So... Park Yoochun. I don't need to explain why I'm making this post. I also don't need to explain why keeping him in Forward and Counting would be... unwise. I'm choosing not to pick sides over it, and I mean that. Not assuming he's guilty, but not assuming that he isn't. Which is really difficult for more reasons than this one, but I won't go into detail about that here.
What I want to discuss is writing Yoochun out of FaC. Despite their size, both NMS and FaC are slice-of-life fics. There is no foreshadowing for things to come, because life has no foreshadowing, it just kind of happens. I might make Yoochun a bit more of an ass when I edit what is already posted, but that's for another time. Right now, I think it's best if YooMin break up and Yoochun leaves the apartment. As much as I hate to put Changmin through any more heartbreak when he's just starting to get back on his feet, he and Yoochun's romance is secondary to YunJae's and was always planned to be background fluffiness to whatever dramatic shit YunJae get themselves into. There will likely be a bout of heartbreak on Changmin's side, not to mention Junsu's and Jaejoong's, and a period of Changmin being single. But there will be another love in Changmin's future, cuz he deserves it. I'll also have to replan the entire rest of the story, but I was already planning on that, besides.
So what I need from y'all is opinions. Who the fuck should Changmin end up with? I only ship him with two people: Yoochun and Yunho, and Yunho is taken. Yoochun is going to break his heart. I have already set up a potential romance with Gackt, though I was never planning on utelizing it. It was just harmless flirting, but now... what do y'all think? I'll have to do some research on him to ensure he's not also a potential rapist or murderer or whatever, but if he isn't? He could come back. Changmin is also polyamorous, so he can also end up dating multiple men, so any suggestions at all are appreciated. I just don't want to make another OC. OCs as background characters are fine, but not within the main two couples.
Help me out? Gackt good? Gackt bad? Gackt + another non-acused-of-awful-crimes man?
Edit: Got 2 votes for Gackt, 1 against. Y'all are the greatest.
(P.S. And yes, I've decided to continue FaC. Not anytime soon, but eventually. I need to finish this godforsaken HoMin one shot and it is fighting me.)
(P.P.S. I've already had multiple discussions with people about keeping Yoochun in the story, and I've come to the decision that I should write him out. Guilty or innocent, I can't just hold on to this view of him in my head. If he turned out to be a major fucking asshole, yeah, but this is too serious a claim to not be affected by. I'm not interested in further discussions, so please just trust that I'm doing what is best for my own mental health. Thank you.)
