This was gorgeous; the language so smooth and the way you unfolded Joonmyun's motives along with Jongdae's story. It's so fascinating, to combine soulmates with vampires and to think of using that as a hunting tool? Truly ingenious. Thanks for writing this!!

Thank you for commenting and the praises! I'm glad that you found that my writing read well - as for the soulmates and vampires concept I'll have to pass over the praise to the prompter, but I'm glad you enjoyed it nevertheless! (´▽｀*)

IM EXCITED WHENEVER I USE THIS DP BC I USE IT SPARINGLY AND I THINK IT FITS THIS FIC?? I LOVE THIS SO MUCH, ESPECIALLY THE AMBIENCE OF THE STORY. I ADORE YOUR DESCRIPTIONS AND I'M REALLY SO IN LOVE WITH BOTH YOUR JOONMYUN AND YOUR JONGDAE, BUT ESPECIALLY YOUR JOONMYUN BECAUSE YES, BABY BOY GETS HIS REDEMPTION.

I REALLY REALLY LIKE HOW JD CATCHES HIMSELF BEING WHINY BUT WHEN HE SAYS THINGS IT HAS THIS UNDERLYING 'i'm allowed to feel this way, so don't judge me.' AND HOW JM FINALLY ACCEPTS THAT HE'S NOT GOING TO BE THE PERFECT PERSON HE WANTED TO BECOME AND THAT'S OKAY BECAUSE JONGDAE'S THE ONLY ONE THAT MATTERS TO HIM.

IF THIS IS NOT ENOUGH SCREAMING FOR YOU, PLEASE LAUGH AT MY GARBLED TWEETS

OH WOW I'M SORRY I DON'T HAVE A SPECIAL DP TO SHOW OFF TO YOU BUT HERE'S ONE OF CHEN WHEN HE WAS ESSENTIALLY COSPLAYING AS PCY. I HOPE YOU DON'T MIND ME ASSAULTING YOU WITH CAPS LOCK BUT I'VE STARTED AND IT'S TOO LATE TO TURN BACK NOW.

I READ ALL OF YOUR TWEETS AND I WAS HONESTLY SMILING LIKE A FOOL, IT WAS REALLY LOVELY TO SEE THAT YOU ENJOYED THE FIC SO MUCH. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENT AND FEEDBACK AND I'M REALLY GLAD THAT YOU ENJOYED THIS FIC. (/・ω・)/

OMG, this is my prompt and I was just happy when someone took it. But I didn't expect the fill to be this GORGEOUS!!! This is a very lovely fic and I enjoyed every moment of reading it. ＼（￣∇￣）／

I mean, how do I explain it?! The moment you hinted about what Joonmyun did to his past soulmates, I was like "oh my god, you did not!!!" But he did, and I was like "why??!!!" (because blood from one’s soul mate truly was the best xD). But it justified his reluctance to tell Jongdae that he was his soulmate. I feel for him. And Jongdae, my precious one, I just wanna cuddle him the whole time. Can I? I really want to! How he had accepted his miserable life but still held hurt over the thought that he had no soulmate (not knowing any better). It's just... *dies a little inside* Of course, he'll be angry at Joonmyun for lying but of course he'll forgive him because it's Joonmyun. Jongdae is so precious. ｡･ﾟﾟ･(>д<)･ﾟﾟ･｡

And this scene:
Calm and comfort washes over him as Jongdae’s hand meets his cheek, and he’s instinctually nuzzling into his

Thank you for submitting this prompt! I've always had a little soft spot for soul mate AUs, and supernatural AUs so this was a double A+ for me. I hope it wasn't too far away from what you had originally hoped as I accidentally started writing it as a soul mate mark and was too far along before I realised that the prompt called for the soul mate's names.

I'm not gonna lie - that's one of my favourite parts as well ( although this might be a little self-centred to say so OTL ). Switched power dynamics is just really quite fun to write.

I wish I didn't procrastinate as much as I did and wrote more on the AU (as the lovely prompt you provided had room for infinitely more scenes and parts) |дﾟ) Perhaps I will in the future. But in the end, I'm really really glad that you enjoyed this fic and very happy I got a chance to write it for you! (●´ω｀●)

wow there is sO MUCH to say about this but I don't know how, I love how Joonmyun sees himself as an antagonist, is an antagonist, using his soul mates as food, but then Jongdae comes along and he has a chance to be better and I love itttttt

it's terrible that Jongdae had to find out that they're soul mates the way he did but Joonmyun wasn't going to tell him even though Jongdae deserved to know... I love this. I LOVE FLAWS AND DARK THEMES OKAY bye thank you for this fic

[8_bit_heart]

flawed jm in fics is one of my favourite things. flawed characters in general because there's so much to expand on and write about when it comes to those characters! dark themes too!

( - i'm kind of just staring at your dp because i find blonde jm lovely and v nice to look at)

thank you for your lovely and wonderful comments and feedback! ヾ(≧▽≦)ﾉ
