Author's Note

"We love not with our hearts, but with our souls."

First off, I'd like to thank Librarian for organising this event. I'd also like to apologise to him/her for taking so long to write my story; and again, thank him/her for allowing me the time to write this story. I really enjoyed writing this.

So this was actually supposed to be a one shot but when I was planning it out it turned out to be a story made of a few parts. Initially is was like, oh that's cool as long as it works out. Well, it did work out, quite well actually, but it's just a LOT longer than I intended (18'570 words altogether). I was a little freaked out when I just kept writing and writing and I couldn't simply make it shorter or it wouldn't feel as well done, but now, seeing my work come together gives me an indescribable sense of satisfaction. This is actually the first story I've planned out; literally wrote out the plot steps and details on paper. I'm used to writing oneshots so this is a first, of a lot of things now that I think about it, for me. Although there was a little oo when I didn't follow the scene of finding Hakyeon in part III. There's obviously quite a few plot holes and mistakes, but overall I do feel proud of myself.

And to the person I am writing this for:

Thank you for the prompt. I felt like it was easy to work with, despite this being my first time writing fantasy. I really hope that you enjoy it and it meets your expectations. I couldn't quite choose between the pairings you gave me so I wrote about both. I hope that's okay with you, and i'm sorry if it's not [ :c ]. I know you told me no angst, but I couldn't help but put just a bit in there. I hope it doesn't upset you; I just felt like it would help to create a deeper understanding for the love that Wonshik and Taekwoon feel for Hakyeon. I did add some extra fluff in the epilogue though, so I hope that makes up for it. I hope you had as much fun reading this story as I did writing it. Please let me know what you think, if you'd like.

Chapter 5: Just finished reading it! I'm sorry it took me so much longer than intended to get to. Things got busy on this end. O.o But I thoroughly enjoyed the entire story. It was nothing like what I expected and while you're right that there are still plenty of questions to go along with it, the story itself was delightful and romantic and filled with ups and downs aplenty. I definitely understand how this would not have worked as a oneshot and I think the three part arc was a very good choice, all things considered. ^_^ It really helped the story to make sense and come together, especially with Sanghyuk's explanation in the third part.

When everything happened in the first part, you set such a bleak scene. I was definitely not expecting that, but it certainly worked to draw me in. And I think you're right that Taekwoon would have been the more predatory of the two. I likely would have chosen that in turn and it fit quite well. The appearance of their wings was surprising and for the most part, I had some trouble in picturing them (you call them dragonoids which makes me think more draconic - though that could also just refer to their blood - but I imagine humans with bright hair and wings on occasion). That was quite a surprise when Hakyeon returned that one night but I can get behind it. haha A little out of the blue but considering the month prior, it could totally work. But then you went and had that ending and I was all like 'Oh my goodness!' Break my heart why don't you? Fortunately, part II came about and it started to make more sense, not the least of which was because you introduced us to Hongbin at the end there.

It was interesting with the different stages you had us meet the dragons and their mate too. I really liked how each time period was progressively more accepting and magical in nature. The final one would certainly be interesting to hear more about and I could totally see it growing into something with a lot of possibilities.

Chapter 5: Oh! I'm incredibly intrigued at the moment. I had to take a peek at the author's note and I'm so looking forward to reading this! I'm delighted to hear that the writing of it was fun and exciting for you, especially since it was a relatively new genre, and I do not mind if there is some angst. I just didn't want all angsty and tearjerker and stuff though a little bit is quite acceptable. ;) Likewise for the dual pairings. No worries. :D I'm sure I'll love it when I have the time to read it (hopefully later today if not tomorrow) and I'll be sure to let you know what I think. I'm super excited (and surprised) that it's as long as it is and thank you in advance for taking the time and the effort to write it out. Merry Christmas in the meantime and I hope you enjoy your story too (from whoever got your prompt). ^_^
