At first I saw the 60k word count and was +++apprehensive because longfics can go either way and, let me just say, yours veered in the best direction. Man! What an adventure. I'm a sucker for space romances, slow burn, and adventure, and this fic delivered all of it! I loved the progression of they're relationship and Jongin's?? Eyes??? Giving away his feelings????? Consider all boxes ticked!
This was such a such a lovely storyline and I thought the way you linked in Jongdae's appearances was very, very clever. I should also probably say that the smut was excellent? I loved, loved, loved the sexual tension that kept accumulating, and found it pretty hilarious that they pretty much had dry sex but Kyungsoo was still like 'I can't admit that I have a crush on him'!! Okay son.
But really, amazing read. Well worth neglecting my responsibilities this afternoon to read. Thank you so much for sharing!
I'm glad you weren't disappointed when you read it! I worked hard to make it run smoothly so the 64k wouldn't be so daunting and I'm glad it worked out! Thank you sosososo much for reading and commenting! I remember when I first read your comment I was super happy all day ;W;
This is such a massive fic but it didn't feel long at all? The world building is AMAZING and the tension at first~ I LOVE IT~ I love love the pacing and you did such a lovely job WHO ARE YOU? THANK YOU!
This was BEAUTIFUL. 60k went by just like that. what a great read. i love the daknaes eye changing color thing, it made them falling in love with each other that much more sweeter after all those other colors of anxiety, anger, and fear. i loved minseoks character here too he made me laugh so much, lolol esp w him calling for ksoos help from being kissed. im always so amaed w writers who can write these incredibly long plots but fit it in simply seven chapters and still making it feel so complete. i love this. the tensions between them to the beginning, to jongin feeling great regret, to them coming together not knowing where to draw the line, ahhhh simply perfect.
My favorite part of writing this was the Daknae people's eyes changing color. It really made it more unique to show Jongin's feelings not only through his expressions, but also the intensity of the colors in his eyes. I was trying to make the sparking at the edges happen when he feels overwhelmed with whatever he's feeling at that moment. Like for example the peach color when he and Kyungsoo would be intimate, his eyes would spark because he feels immense love for Kyungsoo at that moment :)
omg i read this in a single sitting :o im usually a silent reader but i wanna say that i rlly enjoyed this ahha tho i dont always read this genre. thank you for writing this whoever you are!! :-)
I JUST FINISHED AND IM SO EXHAUSTED THAT WAS AMAZEBALLS WOW IMMA SPOT THIS AND COME BACK
IM BAAAACK wowow so that was one hell of a ride??? i loved everything okay okay i like how jongin's eyes can change colors depending on his mood and feeling, that's rly great ;; and yeah slowburn romance is always a big yes. i wish there could've been more of jongin's background and interaction w his species, i feel like we got to know of him more towards the end and tbh it was still too little for a monster fic like this /cries/ also the end was rly sad to me, poor jongin ;; /cries more/ but im glad he is at least with soo so it's alright ;u; thank you for your hard work, writing 60k+ fic must have been really challenging ;u; so great job!
I really wanted to give more interactions between Jongin and the rest of his people but to be honest, I was running out of time for my deadline and it was already such a long fic, I didn't want to make it too overwhelming to read you know? I would have gone into more detail or have even changed a few things around had it been a chaptered fic outside of the fest, but that's okay. I'm still satisfied with how it went :)
