Traditional [tolerant] attitudes towards witchcraft began to change in the 14th century, at the very end of the Middle Ages. ... Early 14th century central Europe was seized by a series of rumor-panics. Some malign conspiracy (Jews and lepers, Moslems, or Jews and witches) was attempting to destroy the Christian kingdoms through magick and poison. After the terrible devastation caused by the Black Death [bubonic plague] (1347-1349), these rumors increased in intensity and focused primarily on witches and "plague-spreaders." Witchcraft cases increased slowly but steadily from the 14th-15th century. The first mass trials appeared in the 15th century. At the beginning of the 16th century, as the first shock-waves from the Reformation hit, the number of witch trials actually dropped. Then, around 1550, the persecution skyrocketed. What we think of as "the Burning Times" -- the crazes, panics, and mass hysteria -- largely occurred in one century, from 1550-1650. In the 17th century, the Great Hunt passed nearly as suddenly as it had arisen. Trials dropped sharply after 1650 and disappeared completely by the end of the 18th century.

Wow yes I did just take my title/discription from a Taylor Swift song that has NOTHING to do with this plot OTL "Dear John" It just got stuck in my head I'm sorry!!!! 

This was part of a much larger AU I was NEVER EVER PUBLISHING and I basically wrote this from 8PM last night to 2 AM this morning- why can’t I do this with my other 3 WIPs ;_;

But just in case this SOPA bill passes, I wanted to leave my first (technically second- first is still in the works) foray into SHINee World online as a gift to all of my wonderful subscribers. I hope I can still see you guys around!

PS- Yes this universe is weird. Historical inaccuracy FTW!! Crossover between Korea and 16^th Century Catholic Europe!! :D
