Hurricanes brought us here

author: onyu
— Baekhyun/Kyungsoo. PG-13. 12390 words.
— Kyungsoo stays at the dorms, hoping to fill the gap eleven other people have left with songs. Baekhyun takes on the challenge and comes back (for good). (Post-disbandment fic)
— Huge, huge thanks to Chels sunlit for everything — the beta and the cheerleading and the hand-holding. I wouldn't have been able to get through this without you. ♥ The title was taken from Alex Vargas' Wasteland.

Thoughts: This story hit me in the guts. It was a like a painful consumation that left me aching for something to happen. Post-disbandment fics generally make me sad so I try to avoid them but I was in a Baeksoo mood tonight and this is the result. The language used is very well-written. Some lines made me stop and think, which is encouraging if kept at a minimum (as this story exemplifies; I don't like to deal with stories that are too ambiguous/elaborate). The nostalgia and momentary touches added physical essence to this fictional piece and really made it realisitc. And there were some moments that I wanted to just pause. 

Pairing: Baeksoo

Length: two-shot (hurricanes brought us here (2/2))
