The Songbird and the Sea

Wow, you don't have to tell me twice that you're good at writing cliffhangers. Ahh, but in all seriousness, this is an amazing first chapter and I'm already attached to Jihyun even though I know I shouldn't be. I'm so excited for this fanfic!!!

THANK YOU!!! I never knew I needed you to write a multi-chapter fic, but I DOOOOO. IT'S ONLY THE FIRST CHAPTER AND I'M ALREADY IN LOVE WITH THISSSS. i LOVE THE IDEA OF BLESSED RUNES AND JIMIN BEING A COMPLETE FORRESTCHILD >////<One question tho, how often will you update? Anyway, that is all for now (I'll probably leave a comment more often in he future)

please, it's only the first chapter and im suffering. HOW DID YOU WRITE THIS GOOD i could never relate???!!!!! I really, really can't wait for the continuance of this IT'S REALLY GOOD WTH ill be waiting and rooting for you Misster Maia <3333

"YO-HO-HO HERE WE GO BITCHES" is the most glorious tag, like damn.

Heckle , that was so good. I got to the end and got so huffley when there was no chapter two (i'm just an impatient person when it comes to reading) i'm looking forward to chapter two and while kinda being hesitant cause no good will happen BUT I also have a feeling it's going to be great despite the death that probably will come with it.

Oh wooooooow this is so good I'll be anticipating the upcoming chapters! (๑>◡<๑)

i'm deleting my account. i'm literally ashamed of everything i've ever tried to do ever when i read your fics lolthis is perfect. i'm hooked and hyped.

BANGS FIST ON TABLETHE PROSE IN THIS IS SO BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN AND I LOVE THE WORLD BUILDING SO FAR AAAAAAAalso im so thankful for the content you provide maja, for real, i appreciate your writing so damn much i cant wait to see how the story progresses ✨

Omg new fic from my fav Yoonmin author!!! Off to read!

I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS STORY! I love pirate fics and when I got the notification that you posted a new story (that's with pirates!!!!) I might have yelled. (honestly if you wrote a fic about bangtan watching paint dry i'd still read it and love it but that's not the point)

ლ(́◉◞౪◟◉‵ლ) i'm losing my chill. Getting excited!! (Will I remember /that/ fanfic every time you use the word reaper now, I wonder)

i'm sooooo excited! for an intro, this is incredible and i'm convinced that i'll like anything you write. also the writing style and all, it really did work well because if there wasn't jimin's name to remember that i'm reading a fanfic i'd straight ahead said "i'm reading a fantasy novel." can't wait to see next chapter!

Okay so I came to a conclusion ...you are an actual angel like HOW DOES ONE PERSON WRITE SO BEAUTIFULLY EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS STORY IS SO SO PRETTY AND ITS JUST THE FIRST CHAPTER .HOW ARE U REAL..OKAY I LOVE THIS STORY SOOO MUCH ALREADY ..YOU ARE AN AMAZING WRITER .OKAY BYE

*CLAP* Can't wait for the next chapter ♡.♡ I'm really curious how pirate-yoongi is!! Also.. I hope Jihyun won't be hurt in the attack... can't she go on the ship with Jimin? I bet she'll fit greatly with a bunch of pirates.

omg i love the idea and the story you are such a talented author!!!

