This is so lovely. I somehow thought that this would be gen right up until Daesung's hand was in Jiyong's pants, but that wasn't a jarring discovery. I enjoyed the security in Daesung's voice here, not that he thinks everything is perfect but that he's secure in his place in the world. That viewpoint rubbing up against Jiyong's anger/chaos/pain/self-destruction is a very interesting focus. I really like Daesung's observations on the contrast between his relationship with God and Jiyong's relationship with his own celebrity. Characters with faith, who actually are visibly people with faith, is rare in fic and I appreciated that angle here, too.
(And I adored Seungri getting into trouble in Vegas and here in Los Angeles.)
