I have no idea what to say to you, apart from how this is everything I possibly want right now and ever. This is such a difficult concept to execute, and I AM SO HAPPY YOU PULLED THROUGH IT, because the set-up is perfect and your language is so, so beautiful. The Lu Han segment is probably my favorite (even though everything in this fic makes me want to cry), just in the way you wrote his confrontation with Yixing on the springboard, how he's good at visualization, his fear of heights, the differences in distance between him and Yixing/them and the water. All of your swimming metaphors are incredible. I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU DO IT. (I’m serious, how do you do it.)

This is the Exo/Olympics crossover of my dreams, and I still can't believe that you wrote it for us and it's so good and so heartbreaking and you even threw in all the Chinese athletes, just, ahhhh. ALL OF MY DELICATE CHINA FEELINGS, LET ME DROWN IN THEM.

one of you is yuan, the other is fen - this will never not sucker punch me in the best way possible, because LAYHAN REALLY

Oh, this was gorgeous *____________* ♥♥

Your writing is so beautiful, there are all these wonderful metaphors, how Yixing and Luhan work together, how Yixing and Kris work together (and then Luhan and Kris, of course), and I am so fascinated. I had so much fun reading this and even though I don't really know a lot about synchro diving, you explained everything so well that I never felt like anything was unclear.

The LayHan, though, omg. I really hope you write more of them (with Kris, too? :D), because your characterization fits so well. *____*

Personally, I'm not so much into POV shifts, but at the same time it was interesting to get all these feelings that wouldn't be clear if it was just Yixing telling a story. Especially at the end: I loved that you showed how LayHan help Kris deal with things. ♥

Wonderful fic (and it makes me so sad that I missed all the diving at the Olympics this year ;_____;)
