The Morning Will Come Again… No Darkness… No Season… Is Eternal

by Jay_Maria

Summary:

Nestled there on the beach. Sandwiched between the waves and the sand, something big lay unmoving. Almost indistinguishable from the rocks and kelp surrounding it.

Jungkook stopped in his tracks. His breath sent up wisps of gray as he curiously moved towards the object. As he got closer he could make out the distinct shape of a tail, as well as the blood that covered it and the sand underneath. Shock and nausea flooded his body as images of bloody whales and dolphins he had seen on nature shows on tv invaded his brain. He almost wanted to turn around and jog away but morbid curiosity caused him to step closer until he froze in his tracks, staring down in shock at the boy below him. The boy who’s face looked human but who’s waist ended in a large bloody silver tail.

~~~

While on his morning run Jungkook discovers a creature he didn’t know existed. Unable to abandon the creature he soon finds himself the roommate of an injured siren.
But the situation is even more complicated then he expected and he’s completely out of his depth. Cue two worried brothers, family beyond blood, adventure, healing, and a relationship born of progress, growth and communication. Strap in.

Notes:

Hi everyone! This is my first BTS fic and my first lengthy fic in a really long time:) I’ve worked really hard on this and I am so happy to finally be putting it out for everyone and I hope you like it! Update schedule will probably be every other week cause I’m in grad school and work. I am around 50,000 words in already and I’m projecting I’ll probably add 50,000-100,000 more. Honestly depends on how much I ramble but I have the whole basis of the story written out already. I’m very committed to keeping a consistent update schedule and very motivated right now!

Anyways now onto the serious shit. This fic is not going to be light. I’m going to be exploring some really hard topics and it might be pretty graphic at times. The general tags will stay the same but more might be added as they come up so keep an eye on that. If you have additional questions about anything please feel free to ask and I will respond ASAP. Also please let me know if I forgot to tag something so I can add it.

This story deals with issues such as rape, rape aftermath and healing, homophobia, minor character death(happened before the story starts), grief, depression, and violence throughout the entire story. Additional tags will be added and referenced in the notes at the beginning of each chapter. As well as summaries of events when relevant so you can skip parts.

If you think these things might be triggering for you than please don’t read. However please do not slam me in the comments or shame me for writing something like this. This is a work of fiction and in no way relevant to BTS in real life. Purely inspired by them but obviously I’m in no way relating it to their real lives. I enjoy reading and writing stuff like this cause it makes me feel heard and work through my own issues. Cheaper than therapy lol.

Anywaaays, I hope you enjoy:)

Chapter 1: The beginning of everything

It was a random Tuesday in October. No different than the Tuesday before and seemingly no different than the one that would come the week after.

Jungkook was on his daily morning jog. The sun had not risen yet and the bitter chill bit at his exposed calves as he ran. He always found this time of day to be the best time to run. He enjoyed the quiet in the streets as the rest of the world slept on. He hardly ever saw anyone on his morning runs. It was a time where he could just breathe. Ignore all the mindless day to day shit like his coursework, his internship, the ever present drama with his best friends, and of course his ex. He can just pop his headphones into his ears and all the thoughts will melt away for these 30 minutes before he has to go back and enter real life again.

He can feel the burning in his calves as he moves into the final stretch in his jog. Another mile or so on this stretch of beach and he’d be back at the dorms at his university and into a hot shower.

He’s so focused on his upcoming destination that he almost misses it.
Later, in his darkest thoughts, there will be moments where he wishes he had.
