A Stardust!AU!!!! I absolutely adored the that movie so I was screaming internally when I read your summary. And you didn't disappoint! I loved it, especially Kyungsoo's outspoken potty-mouthed behaviour and Jongin's general ease when keeping up with him and all his tangents and insults. It reminds me of that one tumblr post about pairings with height difference where the taller is always having to apologise for the younger? My favourite kind of thing! I think I was falling in love with it so much I was so sad when it finished quickly (but that's probably because I sat through the entire movie so I was waiting for particular scenes to happen) -- but I'm really happy with how you changed up the au! That lake scene I LOVE LAKE SCENES Jongin and Kyungsoo shirtless in a lake and intensely staring at each other with feelings is what I'm about 3066% I was thrilled. Everything was great and it was a really lovely read, plus I adored Chanyeol's character! Chanyeol as a father is what dreams are made of and you made him so fun and

Thanks so much for taking the time to share your thoughts on this fic and it's extra special when it's coming from someone who's seen the movie. I never even thought abt the height difference thing but it's so presh -why didn't I see it before. And the short one is always the cranky one hahaha (think guardians of the galaxy).

And just thank you for telling me which scenes you liked best. So much love to you for reading and commenting!

OH DEAR GOD THIS IS SO ADORABLE
I just love the tone of this story - a bit whimsical, cheerful, but still worded so beautifully. And the beginning is the perfect example for it:
A pale champagne glow pulsed from a thicket of hazel, and it looked like a living cloud of glittering fireflies were hovering and dancing above it.
Suddenly, a husky male voice could be heard somewhere in the shrubbery, "Ouch." Then whoever it was swore clearly and loudly, "Fuck, fuck, fuck. That fucking hurts."
There's the completely unexpected, but very effective humor, standing in contrast to the wondeful description of the scene and reading well written scenes/stories like this one, just makes me incredibly happy!

"You just entered the Faerie Realm alone in search of a fucking star just so you can marry a girl. Which part of that sounds logical to you?"Do you have any idea how much I love Kyungsoo? He is the most wonderful character ever! (Yes, I have a very big weakness for cranky personalities or jerks... which should probably worry me a bit more than

Jenniiiiiii! Thanks for loving potty mouthed Soo and his hapless captor! And for always being super, super encouraging in every way. Your comments spur me on so much - I've told you this many times but it always bears repeating. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!

YOU PICKED MY FAVORITE PROMPT IN THAT LIST THANK YOU SO MUCH I AM OVERWHELMED WITH JOY JUST GIVE ME A MOMENT--

/wheezes/

Okay. Just to let you know, I read this on the train to uni and I was just laughing and trying not to look like a maniac. I loved the way you wrote it, the way it slightly followed the original yet had it's own amazing quirks.

"Ahhh, you mean Kim Jongdae's youngest daughter? I've been trying to put that out of my mind since you told me. I'll be honest with you, Jongin, her father is an utter prick and I fear that apples don't often fall far from the tree."

"Are you calling the woman I love a prick?!" Jongin asked in aggrieved tones.

Chanyeol being Jongin's dad was one thing, writing that was another. Luhan and Jongdae as pricks, it suits that family well I suppose!

KYUNGSOO FALLING FROM THE SKY BECAUSE "He must have flung it into the sky in some fit of insanity and I happened to be the unfortunate sod in its path. Curse that prick, whoever he is. May his armpits be infested with lice for the next two centuries

I'm so glad you liked what I did with your wonderful prompt. I really wanted to include cross dressing Sehun but the fic would have been so long and I just didn't have enough time - please forgive!

Again, thanks so much for coming up with the stardust prompt /clings to you. I claimed your prompts like 2 minutes after I received my pinch hitter email bc STARDUST AU like just try and hold me back LOL. I was so worried someone else would claim it I replied almost immediately - I think I scared the crap out of the mods orz.

cROSS DRESSING SEHUN I NEED TO SEE THAT ONE DAY HAHAHA

I'm so glad you had so much fun writing it and oh my god like I was so happy someone picked it??? Alot of my prompts are pretty random and people find it hard to write. After I send prompts I keep thinking like "that's an amazing prompt but would they know what to write?? what if they don't know the movie/book/anime????"

Anyway, would you be my senpai?
