Reactions and Review
it was very well written, easy to read, the character development was great & I feel like I'll love this fic now and forever ♡[1]
It made me cry. I sound like a cry baby but it did. It's wonderfully written. it is a bit long to be placed as a one shot but yet it works. A wonderfully done actors au in Hollywood. There is domestic abuse that impacts one of the main characters but does not appear in the taekook relationship itself. There's also depression and underage. The underage warning mainly holds place for the earlier scenes and consensual. As always read the tags and the authors notes has some more info as well. [2]
Lights. There’s a moment I set aside before I open up a new story. I have to close my eyes, take a deep breath, steady my hands, and steel myself for the upcoming journey. Camera. There’s something exhilarating in trusting your heart in the imagination of an author, especially one that has consistently proven to never disappoint, and I guess I must be quite a masochist because this author never fails to break my heart. I can only piece it back together and hope the cracks don’t show too much through the glue. Action! Throughout the story, I was played – my heart was a violin and every emotional string was masterfully plucked until the tension and stress became too much and the strings snapped one by one. Lesson 1: it’s not real. To be honest, the tags posted for this fic are more for content warning and are a bit misleading; there is a much bigger picture that is painted in this story. It’s hard to describe it without giving away any spoilers and I very much want to tell you why you should read it, but I’m kind of stuck just telling you this: trust me. Trust me, read it, love it, and I’ll be here waiting for you.[3]
don’t be alarmed by the warning, it holds only for several of the early scenes and is consensual. powerful, time-withstanding love with an overwhelming undercurrent of heartache. about receiving all the love you could possibly get and never asking for more. this one is going to hurt, but it’ll be worth it in the end.[4]
FAVORITE. MINDHEIST FIC. HANDS. D O W N. I have been waiting to read this for so long because I thought it was a stereotypical fake dating AU from the description–IT IS NOT. It’s nothing like that. It’s pining and prose and introspection and character studies in character studies, it’s everything this had the potential to be and more. The exploration of their lives and how they interact with the lessons they learn from their works, from the knowledge they absorb from their characters–this fic is a actor’s dream, the best representation of theatre I could have asked for. Please read this. Bump it up on your to read lists, in your bookmarks, on your everything. Don’t make my mistakes.[5]
