I am so happy to hear you hope to update pieces of us on the floor!! It was my favourite fic I read last year (literally my roman empire lol). I’ve been hoping for an update, but even if you’re unable to it still holds a special place in my heart ❤️
delighted to inform you we have agreed upon a posting/update ""schedule"" !!! pls anticipate ♡
happy new year!!! just watched saltburn so all my brain worms are about that! depravity and obsession and also somewhere in there the faint impression of love but not quite!
oohh fabulous!! i haven't seen it yet but i really do love the lengths people go to to have what others have and be what others are. a cruelty (on the part of the universe? the object?) that there is always going to be distance between what you have and what you want. it reminds me of the worms wren @infrequency has re: yellowjackets, the helpless longing of "you only want what i have because you want to be me" (bastardized quote, obv) -- it has teeth. delicious!!!!! i love it!!!!!
do /you/ have any primers u have come across??
sadly i do not (for ships at least, as opposed to groups as a whole). i'm so used to hunting and gathering and cooking my own food that i've inadvertently ended up making threads that serve as compilations or bases for ship dynamics or promoting that ship! wonshua certainly comes to mind.
good resources i use this way are pairing-focused update or archive accounts or "thinker" accounts, but we do need to be wary of these being rpf unfriendly. however, as an archive they are really useful as a jumping-off point to understanding the ways in which people love and interact with each other! it can be really fascinating to compare the public persona (stages, mvs, etc.) to the "private" persona (vlog content, social media, etc.) -- both are constructed and interpreted but they are enlightening!!!!
open call for primers and manifestos though!!!!!!!!!! 🛎️
i’m doing a reread of ‘The Night is Short and You’re Not a Given’ and wow. somehow i forgot how deep this has its claws in me on my first read thru but it is quite literally incredible!! i feel so much what hansol is feeling in the beginning w the kind of peaceful purposeless-ness. the way you write them makes me want to eat handfuls of dirt !! i am so in love with the vibe they have together it’s sickeningly sweet !!! ok, sorry i just had to come yell at you since my reread has almost made me cry at work 3 times !! have a good day and thank you sm for writing and sharing :)
thank you so so much!!!!!! i modeled a lot of what hansol is going through after me when i was in college -- i felt lucky to have the world in front of me but felt like i was wasting time since i had no "direction" to push all that momentum into. i just felt like that vibe matched minghao's desire to be in charge of his own life, including any consequences, really well. plus he's a little bit my muse too, obviously. thank you so much for your thoughts and lovely message 🥹 they mean so much to me ♡
how about f1 racer wonshua fic?
HOW ABOUT IT. how about friends on the field whose relationship gets markedly worse when they become teammates. who succumb to external pressures to compete and prove themselves and be the best and run everyone else out of bounds and act selfishly, selfishly, selfishly--so selfish that they can't bear if anyone else even looks at them. that only they understand what it's like to live like this (despite 18 other people knowing what it's like,) so they can't be vulnerable with anyone but they can't be vulnerable with each other but they can't be vulnerable with themselves. and everything is repressed and they love and trust each other so much (who keeps promises better than the person trying to keep you down) so they just don't know how much of it all is their decision. they want everything. they don't want anything. they need each other. if i loved you less i'd be able to talk about it more. love will tear us apart dot mp3
Hello, ive been reading some of your fics and i came from ao3.. and although it has not been revealed.. i somehow feel that the wonhao fic titled ‘from the start’ is soooo pixiepower coded😭😭 i might be wrong and it'd be embarassing for my part.

On today’s fansign hao was wearing : 1. Wedding veil , 2. Black veil AND while its pretty and looked amazing i feel like it will spark inspiration for authors🫢
omg i only saw the wedding veil one.. ochito my corpse bride i love you darling.. you are so right about that i love making minghao get married maybe i curse him soon ♡
Hi😭 i hope you know that wonhao went live earlier.. well not particularly wonhao, it was hao but wonu stopped by
I SAW SOME CLIPS OF MINGHAO BUT NOT THE WONWOO PARTS……. oh my word… i cannot wait to see….
