Kiss Your Darlings

Please log in to read further chapters

Description

When Jongin is accepted into university, he comes to realise that there is much more to life than the books he sticks his nose in.

 

{ Jongin is an introverted farm boy with problematic parents and an admiration for the classics }

{ Kyungsoo is the student facing constant threats of expulsion because he cannot stray away from the banned texts }

{ Though their personalities and pasts conflict, their shared love for strange philosophies and writing is what draws them closer together }

Foreword

This is an adaptation of the film 'Kill Your Darlings', featuring Kaisoo and constant references to classical literature.

It is of a PG rating (adult humour, intense references, allusions to banned literature, hormones etc), though there will be chapters marked M due to more major mature themes. I will ensure to warn people of such themes as clearly as possible, so keep an eye out for my author notes and ratings.

This will not be an extensively chaptered story, but it will have the special addition of little drawings that Jongin has scribbled in his notebook (I am an art student, but these have been done in literally 0.3 seconds in poor lighting, so please forgive me; afterall...he is a writer, not an artist).

I hope you enjoy it ~ lots of love!

i love how you construed words to fit and blend together... and i especially love your characterization of Jongin here and his love for literature and all the philosophies he gained and shared from reading. my fave was this one:

‘Books give us an opportunity to be different. If we read the same that everyone else around us is reading, then we’ll all be the same. We’d be living in a world full of clones. But, there are so many options out there. If we branch out from what’s ordinary, books can transform us, they can make us stand out. Reading is what spurs the creation of more literature. We read something beautiful and then we are filled with the desire to read more about it, or to read about situations that are similar. It’s like how Toni Morrison once said, if there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.’

I just love how there were meanings behind every word or thought Jongin has. Overall, i enjoy reading this story...been too long since I last encountered a fic as spectacular as this! +the drawings~

Chapter 8: I'm in love with your story! It's so full of insights. It's a great way to think of an unusual in usual, like a remarkable point in no point at all. It's packed really well author-nim! I really really love Kyungsoo's characterization here.

Thank you for your story!!
