Just let me celebrate my first month on AFF okay?

For a month now, this has been my morning and evening routine. My mode of evasion.

I met artists of literary fiction. I made friends.

I developed technique. I gained confidence in my writing.

I discovered more about idols through another's perception. I loved them more because of that.

Without further ado, I put up a list of my treasured finds here on AFF. (Sadly though, at such a limited time, they are confined to KaiStal stories~ XP Yeah I read them all)

Piercing quotes: 

1. 'I guess this is the closest we'll ever get to the sea.' -Jongin (The Difference Is by shouldntdodat)

-> rare find~ nice contrast of characters, good word choice and an electrifying plot, where anyone can relate to and is definitely independent of exo's kai & sehun.

2. Childhood friendships are only good when they're children and they're friends. -The Difference Is by shouldntdodat

3. 'Dancing is my passion. Soojung is my dream.' -Jongin (It's All A Shame (Afterstory) by nepheliadd)

-> couldn't help but imagine Soojung melting at these words~ good characterization through an effective writing style, stream of consciousness

4. 'If you're going to hurt me, I'll be okay.' -Kai (Beautiful Stranger by kiwibubblecat)

-> love that knows no boundaries~ intruiging character background, otherworldly

Prettiest KaiStal one-shots:

1. 'When our lips touched, I knew it was the start of our fairytale.' -Krystal (Our hearts stopped by pinkie)

-> short & sweet, but relatable, almost believable

2. 'If we just walk together like this, wherever we go, it'll be heaven' -Krystal (Beautiful Stranger by kurdoodle)

-> first to put into words what KaiStal shippers feel when they hear Beautiful Stranger and Into Your World~ crafted beautifully that I get goosebumps. perfect mix of romance and mystery

3. 'I'm going to explode right now if you don't stop being so stunning.' -Krystal (Awkward by lynnypooh)

-> those little things that makes you remember, makes you feel

4. 'I know we've just met and today's been crazy. Like extremely crazy. But here's my number.' -Kai (Call Me Maybe? by Taeminho)

-> we all know the song, but still had a twist giving the song deeper meaning

And my unexplainable faves:

1. 'She's Soojung, the one I love and she will never know.' -Jongin (It's All A Shame (One-shot) by nepheliadd)

-> heartbreaking. oh, those could-have-beens

2. And perhaps the most important anticipation of all: to get her back again. -Light Up the Sky by kurdoodle

-> the most believable KaiStal story~ ke.

3. It was pitch black outside and you watched a man clad in black, silver, and white. -Sweet Dreams by shouldntdodat

-> makes you think~ a dark metaphor

So basically, I just promoted. ha! KaiStal love~ <3

oh, and my favorite authors!

1. shouldntdodat

-> crazy cat. never thinks inside the box! (get it?)

2. kurdoodle

-> picky with words, but totally delivers

3. nepheliadd

-> not a fan of happy-ever-afters, which otherwise pierces hearts
