The whole treasure series by @tiny_tokki was my first pirateez au and it literally changed the trajectory of my life. I was NOT the same after reading it.
@blossomtoru A bit more lurker than active these days haha but I intend to return when things wind down and I thank you for your comments 🤩 truly the lifeblood of writing that monster of a fic
If anyone is still around, tune in when I drop the next chapter, reread my older volumes if you forgot the plot, and keeping hitting me up anytime to stay in touch and get me motivated. No resolutions this time but let’s get back to it in 2026 <3
Hey me hearties!
Treasure was on track to finish last year and then the strange mix of wedding planning, entering my final year of my master’s degree, and beginning an original novel threw off those plans. (1/3)
Goal for 2025: Finish Treasure Series aaaaa😭
I'll have to average a chapter per month for the main series, and it's gonna be a busy year but I'll give it my best try!
My apologies for the delay, but I do intend to finish my works (because I really do hate leaving unfinished book, especially when I have the whole end plotted already, just in my head). (2/3)
[TOKTOQ] 251107 Hongjoong’s letter to ATINY
To. ATINY
Hello, this is Hongjoong from ATEEZ.
Time has flown by so quickly, and it’s already that moment when I wrap up my birthday this year.
As I’ve always said, thanks to all of you, November 7th has become more than just the day I was born - it’s become a day that’s truly precious and meaningful. Once again this year, because of you, I spent such a special day - one filled with deep congratulations and happiness that I’ll never forget no matter how much time passes.
Honestly, there’s not a single day among the 365 when I don’t feel your love. And thanks to all of you who always express even greater happiness and warmth, even after more than 7 years of activity, I’m still learning new ways to express love in different forms.
Ever since debut, I’ve thought a lot about what it means to give and receive love - and I still do. The size of love isn’t something you can see with your eyes, or measure in words or numbers. So I often wonder how I can show you the love I feel, how I can express it in a way that truly reflects the emotions I have, or deliver it to you with an even bigger heart. In some ways, I feel like I understand it a little better now, but I also know I still have a lot to learn and improve on.
I don’t think being someone who can keep sharing long-lasting happiness and good memories with you comes from grand resolutions or noticeable actions. It’s about cherishing each day, just as you treasure mine - living each day without shame, valuing the small things, and not forgetting the simple things that we might otherwise take for granted, even as we dream of greater things.
There will be moments when things don’t go well, but I’ll keep trying. I’m so grateful that I have time to work hard for myself and for us, that I can have thoughts like these, and that I have all of you watching over me. Today was another truly happy and thankful day.
Lastly, the fashion show I prepared today was a video I wanted to show to you, our TINY, first - it’s a dream that’s grown within me through schedules that began thanks to you. Thank you for always giving me new dreams and endlessly gifting me the strength to make them come true.
Now, I’ll always be like a small pillow beside your head - so that you can dream only happy and beautiful dreams. Let’s stay together for a long, long time, just like we are now.
Once again, thank you for giving me such a joyful day. Thank you, and I love you - today and always.
From. ATEEZ Hongjoong
Fic research rabbit trails…
The real challenge, as ever, is not how to incorporate the research but how to make it not look very obviously researched lol

Keep an eye out for me after the holidays 👀 I will be back in my writer era (mostly by force, I’m working on a book) and that means Treasure volume 5 will be written and hopefully posted
