Everything We Are
Description
The year is 1980, and Yixing has been invited to join the Seattle Ballet's summer programme as an exchange student from the Beijing Dance Academy. Baekhyun is a Korean-Canadian-American soloist with a wide smile and a reckless enthusiasm for life, dance, and Yixing's jetés. The language barrier is the least of their worries.
Foreword
I'm so excited to finally cross-post my entry for the 2018 Timeline EXOpress fic fest!
This is basically a Mao's Last Dancer AU. If you've read the book or seen the movie... this is essentially the gay version of it. (If you've read the book or seen the movie, you'll also know who Mr. Peterson is in real life.)
A huge thanks to Rey (capyshota) and Sacha (BabyBlueBoy) for being incredible beta readers, bouncing ideas and helping me brainstorm and picking up on my non-American ways of phrasing and wording things. This story couldn't have happened without your help and encouragement.
UPDATE 19/2/2019: Here's a little epilogue! (Just in case you wanted to know how it all ends.)
