Artemis, the Olympian goddess and personification of autonomy, virginity, protection, hunting and freedom from the male gaze.
Themis, the Titan goddess and personification of divine justice, balance, natural law and moral order.
Neither goddess is defined through marriage, motherhood, or subservience to a male deity. They represent female power not mediated by men.
Themis, justice. Artemis, protection of the innocent.
While Themis represents divine fairness, moral law, cosmic balance, and the innate sense of justice, Artemis is the protector of women in childbirth, young girls, the oppressed and those harmed by male violence.
Themis, principle of justice. Artemis, enforcer of justice and protector of those who suffer injustice.
Themis finds as enemies anyone who violates sacred law, oaths, hospitality, or cosmic balance. Artemis finds as enemies hunters who disrespect her, men who violate boundaries, and predatory or prideful men.
Both operate as forces against male overreach.
They both embody divine justice:
Themis is the rational, objective counterpart—the law.
Artemis is more instinctive, emotional and protective—the arrow.
Together, they form a dual model of justice: logical and visceral.
They are liminal goddesses:
Themis stands at the threshold between chaos and order.
Artemis stands at the threshold between childhood and adulthood, civilisation and wilderness.
Themis decides what ought to be, and Artemis enforces it in the mortal world.

author’s note (another must-read)
⋆⭒˚ 𓍝｡⋆
This is not your classic BTS fanfiction. Here, the focus is not on the idol and the fantasy of being with them.
The focus is on the female characters.
Rumours have it that fanfiction can’t be educational. I beg to differ. Anything can be educational as long as you make it so; that’s why I decided to write this story.
It would be incorrect of me to say that it’s not based on a true story because it is, but to be more precise, this book is based on many true-life stories, which have been forgotten, buried, overlooked or are simply unknown.
Fiction is a reflection of reality, and I shall do just that with this book. I want people to read this work and understand the kind of world we’re living in. I want you to realise how deeply corrupted the system is, so much so that the daily occurrences we usually sweep under the rug reflect just how bad we have it.
So, please, if you’re here thinking that this book is solely about your bias with a fictional female character experiencing romantic drama, let me hold your hand as I say this: this book might not be for you, unless you’re ready to widen your horizon, and for that, I thank you so much.
Essentially, the focus is less on love, back-to-back passionate smutty scenes, and drama in the classic fanfiction way. This story is fanfiction, but with a different goal. If you don’t like that, you can read other works of mine.

Side note: There’s no reason I chose specific members to play specific parts in the story. The characters are what they are, and the members are here simply to bless us with their looks.
I even changed their surnames to make the story flow better, so it further proves my point.
A specific idol playing a specific idol doesn’t reflect how I think about them at all, because some characters are straight-up evil and will remain that way even if I were to change their face claim.
Please keep that in mind.
Regarding the characters that have a tragic ending, I decided not to give them a face because, despite it just being fanfiction, I don’t know how someone would feel if they discovered that their photo had been fetched from Pinterest randomly and used to identify a character that tragically died in a random story.
I don’t know. This was my thought process, but I do describe, so don’t worry.
Another side note: the characters are actually numerous, and I didn’t present all of them here. I will likely be updating the cast (with a new chapter) as we proceed because I believe there’s no need to add them all here when I won’t be introducing them into the story until later. At that point, I’m not really sure about how well you remember them or their looks.
The same goes for the spaces. Here, I added the main ones. But if you’re not new here, you know I have a Notion page where everything is well outlined, all the characters, all the spaces, and every other micro-detail I like to never miss, such as the Spotify playlist and the Pinterest board.
Third side note: I’ll be mixing flashbacks with present-day scenes, so you should know beforehand that
→ this (𓂃˖˳·˖ ִֶָ ⋆🌷͙⋆ ִֶָ˖·˳˖𓂃 ִֶָ ) is the divider that symbolises the beginning of a flashback;
→ this (⋆｡°✩ ‧₊˚ ☾.) is the end of the flashback divider, which could also be a sort of time skip if the scene changes timeline right after the flashback;
→ this (⋆⭒˚ 𓍝｡⋆) is the usual time skip divider;
→ this (𓍝) is the chapter beginning and ending divider followed by my endnotes.
I’m also working on a commentary channel for this book, but I still don’t know whether to make it written or audio. We’ll see about that.
With all that said, I hope you’ll enjoy it.
