When I read this on the exchange I thought RIGHT WHO WROTE THIS I KNOW THIS STYLE and then after the reveals it was YES OF COURSE

HOLY HELL this was a really great fic. For starters, I loved the way you broke it up and also the way you included real and fabricated quotes (YOU LISTEN TO THORNAPPLE I LOVE YOU). It gave information to the story so smoothly, because you didn't have to explain it within the text and that can be really jarring if not done extremely well, I find. Kudo points for you.

And then the universe hnnnnnng I loved it. The world you constructed was so detailed and engaging. There were a lot of really fascinating elements and the best part was that it made a lot of logical sense - the way they tied together, the way people interacted within it...and the imagery was SO SHARP I mean I can see it and the whole atmosphere was tangible and all things good.

AND THE STORY ahhh how do I even with sechen and KAISOO AT THE END HOW COULD YOU LEAVE THAT THERE

All in all this was a trainwreck of a comment but thank you very much

[aprilclash]

I'm really potato at answering comments, waah. You know, when at the beginning I decided to do the initial quotes thing I didn't know it would've been so difficult. I left a lot of blank spaces because I didn't know what kind of information would've been more useful to the reader. The only thing I was sure about where the song quotes. I chose the title at the beginning and I tried to stick with the dream theme. And yes, I listen to Thornapple, but I have to thank my beta who translated the song and suggested me that quote lol.
And also thank you for saying you love the imagery oh god I was so worried it was too heavy and boring ;; and yes kaisoo wins. I really want to tell kaisoo's story, they deserve it!!

Buh, my soul is not perfect, nor creative, but it's really smug and pleased and happy now, thank you for this so-so-so nice comment /blows kisses/

okay oh my god??? honestly when my friend linked me this i was like “okay this will probably be good” but like !!!! i am so!!!!!!!!!! i loved all their little interactions (especially the ending when jongin came back oh my god i was waiting all 91k for him to come back) and let’s be real my fav character was hands down kyungsoo ;___; i just really loved everything!! all the characterization is so nice and sehun/jongdae usually isn’t my ~thing~ but they fit so well here and i love how pcy and sehun used to hate each other but in the end they work it out for baekhyun and jongdae ;_; and minseok planning for 20 years to get lu han back UGH why are you doing this :c i don’t even know what i’m saying lmao I LOVED THIS A LOT thank you for writing and sharing <3 ;_;

JONGIIIIN you know I knew what I wanted to write on the epilogue since the beginning, but I actually wrote it three minutes before sending the whole thing to the mods bc I was so late ahah /nervous laugh/ Kyungsoo deserves his whole spin-off, I wonder if I'll ever convince someone to write it...
Minseok waited a lot, but at least he got what he wanted In the original plans he died before he could meet Lu Han, but then my friends actually corrupted me with food and fics to get them a happy ending :)

Thank you lovely ♥♥♥ I'm really glad you liked it!
