I dreamt of a stranger last night; a stranger, though I felt I knew him.
‘I’ve been here,’ he said, his smile as sweet as the summer perfume in the air. ‘I’ve been here, my love. You just couldn’t see me.’
When Jeon Jeongguk’s sister dies, the grief in his heart consumes him. The blackness of the night provides neither comfort nor love; no words could bring her back, no story could lead him home, no touch could provide him absolution.
The day he meets Min Yoongi, however, he remembers what he had once known for certain.
The most magical of fairy tales always begin in the dark.

Thank you so much for listening!
NB If this pod was familiar to you, it might be because you’ve listened to it before - I deleted my old, separate Ao3 account and I’m re-uploading all my works here (don’t ask - I had a moment of PANIC about my voice being so readily available online and then immediately regretted it).
