hey! i just reread your 25 lives gyubrik au and i have to say - it was just as touching as the first time i read it months ago. idk why but everytime i read back to that fic or the 25 lives poem itself i always get really emotional and close enough to want to cry, but no actual tears come out. i think the whole concept of soulmateism and past lives in 25 lives was really beautiful and the way you've interpreted it and wrote about it was just so stunning and so perfect. gyubrik really really fit this!!! reflective, mildly melancholic, but oddly comforting, all in one. i feel like if the world was going to end soon, this would be one of my last reads before i go. it just seems like something beautiful and comforting to hold onto even as the light goes out completely. you're an amazing writer, and i can't wait to read more of what you write! <3
"close enough to want to cry, but no actual tears come out" -- i get that feeling; i love it when that happens!!!! ifl because the human lifespan is so short & replete with the many regrets we have but that we can never assuage, the concept of past lives is alluring as we get multiple chances, multiple do-overs, multiple happier endings. with soulmateism we get endless, unwavering, unconditional love -- the purest kind of love as is imo. so yes the concept embedded in 25 lives is understandably appealing and touching!!!!!
"reflective, mildy melancholic, but oddly comforting" -- you put it really well!! ifl this doesn't just apply to my 25 lives fic, but to most of my fics in general. i like stories when they're blue!!!
"i feel like if the world was going to end soon, this would be one of my last reads before i go" -- thank you????!!!????? (...and umm not to self promote but i do have a fic that is quite similar in premise HAHA)
"it just seems like something beautiful and comforting to hold onto even as the light goes out completely" -- ily. like ily. really.
thank you for rereading my fic!!!! and thank you for this also! i'll be writing more soon once i'm done with all the tedium in my life ♡
