oh fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck this hurt
fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuk
i wasn’t expecting to cry

but fuck, yes
wow this was amazing and raw and beautiful ;;;;;;

tao’s pain and longing was so fucking palpable in this and ahhh the way you injected so much emotion in this prose from memories of joonmyun’s boring hair scent to the rawness in his voice as he tells the mirrored joonmyun that he promise to love only him, fuck

your prose in general though, like fuck, Zitao releases his hold on the glass and gravity claims it quickly, slams it against the cold, marble floors, breaking it into a thousand bits; precisely like Zitao's heart in his ribcage. It's Zitao who's on the floor, unamendable, broken.

and

Something cool curls around Zitao's broken heart, stinging but still caring. Unable to mend it, but still protecting, loving. Gathering the small shards of Zitao's heart so they won't spread further.left me fucking gasping

i'm kind of just, o<-< right now
bc an angsty sutao from this exchange that DID end sadly oh god

i knew when junmyeon reappeared it was too hopeful of me to think that things were actually ok sob :( but gosh !!! you wrote in the mama au into the fic so so so well i love how you created the universe!!! its really really wonderful and i think so much about it, i love mama aus *-*

and also i know that sutao/zitao is the main focus but gosh your minseok and yixing are perfect as well??? i especially love your minseok and how you've written him bc it's rlly him!!! the ~coldness~ through his powers but yet his calming qualities and warmth and how he takes care of zitao and all of them it's just so so so good!!!

and i'm still so heartbroken, if i ever need a sad fic to read, i'm coming back to this fic <3

okay wow this was a rollercoaster of emotions. at first I thought this will end tragic...
then it went to "OH THANK GOD A HAPPY END" to the sad, emotional end.
I enjoyed the ride though. The way you described Junmyeon was so lovely and great.
I felt all warm and fuzzy during his parts <3

the mama world you built in only a few sentences was great too!
overall, great story! thank you so much for writing it <3
