Review:

I haven't read a road trip AU in a long time, and although I would hardly consider it one of my favourite tropes, I very much enjoyed this fic. Taeyeon suits the vagabond character who is constantly seeking that elusive place known as home so perfectly. She's made for that character, or maybe that character is made for her. I love the way darthearts describes Taeyeon's inner monologue throughout this fic; it's very...Taeyeon. And Jessica is ever so lovely. Just a great story.


Excerpt:

It is a dingy motel room that has a mini fridge, a mini safe, and a mini television set. She turns the tv on absent-mindedly, and there’s only static on every channel. She turns the thing off, disliking the static. She supposes the silence feels better than the noise. Even so, she feels desolate, like she has managed to escape a prison, only to realize that she’s still enclosed and caged in. The only difference is that her cage is bigger.

The mirror in her room is stained and dull. When she looks at her own distorted reflection, she sees a stranger frowning back at her. It’s getting harder to believe that the girl in the mirror is herself.