Hello!! How have you been?? Is there any project that youre working on?? How has life been going?? Tell me anything really jskdkjs
hi!!!! thanks for checking in i was so excited to see a message in my inbox 🥹
writing-wise i have actually been getting back in the swing of things after what feels like a long time away! i have 2 fest fics getting revealed soon and hopefully 2-3 more by the end of the year, most of which are longtime wips that i’m eager to finally see finished, as well as my coauthored wonhao with @wizardshinwon. i’m hoping to make good on some of the 2022 goals i had that life so rudely interrupted, including writing new genres and new groups/fandoms! i hope you can eagerly anticipate — feel free to let me know of anything you might like to see from me soon!! ♡
not the same anon but is there any possibility of that wonhao secret agent/IT guy au to be written(ㅠ_ㅠ) im already in love with the prompt.. also your galaxy brain oh my god..
okay because i really did love that prompt a lot dsfhsj just the image of them learning to be a couple and cohabitate with all the trappings (only one bed, sharing meals, Government Assigned Quality Time) along with the stakes of something very real and serious happening meaning that the amount that they have come to love each other actually is a big problem when someone gets threatened and needs rescue...... i want to eat it in one bite. wonwoo learning about minghao's hobbies as a husband aka minghao teaching him self-defense/weapons/techniques which is also sexually charged and then they have to share a bed. and then it comes in handy in the 11th hour when they save each other. im gone
cross-ships!kpop
svt!mg × nct!dy
nct!jhn × svt!jhs
bts!jk × svt!t8
astr!enw × svt!sk
U can pic whatever but these and college/frat au heheheh
omg these crossover ships are so much fun and i have written far more based on far less let's do this.
mingyuxdoyoung is so fascinating because i feel like they both have petty streaks and earnest streaks depending on who they're with, and in college that might manifest in having the same idea for a project but not knowing until the prof asks them to present together because of their passion for it, which prickles them a little bit because they would each want to be the best and smartest in the area until they spend time together and realize that their similarities are a strength and maybe even attractive...
JAEHYUNXJOSHUA IM YELLING HOOTING HOLLERING. at least i think u meant joshua. joshua would eat that dude alive if given the chance but i think in conversation they'd be so alien like -- for example, at a party they're surrounded by people and putting on airs i guess but then get them alone and to an observer it would look like theyre not getting along or their convo is flat and 2d when in fact they are actually communicating and going to be together forever. they would think the other is really hot and funny and everyone else is like No. That's Not Correct but to them it is and that's what matters
jkxminghao is so classic. like the most lovely earnest tender little courting ever to exist. they are going so above and beyond to woo one another. going on dates and helping the other with their art projects and just being normal sweet guys. jk is eating so much food to get a prize from the restaurant machine and minghao is like (((((': and tells jk to keep the prize because he was so excited about the figurine which disappoints jk until he sees that minghao has like saved all the tags and receipts from their dates to make a lovey dovey little collage. theyre just so cute i chew on them.
i dont know anything about eunwoo ;; but seungkwan deserves 400 boyfriends and that's my final answer
seungkwan/wooseok + au - office/workplace romance
ILL CRYYYYYYYYY I WILL!!!!! wooboo office romance. god this is so perfect for them, where maybe it's a little "the office" maybe a little the office portions of "13 going on 30" -- seungkwan is trying to move up and is making maybe some savage moves and is proud of his career and accepting that he can be a little ruthless when it comes to making sure he gets to where he wants to go, but then encounters wooseok who is passionate about the work and wanting to do real fun and good and creative things and it helps seungkwan loosen up and makes his work better !!!!! and they fall in love but can't deal with it right now because of the Big Deadline!!! despite seungkwan wanting to make out with him by the copier/in the supply closet So Bad!!!!!! aaaaaaaaaaaaa
