[comebackmods]

Title: Paper Heart
Rating: PG-13
Pairing:Woohyun/Sungkyu
Length: 5052 words

I love this so, so much. I love their voices when they're speaking to each other in the letters, I love how realistic this scenario is and how much you've added in little details about Woohyun's solo career or Sunggyu's military life to highlight it. Sunggyu's voice is awesome. Wonderfully pissy in places ;) Can't wait to see who you are after reveals!

[kaiosea]

Thank you!! I'm glad Sunggyu's voice sounded appropriately pissy to you. I was a little nervous since I haven't written Woogyu before. I really appreciate your comment :)

[slashedsilver]

I really loved it though you say you haven't written Woogyu before! :D I couldn't tell! Who do you usually write?

[kaiosea]

I don't think I've ever written the same pairing twice in two fics now that I think of it, but the closest to usual that I have is my long multi-chapter hoyeol fic! (Yes, hoya/sungyeol... it's so rare) Everything I've written is on *cough* ao3 if you are interested! (and thank you again :P)

[kalopsia]

SCREEAAAAAAAMS.

okay, where to begin. thank you sooooooo much my dear santa <3 this fic is so lovely, and so so sweet, i don't even know where to start ;;

i remember writing my prompts and thinking i was being a bit overkill with the things i wanted in my fic, but you literally ticked all the boxes in terms of what i love in fic -- and i'm pretty sure most of those i didn't write down in my request post. for one, i absolutely adore how firmly set in reality this is? i'm all over the fact that woohyun faced an immense amount of shit for not going into active duty, and that netizens/media are causing him to trend because of it. that's so real, and it adds a really nice depth to this fic and makes it easier for me to tinhat in regards to this happening in rl b/w woogyu, heh. i also LOVE that you made him sing sappy ballads as a solo singer, because lmao that's so woohyun (baby pls change up your setlist

[kaiosea]

I'm soo happy to de-anon now so I can say thanks for such an amazing comment! Where do I even start? First of all I'm glad that the fic worked for you--I liked that your prompts were pretty specific but also gave a lot of room to play with the characters and setups so I found it easier to write :D I was honestly really excited to write for either prompt and I did a lot of thinking back and forth on them and eventually some research to try and make it as "canon" as possible

[kalopsia]

THIS IS KINDA IRRELEVANT, but i remember when i was checking iss for fics, there was a hoyeol fic posted and bcos our usernames are so similar i thought it was for me and then i also saw a woogyu fic for me and i was like "WOW OMG DID MY SANTA WRITE ME TWO FANFICS????" lmao. ty for requesting hoyeol for iss u___u

omg. pls hop on aboard the woogyu train. i feel honoured that this is your woogyu fic debut :') i hope it does inspire you to write more woogyu in the future. honestly thought i never would have guessed because your woogyu is pretty on point to how i imagine them?? as i said i'm usually like HMMMM about how woogyu seems to be written in fandom because they leave what i find to be the good stuff out, but honestly this was just perfect. AND HAHA YES I LOVED THE ANGST AND PINING, it's so delicious <333 honestly i'm so lucky to have this fic (and other people have told me i'm a lucky recipient too ;P

[kaiosea]

Our usernames really are similar! and thank you for the continued praise :) Yeah, i don't read much woogyu in general since i also find it hard to read it if it doesn't portray them the way I want to see it... i "not-ship" it meaning i want to read them being in a relationship and it not working out in the end due to them being the people they are, as it happens sometimes. if you know of fics that fit that... i am always ready for recs and am not familiar with most woogyu fics :D

UMM, well if you also want to read 23k+ of a hoyeol high school au, i actually am writing a really long one where they are ballet dancers (and rivals). this is partially why when i saw your username and your prompts i was like o_O did they know... i couldn't imagine anything more coincidental than me being prompted to write more hoyeol high school au, and i will gladly share what i have written! i'm on tumblr and twitter as the same username if you use those and want to chat about hoyeol/woogyu/anything. rarepairs are my shipping life, the other pairing

[exclusivite]

omg i absolutely loved this. their voices were really spot-on and i'm always a sucker for canon fic ;~~;

[kaiosea]

thanks so much!! I'm realllly happy you thought their voices were in-character and I had a lot of fun writing it :)

Basically waited for reveals to say that I'm going to have to stalk you a bit because I like your writing so much. This totally reignited (?) my love for Sungkyu/Woohyun, BLESS YOU. I might have to read it a maybe a million times more.

[kaiosea]

THANK YOU! Such nice compliments, I am internet blushing. I think I ignited my own love for Woogyu in writing this too, haha. I put writing mostly on ao3 since I'm more sporadically on LJ so if you have trouble stalking me let me know and I can help :P

[rubyls]

this was DELIGHTFUL, I'm so pleased and satisfied after this, as if I ate a grand expensive meal for an entire hour without stopping. Also without the subsequent bloating. I loved your sunggyu, your woohyun and your woogyu - I think you stay so true to character and dynamics throughout and you detail that push and pull over the very real, very raw support/love they have mesmerizingly.

I really, really enjoyed this!!! it was a treat to read :3

[kaiosea]

Thank you for commenting! Eating without bloating, that's the dream :P I worked a lot on puzzling out the dynamics I wanted these two stubborn boys to have throughout the fic, so I am feeling so happy that you enjoyed it and found it in character and realistic :D
