Awww, post-disbandment!aus always make me a bit anxious (for a few reasons), and this one kind of encapsulates it. I know it's a creation of somebody else's imagination, but I felt a punch to the gut seeing Jackson drifting apart from the rest of the group and feeling lonely when he realises he's the only one :'(

I think you did really well with Jackson's character, from his fashion to putting his own foot in his mouth to his reaction to Youngjae inadvertently putting his foot in his mouth. I also liked the callback to that moment in real got7 and Jackson's determination to make them work. That last line :')

you've got this great, off-beat humor that I love *__* all your 2030 trend forecasts are sdlgjs spot-on in an awful way lmao, the last 2 members of exo-m, jonghyun on steroids, U-G0T-7KISS(ES) HAHAHA, peaking at 24 on the philippines charts omg. and it makes the characters' sincerity even more poignant. this line/paragraph was lovely. Maybe he hasn't matured as much as he's always given himself credit for. He's put his own bruised ego above Jinyoung's happiness. post-disbandment fic feels Too Soon rn but I rly liked this!

this was a bit depressing to read lol i don't want to think about got7 disbanding already oh man... but the whole thing made my heart ache in a good way. from jackson's loneliness and insecurities (“How do you manage to live in Low Self-Esteem City but still act like the solar system revolves around planet Jackson? It's like you've brought me out here to massage your inexplicable ego." this is spot on jackson to me) to all the regrets between jackson and youngjae. the ending was very satisfying too, youngjae's confession and their conversation at the end is so desperate and heartfelt it kills me ;_;. i enjoyed this a lot!

ohmygod as soon as i read jackson/youngjae when i was checking the postings i ran to read this story and i was as good and amazing as i imagined it to be, it made my heart ache some time when i was reading but the funny bits made it up for it quite efficiently!!!! jackson was great and all the things that happened that were mentioned were also great (and very funny)!!!!! youngjae made me squeal (not loudly bcz my dad was in the room while i was reading), everything was so cute too ;^;

thanks for the fic anon!!!!!! it was very very great ;U;♥

i am crying. i am crying. oh my God, let me have a moment first before i properly comment on this absolute perfection.

anon, dear anon, i am so glad you chose this prompt and although i didn't really specify which of my list of pairings i wanted for this particular prompt, i am very, very happy that you chose jackjae. my brain!! is just!! very!! muddled up right now!! i'll try my best to give a coherent comment.

when i wrote up this prompt i imagined things to be on youngjae's perspective (but i'm so glad you did the opposite!) and just, it's so so much better than what i'd expected. from your characterisation's to everyone's jobs/roles after the disbandment, i just felt like everything fit, y'know?

i loved how you incorporated everything from xander to exo to jonghyun being on steroids lmao and the whole thing was really sweet but also bitter at the same time AND I WAS SURE THAT YOU WERE GOING TO MAKE THE ENDING SAD WHEN YOUNGJAE AND JACKSON LET EACH OTHER GO AND I HAD A MENTAL BATTLE WITH MYSELF LIKE "SHOULD I CONTINUE? I'M GOING

(apparently i went over the word limit for comments whoops)

and the ending was just perfect.

I FEEL LIKE HALF OF MY COMMENT ARE DRUNKEN SLURS BUT ILU THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS IT MADE ME REALLY REALLY HAPPY ♥♥♥

(also, if we aren't friends already let's be friends once the reveals come out bc i'd really like to thank you directly and tell you more about how much i loved this and just, basically, flail in your face ;3; ♥♥♥)
