Chapter 7: I kept postponing reading this one because I just knew it’d make me emotional. And sure enough it did, but not quite in the way I expected? Real-life Yuju said once that Eunha could be comforting without saying anything grand, and that’s kinda mirrored here in the fiction. Her words are so simple, but they feel so powerful and touching because I know their story and I know Eunha means them. Where do I find an Eunha in my life TT TT But what I really hope is that Eunha can be her own... Eunha? I mean, things like, “It’s more than enough, you don’t have to do this forever”, I wish she could hear those words too.

This side story also gives me the feels because we’ve come pretty much full circle from Shadow Rising (wew what a journey). What I like about Eunha’s arc since then though is that she is still recognizably herself, still very much emotionally driven and somewhat risky/extreme. But after learning the consequences the hard way, the same weakness that started all this is now her source of strength. I suppose growth is its own reward, but man do I feel the irrational need to crane over the fourth wall and tell Eunha she’s doing such a good job given the mess they're all in TT TT. Btw, this is so much better than my old crackpot theory that Eunha offered to let the Spider leech on her instead XD. Sorry (not sorry) for making you read this longass rant haha your fault really for making me this soft for Eunha’s character :P.

Chapter 6: Oof right in the feels when Yerin’s narration says she finally felt the urge to settle down. Idk what it is about the concept of home that always gets me TT TT. That Yerin has found a home in Yuju after *emphatically*/all they’ve been through/ really touches my heart TT TT. I have this inexplicably heavy table lamp and I will NOT hesitate to swing it at whoever dares threaten what Yeju have now (maybe a pillow at Eunha if she gets too close hahaha I’m so sorry).

Chapter 5: Ooh the merging of consciousness with thrown into the mix definitely reminds me of the mind-melding thing that Asari do in Mass Effect. And why is Yeju always so INTENSE in here. I feel like the Yujuna romance, even with their re-incarnation complications, is something like “If we’re not together I’ll be so heartbroken because we’re really good together”, but the Yeju romance feels like “If we’re not together I CAN and WILL physically disintegrate”. I think that’s why I was a bit slow in starting to root for Yeju as lovers, because I personally feel under normal circumstances their utter interdependence would be considered an unhealthy sign. But their circumstances couldn’t be further from normal, and I'm more and more convinced they belong together as their pasts are revealed. I just want them to end up happy TT TT. Also, Eunha needs to pay more attention in Magic Theory 101 like girl why were you still holding out hope knowing the nature of the Bond XD.

Chapter 4: Yo if Umji and Hayoung somehow DO manage to meet and work together to take down Tristar, I'm gonna go absolutely feral. Like, it doesn't get much cooler than that. And I'm so happy to see a little more of Umji here in the archives. The technomancer thing is dope and I love her geeky personality to bits. Man, take me back to simpler times when Yuju and Umji were blowing things up messing with the security features in their old safe house. Everything is a mess now TT TT.

Chapter 3: It was always in rain that they find each other huh TT TT That still rings true, even in Bloodlines, as Yeju help each other time after time in some of their darkest moments uwu. I hope that, by the end, Yerin will have realised that she has not only Yuju but a family "forged in fire" (Yuju's words) who genuinely care about her. Btw, I forgot to mention it before but every time OhJungPark friendship is featured in a fic I gain +10 HP so thank you for sustaining me haha. I hope to see more of them as a side story or otherwise, but what we have so far is already great (albeit tragic as hell).

Chapter 2: Suddenly I had a RevelationTM. Now that I know almost the whole story, could it be that Yuju can always see through Yerin’s suggestions because she made a connection with Yerin as a child, before her ability manifested fully? The other obvious theory would be, since Yerin's appearance reflects the onlooker's desire, Yuju simply wants Yerin, exactly as she is uwu. But whatever the case, the fantasy element i.e. Yerin's magic is such a handy way to show how her masks whatever their nature just don't work on Yuju. That is really affecting uwu. No wonder she fell in love so hard.

Chapter 1: Oh, this is a nice change of tone? Eunha is... happy??? It’s even a bit reminiscent of real-life Yujuna’s “training days”, since real Yuju has talked about being the first to text Eunha to welcome her to the company, so it’s really nice to-“They promised to never be apart, and Eunbi would have brought Yuna home to see her family, but the war seemed to go on forever. And when it was finally over, it was too late.” Oh. Nevermind. Welp, there’s Eunha crying again. Yeah that checks out (HAHA HELP). Seriously though, I’ve been more focused on Yuju and Yerin’s suffering in Bloodlines, but this reminds me how there’s something really lonely about Eunha’s suffering. She’s carrying the burdens from more than one lifetime, which is not fair to ask of anyone, let alone one so smol. I think that’s why Eunha in Crossroads makes me sad as well. Those closest to her don’t have her memory so it’s hard for them to understand TT TT And the way she always feels cold TT TT *Google how to give a fictional character a hug*.

Chapter 7: I m crying. We all love u too Eunha ಥ╭╮ಥ always have ( ；∀；)
And i love u too author nim (◍•ᴗ•◍)❤ thank you for the series of stories.

Chapter 7: first of all thank you so much for writing this. Don't mind me i just need to get it off my chest ok? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA THAT LAST LINE HITS HARD ;;______________________________________;;
so this is why Yuju said she took too much already..Eunha was giving a piece of her to every part of Yuju she encountered along the way and comforting each one of them at the same time..although Yuju already gave her heart to someone else, it still felt so personal..I really love how selfless Eunha is towards Yuju and just how pure her love is for her that she's willing to put aside her own feeling.. it's very hard to choose for something so tempting as that but she did the right thing. Anyway..i knew which ship is the end game but thanks for this. They got that special bond as well and i'm satisfied with that.
It's cute that Yuju gave her piece of heart to guard Yerin though, it's your turn to save Yerin now~ i can't wait for ch 25 now!
