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!
