Consider this an exchange across sub-populations of the fandom! There are brilliant writers in every language and so I thought I'd share a piece of it. (Over the years, I've been fortunate enough to pick up some non-English languages. Not wholly, but sufficient for me to dare to venture out.)

ohmigosh i'm supposed to be studying for two exams and writing a term paper but knowing you and your tastes and your aesthetic i just had to read this and hnnngh it was gorgeous ;w; ♥ /back to work

Hi ♥

I know how you feel; I'm in the middle of my own exam period and life is hectic as hell. But being the chronic procrastinator that I am, I chose to write this out the night before one of my exams instead of sleeping (or better yet, studying). Pretty though, isn't it? So it's all worth it in the end. :3

Good luck with school and stuff~

[ridiculouso_o]

this was SO pretty asdhjkashf;awer' :')

[sansunparapluie]

Thank youu ♥ (on behalf of both of us)

this was so beautiful ;^;

(and i couldn't help but read the top comments~ i'm in the same boat XD)

/hugs

Thank you. :') Are you in university? And it's funny. Whenever I'm supposed to be studying for exams, I feel a disproportionately greater urge to write/read other things. So then I end up spending at least half the time that I'm supposed to be studying doing something else instead. =__= It gets stressful that way and apparently stress is bad for your memory...

[volatileflame]

worse~ grad school -_-;
and i totally know what you mean

[sansunparapluie]

O: What do you study?
Argh I haven't gotten anything done today. ;~;

[sansunparapluie]

:'D

This is lovely. The ending. THE ENDING!
Would Jinki have blossomed without the challenge of being Onew? Would he just be another smart kid majoring in business at a university, singing in the choir?
Seeing Taemin as the possessive protector was interesting.

Thanks

I get what you're saying, because I'm working on a fic (I don't usually do AU) in which it's several SHINee members...themselves, and together, but not part of SHINee. What would be realistic had they followed a "normal" trajectory from high school, considering what we know of their abilities/likes. What would they choose to do, be happy to do, without ever having encountered the fame?

[sansunparapluie]

Haha, seems like we're opposites in that sense then; I rarely do anything that's not AU. xD; But I read both AU and non-AU, and some fics from the latter category blur the line between fiction and reality for me while I'm reading. So I become all ;~;

Yeah, I wonder how different their lives would be if they'd each followed a 'normal' route. Their friendships make me all warm and fuzzy inside (lawl) so it's a little sad to think that if left entirely to their own devices (without the whole SM thing and without AU setup) they might not have met at all. So thank goodness for a fanfic author's omnipotence! (in putting them together, I mean)
