guhhh~~!!! its so emotional. I loved Hannie in this because he's so darn reasonable all the time!

Thank you!! I see Hankyung as being very reasonable irl so that's good to know, it means he's at least somewhat in character XD

This. Was. Epic.

I think this is my favorite of your so far. It flowed perfectly, and the reasons behind the lawsuit that you came up with were perfect, as well as Sungmin and Hankyung fighting like they did. I also love the fact that Sungmin called them "kindered souls" even though through out the rest of it, there's a large part of him that's jealous.

You also did an amazing job with the timing of everything and all that. It made it really realistic, and I love all your justifications of the things that went on. I mean, it's obvious we can't really know what went on, but your idea of it was so believable and caught Hankyung's personality perfectly - the gentle, forgiving one, who just wants to be a star.

And Sungmin, holy crap Sungmin was just perfect and even though it's kind of heartbreaking to think of him as the jealous/selfish one, it happens to stars. So you did an amazing job with making it so believable :DDD

Thank you so much - and that was exactly my intention when I was writing this whole thing (that Sungmin would see Hankyung as very similar to himself, but with his vision clouded by jealousy) but it was never explicitly said so I'm really glad that came across!

And I'm glad it seemed realistic too - I took a pretty big liberty with Sungmin being initially included in KRY, for one! We'll never know what really happened, but at least Hankyung's in character I felt a bit guilty about Sungmin at first, but it was kind of fun to write him that way at the same time...

Thank you so much again, this comment kind of made my day :D

oh damn, this is beautiful and painful at the same time...

i love the characterisation and the realness of this, it's nice and refreshing to see their insecurities and darker sides instead of just being perfect and invincible.

i really appreciated the way you wrote hangeng, because it makes him impossible to hate and yet not completely blameless either. it was so lovely to see the others support him,

It was Donghae who spoke, voice filled with conviction. “We’ll support you.
<33333

and it makes sense that siwon would know before hand~

the fight between geng and min, just OUCH. too sharp and too much truth hidden there....

this is amazing <3

Thank you so much! I'm really glad it came across as realistic, and you're right, so often they're portrayed as perfect when it's so far from the truth - they're real people too.

That is EXACTLY what I was aiming for with his characterisation! I'm really glad that came across, and I'm convinced that SuJu support Geng 100%, so I had to put that in there - not to mention I love Donghae because he's so sweet!

The fight was one of my favourite parts to write ^^

Thank you again <333

*is distracted by your kyu icon :D*

yes sweet, cute, perfect suju is nice, but it's the real, raw, painful ones that make the really good stories. plus, you're absolutely right, they are still human- albeit gorgeous, talented ones- but still human beings...

yay im glad i didn't misinterpret it or something :) ME TOO! suju= full of geng love /is uber biased
hae is super sweet and he adores geng so it makes sense...like seriously im shipping hanhae so hard right now~

you are more than welcome ^^

stripysockz August 1 2010, 17:32:34 UTC

Hehe I love that icon ^_^

Exactly - fair enough in crackfics, but otherwise, the best fics will expose their flaws - otherwise it's just not realistic.

Nope you were spot on! I sense a *slight* Geng bias lol... he was my first SuJu bias too actually :D

Wow...
I think out of all the fics i've read about hangeng suing, this is my favourite so far. There's so much emotion, especially when Heechul found out Hangeng told Siwon first, and Donghae speaking out about supporting him. SJ is a family, and it always will be. Even though this is angst, it makes me feel a bit better about the whole situation because it makes me believe fully that SJ supports Geng completely in his decision. ^^

Oh wow, thank you so much!

I firmly believe that SuJu support Geng - maybe not at first, but now that he's spoken out about SM's treatment of him I don't think they could ever hold it against him, especially given how close they all are. I wrote their reactions to the situation based on the way I think they'd react in real life. And I'm really glad I could make you feel better about the situation too! ^^

And thank you for the mem! <3