I finished the first chapterWow..it is amazing already. A bit different from your other fic that focus on POV and inner monologue, full of fluff and cuteness...This one like you said more to storytelling, a book. I always love this kind of writing from author, who lay out the universe for readers, interwoven with main character story and conflict, making me feel like I am in their world, being with Jimin all the way, feeling the same thing as he feels, Some of my fav author who use this style, sugamins and prettyboykiller, both author build their own universe and characters in their fic, you can imagine everything they wrote clearly and when the fic end, you feels like some part of your soul taken away..but you love it anyway.Reading the first chapter, giving me the feels...ahhh..This is is it!!! The fic that gonna take my heart and make me stay until the end. I found you a bit late, I dunno that I long fall in love with your fic, Hey Piano Man. I binge read, Boy from the Music Box, Barbershop Suga series(my faves)..everything..I am guessing Blessed Rune of Fire is Yoongi? Omg Rune of Canary, fits Jimin so well, he is cute, his voice is pretty and heavenly, I duuno why but when people call Jiminie, canary/Birdie..my heart flutter..haha A bit weird, when Jimin calling Minjoon, I suddenly remember my other fav fic, where Jimin called his adorable son Little Minjun ..it feels funny now another Minjoon is bad character..haha.just a triviaGranny Jihyun make me remember Grandma Seongi..badass kickass Old Lady..hahaAnticipating next meeting of Jimin and Yoongi..Can't wait to see Sassy Jiminie meet Grumpy Pirate Yoongi..it must be a blast.. This have Yoongi POV too right..can't wait for smitten yoongi too..I AM EXCITED,..I LOVE U, I LOVE EVERYTHING, I LOVE YOONMIN, YOONMIN IS LIFE!!

Omg! I just subcribed to you today (I don't normaly subscribe to writers, I only subscribe to their works. But I really loved your fics and especially your imagination and writing style.).And I was so not expecting you to already post another story (I guess this is a sign that I made the right choice).And it is pirates (aaaaahhh pirates!!! I love pirates!!!) mixed with fantasy and special powers (runes/stones whatever) !!! It is like you mixed my favorite things ever (well I really like Cat Yoongi... But a Cat and a Fox aren't really so different... Sometimes when I see a fox it takes me sometime to realise it is a fox and not a big cat (or a small dog)). So yeah... You just put everything I like to read about together and combined it with my love and life BTS and of course with your amazing writing.This fic hasn't ever really started yet (we were only introduced to like 1/7th of the characters), but I already know it is going to be one of my favorite fics ever <3

/screams/ ANOTHER ONEI DIDNT EVEN READ THIS YET BUT IMMA KUDOS THIS DANG I THINK U JUST BECAME MY FAV WRITER HERE （ﾉ｡≧◇≦）ﾉ

IM READY TO DO THIS! Seriously, only the first chapter and im already intrigued. This is going to be so good!

how is this already so good?? and its a multichaptered fic IM HYPED

Hi!! I just wanted to say that I love your writing. I've only recently discovered you, but the stories I've read (The Boy in the Music Box, Opened My Door For Death, and Hot Summer (Can't wait for more of that!)) are amazing. I truly love your writing style and am absolutely excited for this new story. I'm also super honored to be able to follow a story from the very beginning. I can tell I'll enjoy the experience. Also, this is tagged with Light angst, so I'm not expecting to find myself sobbing at 1:00 A.M. on a school night, but I also noticed the minor character death and I'm going to go ahead and tell you: if you kill Jihyun, you better give that old woman a great death. We need her to either go down swinging or pass in her sleep because peaceful deaths are always nice for a good character, but we no she ain't no wimp ;). She's awesome and this is only the first chapter!Side note: I'm joking please god no don't listen to me im rambling god if you don't kill her im totes kool with that no complaints from me amiga write how you want i'll love it either way.Ok, I'm done now. Sorry!!(Jesus I am excited. Can you tell?) :)

WOW!!! OMG!!! That's so good! I really enjoyed reading this style as well as the story. I can smell the interesting events coming and the CLIFFHANGERS!!! YES!I was actually reading recently some of the PiratesAUs, and there wasn't any good with Yoonmin... AND HERE WE GO!! And Wow! the idea with Runes is so good! IM SUFFERING FOR THE SECOND CHAPTER! <333

