Stardust and Rebellion

Prompt: ✦ Treasure Planet AU: “Starbound Hearts” ✦ Jungkook x Jimin | Enemies to reluctant allies to lovers | Action-adventure angst with sparkly space gay yearning ⸻ 🪐 The Setup: Jungkook is the brooding, half-feral, delinquent spaceport boy who absolutely has a mechanical glider and a chip on his shoulder the size of a black hole. He’s reckless, sharp-tongued, and always tinkering with broken bots—trying to escape the gravity of his past. Also: his tattoos glow faintly in certain moonlight. Nobody knows why. (Shh, we’ll get there.) Jimin is the unexpectedly soft but absurdly capable cabin boy / cadet from the Interstellar Academy. He’s polite, poised, terrifying with a rapier, and—tragically—has been assigned to keep tabs on Jungkook during a very high-stakes mission to locate a mythical planet made entirely of lost tech and riches (aka Treasure Planet). They hate each other. OBVIOUSLY. They get partnered up. NATURALLY. There’s only one sleeping pod. YOU KNOW WHERE THIS IS GOING. 🌌 The Vibes: • Enemies to reluctant teammates energy with sarcastic banter and “God, why are you like this” glances that turn into “Wait… are you in danger? No one’s allowed to hurt you but me.” • Touch-starved Jungkook who flinches when people get too close—except Jimin. That infuriating, smug, silver-tongued Jimin, who patch-repairs Jungkook’s wounds like it’s no big deal and gets all up in his emotional shields. • Morally conflicted Jimin who’s hiding that he was sent to spy on Jungkook—but ends up falling for the wild, untamable mess of him instead. • Intense zero-gravity almost-kisses in the maintenance shafts. Holding onto each other when gravity cuts out. Or during meteor showers. Or just because they’re scared to let go. ⸻ 🚀 Bonus Plot Goodies: • Jungkook finds an ancient AI orb that speaks in glitched lullabies and calls him “my child.” Jimin hears it whisper “you are not broken” to him one night. • Jimin dual-wields daggers. That’s it. That’s the tweet. • The Long John Silver character? It’s replaced by Namjoon, the captain with a mysterious past, who may or may not be a cyborg. Yoongi is the sassy, zero-gravity navigator. Jin runs the floating tavern they crash into for supplies. Taehyung is an unhinged stowaway with pirate blood and a closet full of stolen uniforms. 🌠 Ending Scene Idea (Let me ruin you real fast): After the treasure planet begins collapsing (as it does), Jungkook refuses to leave Jimin behind. He hurls himself across shattering terrain to pull him from the wreckage. Later, on the rescue ship—Jimin, bruised and breathless, confesses: “You were supposed to be a mission.” “Yeah,” Jungkook whispers, cradling his face, “and you were supposed to be annoying.” And then they kiss in a burst of stardust and broken rules. 💫 PART ONE: Starborn • Set-up & Worldbuilding ➤ Introduce Etherion myth, Jungkook’s rebellious ass, and Jimin’s flawless authority. ➤ Forced partnership, mutual loathing, undeniable tension (ugh, enemies to lovers is a drug). ➤ Training scenes. Close quarters. One bed. Emotional avoidance via bickering. ➤ Flashback reveals for both. ➤ The map activates. ➤ Betrayal moment when Jungkook finds out Jimin’s been ordered to spy. ➤ BIG fight. They separate. Cliffhanger: ship crashes on Treasure Planet. 💥 PART TWO: Starbound • Crash-landed on the surface of Etherion ➤ Life-threatening danger. Reluctant team-up to survive. ➤ Tender moments as they start to trust again. ➤ Soft zero-G kiss that turns into “we can’t do this” that turns into “screw it, I’m doing this” ➤ Cue explosive, desperate smut scene in a glowing field of bioluminescent flowers with low gravity. Maybe they float. Maybe they cry. Maybe we scream. • They discover the heart of Etherion ➤ The real treasure = lost AI archives + legacy of Jungkook’s family. ➤ Jimin and Jungkook make the final choice together to destroy it before it’s weaponized. ➤ Emotional space escape. ➤ Ending: Building a small life together post-mission. Quiet, starlit peace. Possibly an epilogue line like: “You don’t need a map when I’m already home.”
