(Except that it is.) ///// Sequel to jiu jitsu AU Passing The Guard!
Foreword
Passing The Guard sequel!
To all my old readers from PTG—hello and welcome back! Hope the long wait for this sequel wasn't too hard. ♥♥♥
To any new readers—hello and welcome to my AU! You don't absolutely have to read PTG in order to read this, but it really helps.
To anyone here for the first time since I'm tagging NCT: it's really only Taeyong showing up in this fic (but he is a main character). Some of the others might appear as minor characters here and there. I would recommend reading chapter 30 of Passing The Guard if you want a bit of Taeyong backstory (there's a very important scene in that chapter that sets the mood for his story arc in this fic). I'm not gonna lie—he's got a very tough time ahead of him in this story. But I never let anyone suffer without some kind of positive resolution at some point. :)
On that note to everyone reading: this story is going to have a lot of touchy subjects, moreso than PTG. One of the toughest subjects I'm going to write about in this fic is homophobia and conversion therapy (trying to force people with same attraction to renounce that attraction and "become" straight). I want to mention that up front as I'm sure it will be tough for some people to read about that, since I gave all my gays loving and supportive families in PTG. But in TSN it's time to look at the dark side of coming out. However—no one is going to suffer without happy resolution eventually. If you're familiar with my writing then you'll know I like to write healing fics, and this is definitely going to be the same. You just have to suffer first. ;)
There are other touchy subjects that will come up as well, but I won't talk about those until it's time for them to show up. If you are concerned about anything, feel free to message me and I can let you know what scenes to skip if you can't handle reading anything traumatic. ♥ But it's not all doom and gloom! There's still going to be a lot of fun times, humour, and witty banter. There's just more angst.
Having said all of that—one last note! Since I ran out of BJJ moves to name my chapters after a long time ago, I've decided to title my chapters after songs this time around. That's why you'll see song lyrics posted at the start of each chapter. They touch on a scene from each chapter. Thought it would be a fun way to share some of my favourite music with you guys. ♥
Sorry guys one last note!! I know I said I wouldn't be posting this on a weekly basis the way I did with PTG, but I actually have the first 13 chapters fully written, so you can expect it posted weekly for the first 13 chapters at least. After that we'll see, but I'm not stressing myself out this year trying to meet a weekly deadline. I also haven't completed a full chapter run-down yet, but I know this story is going to be over 50 chapters again. So we're looking at another year-long project. Enjoy. ;)
