Summary
Tae-eul has heard about this kind of thing a few times from people she knows but she kinda thought there'd be more head trauma and pain involved. Being upright is unexpected but not unwelcome. It's the jumps that are super disorienting and nothing around her makes sense.
-OR-
Gon is compelled by circumstances to implement that emergency reintroduction plan and Yeong is forced to help him.
(This is a stand-alone work and not part of my other series.)

Summary
Long ago and not long ago at all, a god paused in his steps and felt all the world, and the universe around it, tremble in anticipation.
We've always wondered what the yo-yo kid was doing when we couldn't see him. He has a tale to tell and, like all the best ones, it is drenched in magic and murder and people getting their just desserts.Art inspiration:

Summary
Their socks and the skirts of their chimas were splattered with mud, water dripped into their faces and from the ends of their braids, and still Ok-nam heard and felt the thunderous booms, louder than any storm could ever hope to be, surround them like a smothering wave, like drowning in an ocean of sound. Her heart stuttered and raced with each shock wave. She could see bursts of light, angry reds and oranges reflecting off the walls where they clawed their way through the window above the meager shelter.
Lady Noh gave only the briefest of personal histories but it was enough to know exactly where she'd come from and what she'd been through.

I might not go into detail for all of them but I ticked all the warning boxes because war is ugly and we already know this doesn't go well.Series
