HEY TTS FAM!
Sparkling Jinnie here!
I miss you all already. I've recovered a bit from author feels. It feels great to update in here again. And it'll feel even better to update you on the progress of the Bonus Features poll and give you some fresh news!
First things first, I decided to take a week off from anything TTS related, hence my absence. I just needed to clear my head. Adjust to life without a weekly update. It was harder than I thought. I'd wake up with the urge to write a story that I finished, and then I'd be like what do I do now?
I found an answer. We'll get to that later.
I ought to confess something. I had every intention of writing Tear the Sky and then leaving Wattpad. I only wanted to write one story and see where it went. But along the way, I got attached. To my characters, to my story, to people. Members of the Wattpad community that reached out to me and... damnit, you guys make me want to stay.
You, reader, make me want to stay and write again.
Thank you for that.
Now, enough with the sappy stuff and I'll get onto what you all came for, lol.
ANNOUNCEMENT 1
Let's discuss these bonus features.
The answers you gave were all nice and spread out, but surprisingly DELETED SCENES was the biggest hit! Based on this, here's what I'm thinking.
I'll make a TTS one-shot book that contains most if not all of the unanswered questions. However, before I commit (because this is a grand commitment), I need need need to know if this is still want you want! If so, please comment so I can mark your vote!
Also, I did not make a bunch of character aesthetics for nothing, so I will be uploading those too.
ISSA DOUBLE BONUS FEATURE YA'LL!!!
WOOP WOOP!
I can't wait to revisit this with you if you'll join me. â¤ï¸
ANNOUNCEMENT 2
I'll be publishing a reflection of Tear the Sky as well. Meaning, I'll give you my final thoughts for closure on the story. It's basically all the things I've wanted to say but haven't yet, and I'll be able to say it with a clear mind. Hopefully, you join me for that as well as I turn the page of this chapter in my writing life. â¤ï¸
But don't worry guys, I'm not dead or anything. This brings me to...
ANNOUNCEMENT 3
NEW MF'IN STORY ALERT
_______
â¶ï¸ BLURB âï¸
_______
Aria West waits for her life to begin. Her captor searches for an end to the madness in his.
Swept from her campus dorms in the middle of the night, Aria comes face to face with danger in the form of the man of her dreams. Except, he is not the man she kindly met in her school's art room. He is the man that fearlessly points a gun to her head and makes his own plans with her life.
Why isn't she as afraid as she should be?
Motivated to complete a final job, Kim Taehyung believes the solution to his problem is easy; take her, turn her in, and taste freedom. It's not what he was ordered to do, but it's what he must for the sake of his sanity. He waits for the right moment to strike, emotions warring through him in a battle of right versus wrong.
Why is it so difficult to let her go?
Dragged into a plot that neither may survive, both are forced to play a game that requires blind trust, unearths lost secrets, and tears them apart.
And neither of them are who they say they are.
*KTHXREADER
**KIDNAP AU
*I realize this and 7PM makes me look like a solo Taehyung stan, but I swear I'm neutral (OT7). I just wanted to switch it up from Kook being the central kidnapperâ¢ï¸ of BTS, lmao.

â¶ï¸ EXCERPT âï¸

"Shoot me," he said, stalking towards her so that his chest pressed against the gun's muzzle. "I'm right here."
Her hands trembled, but her finger hovered over the trigger. She could do it. She should. He stole her. He locked her up. He never answered her questions. He was a monster.
She held her breath as he lowered his face to hers even with the weapon between them. He was her fear, but also her source of raw, untamed adrenaline as he whispered, "I dare you."
:::
Okay, I'm back.
So this AU was a really random idea, but somehow it worked. With just a few tweaks and twists, it's become something new. Fresh, hopefully.
A morally ambiguous assassin, a girl fed up with being useless, an undeniable attraction, but a perilous, uncertain and lethal future? That's what we've got in a nutshell.
I plan to release Blackbird on 1/14 (January 14th).
If you have time, please consider checking it out!
(I am living for the dark aesthetic)
Alrighty, that's about it for today.
I'll be publishing the reflection soon, (based on feedback) I'll send an update for the TTS One Shots/Aesthetics, and be on the lookout for Blackbird!
Please take care of yourself and have the best day/night.
With love,
M
