coming of age fic!!
and i have the biggest weakness for dramatic, yelling/crying confession scenes and there were two here!! how did you know, anon?? ;;;;
chanyeol's character was so realistic here. him being a charmer and kind of a dick but still being a good person...sometimes. lol. and baekhyun being the more grounded of the two of them.
and baekhyun flirting with boys and girls and chanyeol being like "i don't understand" when actually, he does, but he's just too much of a fail to realize it OTL
i loved kyungsoo being boss and telling chanyeol off in his calm, i-will-take-none-of-your-shit way.
and i awwww'ed at jongin semi-scolding chanyeol for hurting baekhyun.
really, i just loved your characterizations of everyone! they were just spot on.
and i loved baekhyun and chanyeol trying to be pains to get joonmyun to stop being so "suho" in public. i am in support o this venture!
basically, this was baekyeol being dicks to each other and that's my favorite baekyeol tbh! lmao.

thank you so much anon! i loved it! ;; i still am ( ... )

Hiiii. So I kind of agonized for so long over what to do with this because you're really fond of girl!Exo (I even checked out your lj to see what type of fics you wrote/would like to have) and I just couldn't write them. ;_; Also I can't write smut to save my life. So the lolita-like one was out of the running too. Sobs.

I basically chose coming of age because it seemed like the prompt that would fit my style best. I'm so glad you still liked the result.;; This is my first time to write canon (I only write AUs) and I really enjoyed the whole writing process even though it made my head hurt.

I'm really glad you liked everyone's characterization. I swear I didn't know about your love for yelling/crying confession scenes. It was supposed to only be one, but it just didn't feel right and the story just kept on going. And going. And going.

Thank you too for giving such great prompts!

it's totally fine! just b/c i have an unhealthy obsession with girl!exo doesn't mean i only read girl!exo or expect other people to write it!
i'm sorry writing my prompt made your head hurt ;; but it came out great!!
haha i totally understand when fics just keep going despite trying to end them XD i guess the double emotional confession scenes were just meant to be! lol.
thank you again!!!

Well, the head hurting was a good thing tbh, haha. I actually wrote this so much faster than my snjc_bb fic. Thanks as well for going back to reply!

made my heart jump up and down several times

the unspoken tension in the beginning was quite excellent

They're such an overexposed ship and yet I feel like they're very layered too? Thank you so much for reading and commenting! I'm glad you liked this. :)

Screaming at you!

I really, really loved this. The characterizations were A+ and the dialogues were perfect. I love the way you wrote how Chanyeol and Baekhyun's friendship is. Like they're really, really close, but there's this tiny hint of something that they might not be acknowledging. I really enjoyed their banter and all the interactions. The way you played out Chanyeol's jealousy was really well done, like it was there, but it wasn't so blatant and the way Chanyeol hid behind his "player" and "cooler than thou" persona was really good. The confrontation was written well and I could just feel Chanyeol's frustration and Baekhyun's anger emanating from them, like goodness the tension was thick and I wanted to smack their faces together and let them at it already.

I don't know what else to say! Except this was amazing and perfect and BaekYeol. <3

Hey you!

Thanks for letting me consult you even though you had no idea what I was talking about and you weren't really able to read the draft of the fic, hahaha. Your input really helped calm me down on that last day. :)

I'm a big fan of subtlety in fic, and it's just the way I imagine they would be (even though I have no idea how they are in real life). I'm glad the emotions came across even though Chanyeol barely acknowledged anything.

;nnnnnnnnnnnnn;
i love fics like this it's bittersweet and sad but cute and fluffy at times i don't know how to feel ;n;
how you captured baekyeol's real-life dynamics and their personalities is lovely and it's so believable
A+++++ good job i think i'M GONNA CRY AGAIN

Did I make you cry? ;_; I'm sorry!

Life is at times fluffy and at times really sucky. I like reflecting both whenever I write, so I'm really glad you enjoyed this. I'm honestly surprised by how everyone agrees with my characterization of Baekyeol. I really appreciate your comment! Thank youuu.
