I really liked this fic: Humans can survive underwater, but not for very long

I'm not a fan of MinKey, but this fic does MinKey the way I like, which is to say not very 'MinKey' at all. I really love Minho in this, but especially Key -- it manages to capture his bravado and breezy attitude as well as how intensely lonely and complicated he is deep down. Key is a ghost, Minho is a college student and part-time ghost whisperer/spiritual medium/dude who sees dead people, and Key is haunting his apartment. The story is funny and sad and just all around a treat to read. It's simply written but also intelligently so; it's lean, tight, with very little narrative excess. It wastes no time or type describing what the characters look like physically but cleverly points out Key's varying states of corporeality and solidity as a ghost. I think it's just a very cleverly written story in general without the affected unnecessary stylistic flourishes I'm used to seeing in kpop fic. There are a few spelling errors and the writer could've used a beta, but other than that, it's probably the best MinKey fic I've read yet.
