::Author's Note::

Texts and Angel Feathers

 

[[Saves spot for super long author's note in the future]]

 

So I’m confused haha…

 

How did this terrible story win 1st freaking place in Memoirs of Chanbaek amongst all of those other amazing stories?

 

Can I just…. Excuse me for a second.

 

 

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

 

 

Okay. All of you guys are officially THE BEST PEOPLE EVER. This story exploded in a way I really never thought it would (and it was long and I didn’t expect any of you to read it ;-;) and I really don’t know what I would do without you guys. You’re all my light. And my fire. And anything else I can say that makes it sound like you sustain all of my Chanbaek feels.

 

Man I just… I don’t know where to start. How do I thank all of you when words can’t even begin to clearly express how I feel right now?

 

This was really… Texts and Angel Feathers was something I kind of just threw together and worked on forever knowing that people were going to read it. This is the first thing I've ever written for the fandom, and it's the first thing I've written that other people outside of my closest friend group have ever read, so the amount of love it got is really heartwarming. I wasn't planning to join the contest because I was so scared of people reading it and that everyone would despise it and hate me with a passion, BUT YOU DIDN'T AND THAT'S ALREADY AWESOME ENOUGH. Even if I didn't win, I'd be so happy knowing you guys loved something I wrote :)

Comments (especially the ones including strangling or finding some way to kill me) were always fun to read (I looked forward to it like hell omg it was so much fun going back to those); they made me laugh, made me want to cry, or just blush in happiness and feels because like asjdfklsafjdksla. You guys have really made me happy in a way I haven’t been happy before and I… ahh. It has really meant the world to me.

I've made so many friends through this as well, and that's awesome because I'm usually shy and reserved, so meeting all of these different people and talking to people who I can actually fangirl over Chanbaek with is super hella fabulous. I love making friends and I could always use more, so don't be shy to talk to me if you want to *blows kisses~* (or don't because I'm lame and unlikable huhu that's okay too :<)

 

This entire experience has really been wonderful. Thank you for that. 

 

In specific, I really want to take time to thank all of the admins of the Memoirs of Chanbaek contest for everything they dooooo~ They're all really awesome and nice and patient with me and my failures (and that whole box shipping thing OTL), so they deserve lots of love too :) In fact if they hadn't done this contest, I probably never would have started posting fiction for the fandom too, so definitely thank them for that haha ♥

And once again, I want to thank all of the readers and voters (how the hell did I win that poll jfc; what were you guys doing with your lives :p) that helped raise Texts to where it is today because I really do appreciate this and I just ;;;;;;

 

THANK YOUUUUU ♥ Soooo very much ♥ I love you omg ♥

 

Let's continue this journey together, okay? :)

AAYYYEEEEE bros, guess what's happening?!?!?

THAT'S RIGHT. A SEQUEL IS HAPPENING! ;D

 

~*~TEXTS AND ANGEL FEATHERS II: WHITE ROSES~*~


So this wasn't supposed to happen, but it is now because I feel awful for screwing you all over with that slight!angst tag that was on the original version in ChanbaekMemoirs (for those of you that didn't read it there, good. Though people who have been talking about it have been crying their faces off, so I guess you'd figure it it wasn't just slight after a while *nods*). In one way to put it, I told you we'd go through some motions and have some consensual, sweet love making, and then ayyyeee surprise butt with no lube. Yeah. Sorry v___v

Anyways, I'm not entirely sure what to think about this - I like the way that Texts and Angel Feathers already ended, so I've been putting this off because I've been afraid that writing the sequel would ruin the nice part of an angsty end. A lot of people have been telling me that they wish Chanbaek got together in the end, but there are also people that say that they were glad that they didn't because there aren't always happy endings and this way was beautiful too.

I like that. I like it like that. So I like this ending and this will probably be the real ending for me, and I'm just writing the 2nd part to appease all of your needs (and my own apologies). So trust me when I say I really am just doing this for you. Because I legit have NO one else to do this for, and NO other reason to do it aside from the fact that I get bored and feel like wasting all of my precious time to write something just for you. Because I love you. So feel loved, okay? :3

If you like this ending, you don't need to read the sequel. Or read the sequel and pretend it never happened haha.

But don't expect this to happen anytime soon. I'm so busy right now that it's ridiculous, and I don't know when I'll get un-busy enough to start on something new. I'm writing something kind of long right now and a few other things that I want to finish before I devote time to this. I'm also going to be participating in the Chanbaek exchange at the end of the year (woot woooot), so that'll take up a lot of my time too. So, I suppose this will be happening sometime in the beginning of 2015 probably. (Maybe March? It might also be April or May;;; I don't know, it could even be around Christmas time over break *waggles eyebrows*). I'm putting it up now so you can see it and so I'll actually do it. Once again, I'm busy right now; please don't expect it to update soon. Writing something nice will probably take a while and I have no time to put into making nice things right now.

 

Anyways, I think that's it. Hopefully you'll like the sequel as well :)

Thanks for sticking with me haha ^__^

Thank you so much for writing and sharing this story with us. It poked my heart, twisted it, left me a crying mess and yet I feel like t is probably something I needed to read while in grief. I try to avoid angst/death stories but it's chanbaek.....I was starting to fear where t was going but your writing made me continue. I can relate to Chanyeol so much and writing this makes tears start again.... Kudos to you and gain, thank you for writing.

