After being forced to witness his lover die at the hands of a Human shaman, Earth Spirit Kyungsoo is then permanently soul-bound to a large boulder and left to watch his land be destroyed and conquered.  However, as required of a Bind, the shaman reveals that there is one way for Kyungsoo to gain back his freedom: he must fall in love with a Human.   

Centuries pass, and Humans lose the ability to see the Spirits at all.  Which is fine with Kyungsoo.  He has no intention of ever leaving his little swatch of land, much less falling in love with a stupid Human.  

But one hot summer day, 800 years since the Binding, a Human boy wanders into Kyungsoo’s territory, and his uncanny physical likeness to his dead lover has the Earth Spirit following his every step.

What Kyungsoo doesn’t expect is for the Human to be able to see him, to look right up into the trees and initiate a conversation.

He’d gotten complacent over the years, used to Humans staring straight through him.  

But this time he’s been spotted. 

And even worse?  Now that the Human has seen him once he Just. Won’t. Go. Away.

I'm so excited to finally start posting this story!  This WIP has been sitting in my files for about 2 years now, and I think it's finally ready to see the light of day.  Posting it here and on AO3.     

Featuring:

FlowerSpirit!Kai

EarthSpirit!Kyungsoo

Human!Jongin

...and a few other EXO members as well.

This is a slow build, pull-on-your-heartstrings kind of story, but if you've read Black Magic, you know I like to throw in a little action.  Let me know what you think!
