The Prisoner

Description

It's hard for a stray to learn to stay. 

(A remix of No. 6 by ACatWhoWrites for KPopFicMix.)

Foreword

A bit of a sequel to the original, from Minseok's perspective.

This was my first fic fest, and it was a lot of fun!  I usually write long, involved stories, so it was a challenge to keep things short and simple.  To echo the original fic, I used past tense instead of my usual present, stopped short of my typical gratuitous , and nobody even swears.  I don't know who I am anymore.  :)

The original work has this fantastic Sci-Fi AU concept as a backdrop that is never really explored because Jongdae cares less about why a cat turned into a man and more about what he can do to help his new houseguest.  While it was tempting to flesh out Minseok's backstory even more, I liked the original story's focus on the connection between the two despite the unusual circumstances.  I went with that idea as well, this time filtered through Minseok's eyes.

The original author is one of my favorites--I really hope I did the original work justice!

Chapter 2: I love it! I wish there is more to this story. It’s really nice. I’ve read the prequel and I was just so happy this story came out! Cat Minseok is just too adorable and XiuChen is the fluffiest ever!!!

Actually, there is a prequel--this story was written as part of a fic exchange where one author continues another's work. There's a link to the original/prequel in the foreword if you want to check it out.

Chapter 2: That's why I don't like one shots...every time I end up wanting more!!! In one word "soft", but also filled with the right amount of angst and emotional tension ♥♥♥♥♥

Chapter 2: You already know everything I have (had) to say about this story and the single passages so I will just settle for a simple: that's still so ing beautiful I want to cry and read it over and over again because Minseok shouldn't be a soldier, Jongdae shouldn't be petrified of losing him and both of them deserve to be happy and ty together.
