Round 2: Alternate Universes

[hwarium]

Status: Closed This round has closed. It remains open for fills and comments, but prompts are no longer accepted. Seventeen Holidays Round 2: Alternate Universes About Sometimes its the characters that move us, but sometimes we fall in love with the the world behind the story. Something transformative occurs when we place the characters we love in an unfamiliar world, like the light has shone on a new side and we're seeing them anew. Run to the classics; revisit the magic of Harry Potter, the heart-punch of a Pacific Rim drift, the warmth of a Coffee Shop AU. Or maybe dig your fingers into a story that blew your mind - Battle Royale, The Raven Cycle, Interstellar - or demand better from a book that let you down (The Poppy War fin- mmph). Perhaps! You might combine two of your fandoms for maximum joy (Haikyuu and Tennis adjacent mutuals, I'm looking at you.) The possibilities are literally endless. Do it for the aesthetic, do it for the drama. Examples Wonhui x MDZS/Untamed Wonwoo as Lan Wanji, Jun as Wei Wuxian (Minghao as Jiang Cheng?). I want a cast that feels betrayed and shocked at Junhui's demise but then gradually learning his reasons behind it. Mingyu/Seungkwan Debating AU Imagine them as third speakers in the high school circuit. Rivals! Mortal Enemies! Prepared case summaries derailing into personal attacks, and then when their coach calls them out on it they become passive aggressive e.g. "there are major flaws in the opposition's arguments..." Jeonghan as Mal from Inception Any Jeonghan ship will do. I just want him to chaotically haunt a person while being sexy about it. Rules Sign up is not required.

Re: [FILL] home is an extension of the body

[sunwalkr]

ok hui i read this last night and came back to my laptop to Properly write this but YOU!!!!! YOU!!!!!! i say this every time but i love ur brain so much its so sexy . not only that but you have such an amazing way with words that makes me so ;___; i rly cried reading this one i did. pacrim was done so beautifully and altho the grief exploration was stupid sad u wrote it with such grace that it felt gentle n aching n tender

going to quote u with certain lines that i love the most and will try to refrain from throwing this whole thing back at u
> “Hansol-ssi, are you sure you’re feeling up to this?” she asks him gently, hands hovering around him like she’s afraid he’ll fall. “There’s no shame in trying again tomorrow.” plus the paragraph after it "his body never does what he wants it to, anymore" makes me feel hansol's pain on some other level... just the idea that he's so lost w/o seungkwan/dealing with the loss that he feels so magnificently deep but also having to live w the fact that he's the one that survived and everyone else watching him constantly, n treating him like he's fragile. it would have hurt less if u stabbed me
> slight 218 moment. yes
> "Hansol doesn’t mind, even if it makes it harder to eat the oranges. It’s grounding, in a way, to be held so tightly and so quietly. Soonyoung never treats him like he’s fragile but he always reminds Hansol that he’s there." screaming into my fist . not u writing love simply, just how it exists (physically) but me knowing it is There (emotionally)
> think someone else brought this up but "You don’t have to love the vessel you’re in, only the person in it with you." ouchies
> also "Because Hansol only wants to remember him as he was, happy or sad or angry but always looking forward with the knowledge that they would carry on together, but all he can see at night is Seungkwan in the worst moment, in pain, right before the end. It feels like the worst disservice to him. Hansol could hate himself for it." OUCHIES

i loved everything about this i could probably talk on and on about it for hours the way u crafted YEARNING ACHING LOVING (and the eventual loss) in so few words [about reading in between the walls] absolutely astounds me hui... ur truly a genius..not to mention soonsol dynamics (with tip of the hat to verkwan/snwu past) made me go insane. there is something very dear to me about the idea that someone else understands u and truly Sees ur pain/suffering and is gentle enough to take it away without being cruel about it. ty for writing

KARINA T___T u are so lovely ive been staring at this comment since u left it u have no idea how much ur feedback means 2 me <333 im super relieved u thought the grief was handled well in this, i've never really explored the topic of death in writing before so i was undoubtedly very nervous about broaching the topic for the first time, so thank u for this!!

- AH i did want 2 play w survivor's guilt a little bit but i was worried abt making it too heavyhanded so i just tried 2 Imply it... v happy it came thru a little!
- youve hooked me onto 218 bros i adore them <3___<3
- thank u for picking out those lines!! all 3 of these i kinda had to Sit there and rewrite a couple times and squint at it to see if it was properly saying what i wanted it to say so i am glad they hit

thank u so much for reading and leaving such a kind comment, i'm really happy you liked this <3
