[emberberry]

Long Way Home
Lu Han/Kris/Sehun, hinted Kai/Sehun
PG-13; 5,300 words
Lu Han leans against the counter and sighs, trying to think about Kris burning toast at 7AM and Sehun’s eyes watering from lack of sleep, not the memory of his mother leading him around for groceries, never letting go.

a/n: finally done ;; this is a pretty late birthday fic for citypolaroids! love

This fic is so incredible, I can't even describe the kind of feelings I get from it; I really, augh, I actually don't have the proper words just a lot of FEELINGS that I want to share so advance apologies for anything ridiculous I say.

FIRST I SERIOUSLY LOVE YOUR SEHUN CHARACTERIZATION, I feel like he's the first Sehun in a Sehun/Lu Han fic that I've really gravitated towards and wanted to hold onto and really understand and I just, wow. I've spent so long feeling like as much as I want to I couldn't ship them, and then you threw this wonderful fic at everyone, and it's just perfect. That paragraph you have about how Sehun isn't pushing Lu Han away, it just encapsulates so many things about growing up and finding yourself and trying to navigate boundaries, and it's perfect for this fic where there are so many boundaries Sehun doesn't even realize he's trying to navigate. The way you throw in little curve balls, like how I thought the climax would be Sehun learning about Lu Han and Kris, but instead it's about Sehun and implied!Kai,

oh…my god. I'm sort of (and by sort of I mean very) stunned that you took the time to read my fic! and that you liked it ;; I love your writing and everything that I've read of yours. so first and foremost, thank you for reading this! I'm so glad you enjoyed it ;w;

this is also one of the best comments I think I've ever received? I'm still in mild shock so I'm sorry if I seem like I've just been pushed over or something--this is a good thing! despite the way I described that. I'm also very pleased that you liked the dynamics here because as much as I love writing ot3s and complex relationships I'm never quite sure if the way I portray they comes out well. thank you! thank you soooo much for this wonderful feedback just for taking the time to read this at all. ♥

ahhh i love fanfic how could i not take time to read it, and I love ot3s and complex threesomes too, it's something I think I imprinted on when I first started writing fanfic, haha, and haven't been able to shake. This isn't a threesome I'd ever considered and you made it seem so effortless that I was like OH THIS IS OBVIOUS but at the same time it's... not? And the more I think about it the more interesting it becomes with their age dynamics (how Kris is not the oldest and yet feels like the oldest, how Lu Han is the oldest but feels like the one coming apart, how Sehun is the youngest and that really means something here). I really love it when ot3s are more varied than just romantic relationships, and I just feel like Lu Han and Kris and Sehun in this fic have so many layers and I just want to pick them all apart

I love discovering different sides of these sorts of complex relationships, which is why I went for multiple angles although they were all from the same three viewpoints ;; I'm seriously so glad that you liked the way the dynamics came out in this piece! I was actually pretty worried as I was writing it haha. I also ship anything so when it comes to ot3/4/etcs I get excited. also I am really flattered that you enjoyed his even though you aren't a Se/Lu shipper! I feel like this is a lovely compliment so thank you ;A;

also noooo omg don't apologize! I absolutely love your comment! and I love introducing people to new feelings regardless of the pairing haha~ THANK YOU AGAIN ❤

blubbering ;_; i'm not even sure how to comment on this but I've had it bookmarked for ages and I've finally read it and I'm going to slink off and shank myself for NOT READING THIS EARLIER. Ugh this was just. Ugh just. All my feelings are swarming and the way you write is just so breathtaking?! (for the lack of a word ;; ) odg I so so so so immensely enjoyed this and THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING sobs.

[emberberry]

DON'T SHANK YOURSELF I'm just happy that you read this at all, really ;w; Thank you so much for reading! <3

[airplanewishes]

Oh wow this is really lovely. I love how you described their relationships that seems simple, but at a closer look, there are so many more facets to it. And the theme of family, of leaving them behind of being left behind and of having a new family... I really liked that. Ah there are many things I like about things, but I'm not in the best condition to write them all out right now. Just that, I really loved this. :)

[emberberry]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it <3

[playfulmelodies]

wow um I'm not good at leaving comments so excuse this mess of words but oMG I just this is so beautiful and I wish I could leave a beautiful comment to complement this but I can't so I'll just curl up in my corner awkwardly and cry because THIS IS BEAUTIFUL AND PERFECT AND OMG I JUST sehun and lu han and kris are all so precious and ;_____________; I loved this sososososo much <3<3<3<3<3

[emberberry]

I'm very thankful that you left a comment at all! It's never required of course but thank you for taking the time, this is a lovely one <3 Thank you for reading this!

This is one of those fics I end up reading on a cold, gloomy morning and it's just the perfect weather for everything. LOL
Anyway, I feel the underlying sense of sadness even though they're genuinely happy but I also like how everything is resolved in the end.
SOOOOOOB. I wanted to stop reading because it was hurting my chest, too much conflict, but it just kept me hooked and wanting to finish it until the end.
jashdkljhasjdahskljdhasjkh It's like the perfect OT3 I wanted to see people write and not just some random "Oh hey, I'm in love with you and you're in love with him. Let's just casually agree with living together and be a threesome." kind of thing. This story develops, unfolds and every section of it shows each of the characters evolve in such a way that they're actually relatable... as if it happened in real life. *flails because this is too much*

I love it. <3
