girasoles this will be short ~
pwp for friends was much more fun than i thought it would be?! at first i was pretty nervous for because moaficdom still ISN'T really accepting of e-rated but then i was like Do You Care More About Strangers Than About Your FRIENDS? (no.... i rly don't... and when have i ever written something that in some way or shape was to please an audience who ISN'T a. me or b. soogyuists? anyway) fic notes!
> at first, i was pretty nervous about getting the ao3 user sonria as a recipient + her prompts were very left-field for the things i usually write (but i think this can be said for everyone, since it was Most Of The Group's First Time Writing E) but i was immediatly attracted to the triple h prompt n__n not only because it's something she's openly said she wants, but because it's something i love as well.
> briefly toyed with the idea of her taegyu + bazzi prompt & make it the famous "are you upset that i am not him?" [tyunning / soogyu] but that seemed way too up my alley / self indulgent for Me. friendpresent is all about [spins wheel] friend satisfaction!!!
> so, on the writing process: this was.... light. It wasn't easy, but it was light in the sense of words and scenes came much more freely thanks to the material it was based of + it's just nice TT TT
> taehyun: i didn't want him to be exactly like Hui in the M/V & kangtae is someone i see as calculating by default, so as #inspiration for his character here we have the famous izaya orihara from durarara!! which i think in restrospect is pretty fucking obvious if u think about it / are familiar with the drrr!! canon or storyline.
> yeonjun: same thing here. he's supposed to be the "hyuna" but he's more cold-blooded about it, not as innocent.
> kai: in the same vein. i didn't want him to just be "suicidal" (which he isn't in the fic, not really) but he's a thief which appeals to me once more because at first glance he doesn't look like the careful type but i think huening has Hidden Depths (tm) that he's shown very brief glimpses of & thats Very Interesting To Me.
> on their relationship: i wanted to highlight the differences between taejun / tyunning / yeonkai; which reminds me briefly of how i classify TXT in my head: beomkai / taejun & soobin. there are many mentions of how similar taejun are & those are all The Author Pushing Their Agenda, while for tyunning / yeonkai is the eventual understanding behind closed doors / easy physical affection & comfort. which is just Appealing to Me Personally / how they're still figuring their own relationship out; they're not all close in the same way which was a bit inspired by mira's own tweet on polyam r/s
> the thing for each vignette was breaking / fixing something: broken wing mirror / fixing [harassment] / breaking [window of car] / fixing [window] / breaking [away from the People] / fixing [misunderstanding, i think i love you too] / breaking [mentally away from yeonkai for a second] / fixing [all together now, intimacy] / breaking [away from their current lives] WHICH I RLY THINK IT'S TOO SUBTLE. but wtv! i am either too obvious or not obvious enough, this wasn't obvious enough.
> if something sounds familiar it's all on purpose to show either divergence or similarities, which is why: never stolen a car is repeated / taehyun's relationship to yeonkai & how he kisses them.
> on the MV, everything happens pretty quickly but i wanted to give them more time + a happy ending! which is why they elope at the end and don't die.... yeah
> not having a beta reader for this was #torture i can't speak english.... TT TT next friendexchange i'll just ask em for help TT TT
> the ending KILLS ME when will i write an ending that i like.... when will i not drop the ball on them? possibly never. we'll see
> "yeonjun noona" i will never let it go.
thank you for reading! n__n
