I REALLY AM GOING TO CLIFF YOU OFF A MOUTAIN

HEART BREAKING INTO A MILLION PIECES

I'm actually a very honest person, Lu Han had once told Yixing, as he gathers up his mahjong winnings. It's just that other people find me hard to read.

Oh my god, just, this entire set-up - Yixing learning about Wu Fan through Lu Han, us looking at Lu Han through Yixing's eyes, all of the parallel conversations and even moreso all the words unsaid. TEARS. FORGET THE SEVEN DAYS SELUKAI AU; I need ALL THE LAYHAN, ALL OF IT.

it's so hard setting up in the mood for love aus, sob but HONESTLY CHINA LINE KIND OF MAKES IT WORK? Especially because that would explain why Krishan would be in China in the first place -- Kris has always traveled! Always wanted to live in Hong Kong!! Can speak Cantonese!!! And Lu Han just sort of lets himself be dragged along~

Honestly I really wish I could recast the Seven Days AU because Luhan would really be the perfect boyfriend for seven weeks but then all the girls dump him because he's nothing like what they thought he'd be like. It's just problematic because NO ONE ELSE IN THE CHINA OT3 WOULD ASK HIM OUT ON A WHIM especially because I always think of Layhan as a BFF ship, even in AUs. ~FOREVER LAYHAN NEEDS THAT CAN'T BE FULFILLED~~~~~

do you think luhan would go with yixing if yixing asked him to run away with him TT_______TT more importantly will you write me all the fic in the world where they're holed up in a hotel room together eating sticky rice and writing wuxia novels TT___________TT

SOB

SOB WHY ISN'T THIS LONGER, WHY AREN'T ALL YOUR FICS WKW AUS, THAT COULD BE YOUR CONCEPT, WONG KAR-WINDOWRIGHT--IT IS YOUR CONCEPT the very summary slays me fu fu fu it's cruel that you can leave us w/ just this and break our hearts BC WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENS

dead forever at @ yixing's fav directors having filmed there

But worse, Yixing thinks. After all, he has nothing, not even attraction, to fall back on.
ugh i love this, i love how awkward they are, the little details of the settings, the bits of that are SO yixing (what are you afraid of?) and so luhan T___T ROLLS AROUND IN YOUR WRITING FOREVER, SIGH IT'S ALWAYS SO BEAUTIFUL *___*

ACTUALLY... I THINK.... THIS SENTENCE ACTUALLY JUST SUMS UP LUHAN, PERIOD.

Says, his voice soft and tender, "Just like you."
GOD ALL MY LAYHAN FEELINGS, OH YIXING ALL MY TEARS

I WANT TO WRITE YOU ALL THE WKW AUS IN THE WORLD but they are not very easy universes for the EXO characters, sob, because they're all such derps and who could possibly be Tony Leung but Kris or Yixing and at the end of the day no one is Maggie?!?!?! IMAGINE IN YOUR HEAD THAT LUHAN RUNS AWAY WITH YIXING AND THEY JUST, IDK, TRAVEL THAILAND AND VIETNAM AND KOREA TOGETHER.

I feel like I have set up my ~TENDER LAYHAN~ feels to be too ~tender~ and ~delicate~ and now I can't get over an image of Yixing being the classic perfect starter boyfriend that everyone likes but no one settles down with. Also after this many months I.... still can't get a handle on Lu Han, sob. Maybe that's why all of my stories are the same: people staring at Lu Han and thinking about how mysterious he is and how they never know what the fuck he is thinking.

MAKNAE WHEN WILL YOU WRITE US ALL THE FIC IN THE WORLD>

I came to your journal because I wanted to reread your Hunger Games AU (which I just realized I have yet to comment on, oops!) but then I saw the words 'in the mood for love au' (and the punny title! heh) and had to click!!! Ugh I adore this movie (and almost all of WKW's works, honestly, minus one or two misses) so much and I hope you consider expanding this because I really think you could do an amazing job with this, I love what you have so far!! And the fact that it's LayHan makes it even better, they're my #1 ;_;

Your attention to detail is exquisite, and your writing is so visually powerful. I love how you described their cab ride, Yixing's memories, Lu Han's actions/facial expressions during their dinner. I love how you've written Yixing here, how unsure he is in his dealings with Lu Han, how much he seems to second-guess everyone and everything, and your Lu Han is perfect too, mysterious and kind of ... delicate without being fragile?

OH MAN THIS COMMENT IS THE BEST thank you!! I'm so glad there are fellow WKW fans in this fandom because I totally adore him. I recently ordered a boxset of his works and have been steadily plowing through them again, they're often better upon frequent revisiting, but of course that's what a fanatic would say, haha ( ... )

you love in the mood for love? YOU LOVE IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE!!!

CAN I JUST LIKE HUG YOU? i love the attire, the music, and YUMEJI'S THEME. GOSH, GOSH, GOSH, GOSH, GOSH. *sorry*

Why? WHY ARE YOU NOT WRITING MORE ON THIS AU? I THINK YOU CAPTURED THE ESSENCE WELL!!

You know, I rarely read fics that are not the ships that I am alright with (no offense) but seeing 2046 and in the mood for love au makes me want to read it...

and I'm glad I did. I love the ordering part. For me, it tells a lot about the relationship between our two leads, and the hidden guilt on Yixing's part. And the taxi scene, in which Luhan is almost reluctant to respond to Yixing's advances, making him rather ambiguous about this hidden affair.

This is WKW Exo style!

THERE'S NOTHING TO BE SORRY ABOUT. I adore In the Mood for Love; it's probably my favorite movie? I actually just bought the Criterion release of it and I AM SO EXCITED, you have no idea.

I think it's difficult for me to write in this AU because there's really nothing more I could add to the story! I don't really like writing specific AUs where nothing changes, i.e. the ending would progress much as the movie does (they start writing wuxia novels! they spend time in a hotel room! yixing asks lu han to run away with him! lu han doesn't! yixing goes to angkor wat!). especially not when the source material already is so wonderful!

but! Thank you so much for reading and commenting even when the story was so meager. u___u