Chapter 9: SPOILER!! DON'T READ THIS IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE STORY YET. THIS IS JIST FEEBACK FOR THE AUTHOR.
by the way this is jist feefback on what i though of the characters and story. Im not trying to take a dig at you. Youre an amazing author. I love all your stories and im literally obsessed with everything you write. Im not hating just wann make that super clear lol

I love your writting. Its really easy to follow and understand. Great idea. The way chapter was split up was great. The story was really sad i cried like baby esp whenever cy would breakdown. I cried extra hard when he tried to kiss kyungsoo omg. I had to put my phone down and compose myself. I liked that at the beginning we didint know who was writting the journal or what wad going to happen next. I was hooked and i honestly couldnt put my phone down till i finished. Took my three hours to read lol. I didnt want it to finish. You put a lot of time and it shows.


bUT I COULDNT STAND SOME CHARACTERS especially my very own biad BYUN FREAKING BAELHYUN'S CHARACTER. He was selfish. So soo selfish. And even after all he did Baek got to ERASE his memories. Thats so unfair lol. If they cant be together i feel like they should of erased both of their memories. For chanyeol even if they dont erase his love for baek i feel like they shouldve erased the time in which baekhyun was his guardian angle. If you think about it chanyeol was finally moving on with his life. He was starting to accept that baek was dead and was starting to let go. He had an amazing boyfriend/roommate who liked him alot. Who was teaching him to love again to open his heart even a little bit. Who was patient with him despite being told no mutiple times. But who ruined it? Baekhyun! All bc he was jealous and selfish. Like i wanted to rip my hair out. Between the two of them u cant deny chanyeol suffered the most and thats understandable bc he lost someone he loved. I cried more for cy. I felt soo bad for him and even after baek got his memories erased he still suffered which is depressing as

But baek was totally fine. He was in heaven he had friends . He was an angel. He got to see chanyeol everyday. He could touch him, visit him in his dreams omg. Chanyeol had no one. The love of his life was dead. I mean yeah he had his family and kaisoo but jongin was an to him when he needed him most and kyungsoo was the reason baek died lol. He only had kris who tried to understand him and baek ruined that and bc of him messing in his head and his dreams, he pushed kris away andwent back to being depressed again. Even more so than before. Like how freaking selfish can you get? I mean yeah in the end he (baek) did make a great sacrife but even that wasnt really a sacrifice. He got his memorises earsed so no more pain and suffering. He got to keep xuichen and luhan his friends. He also got a promotion. Like a big promotion. What?? Meanwhile cy still remembers everything. dae even told him not to forget. To remember baek forever. Huh?? Why??

For me the pefect ending would be if fate and destiny decided to erase their memorise, they should've both gotton their memories erased. That would've been sad but chanyeol would finally find happiness.

OR for an extreamly sad ending,

baekhyun kept his memories but got a different job. A job in which he couldnt physically see chanyeol ever again. (That would've been hella tragic.) Doesnt find love again (until he meets chanyeol again ofc)

chanyeol would keep his memories too. Doesnt ever find love again either bc he loves baek too much to let go

jongdae: gets a different job, away from baek and minseok. Gets to keep memorises

minseok: (im sorry minnie) should've had his powers taken away from him. Not only did he mess up cb AND gave his ring to baek which makes it partly his fault but he got no punishment? He doesnt even get to live with the guilt for allowing baek to get killed and ruining cb. I mean wasnt he their matchmaker? He didnt even care lol. He was a really ty friend.

Jongdae was really sweat. And he was my favorite character. He always looked out for baek, cheered him up he tried to help baek move on. This is cb story i know and i ship cb BUT if baek ended up with jongdae, and yeol ended with kris i honestly wouldn't even be mad.

Thank you for writting this story i really enjoyed it

Chapter 10: Okay so I promised myself that I will never ever read angst or tragedy again like two years ago because I am such a crybaby when it comes to Baekyeol in angsty situations (my heart breaks so many times reading like that) AND I know that this fic is from 2014... BUT today in 2018 I stumbled upon this and somehow I started to read it... EVEN THOUGH I CRIED THE WHOLE ATLANTIC AND I couldn't move for hours I don't regret a single second BECAUSE seriously this story is such a piece of art!!! Every word in this fanfiction is just perfect! Your writing style is simply amazing and you did such a fantastic job authornim! ♡
Thank you so much for creating this beautiful Chanbaek masterpiece *bows* I am truly thankfully that so wonderful stories exist! THANK YOU ♡ and I hope you have a great day~

Chapter 10: I can't believe this made me cry so much , it's unbelievably beautiful. Like every sentence just made me so emotional and I can't really say enough how much I appreciate and love this story. The anguish was real, the sadness was real but so was the happiness. The ending was really good, I think it couldn't have been better. Great writing style it's so well written. I think this story is just perfect. Thank you so much for writing this, I really appreciate your efforts. Lots of love ♡♥♡
