My second entry for kpop_olymfics, a pinchhit for FT Island's "Raining." The fic was partially inspired by ROKN submarine sinking and though it's a (hopefully) far-fetched future, I tried to make it as believable as possible, so warnings for some graphic violence

This so sad but with a promising ending and oh my gooood!!! Way to tug at my heartstrings!! I'm a sucker for army!fics even when they tear me apart inside and this was just beautiful ♥

this is so gritty and real, but somehow beautiful. i love the understated way you write and it makes the heartbreaking moments even more powerful.

i really liked how subtly you wrote homin’s relationship but managed to convey their longing, their frustration at how the war is keeping them apart.

It’s a world where he’s still on top, even after the legal drama, three and two but still together, still strong; where, in the end, all roads still lead to Changmin.

Yunho remembers a time when Changmin wouldn’t be caught dead in a buzz-cut, and he thought wrestling with Jaejoong was serious business, and they’d all thought they knew what exhaustion meant.

Yunho can see the faint lines of an ‘I love you’, but they’ve been erased… Yunho won’t forget that small moment, that quiet feeling of warmth.

thanks for sharing ♥

i am speechless.
it is amazing.
i cant stop thinking about it.
its one of those moments where an image stitches together when you keep reading and you keep scrolling down the page until you realise: thats it. no more

and its beautiful. so beautiful. It was how everything was written up together and how it created a image in my head so clearly i was in that world.
thats amazing.

thank you ♥

it's been a (long) while since i've read
a good fic, a really good fic :)

will be stalking your fic list and probably
spam your email, apologies ♥

feeling much like this:
Your absence has gone through me
Like thread through a needle.
Everything I do is stitched with its color.
