The Idol Series is done… and I have no idea what to do with myself.

Hey friends,

So… the Idol Series is officially finished.

Eight love stories. So many tropes. So many feelings. So many “oh my god did he just say that??” moments.

It started with one fanfic and somehow turned into an entire shared universe filled with soft idol boyfriends, strong original characters, fake dating chaos, emotional confessions, generational legacy… and maybe one too many scenes where someone almost cried.

Now that it’s all wrapped up, I’m thinking of posting everything on AO3 so it’s easier to read chronologically. Would anyone be into that? Should I post each couple’s fic separately? Or organize it all as one mega-series? Open to ideas!

Also:

What should I write next???

More ATEEZ content? A new idol AU? Enemies to lovers? Something darker? Something fluffier? Oneshots? Someone stop me before I start a new 12-chapter slow burn.

If you’ve been reading, reblogging, crying, or yelling in the tags—thank you. Truly. I’m so grateful for every comment, reaction, and message. Y’all made this series something I’ll never forget.

Drop your suggestions or chaotic ideas in the replies/tags/messages—I’m lurking.

With love (and mild post-series identity crisis),

Chapter Seven

Eunchae’s POV

They talked for over an hour.
