Summary: Sehun knows Chanyeol likes to pick up strays. A small man wearing glasses, though, is not what Sehun had in mind. And to be honest, he and the adventures he brings along with him are a bit too much for Chanyeol to handle.
Author's Note: Lol this is my take on a magical adventure / long distance travel fic. Lol. Wtf.
First of all, let me apologize for how long that this got……… it really wasn’t supposed to be like this lol. This fic somehow ended up becoming significantly longer than it was supposed to be, so I was unfortunately only able to finish the first half of the fic that I had planned within the deadline, and I’ve posted just enough of it to make it sound like what I hope is a full story anyway. Despite that, this fic embodies so many things that I love, so I really hope that you guys enjoy it too :) I uh don’t really know how to write slowburn (even chanbaek irl are that “love at first sight” couple that seems to stay strong) but I hope I did this prompt justice <3
Thanks first to the mods, for putting up with me……. I’m so sorry.
Thank you soooooooooo so so so much to my loveliest N, whom without her spectacular, fantastic, amazing, and unbelievable help I’d probably be lost at the bottom of the ocean of my tears, to M, who tirelessly read through the mess of my mind and somehow helped it all make sense, and to A, for constantly supporting me from the shadows and putting up with me crying in her dms daily in the beginning of my writing process and changing plot a million times in the same week, but she loves me and there’s not really anything she can do about it at this point but grin and bear it :) (and to D, even though there is no D, just so the letters can spell “damn” backwards because damn this fic was a piece of work.)
Also, thanks to the prompter for your prompt (I beelined for it because I needed it in my life) and subsequently for letting me absolutely destroy it. It was fun. And I hope something that you may enjoy came out of it <3

(Between light and dark, there lie unspoken secrets held tight behind sealed lips, entwined pinkies sealing promises, and mysteries tied in the strings between hearts. Secrets stolen with a kiss, where the stars can’t see...

...there, and only there, will you find me.
