Roseborn: Part One | Hwang Hyunjin
◤“The ravenous fire that crackled in your souls was one and the same, stoked by repressed fear and the overwhelming desire to survive in a world that only valued material power.”
A human soldier and a magic-less heir find an unlikely connection in their desperate battle to survive House Amaranthine.
◤Disclaimers: Female reader insert. This is the backstory of Hyunjin’s character in my ‘Gilded Kingdom’ wip. Can be read as a standalone. An enemies to lovers, forbidden love, fantasy debacle. Slow burn. Includes lots of angst but also some good fluff. Abusive mother. Descriptions of heavy violence and fighting, as well as blood and injury. Sparse use of vulgar language. Several made up terms are used in this story but are explained throughout. Have a quick read through the Gilded Kingdom World Guide to avoid confusion.

◤Dedicated to the lovely @missinghan! I’ll spare you the excessive sappiness, but just know that our friendship means the world to me, and you deserve nothing short of the world itself. You’re one of the most talented people I know, and I’m constantly in awe of your wonderful ideas and even more wonderful writing. This took criminally long and it’s not yet done, but I can only hope that you enjoy it nonetheless. Happy reading, and I love you so much! ♡
Part One | Part Two | Part Three
She was trying to humiliate him again, and Hyunjin knew it damn well.
He stepped into the flat square of pearly sand, schooling his features into rigid stone as he drew his Kizāri from its sheath on his back. The weapon’s trident-like head trailed in the sand, drawing a perfect half-moon around him until it met the tip of his opponent’s weapon on the ground, wielded in the same fashion.
“Y/n,” his mother had introduced her. “The best human Azārāhi we have.”
It was an insult, glaring and plain. She was mocking his Nilfyn roots by pairing him with a human—mocking the Tilt in him she deemed useless and pitiful.
Hyunjin caught the silver of her hair in his peripheral, piled on her head elegantly like strung starlight. His mother was watching him from where she stood poised as a knife in the shadows. Every blink, every breath of his was under her unrelenting scrutiny. This was a test like many before, and Hyunjin was going to cleave mountains with his bare hands if it warranted his mother’s approval.
ATTENTION MARVEL FANS!!!
BDS has added a specific MARVEL BOYCOTT because the next Captain America film features “Sabra/Ruth Bat-Seraph”—a character that personifies apartheid israel.
This character is known to:
- work for mossad
- continually talk about her hatred towards palestinians and arabs in the comics
- have attacked the hulk for helping a palestinian child (hulk briefly convinced her that palestinians are humans)
- have a syrian character (batal) as her antagonist
- bear the name of a horrific massacre (the sabra massacre—where pregnant women were murdered and their babies were cut out of their wombs) *i am aware sabra refers to a fruit but let’s be real: it is still connected to a massacre carried out by israeli armed forces on innocent civilians. (here’s a longer statement)
Marvel is complicit in anti-Palestinian racism, israeli propaganda, and the glorification settler-colonial violence. Having this character in a movie by one of the biggest franchises in the world, especially now while there is a genocide going on, is appalling and disgusting. There is no new approach one can take when the character has always been grounded in racism and propaganda.
BOYCOTT ALL MARVEL PRODUCTS UNTIL MARVEL REMOVES THIS CHARACTER
further information on the sabra and shatila massacre (to highlight how entirely tone deaf it is to have this character named “sabra” despite other definitions of the word)
STORIES FROM THE 4-DAY TRUCE
this is the reality of the situation in gaza.
this truce is not even the bare minimum of what israel could do. they stopped actively murdering palestinians but left enough destruction so they wouldn’t be able to recuperate. put enough restrictions to still oppress and torture them.
there are decaying bodies in the streets. there aren’t enough medical supplies to help treat the victims. there isn’t enough space in hospitals in the south of gaza (according to a spokesman of the MoH, as reported by QudsNetwork).
people who want to return home are being shot down since the idf is still around the area despite the ceasefire (Al Jazeera). there are also israeli drones in south of gaza (journalist Muhammad Smiry)
this fight is not over. this cause is not over. we are not done until palestinians get liberated completely and their land and rights are returned to them.
please do not get complacent. please do not stay silent. please keep speaking up. please keep contacting your representatives. please keep protesting and raising awareness.
your voices and support matters. it’s exactly why israel is trying so hard to spread propaganda and even organising phishing scams on their official social media. they’re using every ridiculous, callous, deceptive trick in the book to sway public opinion. but do not let them!
palestinian liberation is humankind’s liberation. none of us are free until oppressive and colonial forces around the world are brought to justice and charged for their crimes. do not stop speaking up. if this is a lifelong battle, so be it! we will speak up and amplify voices of the marginalised and oppressed until the very end.
Done with hot girl summer.
It’s time for

An hour or two later, you were seated on the couch next to Hyunjin, who was holding your hand and rubbing his thumb over it protectively.
After Minho returned from doing God knows what, he sulked in the corner like an angry toddler. His anger radiated in the room you three were in, and he was pissed. After deciding to sit, he had spent the better half of 20 minutes mumbling angry, incoherent sentences under his breath. It wasn’t until Chan returned that he had settled down a bit.
Emphasis on a bit.
Conversations with Minho
or what i imagine dating Minho would be like (very fluffy and soft). I'm thinking of making this a series for all the boys, let me know if you'd like that!! :)
warnings: some curse words, brief talk about kids and being a parent.
I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback <33
"Are those flowers for me?", you squeal when Minho enters the living room, a huge bouquet of baby's breath in his hands.
"No, they are for the neighbor next door", he smirks and you swat his arm playfully, before grabbing the dainty white flowers from him.
"What's the occasion, baby?", you question as you carefully place the bouquet in a vase filled with water.
"They were on discount", he winks and you roll your eyes, humming a "sure sure" under your breath.
When you're done, you skip toward Minho who was watching you- a soft smile on his face. You lace your hands around his neck, and he holds your waist; his thumbs swiping gently on your exposed sides.
Spring
making hyunjin love spring again.
i wrote this because hyunjin saying he doesn't like spring anymore devastated me. i didn't specify on why he doesn't anymore, so u can imagine whatever you like.
"I used to like spring, but I don't anymore."
That's what Hyunjin told you on your third date when you asked about his favorite season. His answer might have seemed innocent to an outsider, but the way he said it made you pause in your tracks.
There was a slight waver in his voice, so imperceptible you could've missed it had you not been listening to him intently. His hold on his spoon tightened, only for a fleeting second, before it returned to normal once again. But you noticed.
