YEEEEEEEEEES OH MY GOODNESS OP I can't express how excited I am that you filled this prompt AND WITH 97Z?! I am on the floor. This is so good. This is. DELICIOUS UGGHMF. Writing the prompt, I really struggled with leaving it open to both angsty/heavy and funny/light fills, because I think this type of AU lends itself to both really well. And I feel like you touched on both tones so exquisitely! This is more than I could've ever hoped for!!
if he were to guess what the editors would write in little subtitles under their names, it would be something flowery and vague like “Life Partners.” - seokhao through the eternal heart-eyes of Kim Mingyu and his background knowledge of the crew and producers... THIS IS JUST SO PERFECT. + feeling camaraderie with Seokmin because he passed the bungee jump Detour oh my GOD when I tell you I literally almost asked for that SPECIFICALLY in the prompt I'm not even kidding I feel like you read my mind op this is crazy. It's so clear how Mingyu Cares, how he struggles to watch them struggle,, I love the way you captured his big bleeding heart here. Especially, Mingyu was not sure he would be able to stomach the sight before they could intervene. Even when he's exhausted himself, he's thinking of them, of how difficult the race is for them. Are you kidding [yelling forever]!
I love your descriptions of the airport, the never-ending sunrise (!!!), the melancholic atmosphere that is still somehow full of love because that's just how 97z roll... I can't get over how tender it is, their reaction to the flight being delayed yet again, how they're still just supportive and soft with each other. My heart is EXPLODING at Mingyu imagining filming seokhao clapping for the winning team, the whole last lines, Minghao just laughs, warm, clinging on to him. He’s draped across him, hand finding Seokmin’s. He raises his head to kiss him, and rests there. / Mingyu subtly, sheepishly, slips the lens cover onto his camera. Please excuse my language but fuuuuuuuuuck. YOU GET IT! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS I FEEL LIKE I WILL NEVER RECOVER!!
