I felt as if I was holding my breath the entire time, and it came out in a rush when I was done. The subtle suspense, all the beautiful similes, and the pitch-perfect dialogue of two fifteen year old boys slowly finding home...

This was absolutely worth so much hard work. It's gorgeous. I can't wait to read more of what you've written. ♥

My struggles have been worth it, to know you felt that way about this. I'm kind of blushing here, because I never feel the way readers do about what I write. It's really uplifting to me. Thank you.

=^..^=~

This was adorable and really pretty in general. I picture the entire location in my head and everything was beautiful between all the angst. I just want a second part.

[canadaphile]

There was angst? I didn't know there was angst. When did that get in there? My fics kind of take on a life of their own and get away from me, but I'm really glad this appealed to you. Thank you for reading and leaving such a lovely comment. Unfortunately, there will, more likely than not, not be another part. Just think in the way of "happily ever after."

Don't let my imagination run wild, I don't want to have this fic in my head a few months thinking about what happened next with them. I DON'T WANT TO. DON'T DO THAT TO ME. SO BAD, YOU ARE BAD.

They could be that awkward couple that's somehow voted "most likely to stay together" after graduation. Kyungsoo flips off the haters, and Jongin hides in his shoulder out of love embarassment. Who knows what really happens~? UwU

i really really really liked this, like really liked this

[canadaphile]

I am really really really glad you liked this. Like, super duper really glad.

[nocturnalrescue]

For some reason, this was so enjoyable to read. I like how you wrote the misfit parts of their personalities and that they were misfits in the first place. Kyungsoo was adorable and he made my heart go all squeezy.

Your writing style was really fun to read because i would read and then re read and then recognize the genius of whatever phrasing you had used.

Also i just ugh ksoo was so cute the whole thing eith the makeup was absolutely heart melting and downer/goth soo just gives me the feels like i love when hes happy and smiley and stuff but just ugh

And jongin was so much fun to read he was just as awkward and cute as i would imagine and i melted at his conversation with chanyeol for some reason i love that

I wish i could be more specific about what i liked about it but i really cant pinpoint what it was i enjoyed it was just overall a really feel good, well written one shot.

Thank you for this

For some reason, this was so enjoyable to read. I'm flattered, yet ... should I still be insulted? You were surprised you enjoyed this. Was it because of me or my plot or what?

All I knew with this fic was that Kyungsoo was going to have makeup. Originally, this was some punk AU. Punk died. The makeup stayed.

I am really happy you enjoyed this. I'm rather pleased with the result as well, honestly. It's nice others feel the same.

Hmm, well i said 'for some reason' because i was having a really hard time putting my finger on exactly what it was that made me like it so much. Because there were so many parts to like. The characterization was really well done. It made kyungsoo and jongin really likable to me. The writing was awesome. I loved that you related jongin to the book character and the pace of the writing made it easy to read and savor. Your word choice gave the story a certain complexity (i dont know if thats the right word but lets go with it) or maybe depth (?) that really went with your characters and plot. For example, i loved the image i got from, "and Jongin here was dragging everything from exuberance to frustration to affection via text."

Sorry i was so vague about it ^^' everything about your story was really great and i was just having trouble (still am im sorry) vocalizing specifics cuz ive never been good at that

[canadaphile]

Okay. I was just a bit worried about that wording, like, "should I be offended? Am I usually such a poor writer they were surprised with this?" Now I know; thank you for clarifying a bit. I feel better about myself, now.

“Talking to yourself again, nerd?”

“Nope. Holding a séance to try contacting your dead brain cells.” He shook his head. “No luck. I did manage to find the fucks I used to give, but they're content where they are.”

^^^ my favorite lines in the fic

I have to say the first few paragraphs were so misleading that at first I dropped this fic. But then I read it again last night and then BOOM I enjoyed every single word.

I really like how you characterized Kyungsoo as a misfit here. The language is different from the other fics too so I felt the "misfit" theme well used. AND THE HUMOR.

OH GOD THE HUMOR. VERY DRY VERY SARCASTIC VERY A+++++ /smothers u with kisses

I just love a fic with good humor. Kudos :) can't wait til reveals so I can check out your other works (if I haven't yet)

[canadaphile]

I'm really proud of myself for thinking of those line, honestly. I was trying to channel my inner rebellious teenage boy.

You've gotta stay with me for at least a dozen paragraphs, man. Trust me. It can only get worse better. THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME A SECOND CHANCE. YOU'RE A GODDESS. *snivels in your skirts*

The humour is super dry and sarcastic. Like me.

[hearteulips]

"Very dry and sarcastic. Like me."

A+++++

I'm like a cynical Martini.
