This Could Be Our Lullaby

Description

In which Irene and Seulgi try to salvage a life for themselves out of the burning wreckage of the past.

Or: "Nothing compares to the emptiness we both shared."

This is a sequel to my one-shot My Dear Melancholy, We're Alone Together.

This can be read as a standalone, but it might not make as much sense as it would if you've read that story first :)

BACKSTORY IF YOU DON'T WANNA READ: Irene's an assassin, Seulgi's a pole dancer, and they're trying to make a life together.

Foreword

Author's Notes

Writing this because I've got the writing bug again and I've got some free time from work (FINALLY) and I've been itching to do something.

"But TEZMiSo," you might ask, "why are you writing a sequel to a random one-shot you already finished 18 months ago?" Well, because I'm entirely creatively bankrupt and out of ideas at the moment and also too dumb-dumb-dumb to think of any new ones sooooo....hope you at least enjoy. I've missed writing things quite a bit :)

P.S. If you liked the open ending of that one-shot and would prefer to keep this non-canon in your head, that's cool by me too! :)

Chapter 3: I love how patient Seulgi is. Maybe because she seems indebted in a way to Irene also because she pulled her out from her old ugly life. Though their lives could be quite messy and complicated in the current situation, at least they're together to heal and move forward with their lives.

Chapter 3: I am so sad :(( but in a sense, the ending is realistic. You can’t heal from an entire life filled with trauma that soon. If I stay optimistic, id say with time, Joohyun can forgive herself and find peace with Seulgi. I love how Seulgi is so forgiving and selfless here, please stay by Joohyun’s side as long as the circumstances let you guys be.
Love this 3-shot, thanks for sharing your work author

Chapter 3: This fic is so beautiful. Despite the violence and dark theme, it gives off a tranquil vibe. I just realized that reading your all fic feels like watching Wong Kar-Wai's film for some reason.
And I just wanna say that you're one of my fav author on this site, and I started listening to The Weeknd songs because of you haha. Thank you for writing and sharing this with us!
