♔ REVELATION TIME ♔
It's been a long time (five months!) coming, but here we are now.
What started off as something set up purely out of love for Chen aka Kim Jongdae has turned into a collective effort of 178,856 words worth of labours of love for him, and us mods have every single one of you to thank for that, #funkytown ♡ We did an amazing thing together!
However, some people deserve bone-crushing virtual hugs in addition to those thanks: our heroes and pinch-hitters sarawt, sendmyluv2korea, apeeling, shanwens, thesockmonster, edae, chansoos, baekhannies, jojo_kim, bearlyalive and hunchou, all of whom rose at our cries (read: emails) of distress and saved the day ♡ Without you this exchange really wouldn't have gone through ;__; Thank you so much!
[Socks Says]socks:
i couldn't have done it without my wonderful co-mod, shoes, who took my hand in hers from the very start and had never once let go, staying on this crazy ride of staring at gmail and gdocs spreadsheets and dropbox folders all the way till the end. i love you so much ♡ many thanks are also in order to all my friends - choi, shim-nam, kwon, krong, button and sugasuga - for calming me down and distracting me when things got a little too overwhelming ♡ i love all of you~
to every single one of you who have left us amazing words of encouragement, support and enthusiasm for this round of chenpionships, be it something as seemingly menial as omg chenpionships or incoherent gurgles complete with our misspelled comm name, thank you ♡ seeing everyone enjoy these fics and the experience (aka my crazy tweets/edits/emails) really, really warms our heart more than anything.
finally, to jongdae, who will never read this: you deserve every bit of love nestled between the words in all of these fics, and so, so much more. never stop shining, starlight ♡

day 1
♔ Take a breath (and let him fly) by sarawt
for wrinkledheart - Chen/Luhan. R. Too used to his son always being near Jongdae has a hard time letting him go, and Lu Han has a hard time convincing Jongdae that he's over-reacting.
♔ under arrest (for stealing my heart) by junxings
for perfectiontales - Chen/Sehun. PG-13. The five times Jongdae put Sehun in handcuffs (and no, not that way) and the one time he didn't.
♔ coffee stains on your fingertips (and under my skin) by shanwens
for pretend_parties - Chen/Kai. R. Jongin only orders white chocolate mochas.
♔ The Zest of Life by sardothien
for tripmee - Chen/Suho. PG-13. Life as an orange is surprisingly bland, until Joonmyun comes to whisk him away.
♔ Catch My Breath by jojo_kim

day 2
♔ How should I woo you? by chansoos
for #FUNKYTOWN - Chen/Kris. NC-17. Jongdae is lame and Baekhyun mocks him way too much while Kris is a successful businessman, who isn't really sure about what he wants. And Luhan is just, Luhan.
♔ Stardust Melody by eexiee
for sophrosynes - Chen/Lay. R. There is nothing in the world that Jongdae likes more than singing, but he thinks he likes Yixing a whole hell of a lot, which is mildly terrifying to say the least.
♔ Absolut by zhonqda
for capturedhear_t - Chen/D.O. PG-13. The countdown to a bakery.
♔ Furry Little Problem by thesockmonster
for apeeling - Chen-centric. G. Jongdae wakes up as a cat. Literally.

♔ 只能怪你自己 (you have only yourself to blame) by zitaomfg
for exothermc - Chen/Xiumin, Chen/Baekhyun. PG-13. The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them and for every good reason there is to lie, there is a better reason to tell the truth.
♔ S.U.H.O. by bearlyalive
for forchencookies - Chen/Suho. PG-13. Jongdae makes a private document and accidentally sends it out to the entire company. He could only come up with one solution: make a virus to delete the copies.

♔ Some things can't be rearranged by sarawt
for miyunnie - Chen/Kris. PG-13. There are good aspects of Jongdae's life, many things he feels proud of, but mistakes from the past constantly haunt him and it doesn't help that

for praxisss - Chen/Suho/Jongdae. NC-17. Two for the price of one.
♔ i read the menu for me-n-u by tripmee

day 6

for yoghurts - Chen/Xiumin. PG-13. tyra banks, chinese fonzie, tarzan and huang zitao (because he needs no introduction) take jongdae out on a boy’s night. what they don’t plan for, however, is the appearance of a boy they didn’t plan to include and the fact that lemon juice in the eye causes a nasty temporary blindness, just when there’s something to see.
