Playing with Fire

Description

"Everyone thinks I burned that house down on purpose. It was an accident – but everyone just thinks I’m crazy.”

Foreword

What’s this? A SHINee fanfic? From me? X)

This isn’t the first SHINee fanfic I’ve written. The last one I wrote was a TaeminxOC I wrote for a friend several years ago and now lies buried in the dark bowels of my archive. Don’t go there~

 

Also WOT?? ANGST?? (okay but I’ve been a mess lately this has been a bit of a vent-fic but also not really)

I’ve never written JongKey before so please be patient with me if their characters are messy. (I am open to constructive criticism, but not flames despite the fact that this is a story about pyromania (I'm so punny).)

This story will be short, probably only having 3 parts. I ended up breaking it up when it hit 12K words. It was supposed to be a oneshot :')

 

DISCLAIMER This story by no means is a method to glorify or make light of pyromania. In extreme cases, it is a dangerous compulsive disorder that could cause harm to the pyromaniac, the people around them, and property. It is considered a type of arson and is statistically the second most common cause of arson in the world. Please make sure to seek help if you, or anyone you know, feels the desire to set fire to anything bigger than a few sticks in a controlled fire pit. Please.

 

And I do apologize if I portray certain mental illnesses stereotypically or inaccurately. Truthfully, every case is different, and I tried to steer clear from stereotypes as much as possible.

And I am also aware that mental health hospitals aren’t all bad, and I did my best to not portray them in a negative manner. However, I have very little experience or knowledge of them, so please do not take this story as an accurate representation of a mental health hospital.

 

pyromania

[pī′rōmā′nē·ə]

Etymology: Gk, pyr + mania, madness

an impulse-control disorder characterized by an uncontrollable urge to set fires.

Remember how I said there was only going to be three parts to the story? There's four now.
I'll try to update soon. Part three ends on a cliffhanger and that's not fair. I'm going to get part four done before I upload it so nobody has to wait months to get answers. Thank you for your patience <3

This story is so unique and amazing, it would be a real shame if you gave up on it;;; i believe the people who consider writing abt Jjong disrespectful have already left any fanfiction sites...so i really really would like you continue (ofc if you feel strong and comfortable enough to do that) because this story is wonderful and so is you writing:)))

Chapter 1: This is an interesting story! I've never read one about a pyromaniac and the way that you're setting it up is quite captivating. Jonghyun's situation seems interesting, in how he responds to Kibum especially. I like that it's his attitude that makes Jonghyun come out of his shell a bit. Certainly not the most professional approach but it seems to be working at the moment! lol I think that Jinki makes a good doctor in this and I really liked that nod towards Minho too. Kudos for adding in the self-admitted. I think it's easy for people to forget they're places that are for people to heal as well as to keep them safe from themselves. Now you've got me curious about who Taemin will be when he shows up or did I miss that? :S). haha

Great start though. I enjoy the writing and the pace moves along smoothly without feeling like it's jumping around or anything like that. I'm definitely looking forward to what's coming up next. I wonder if the nurse in charge of Jonghyun intentionally didn't give him paper or how this whole thing will play out with Kibum becoming more vested in his charge. Keep up the good work! ^_^
