Fall Underneath

Description

The weight of the world rests on Kyungsoo’s shoulders.  Brother-in-law to the man who once tried to conquer the land, he now must do whatever he can to prove his loyalty to the new king.  Including, of course, throwing himself at the king consort's brother, a wild young prince with a savage heart and burning, passionate eyes.

What starts off as a political play to secure the wellbeing of his people becomes something much more when Kyungsoo realizes that there is no need to pretend.  Kai wants him already - scars and all.  Now perhaps if he can only convince himself that this isn't real.

Foreword


 

Beta: xiaomitaozi

Genre: Fantasy, Romance

Tags: Tribal!AU, Medieval Kingdom!AU, Kyungsoo is at first a bit not good, mentally unstable Kyungsoo, strong-silent-tough-guy Kai, Sehun is kind of a third wheel, Sehun is still a loveable little , sehunxoc, side!taoris, side!xiuhan, side!baekyeol

Note:  Direct sequel to taoris fic I See Fire.  Probably needs to be read in direct sequence, but will try to write as a standalone that makes sense.

(Err, for those of you confused, this is a kaisoo fic with taoris as a side pairing, but I'm not giving up on taoris either so don't you worry.)

Playlist:  Based off of this playlist (to be embedded) and this song (for which the entire AU verse was created).

Thanks to blacksodaholes for creating the graphic as always, it's amazing, you're fantastic, ahHHHhHhHh I love you!!!!!!

Also partially written for theminion because she keeps making me want to write kaisoo.  Also her stories are amazing.  Like how can I even compare oh jfc ilu.

 

Inspired loosely by a large number of fantasy series, including but not limited to: Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit, Game of Thrones/Song of Ice and Fire - since I've watched or read or heard these series, there's undoubtedly stuff in here that people will probably find familiar, although any similarities are not intentionally written to be that way - I just acknowledge the lack of complete originality in a fic like this :).

Chapter 17: Hi
The last 3 chapters had a lot going on..... but the penultimate chapter had so many unexpected surprising twists!! The true identity of virgil actually being minos, n kyungsoo shouldering the blame on himself willingly (contrary to kyungri framing her, as I thought at first)....n then I was totally dreading that kyungsoo was gone n despite knowing the truth they couldn't save him in time........so ya, the last 3 chaps definitely had me crying 😂
Also, it's really well written, specially when I could actually feel the characters emotions. N u couldn't completely hate any character when they all had their own circumstances cause there's no good or bad person, we're all a mix of both depending on the experiences that shape us. So it gave a realistic feel.
Moreover, the part where ksoo ain't sure if he actually loves kai or he just thinks he does cause of his responsibilities n obligations....that part had a real different gravity to it.
For some reason, I specifically liked the addition of udo's character tho 🥰
So ya, thanks for writing!!
