without warning we lose the vastness.
PG-13 · 4246 words · EXO
Kai, Baekhyun

It takes years to squash a bleeding heart. AU.

note: They say write what you know so I'm going to write about grim reapers. This is, once again, just like "you and i, learning to speak," for Tori (herocountry) because it's been a year since I've written anything and you told me to

WHY DO YOUR COMEBACKS TAKE SO LONG worse than exo. at least this is a beautiful (insert song that exo doesn't have) instead of a 'wolf'................. sobs i'm so happy T__T ty for this T__T your writing is always so enjoyable to read, it's like walking through a woody allen movie or flipping through some glossy indie fiction mag T___T the gliding casual melancholy in this fic, ugh you do that atmosphere best ;____; the accuracy of how insincere an inanimate object could taste, and this “Gross,” I tease, wrinkling my nose, but I don’t really mean it because Baekhyun’s idea of fixing me was to make me laugh. Baekhyun’s idea of fixing a terrible pop song on the radio was shouting the wrong lyrics and hoping he won. And he always did win. ONE OF MY FAVOURITE PARTS, just how well it rings?? AND THIS AMAZING LINE The throat is an open sepulchre, the mouth a faithless grave, and when we did our jobs we were liars at best. jongin and baekhyun subconsciously drawn to humanity, chasing it :'( dreamy yixing and sweet baekhyun, the careful building and piecing together so the whole fic is like a memory nooooo. also your forever sense of impermanence, even with them as grim reapers they don't last ;; AND THIS BC I'M EASY It was the kind of loneliness that didn’t manifest itself all at once, like when your dog dies or when your best friend moves across the country over the weekend, but more like the kind of loneliness that takes years to build up and even longer to break down.

actually going back for quotes, all the bits in the beginning alluding to the grim reaper reveal that you don't notice until the second time around!! sigh ;;;;;; i will always tell you to write :'(

at least u didn't wait 4 years like u did the last one ok

thank you! you always say the sweetest things! the sepulchre line is from the bible... i think.
i think where i tried to go with memory is if you remember everything about yourself you go KAPUT bye then it's RIP

yaaaaah i'm glad you like, i will write you anything you ever wanted!! ;;

fun fact my favorite food is pizza so 40% of writing this pained me

^ AGREE (this piece kind of reminded me a little of 'the five people we meet in heaven', don't know if that's just me though)