As a person from Germany I strongly disagree with this abbreveation...>.<aside from that: OMG I AM SO GLAD THAT CHAPTER 2 IS ALREADY UP I WAS REALLY ANTICIPATING THE ATTACKIs it bad that I wanted those pirates to show up so bad that I thought (more like screamed *cough*) "Come on, Attack" several times? No? Good.Shit I'm really looking forward to Pirate!Yoongi and the idea with the Canary Rune is absolutely beautiful omg and it fits so well!I'm a real sucker for Jimin's pink hair (I wanted to dye my hair pink for a long time now and I just gotta get my Dad to say yes now~) "as well as leave more room for cliffhangers" WELL FUCK I'M SCREWED NOW Q_Q (I love to write, but hate to read cliffhangers...xDD)Also everytime you write boiii I read it in a friend's voice because he always says this xDD As you should know by now I love you and your stories and should I ever have some constructive criticism, I won't hesistate to tell you!~

your writing will be the death of me (if you remember me i'm the one who was screaming at you about my huge paper and i pASSED IT THANK HEAVEN) bUT IM ADDICTED TO YOUR WRITING AND OH GOOD LORD

Such a good story and your writing is beautiful. I imagined jimin to have the katniss everdeen vibe i don't know why lol. Maybe it's the arrow quiver!?

i've never commented on an a03 fic in my life but i had to for this bcus i'm literally hyped, absolutely in love with what you have going on here so far, your writing's fantastic omg

this is fucking amazing, loving this idea and your writhing? wow im speechless, also youR TAGS IM CRYING THEYRE SO FUNNY LMAOO

oh my god never stop writing this fic i literally almost had a heart attack when i saw you updated. please write this until the day i die im in love!!!

Poor Jimin. It's reasonable to try to escape the second you realize you can. In Jimins case it was a lot worse to escape. You are a really good writer and with your drawings I can imagine the characters.

I love love LOVE this story!! I held back reading it so I could enjoy it back to back and oh my word

I've been meaning to read this and finally got this first chapter through with, and I'm pretty excited to read through the rest. Read your end notes and loving how you had Two Steps from Hell inspiration. I am really living your writing style so kudos! Now onwards to continue reading!!!!!

This is so original p, I'm completely in love with this concept. Your writing is phenomenal as well. Props to you!

that's a cute and interesting way for him to gain powers and a nice explanation for having pink hair, i like it!

I hope Jihyun doesn't die ;_; i like her a lot

STARTING THIS AT 3AM AND I!! AM!! EXCITED!!

Ohmygod this is amazing!!! Its always so hard for me to find a fic that is so well written with such an awesome and well thought out storyline. This is only the first chapter but im already soooo engaged. Im sooo happy that jimin has pink hair in this because that is definitly my fav colour on him and the way you tie it with a magical power!!!!AHHDJD SPEECHLESS!!! Keep it up

I love pirate anything! I'm so hyped.

Definitely loved it.....The way u describe jimin it's so cute..But poor chimchim he only has jihyun..N I hope jihyun is saved in that attacks...Please I hope n I m excited how will jimin n the pirates will interact hehehe...

Ive never read a pirate themed fic before ??? I dont know why but now im fully invested ^^ this chapter was so beautiful like a story book... like how you described the island, the birds, Jimin's tiny house + his little magical transformation (i can just imagine a tiny 7 yo jimin w pink hair abd its the cutest thing omg)but then it was so sad watching Jimin talk to his mom while trimming the eagle but hell thats not gonna stop me can u tell im buckled in and ready lmaoI wonder who One-eye is... or the Reaper... are they members of Bangtan or are we gonna have some guest appearances ?

OKAY IVE BEEN WANTED TO READ THIS SINCE YOU POSTED THE FIRST CHAPTER BECAUSE YOU ARE MY FAV AUTHOR SO I REALLY REALLY REALLY WANT TO READ THIS BUT I AM NO FAN OF CHAPTERED STORIES AND IM WILLING TO WAIT TILL THE STORY ENDED BUT HERE I AM, AT THE CHAPTER ONE, UNABLE TO CONTROL MY DESIRE TO READ THIS. I hope when i reach the latest chapter, my ass will not be on fire waiting your next updates oh lord help

Okay so ive waited for 2 days now and GIRL YOU IS LATE

Wow. This first chapter is seriously nothing but QUALITY! I love that you wrote in the notes that you were going for the style of an actual book and you totally delivered. This is straight out of a hardback I just put back on my bookshelf. This world has so many cool possibilities! I'm so excited for more!
