Description

 

«I look over at the fence knowing that this is my chance to try and escape. The patrol officers aren’t looking my way, too preoccupied with the man they just shot. I could scale the chain fence, crawl underneath the barbed wire and run across the tundra, find the train tracks, follow them until I reach a station, hide there until a stock-train arrives and stowaway in one of the compartments.»

 

Kim Dahyun, a miner living in the Miners Community, dreams of a life beyond the chain fence, but when the opportunity for her to escape the society that the Guild has built presents itself, Dahyun is suddenly hesitant.

 

Foreword

A/N:

hello ((: this is a slightly longer SaiDa fic (circa 10 chapters). the story was originally written for a different pairing but I decided to give it to SaiDa because I think the characters fit a little bit better (?). anyway, the setting is inspired from that one time I went to Røros, visited one of the mines, and got lost in a field. this story is also inspired by the song ‘I See Fire’ by Ed Sheeran.

the characters are probably OOC but eh. also, updates will be slow and quite random. sorry ‘bout that.

2022: I'm picking up this story again because I don't like leaving things unfinished... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

wow ! I had not expected you to write a full-length saida fan fiction, what a surprise ! and the suspense! your writing is amazing and a real pleasure to read <3 like most times (or actually always), your writing goes into great detail and it feels as if we are the characters, like I've been Dahyun.
thank you so much for this, and I can't wait for more!

Chapter 3: Oh dear! You've updated! :D And once more, it is impressive! The detail and the sensory aspect of the scenes is remarkable. Like, it feels as if I'm right there along side the characters and going through the same things. The writing is just that vivid! And you're breaking my heart in so many ways (which is a good thing, in this case XD) It's all so harsh in this world. And the chemistry and dialogue between the characters, I think it's brilliant. Like, Chaeng being feisty, Tzuyu being a mediator of sorts, and Dahyun who prefers keeping her head down. I like this tension between the School Meal Club. Then, with Mina and Sana. That MiChaeng moment was so uwu :3 And Sana taking care of Dahyun? It was so tender and loving and that one scene does so much for me than multiple chapters of other SaiDa fics (and oh boy, I've read A LOT). You gave so much insight, showing us Sana's past and how she and Dahyun became close. Ugh, I adore this fic so hard <3

Thanks so much for another satisfying update, authornim! Good luck on your exams! :D

Chapter 2: There's something delicious about so much misery... I absolutely love the hopeless atmosphere X) And something tells me that Dahyun's putting her brother on a higher pedestal than he deserves? I dunno. It's just the vibe I'm getting so far. Again, this is brilliant! I'm looking forward to more :) Keep up the ace job, author-nim! Happy writing!

Chapter 1: This is impressive and intriguing. Great world-building and detail. I felt oppressed alongside them as I read. Great work on that! The writing and the ideas are amazing. Really well thought-out. Shows intelligence! Hooked already and you have my support all the way, authornim! On to read the next one :)
