i'm sorry for whatever comment i leave you. it will probably be flagged for spam.
this story had photography which i know diddly squat about so this is exciting to me. and you are a genius for being able to write about 40k worth of fic (with a subject i know nada about btw) and make it flow so naturally that i don't even feel like i'm reading 40k. you're really, really, really good at that and your pacing is perfect, too. you know just how much to give the audience so that we're engaged but still inquisitive and begging for more so we keep going until we reach the end and then sob about the fact that it's over. at least that's what i do. and i'm going to go ahead and say this is my favorite fic from you that i've read so far. it was just such a nice read and i loved everything about it from the small little photography tidbits (i know nothing about it, so it was refreshing to read those helpful tips you threw in; i like learning about stuff like that and it didn't bore me or go over my head in the slightest) to all of your descriptive imagery (i especially liked how you described how yixing views the world in black and white and then in color whenever jongin crashes back into it) and how you keep all of the little mannerisms and characteristics from all of the band members in this 'verse. like how yixing always has his bag open and he stores pretzels inside because he's a snack-a-holic and how he kind of mentally lags behind a little, like there's a two second delay before he answers questions because he's processing all of it the information a little, kinda like how he aims his camera to line up the perfect shot because he's patient enough to wait until the right words come out.
your yixing is what makes this fic my favorite. i love your jongin too, i love all of your jongins tbh because they're all different but similar at the same time like it's a continuation of his story, but your yixing is what made me love this fic so much and will probably make me re-read it all the time because it seems very personal and like there's lots of litte bits and pieces of yourself in him and i think that's something very special and gutsy to do. from the very beginning of the fic to the end, you develop him so nicely and it felt like i knew him so well. he was the right amount of spacey without being obnoxiously so. and yixing's pain throughout most of the story until he learns to let go through jongin is keysmash worthy so i will keysmash awelrkjlekjaa. i also love how frank he can be sometimes and just so honest and then very random that everyone, especially jongin, thinks of him as confusing. that's so yixing to me. he's such a well developed, deep character here and has so many layers and i just love it and i could cry and keysmash some more but my keysmash is really bad and stuff.
and omg when you introduced Tears Airport i almost died because how you incorporated that into this photography verse is just so cool and wow, how does your brain work. you're a genius. like seriously. along with all the other little shout-outs like all of jongin tbh he seems so real and exactly like the jongin in exo-k that we have, not kai (which we can see when he's on stage performing and yixing sees it for the first time). like all the shy smiles and i don't know how to say it, but he seems very much like the boyish jongin we see at airports who's sleepy sometimes or when he's playful backstage and goofing off. idek what i'm saying.
also EXO being maknae line. do you want to kill me?! i could've shed tears at that okay. actual tears down my cheeks. tears airport down my face.
idek what this comment is anymore. it was probably supposed to be nice and wonderful and well-thought out and shit but then it just progressed into me crying so....yeah...
tl;dr: i love you, you are wonderful, etc etc, xoxo
