Perhaps it was time to give up on fixing this. This story refused to go the way it was supposed to, and despite all of his efforts to readjust the course, it always managed to find a way to change.

 

However, what he was most worried about was what would happen to all those in the story who hadn't made an appearance.

 

He was most worried about the Sugar Plum Fairy. She was supposed to be an integral part of this story, yet Clara had ignored it all and forged her own path.

 

He had to do something, at least for her. She didn't deserve the fate he suspected would be hers should she not appear in the story.

 

It was his duty to salvage what he could.

 

His gaze fell back on the book, which still lay on an empty page. Picking it up, he sat back down in the gilded chair, and flipped the pages

Chapter 14: First of all, my abundant apologies for getting to this so very late. I think I honestly stopped visiting the site shortly after the contest and yeah... That's no excuse and I'm back now (for now anyway) so here goes!

I really did enjoy this. It was certainly unique and you made me laugh more often than I anticipated. Punching the Mouse King in the nose was hilarious. XD And I was additionally delighted by all the characters you used. It was fun seeing familiar faces and discovering how they were all connected. heh The intermissions were a neat touch as well and I like the idea of a storyteller trying to keep things on track and then eventually having to give up in favor of a new alternative. Quite amusing, I assure you.

I also found myself wanting for more details or more information, but the very lack of those bits and pieces made the story move quite quickly. Not a bad thing in this case. It was like a roller coaster ride where the build up is the trip to the top and then it doesn't stop until you get back to the station. The time jumps were nice too and that also carried the story forward without having to spend too much time on detail and description.

I felt a little bit bad for Yongguk (and Amber) at the very end there, but then he called his 'friend' and all was well again. haha Touche and well done. Thank you again for writing this and once more, I'm so very sorry it took me this long to read and respond. I do believe this is my first Hakyeon and Amber story and I'm quite happy with it. :D
