Oh, guh. As much as I love your porn (and you know how much I love your porn!), I absolutely adore it when you write something as intimate and quiet as this piece. You've really fleshed out the theme of worship so well, both with Siwon's obvious devotion and Mimi's observation of him. And you could have been more obviously stressing how Mimi finds Siwon so physically attractive, but I really like that you've chosen a more introspective note into both their characters, and how Siwon's religious devotion informs his whole personality.

The whole mood of the fic is amazing. I like how Siwon's prayer slowly becomes a mirror for Mimi's own thoughts and ultimately turns them inwards, and the contrasting ideas of what they both pray for (Mimi for things, Siwon giving thanks and wanting to be closer to Mimi). Because Mimi would be the type to get too caught up in the world and all its details, whilst Siwon would look beyond that

Thank you <3 I went round and round with this one, flicking between apple and fallen angel, and I woke up yesterday thinking 'Mimi watching Siwon pray' and it was (to borrow Hyukkie's phrase) as easy as eating after that.

It was about time to poke at their personalities a bit more rather then RAWR PORN. I think I needed the change in pace to let them settle in my mind a bit more. It's been such a long time since I wrote in a contemporary fandom (two years - I'm not counting F1 because that's more like a habit than a fandom!) and I admit I'm finding it hard to nail down what I want to do with these boys. Beyond the obvious XD

I have to write the apple fic, I keep buying apples so I can eat as I write, how healthy!

HyukMin next :D Sweaty dancing Hyukkie and cute innocent Min.

I get what you mean about their personalities - it's so tempting to just write the obvious PWPs but I guess what makes the whole group so interesting is the way that they're almost nothing like their 'performance' personas. So many of them are gigantic dorks, but so many of them have issues so I guess part of the fun is teasing out all the subtleties. Like you've done here XD

"The wardrobe door is closed. Everything is clean. The only untidy thing is the sunlight, striping irregular patterns across the wooden floor."AAhh, I really like the idea/image of light being messy. and I like the contrast between their personal perspectives on religion/faith, and between Christianity and Buddhism. Also this: "He feels awkward and vulnerable, aware of his position laid out on Siwon’s bed like some kind of offering on an altar." so lovely!

Writing slash about Siwon always makes me feel kind of odd because even though most of the Super Junior members are religious to some degree, Siwon is very, very devout, and conservative (which is an interesting contrast to his propensity for GROPING ALL THE MEMBERS). But I feel like you always make it work, ahhh <3 <3 <3 I loved reading this.

Thank you! Religion is something I find inherently fascinating, although I don't have a specific religion myself. And I know exactly what you mean about writing Siwon - he seems too perfect and I like flaws, and he doesn't seem to have any, unless you count indiscriminate cuddling LOL so... IDK I admire people who have such strong faith but it can be a weakness as well as a strength. Er, not even sure what I'm trying to say -_- except I find Siwon difficult to write atm *sigh*

Thank you again ^^

I think I'm starting to fall in love with the way you write.
You somehow manage to perfectly portray that exact moment in fic, thos emotions and everything.

wow this was gorgeous. someone on my tumblr recommended you because I wanted to read zhou mi/ siwon and people don't really write them but this was gorgeous,

[glitterburn]

Thank you so much :D

I feel like I have done this piece of writing (and you) a disservice by waiting so long to read it. You have an almost magical gift for detail and emotion that makes it so easy to sink into your stories, and this one is no different. I have no problem envisioning Siwon's room or inferring why it might look such a way. And Zhou Mi's own prayer was so beautiful because I understood exactly what he was experiencing from the way you wrote it. I'm sorry for the I appropriately long, rambling comment, but this story was so fantastic that I couldn't help myself - I needed to say something!

Thank you so much for such a lovely comment. I had completely forgotten this fic - such a pity I didn't get more inspired by SJM's comeback this year, WonMi was such a wildly angsty pairing!
