sb strangers to friends to lovers meet cute in nyc
anything you will write about solboo is going to be my new favorite thing to read but if there is a possibility to add absolutely down bad, devastatingly yearning, foolishly in love vernon toward boo seungkwan, i, personally, will be forever grateful for you. my life will instantly become much better
What would you do if you saw Seventeen out and about (like today, perhaps haha). I’ve thought about this myself and I definitely wouldn’t take a picture or film them or anything, but I don’t know if I’d actually try to say hi or not
oh probably nothing!! i am not the type to go up to anyone let alone a famous person but if there was an instance that made sense or it was weird not for me to say anything like maybe id say thank you? but i definitely wouldn’t film or ask for a picture that’s not rly in line w my values or like. my goals of being a fan. so long as i’m carat they’ll know that i’m grateful for them even without me saying it aloud
everything you write is so beautifully complex and wonderfully expressed. it’s truly a gift to be able to read your works… thank you.
tbh when i started reading your pass the josh fic while it was still anon i was like 'wow. this has yves written all over it.' which is a weird thing to think since i don't know you i'm just an avid jogak reader and supporter!! and your characters are very complicated and human but also they're full of love and have such a bright outlook on life which is a thing so palpable in all of your fics. so yeah thank you for the beautiful junshua meal, i'm gonna go feast on the 2nd chap now :))
hi again my dear author! ᵕ̈
congratulations on pass the josh fic!! it’s honestly so cool and so joyful to see you being excited about it and proud (as u should). in honour of 500 to ttt i have a small question: was it scary to post your first fic? like, did u alr know some ppl or it was just a brainrot (lovingly) that you needed to share? did you hope to reach ppl, or? i’m just curious of how it went so i thought of asking you abt it. have a nice day as always! 💖
hey!!! thanks so much for your kind message!! i’ve been in different fandoms for a long time so it wasn’t my first rodeo as a carat coming into a new fandom knowing no one. i had lurked for like 2? years and followed a lot of carat ppl on priv including fic writers i liked and eventually t3 was totally born out of an itch i needed to scratch. i started tweeting about it and basically the story goes that ver had followed me despite me knowing no one and having like 10 followers. she just kindly replied to a tweet of mind and encouraged me to share even tho i only had 6/9 chapters done. and that was that! i had no carat friends and it was a brand new ao3 acc!!! i was so happy to share and was so grateful for the encouragement but in the end i started writing bc i had an idea that wouldn’t leave me and i was working in a restaurant at the time and felt super inspired. i like to think i would’ve posted anyway but i honestly think if it wasn’t for ver the fic would absolutely not be what it ended up as today. this was a long wordy answer sorry!!! thanks for asking i hope you had a nice day too!
i have a feeling that i’ve guessed your ptj !! i think it’s the junshua neighbours one 👀 (please ignore this if i am wrong i will be So Embarrassed)
good evening (or any other time of the day really) to you, yves !! :> i hope you’re doing well. uhhh i have a question, forgive me for being curious, are you now working in europe? (congratulations on succeeding to defend ur idea btw 🫶). if yes, the second q is — was it hard to find a job? if no pls ignore the second q. but anw hope u will have an easy week and a lot of inspirations and good mood !!
hi!! don’t worry your questions are welcome! at the moment, i’m working in the states! i was working in the UK after i graduated but ultimately decided to leave after a few months for a variety of reasons. that job was not too hard to get bc i had been an intern before but as for my current position, to be frank: yes!!! even with a masters and a good resume the job search was hard and long. i’m rooting for everyone searching rn. i’m so grateful for my curent opportunity. and thank you for the well wishes about my week, i hope you have a good week too
hi again! ᵕ̈
thank you so much for your recommendations !! honestly, if retrospring didn’t have limit of 52x characters i would alr write down a poetry abt your writing bc i’ve been in such a reading slump for a while but then i stumbled upon your stories, and i felt like the life was coming back to me and the excitement from reading just returned, like the spark is back here, so yeah!!!! thank you so so much 🥺 i will be looking forward to everything u write
you’re so so kind!!! i know comments and messages like these take time to leave and write up so i wanted to thank you again for choosing to deliver your thoughts to me. i hope the joy of reading stays with you for a long time and that you find other works that tend to that spark to. sending you love! i’ll try to write a lot!!
hi yves! ᵕ̈
you’re honestly so cool, i hope you enjoy your time, study / job if you’re having one rn (if i noticed it right you’re getting masters), and i just wanted to express how happy your fics make me so thank you so much for writing and having such a captivating voice of an author. i also saw u recommending books !! so a lil question — what would u recommend rn as your top five or top ten read books u would convince someone to read? 🤲🏻
hello anon!! thank you so much for your super kind message! i actually finished up my masters last year and graduated in january but it was such a gift to further my education. now i’m working but it’s a job where i’m still learning a lot so i’m happy.
thanks so much for your kindness about my writing too! i’m so happy you like my work!!
as far as books go, i’ve read so much and am always trying to read more so it’s hard to recommend top ten, but here are some in no particular order. keep in mind it’s not an exhaustive list, i’m definitely leaving some out, but i tried to choose many genres
oh im sorry for the confusion, i think i used the wrong word (forgive me english is not my first language) what i actually mean by "exclusive" is them being in a relationship, like why are they in a situationship for a long time instead of relationship.
oh no worries! i just didn’t want to misunderstand your question. but tbh, i would hope that the answer comes across in the story! they both had their reasons for holding back commitment, whether it was feeling emotionally available for love and relationship, being vulnerable, dealing with the fact that their lives are often very different, and getting comfortable with what being in a relationship implies. i rly hoped that those emotions and reasons were clear in the narrative so i’m sorry if it’s not! but the reasons are basically the whole plot of the story 😮💨😅😭
about solbu relationship in t3, why their relationship was not exclusive?
i hope this won't sound like a request, but please consider writing childhood friends to lovers solboo too 🥺 your writing is so heartwarming and i cant help but imagine how are you gonna write them growing up? 👉👈
