the lost year (1/?)
~4680, pg-13, (krystal-centric + jessica, kai, sulli, t.o.p)
someone accidentally refers to her as ‘Soojung’ on the shoot and she forgets to respond.
■ there will be less than 10 parts, promise.
(
In her defence, she has been grieving more than one loss at the time. )

but wow at the characterization of krystal and the overall rawness there is. idek if rawness is a word, but i hope you understand what i'm saying. i love fics that are one person-centric as well as canon because you get to see people's perceptions of how the industry works, and how you describe it is really, well, real. nothing sugar-coated, the flat out truth that people seem to deny all the time, and i love it.
i'm already looking forward to the next parts.

i'm so happy to hear that you like the characterisation! It was super difficult to maintain Krystal's persona throughout this whole fic since it's such a vital part of it. i definitely think we don't have enough fics that discuss idol's lifestyle as it is and not as some picture perfect dream that can be achieved without any big sacrifices.
AHHH I'm glad you like it! i will update by next week, i'm sure.
(also that dp cause winner /squeals/)

WHY ARE MY FRIENDS SO GOOD AT WRITING I JUST GAH
i love krystal so much. i love seeing the way she perceives the world and it's so intriguing to be at this kind of crossroads in life where literally the world is throwing all these different things at you at once and she can't do anything about it. tbh i loved the sehun/krystal interaction the most (i am so biased) but there's something about the way that sehun just seems to ~know~ things that krystal is not even aware of, that he can see into her better than she can. that is my favorite kind of sehun, tbh. is topstal gonna be end game bc i could be down for that since kaistal shines the most as angst but i'm so kaistal deprived rn lol. sighhhh

This is the canon Krystal centric fic I have been looking for with my heart.
YES to the upcoming TOPstal (classy right there) and YES to Sestal friendship because that is very legit (irl I think they have that) and of course kaistal at its angsty best. Oh! I wouldn't want to miss Sulli in here because she's definitely one of the turning points of Krystal's future <3
I especially love the dry sense of humor you made Krystal have here when she asked Tabi about wine. Actually, I especially love the details about everything in here. And you have about more chapters to go and how do I not love this when this chapter has given me so much to look out for?

This is the canon Krystal centric fic I have been looking for with my heart. Now i feel even more motivated to write and better develop Krystal's character. Yeah, Topstal def does have a classy vibe to them, don't they? YES I believe Sestal to be close irl too, they have similar personalities so I think they'd get along (and that one time f(x) mentioned him buying midnight snacks for them lol). Kaistal is killing me tho...they're so angsty and has been for the past couple of year /cries/ Yeah, Sulli does play a big part in this fic and how Krystal grows/deals with circumstances ( ... )
