jess I am WRETCHED, I am torn asunder and sprawled across the couch trying to eat my own fist!! I read this on pastebin (thank you!!) and then had to go out for a long walk with some coffee so I can stare at the middling distance and just STEW about it all. 2025 fe3hteen is so real and it can hurt you!!
hand on heart when I submitted the english patient prompt I wasn’t thinking of fe3h at all, but now you have joined those dots and I am keening — dimitri’s ghosts, the ghost of glenn, and now to jeonghan and the lives of all survivors after a continental war — I don’t think I can even turn to talking about the text yet it’s like I’m looking into the sun. I burn!!
As someone who very recently was still doing the monastery grinds, I loved the little locatility before every scene. It took me right back to those scenes which I have run through and played for oh so many hours, I can imagine jisoo and seungcheol and jeonghan so clearly /there/, it’s almost like a memory. (And the call to all those in game activities! Stable duty, saunas, proficiency exams, gardening! Fishing!) It’s a game I have so much fondness for and I can feel it coming from the words of this fill as well!!
(btw - are the classes Seungcheol/Fortress Knight, Jisoo/Bow Knight, Jeonghan/Holy Knight?)
um the story??!! I’m bleeding out at the jugular you actually went for the unrequited love triangle and gave it flesh and blood and a knife! Seungcheol looking at Jeonghan looking at Jisoo looking at Seungcheol! The history behind Jeonghan and Seungcheol that Jisoo is so jealous of, yet Jeonghan showing Jisoo how to take care of horses only for Jisoo to use it 15 years later on Seungcheol’s new horse (which he named Angel (??!! — you DARE start with THAT). And of course that ugly choice - but why do I feel like Jeonghan is the one who has won, Jisoo has Seungcheol but he also has his guilt and the knowledge that Seungcheol never chose him, and now Jisoo is the one remaining in a world which is more purgatory than peace ( You can’t fool me though, Joshuji, I know the real reason you’re still here.)(again, fist in my throat)!!
Thank you so much for writing this - I love it so much, right down to the dissociative feeling when all the dialogue is indirect, like Jisoo is remembering it all through a fog, at a distance. It’s like there’s a feeling of denial about everything (and I’m choosing to put on my jihan glasses and believe that it’s a denial about how perfectly happy jihan could have been, if jisoo loved jeonghan back). You brought in my favourite part of fe3h so beautifully, which is the turn from youth to war and everyone has to grow up os quickly and kill your classmates. How even in the carnage there’s a tone of sentimentality which makes it all so bittersweet.
I’m trying to convey how much this story has infected me. I know the deadline is not real but my fingers are twitching to remix this oh I will GET YOU BACK DW USER KUMQUAT
