Author Summary: Humans could hear their guardians, feel their voice inside of them like warm chocolate on a cold winter day. Usually it was enough for angels to whisper to their human, make them consider a different option or another approach. And then there were people who were effectively ignoring their inner voices and apparently Namjoon was just really adamant on not taking care of himself and getting himself into danger constantly.

My Thoughts:
Where to begin... First off I love the uniqueness of this fic. I mean guardians? Angels and we can hear them until, you know, your Namjoon who just doesn't listen to them. This felt almost too real. The authors got the characters right from what I could tell. I loved the pairings with Namjoon and Jimin and the growth of the characters. I absolutely love it when one of them pairs off and while the pairing itself isn't different the way it is presented is. I like that Jimin is the protector of Namjoon and is just trying to keep this clutz safe to only expose himself right in the middle. Then cares too much to leave him brokenhearted so alas they start hanging out together. And there is where it all went wrong and yet so right. The match was great and watching Jimin trying to figure out the balance between angel and lover was wonderful to watch. Can I personally just say that I need more angel Jimin and whatnot. I do however, think Namjoon as an angel would be pretty cute.

Also unrelated to the previous statement but still related I absolutely love how fast Yoongi falls in love with Jungkook and how that relationship on the side played out.

Seriously if you have never read these author's I highly recommend it.

FanFic Review ~ How to Fall in love by CassiaVioletBlue & Softjeon

How to fall in love by CassiaVioletBlue, softjeon 

Main Pairing: Yoongi and Jungkook

Chapters: 6/6

Author’s Summary: He needed his music and it was a bittersweet passion because it could set him aflame with joy or tear him down alike. But needing a person - you’d always end up with your heart in pieces, he had learnt that. Still, here in the darkness of the room and with no one else watching he allowed himself a moment of pure and utter weakness, reaching out for Jungkook and pulling the younger gently against his own body.

My thoughts: 
Wow this one surprised me. It hit on some major issues that I didn't think fanfiction would go to. Such as abusive relationships, self-esteem, rape or close to, toxic relationships and eventually dealing with the fall out from that. Jungkook moves in to Yoongi's apartment and right away we see the self esteem and self worth come into play with both of them thinking the other deserved more then what they could offer. Yet NEVER COMMUNICATING THIS... unrelated shouting sorry. However, as the story progresses we see how much self-worth and esteem come into play when Jungkook gets himself in a relationship with "the perfect boyfriend" according to everyone except the one that is in the abusive and toxic relationship which made it even harder for him to get out of. Yoongi on the other hand kept telling himself it wasn't his place to interfere with what Jungkook wanted. So back and forth we go until it builds to a head and Jimin has to step up and interfere in such a great loving way that I finally had my satisfying HEA. So worth it to read this story for that HEA and to see how the author handled abuse, toxic relationships, friendships, and communication. I have to say this minus all the negative topics, but honestly because of them, has become one of my favorite fanfictions to read and I so, so, so much enjoyed reading this one.


***I currently subscribe to CassiaVioletBlue on AO3 due to this fic and I have to say BEST INVESTMENT so far. All of their stories have been interesting and blown me out of the water. They have a new one that just came up that I am waiting with baited breath each week for Evergreen seriously go check it out. It is another Jungkook and Yoongi pairing with hybrid themes that I adore.***
