Lover's Dictionary

Description

Love is such a broad idea.

 

Foreword

 

 

A/N: Not really a fic, not completely mine, something of a drabble dump -- a writing exercise? -- that I need to keep myself on track amidst mountains of schoolwork. Yes, heavily patterned after 'The Lover's Dictionary' by David Levithan, so if you've read the book, a lot of things will look very familiar. (If you haven't read it, read it now. It's wonderful) Yes, I'm going to do the whole alphabet.

And yes, I'm still working on Iceflare and Into The Dark Night, so please be patient. ♥

Chapter 2: It's amazing how you portrayed their love life in this kind of forms of definition and examples. How colorful and lively their life is and how exciting a person could be. So natural and calm.

Wonder why you don't finish this though. It's a unique theme. Thank you. XOXO

I feel bad because I don't know how to express myself properly in english and I think you deserve to know but at the same time it's kind of an 'ok' thing because even if I did know I would still be left without words (does it make any sense? lol).
This is beautiful!
Thank you so much for writing this~ ;_;

Chapter 2: FINALLY FINISHED READING THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HIHI I LOVE YOU JENI THIS IS SO BRILLIANT ;A;
Really tho, I don't even know what part is my favorite ;___; but probably "detachment"? i mean come on, hyukjae's so possessive there and he looks ignorant but attentive in the inside? that's the cutest thing ever ugh kilig 8(((
finances cracks me up bcs prob that happens irl too so that isnt too far-fetched lol
"harbinger" too ;u; isnt fate a funny thing, he fell in love with Hyukjae who has initial H and live happily ever after <333 hahaha
the angst tho 8( at least its only a bit compared to the fluff ;3;
hihi hope you'll update the next chapter after japan OwO
Thanks for the update <333333

There appear to be no words in the English language that I can express how much I enjoy this, but I'll try my best anyway. >:]]

At first I thought these drabbles are separate but then more I read I realize that each stories doesn't stand independent of each other but are snippets and scenes of Hyukjae and Donghae's life together but it never feel disconnected because you weave in and out of their live so effortlessly that it's like I'm looking at small pictures and when I step back I see the the completely portrait that it makes: their joy, sadness, insecurity, and love, paint in vivid details and across moments of their life. It's poignant and so well executed that I'm (!!!!!!!) jaw-dropping awed because I adore it SO MUCH.

I love that though each drabble has a word theme but it's not like in your face sort of thing??? I mean it's a kind of subtle in the way you execute each theme and it always the kind that make you go, "oh, /oh/, I see it!" instead of "hey, hey that's so obvious!" And it's not always so straight forward either?? Like "celibacy", I didn't expect that sort of it take on it (I thought of something else) and it's interesting and fun! :D

I feel like I almost get whiplash reading this lol because there are moments when I laugh ("Finances"), I get upset ("Dissonance"), I feel heartwarming and excited ("Ebullient"), and clutch my bruise heart ("Hubris"). But I think that's what so great about it because it's a realistic, tracing the ups and downs of two people being in a relationship with each other. There may be moments of happiness, sadness, and bitterness but that's the way of life and you draw me into their world and I'm sunk in and so invested in their relationship now!!


(-hisses- char limits tbc in the next post)

Chapter 2: I guess I will conclude this chapter as bittersweet. It's pretty clear about the confusion they both (mostly Hyuk) had in the start of this relationship. I'm really happy that Hyuk accepted this relationship with Hae even though he was straight.
Hyuk is really possesive, haha. And it seems like Donghae really has the ability to foretell things XD
My dictionary made its comeback, lol. I'm really trying to fit all the new words I learnt today in my head but I don't think these words will be able to stay in my head for too long.
Once again, thanks for this update♥ I'm learning from this story, hehe :3
