FINALLY I'm home to reply~! I'm not kidding that I almost cried when I woke up to find your comments. Kindest comment I've ever received btw.

Your prompt...<3 Usually when I write Exo only crack comes out, so I kind of jumped at the chance to try some angst. I love ChanLu so much! And as much as I love snarky-ass bitch Lu, I wanted to write a really sweet ChanLu dynamic for this fic. I'm so relieved you liked it! And that you didn't mind having to slog through 50k to get to the ending ( ... )

OMG SERIOUSLY AUTHORNIM YOU GOT ME IN A MESS OF EMOTIONS OKAY but in a good way please don't get me wrong!

I LIKE HOW CHANYEOL SPENT HIS TIME WITH HIS FRIENDS AND ACTUALLY STUDYING LMAO AND LIKE I LIKE HOW IT WAS ALL DETAILED THE SMALL BITS OF EVERYTHING MATTERED OKAY AND HOW THINGS CONNECT lmao

LIKE WTF THE CHANLU WAS SO PERFECT

BUT YOU HAD ME ROOTING FOR A BIT OF CHANKAI

But I'm so GLAD you hooked me back to CHANLU when Chanyeol's friends let him use their frequent flier miles so yeollie could see lulu in NY OMFG FUCK THEY ARE SUCH GOOD FRIENDS. /INSERT GRETCHEN WIENERS I'M SUCH A GOOD FRIEND.GIF/ <-- IM SORRY THAT WAS RANDOM OMFG ( ... )

Wow, thank you so much for bothering to read this and then leave me such a lovely comment! (I pretty much only read longfic, but that's just me.) CHANLU ChanLu chanluuuu. I love them too <3 This whole thing is one giant self indulgence of fluffy ChanLu.

You liked the small detailed bits of everything? omfg thank you. I can't not do details, they are a blessing and a curse. idek what concise even means.

yeah, I'm pretty sure that's not how frequent flier miles work in rl, but whatever. I was hooking them back up at the end, deus ex machina or no. It had to happen. (and thank you for that mean girls reference ^^)

ChanKai...I'm so sorry Jonginnie >.< Honestly I don't feel like Chanyeol (at least in this interpretation) could've just ignored Jongin forever, like if he tried he'd last six hours before he cracked. so yeah they had to have that sucky talk in the cafe T.T the buncheong bit was just me getting carried away, but I'm glad if it worked. I would apologize for messing up your kokoro, but if this made you feel ( ... )

This is everything I live for. (I'm only half joking ;;)

Everything about this story is amazing, perfect and on point. All the characters are just right, I love each one of them !!! I admit I have a soft spot for Jongin (not only because of my icon okay? lmao) and my heart was aching for him because this is so unfair and it's only a question of timing T.T But he gets his happy end and with sehun too so it makes it better <3 Chanyeol is painfully human and accomodating and the perfect boyfriend for Luhan !!! I mean, there isn't a lot of people who would have been okay to stay in a long-distance relationship and who would have waited all this months for their loved one...But Luhan is awesome too !!! At some point I thought Chanyeol and Jongin would become a thing, I was waiting for the drama but no ! The outcome of the fic would have been very different if they got together. It's happier and kinda hope inducing that way :3 It must be hard to choose between your lover and your dream/career, but even harder for the one who's being left. ( ... )

You're absolutely right, it's totally an issue of timing! Like if Lu hadn't sat next to Chanyeol on that train... Sehun is the lucky bastard when it comes to the timing.

Chanyeol is a big lump of pathetic but is also the perfect bf for Lu, yes! But he could've been so good with Jongin too. I actually was in a long distance relationship for over a year (probably part of the reason I was so invested in writing this, hehe), and we survived without drama. Eventually it ended for unrelated reasons but yes, it is kinda hope inducing that way. Wow. I never thought of it that way before.

I'm glad the characters turned out ok, that's one of the hardest parts for me though I really enjoyed writing all the side characters. (yes, Zitao!) Thank you for reading and leaving such an insightful comment! <3

i 90% thought chanyeol was going to end up with jongin but i checked the pairings and was a bit disappointed that he didn't :((( but sekai in the end are so cute it's all right

the one line that resonated the most with me: The first streaks of cello smear across his ears before the lights slowly rise, a yellow green filter over the backlighting as fog starts to creep from the wings in slow tendrils, then thick curls.
the unique description just made me alsdkfjlaskjdf probably the music nerd in me getting too excited ;___;

i loved this. it was paced well, and the characters made sense and i connected with them a lot ;; i don't think i have enough words to tell you how much i liked it so i'm keeping it short and simple, absolutely /fantastic/ job! ♥

the chankai was actually a last minute development, but it was still so hard to let Jongin down in the end T_T so yay sekai!

oh--I'm really glad you appreciated that part! that scene was my favorite bc I'm a dance nerd. I wish I knew more abt music though (my ignorance is no doubt the reason it sounded unique).

you are too nice. pacing is the eternal thorn in my side, so wow. thank you so much for commenting! <3

no, no I'm not. (wasn't? orz ><) basically, I specifically avoided writing chankai bc I thought I couldn't pull it off. but then Jongin weasled his adorable ass in there and caused me a string of problems. like I was finally approaching the end and then the Kris narrator voice in my head started pointing out the chankai elephant in the room with his beautiful long fingers >.<

well, it's one of those *it's really no one's fault that's just life* super sucky situations, both with the unrequited feels and the deserter bf Luhan. you would definitely be justified in dumping Lu's sorry ass though. (but tbh...that was me, I actually did that to someone. except it was a bff not a bf, but still only minimally more forgivable and I'm so glad she loves me and I didn't get dumped)

ahahahaha...you thought I put the wrong pairing? no, I only did that for my /other/ exchange fic. >.> oops.I may or may not have gone and read a bunch of Jongin fic to help me with characterization (new to fandom problems, omg) so writing this was also a ( ... )

It's ok it's ok! I love space, especially when there are sandwiches.
....prompt me and I just might, but I'm really bad at new ideas.
The internet is my favorite, other than dancing and cozy things (but don't let me fool you I actually suck at dance)
oh and your other comment I forgot to reply to: grammar is hard >< part of my job is being a grammar reference and like I love linguistics a lot, but the prescriptivist parts *cough*punctuation*Cough*cough* make absolutely no sense to me. It's ok, it's not sad. And you are great at it :)
