤🖤

I had the absolute pleasure of writing a little #Taejoon oneshot for @btsgothiquefest.bsky.social & this was my first time trying out the genre.

Fun fact. At ~7.4K, this is the shortest fest fic I’ve ever written, beating I Spy With My Eye…a Perplexity handily.

Mysterious husbands taejooooooooooooooooon

A dark olive green background with a beige banner in the top middle that says, "Can You Feel the Alchemy?" Below that is the summary - Hoseok attends the Society of Alchemists' monthly gathering and finds himself seated by Kim Seokjin, a new member of the Society. On the left there are tiny pieces of old paper lined up. From top to the bottom piece they say, "2seok; General; In Progress; 2.5k" The bottom of the graphic is entirely a torn piece of old paper that says, "alchemist hoseok + seokjin, magic, fantasy, au - victorian, strangers to lovers, Heated debate about mythology is flirting"

VAMPIRE JOOOOOON

A dark olive green background with a beige banner in the top middle that says, "kiss it better than bite me harder" Below that is the summary - Taehyung's job was simple: keep the peace, schedule the meetings, and offer his throat to the two ancient vampires whose silence had grown too loud. But centuries of petty jealousy, and interrupted pleasures can only go so far— Before the blood bag learns to bare his own teeth. On the left there are tiny pieces of old paper lined up. From top to the bottom piece they say, "Taegijoon; Explicit; In Progress; 4.2 k" The bottom of the graphic is entirely a torn piece of old paper that says, "vampire namjoon, yoongi, + taehyung, light angst, orgasm denial, other additional tags to be added"

Second round starts now!

An olive green background is overlayed with a scroll that has "ANNOUNCEMENT" written at the top centre in old stylistic font. This is followed by the words, "The moderators at BTS Gothique Fest are most pleased to present the second round of work reveals, arriving to the timeline on the morrow beginning at 7:00 PM EST!" This is followed by three antique frames. The first frame says, "7:00 PM; kiss it better then bite me harder." The second frame says, "7:15 PM; Until the Hellebores Bloom." The third frame says, "7:30 PM; Can You Feel the Alchemy?."

Greetings, little ravens! 🖤

We are preparing the scrolls tonight. Our ravens will be arriving with your tales very soon.
