The left side of the green graphic features a writing snippet that reads: “Yoongi holds out a hand and reluctantly, Jun-gkook takes it. It's still as warm as it had been when Jungkook had woken up and Yoongi had touched his arm. When he'd called him baby (he hated that he remembered those words now, in hindsight. But hey, at least he's able to retain new memories)."

What about Yoonkook makes you think "golden"? The fact that its an element thats warm, highly valuable. and shiny but also soft and flexible, which I think highlights exactly the kind of people they are!"

The left side of the green graphic features a writing snippet that reads: “Time is speeding up again and now there isn't ever going to be enough. "I don't even know your name."
"Name?" The stranger chuckles. "Only humans give names to stars."
Grief twists in Yoongis heart. Never has he been witness to such a monumental end as the fading of a star. "Then, can I give you a name?"
The glow is almost gone and the man looks like a handsome mortal. "You may." His voice is weaker than before but just as sweet.
"Thank you, Jungkook," Yoongi says, choking down a sob, "for giving me your stories.""

The left side of the green graphic features a writing snippet that reads: “"It's you, isn't it," Jeongguk asks softly.
"The forest spirit."
Yoongi tilts his head, carefully letting out some of his energy to meet Jeong-guk's. It would be hard to deny, considering that he just healed their hyung, but if their auras were nothing like Seokjin's he wouldn't hesitate to try.
Yoongi's shocked once again as Jeongguk's aura ripples over him, and this time he's pulled under, the world going white.”

The left side of the green graphic features a writing snippet that reads: “His voice was steady and powerful and I think that's the moment when my heart wasn't mine anymore, even if I didn't realise it yet.
I just started dancing next to him, the way one did at those clubs. We made eye contact and I wasn't being subtle or anything; I think he was a little intimated, but it was cute. Everything he did was cute.
"I'm Yoongi," I yelled over the music. "What's your name?"
He smiled and it showed his front teeth that were a little larger than the rest, like a bunny. "'m Jun-gkook."”

"Come on, hyung, it's not that bad."
"My hands are freezing!"
Jungkook barely had time to respond before Yoongi's fingers slipped into his, warmer than he should be, given how cold he claimed to feel.
The streetlight cast Yoongi in a warm golden glow, softening the sharp line of his jaw. His breath fogged the air, cheeks and nose tinged pink. Was Yoongi blushing? Jungkook could feel his heart climbing into his throat.
Fuck. He shouldn't be feeling this. He shouldn't crave the closeness, especially not when he's supposed to be helping Yoongi fall for someone else."

"About Me:

The first thing that comes to mind is their heart. Though they re so uniquely themselves, Yoonkook shares a tender way of seeing, understanding, and loving the people around them."

"Jeongguk starts speaking before he even processes it. "You need to stop rejecting it. Not the flame - the cold, the ice. Stop rejecting it. You can't control something you keep running away from." With a flick of his fingers, the flame appears again in front of Yoongi. "When I left, I learnt control. I learnt my boundaries." It disappears again. "I made mistakes.
I tried again... I always tried embracing it again. It's when you start embracing it... that you're the most vulnerable.
Because people can use it against you.""

"About Me:
Im an aroace and genderfluid writer/poet who just started exploring the spoken word sphere and loves post/modernism, fiction and angst. I'm honoured to have been invited to participate <3

I often think about their mutual, gentle quietness and kindness, as something as soft and treasurable as the golden colour of a sunset."

Less blue

There’s a quiet ache in just being.

The kind of pain that everyone feels and has spoken about a lot, but no one has ever tried fixing. It’s the kind of ache that never really leaves one’s heart, the one that stays and stains.

Yoongi thinks he’s grown past the ache.

Snippet from my piece for Golden Have Vol. 2 Stories of Healing zine.

Hi everyone! I'm so happy to share a snippet of my first yoonjin fic featured in @goldenhavenzine.bsky.social V2 under 'healing of the soul' category 💗

You'll be able to enjoy more works, all contributing to Palestine, Sudan, and Congo. So, grab your copy:

🔗 goldenhavenzines.bigcartel.com

a graphic with a teal, gold, pink, and dark red gradient as the background, with an opaque white rectangle holding the below text:

"I'll Sleep While You Drive"

Yoongi humors her, reaching for another headband in blue and slipping it on.

Eunjoo bursts into giggles. “You look so silly!” she squeals. But before Yoongi can take it off, she stops him, “No, no, we all have to match!”

“Alright, alright,” Yoongi says as he adjusts it again.

“Do I look cute, Samchon?” Eunjoo asks, tilting her head.

Seokjin smiles and nods without hesitation. “You look adorable.”

“And appa?” she asks next, pointing at Yoongi with an expectant look.

Seokjin glances at Yoongi, and for a second, something soft flickers across his face. Without missing a beat, he says, “Your appa has always been cute.”

There's also credits on the top right corner of the rectangle to "joondimples | @namkookspace"
