Baby, We're Meant To Be

Description

Fate hasn’t always been kind to them, but it knew what it was doing when it brought the six of them together.

Foreword

This is a Soulmate AU I'm still in the process of writing! I'm not sure when it'll be completed because it basically follows the story of BAP from debut to present day (or maybe around like Blue/Ego eras, I haven't decided yet) (UPDATE: I definitely will be doing up to present day, given that Yongguk just announced his departure from the group and I want to add that in). I have about half 3/4 of it done right now. I'm working hard on this and hopefully I'll have it up before I leave for college in 2 weeks 4 days!

I'm back with the BAP soulmates fic I said I was writing last time I posted! As I was writing it, it sort of morphed from a fic that focused on soulmates and became more of an examination of OT6 and what their dynamic is as a group. The soulmates aspect of the story is still somewhat important, but it can really be read as a regular canon fic too. (If you have any questions about the rules of the universe, I have a brief overview in the description of this series, but also feel free to ask anything in the comments and I'll answer! This also takes place in the same universe as two of my other fics, Always By My Side (GOT7 only) and It Feels Good Today (GOT7 and BAP), so you can check those out too if you want!)

Sorry about the heavier parts of this! I wanted to make it feel realistic, so I did quite a lot of cross-checking and research to make sure the timeline and details were as accurate as possible (and yeah I made myself cry a whole lot watching That performance of 1004 (Angel) way too many times but anyway). Most of the events that are mentioned in this did actually happen, but of course a lot also just came from my imagination.

The ending scene was added literally yesterday after the news that Yongguk was leaving because I knew I had to add that in somehow. And I just want to say thank you, Yongguk, for everything you've done for BAP. I love you and the members love you and we're so proud of and happy for you! <3

Title is a lyric from Take You There by BAP!

Thank you all for reading, and as always, comments/feedback are appreciated! :)

Chapter 1: Their story was never meant to be a happy one. You wrote it so wonderfully raw and beautiful. And it is the truth.

I’ve been thinking exactly the same since BAP came back and it wasn’t the same anymore... And to see it written, perfectly displayed as if you had read my thoughts... This broke my heart. I couldn’t stop crying while reading, because honestly, BAP deserved more.

These six men were a perfect fit, and the universe simply decided that they weren’t going to have a happy ride. And to see it all come down, as a fan, and knowing there’s nothing much we can do... I cried for them. I cried for how TS destroyed them, and for the six guys that must have been through hell and beyond.

But still, seeing them free, finally recovering from the years and years of abuse makes me so happy, proud and overwhelmed. Being their fan has been a tough ride, but I’m happy I am. I’m happy to have found them, and to see them heal.

BAP as such may not exist anymore, but the bond these six guys have is still there. TS couldn’t destroy it.

And you portrayed it all in this story that is simply so beautiful. Thank you.
