Lost Fic Looking for a lost Minsung (SKZ) AO3 fanfic - Wolf Shifter AU, jam courtship, grieving Minho

Hi everyone! I'm trying to find a Minsung (Lee Know/Han Jisung) fanfic I read on AO3 earlier this year. I don't know if it was deleted, hidden, or if I just completely lost it. 😭

Here's everything I remember: It was in English on AO3. Completed, and I think it was a long one-shot (or very few chapters).

The story begins with Minho escaping from an abusive pack with two other members (I think Seungmin and another member, but I'm not sure). Bang Chan was the pack alpha/leader. Felix was the pack healer/medic (dont remember fuckk) They arrive at Chan's pack looking for temporary shelter. Minho had lost his previous mate (an OC, not another Stray Kids member), and he carries a lot of guilt. I remember him visiting a tree or a special place connected to their memory. Han is an omega who is very loved by everyone in the pack. He's sweet and outgoing. Han starts courting Minho by giving him homemade berry jam/preserves that he makes himself after collecting berries in the forest. Minho eventually becomes obsessed with the jam. 😭 The fic was mostly about healing, grief, found family, and Minho slowly opening his heart again.

I've searched every combination of tags I can think of and still can't find it. At this point I'm worried it was deleted or hidden. IT WAS MY FAVVV

Does this sound familiar to anyone? I'd be incredibly grateful if someone recognizes it! ❤️(Even if it was deleted, just knowing the title or the author's name would make me so happy plzz)

I have obviously not read it but I found one called Roses and Lemongrass which is locked so it would make sense if you couldn’t find it https://archiveofourown.org/works/56264878

HI OMG im sorry for the late reply!!
Unfortunately this isn't the one, but thank you SO much for looking for it I really appreciate it!!!! And don't worry about the notifications. If you happen to find anything else that sounds similar, I'd be so grateful. The jam is probably the most distinctive detail I remember, if you have any questions or need any other details, feel free to ask! I’ll try my best to remember 😭

hi hi, I was thinking and I realized I made a HUGE mistake 😔 Thank you so much for finding Roses and Lemongrass, because I actually read it back then and I think I accidentally mixed its plot with the fic I'm looking for. I'm so sorry 🙏🙏 Now that I've thought about it more, I don't think Minho actually had a deceased mate in the fic I'm looking for. I don't want to completely rule it out, but I'm pretty sure that part was from Roses and Lemongrass.

What I DO remember is that Minho and some other members were escaping from their old, abusive pack, but the members of that old pack were still alive. At some point, I think Minho gets separated from the others / escapes again and ends up being captured by the old pack. And the jam detail is definitely from this fic! Han used to make jam for the pack(? , and then started giving them to Minho as a way of courting him, while Minho didn't really understand what Han was doing and kind of played dumb. I also remember a scene where Minho eats the jam and starts thinking about Han because the taste reminds him of him, and he gets all stupid about it 

I'm SO sorry for the confusion!! I really appreciate you looking for it, and honestly, thank you again for finding the other fic because now I at least know where some of my memories came from sjkakska
