WHOAAAAA oh my god this characterization. and world-building. and realism despite the magic. twig this is so, so sick. I've never thought about combining the sentinel/guide AU with idolverse before but here, with soonhoon of all combinations, it makes /perfect/ sense. Soonyoung's consciousness sprawls, predatory and unrelenting like invasive flora in an otherwise undisturbed forest. Yes!!! And, Soonyoung who despite his pride willingly sinks to his knees in front of Jihoon like it costs him nothing. Soonyoung who is well-practiced in the art of worship to the point of obsession, ... WOW YES. YES. A soonhoon line of all time. I would read 10 billion words of this. Thank you for sharing it!!
