Re: [FILL] i will have you know – my swan song will not be my last

[lachrymosy]

Those last two paragraphs... I don't even know how to articulate how they make me feel but they really make me FEEL. Your writing is always poetic and especially in how you set up imagery and the arrangement of emotions and dialogue, but argh, that “All it takes is one yes to make it worthwhile" just really hurts here at the end, after everything you've set up. I love how much characterization you accomplish in a short space but also how, idk understated it is? Minghao's dialogue feels So Important and functions so well to show the reality of what he is determined to believe and feel and do and how his ideals are at odds with the situation/relationship, contrasted with Mingyu's earnestness... I love it. You are always brilliant and this is just one more entry into your brilliant canon!

ellie you are too kind!! i feel like this was super dialogue-forward for me so i'm glad that you thought what minghao said was super important to the whole ficlet T___T mingyu who's predisposed to say yes vs. minghao who's predisposed to say no... i hope i can write something less hopeless in the future for them! thank you for reading as always, it means so much! ♡♡♡
