Summary: Home in the shape of their interlocked fingers, in the sound of their whispered secrets, in the warmth of their bodies pressed together. Home in the two of them colliding, in summer and autumn meeting right at the edge of each other and promising they wouldn’t let go.
or, the highs and lows of life and love as told by a musician and a dancer.
Notes: i read this at 5am so perhaps this influenced my mood, but this fic is such a ride. since it follows a non-linear narrative, you get the pieces of the plot and as you read, they fall into place. that means you need a little patience, but i think it's all worth it considering how heartfelt and lovely the writing is. i can tell op put their heart into it and it makes all the difference!
this fic has heavier angst than other fics we've recommended, so do keep that in mind! because of that, this fic has a very... melancholy? vibe, but it makes all the sweet moments between minsung mean that much more. one of my favorite things about this fic is the character development from both minho and jisung; they are individual characters who grow a lot by learning from each other. they're each other's support :(
i recommend reading this at nighttime, or when it's overcast. i think a moody atmosphere would be best if you want to get fully immersed! and since it has a motif of autumn and summer, i think the summertime (or autumntime, i guess) would be the perfect time to read it! give op some love~ ^^
