okay, so i'm not sure if this is a weird kind of compliment (i hope not), but this fic reminds me of one of my favorite super junior fics of all time -- coincidentally also a kyusung, and probably the only other kyusung fic i've read that really made me feel something, or rather a lot of somethings.
i've been CRAVING good kyusung ever since i read that story (agessss ago) and i've probably frayed the link by the # of times i've reread it, so it's incredibly fantastic and thrilling to have some new material to tangibly adore. and i do adore this! i really like the way you write. the vocabulary you use is vast... but also visceral? hm i hope that makes sense. this was one of my favorite lines (and i had quite a few):
“Jongwoon-hyung,” he starts, but Jongwoon doesn’t catch his eye so he falters a bit, all the words he’d practised yesterday crumbling like ash on his tongue. There is a silence so thick with discomfiture that Kyuhyun cannot find the words to speak; his mind is completely blank.
so, so lovely. i seem to have this thing for kyuhyun being a dense (but always lovable) jerk and yesung being understanding and affectionate and most of all knowing. and you write that so well. i'm so glad you didn't write yesung as some weirdo who could only ever possibly love turtles, because he's so much better than that and it can be frustrating to read such one dimensional characterization time and time again. i also admit to loving how everyone in this fic--when decidedly not acknowledging their Feelings--just glomps donghae. oh, donghae.
i also loved your ryeowook and sungmin! especially ryeowook mildly beating up on kyuhyun -- i have always thought of him as the little engine that could. definitely spicier on the inside! and oh, other things that i really appreciated: the misfits quote at the beginning. PERFECT. perfect perfect perfect. i think maybe i've gone on too long... but this made me so happy to see today. thank you for writing it! ♥ (if you couldn't tell already, i really enjoyed reading it. REALLY.)
gahhhh i'm sorry this is so late, had a 13-hour flight and am still jetlagging, and i saw your comment a while ago but i wanted to type a proper response because christ if it isn't one of the best comments i've ever gotten. alsklfsdf
it is actually a compliment of the highest form if this reminded you of tarmenel's leap of faith because that is totally one of my favorite suju fics as well and alsdjalsdf i love that fic so, so much and for this fic to be even placed in the same sentence, i - i just don't know what else to say. thank you so, so much, i am so happy you liked this.
and if by visceral you mean raw, i could not be more flattered because it is exactly what i'm gunning for in most of my fic. aklsdjalfasdlasdf thank you!!
also, omg i would never ever write yesung like that, it riles me up so much when i'm reading fic and he is just forever a weirdo in all of them and GOD. yesung gets his stereotype the most imo, and sungmin as the bunny prince would be my pick as the next most frustrating stereotype. i am so happy you found the characterization okay because i worry so much about characterization (being exceptionally picky when i read fics) gahhhh. donghae is very glomp-able! :D
ryeowook is definitely more than most people pick up imo, he's got nerves of steel, that boy has. :D and aksjll;df the misfits quote was actually what inspired this fic, so oh god thank you so, so, so much, i am legit just speechless at how flattered i am and i wasn't really sure when i posted this if i liked it or not, but i was rushing out the door to catch my flight and i couldn't look at it any more, so i was all asldfaskdf this is weird and i liked some parts, but, first time writing kyusung etc and. oh god just thank you so much for liking it and writing such a beautiful comment. ♥♥♥
