AH WOW this is so cool! Ambiguous haoshua idolverse magical realism future fic - you've hit on all these delicious little concepts and managed to develop it so holistically with only 400 words *__* Minghao understands, and almost wishes he doesn’t. - I love this moment of empathy, how Minghao knows Joshua (and the group at large) well enough to see what's going on and push back against it. That flash of soonwoo feels so real for the same reason. Did you imagine this ability as something inherent in Joshua, that he's had all along, or something he developed post-jeongcheol enlistment? I could've never imagined this kind of fill for the prompt and I am so delighted by how you interpreted it, sorry to have missed your initial post!! Thank you so much for sharing! <3
