let's dance like two shadows

Description

 

 

Seulgi quirks an eyebrow, puzzled. “You don’t want the truth, do you? You just want to hear me say that I’d forgotten about you. That I didn’t tell you about coming back because I don’t care about you. Is that it?”

Future fic. Red Velvet, after a five year hiatus. Seulgi/Irene. 

 

 

Foreword

Seulgi and Irene relearning how to be friends, and all the messiness that entails.

Title from 'Silhouette' by Aquilo.

THIS TOOK SO LONG. writing feelings is v v hard. i'd rather my characters bully each other into a romance instead.

dang I’m such a er for angst and this one hit me like a truck. it’s so painful yet tender at the same time. also why does seulrene have such a weird friendship like seulgi can’t even tell irene she’s leaving? didn’t even call or text her for 5 whole years like what was the reason

Chapter 5: The reason I loved reading this so much is because not everything has to be laid out directly, as a reader you just... know and feel it. Can feel the atmosphere choking us and had us holding our breaths in every word. Seulrene's dynamics is subtle yet clear. And I absolutely LOVED what Seulgi just said when Irene was braiding her hair because damn that hit them both close to home I actually cried.

Chapter 5: you're doing a great job writing feelings. i can feel the emotions as i read. ugh these two. such idiots. y'all love each other. I'm digging the slow pace. It makes the pay off even better. can't wait for the next one!

Chapter 5: Thank you for the update! Since they're moving at such a slow-pace (nothing wrong with this, I love slow-burn!) every little bit of progress feels like such a victory. At the same time, set-backs are similarly amplified in significance. That's probably why I'm so happy that Seulrene are back on 'talking'/bantering terms with each other at the conclusion of this chapter. (considering they started off in a weird place, where they were kind of not fighting but not communicating properly either?)

Chapter 5: Oh my god did you ever have a fanfic that you read very slowly and carefully because you just don't want it to end? It's this fic to me, like, at every chapters. Your writing style is so beautiful . It's a shame that not many people have read this fic :( I just so in love with this.

Chapter 5: For the record, I would just like to state that it is a great shame that this story doesn't get more spotlight. Your writing is absolutely phenomenal. You're taking your time weaving a story that deserves nothing short of every ounce of effort you've poured into it, especially this one as you yourself have stated was very difficult to write. The fact that you've traversed a less popular path can only mean greater appreciation from readers like myself. Slow burns, when done with such attention to detail while also being able to keep readers riveted to the story is certainly a rare commodity. It's a fact that very few writers are capable of doing this. I don't even care that Seulgi and Irene's relationship is moving forward at a snail's pace because I'm thoroughly enjoying what I'm reading, irrespective of how fast things are moving along.

Keep up the great work. You surely have my appreciation. Many thanks!
