Hiraeth (Formerly "The Fallout Playlist")

Description

Hiraeth is a Welsh concept of longing for home. Many Welsh people claim 'hiraeth' is a word which cannot be translated, meaning more than solely "missing something" or "missing home." To some, it implies the meaning of missing a time, an era, or a person - including homesickness for what may not exist any longer. It is associated with the bittersweet memory of missing something or someone, while being grateful of that/ their existence.

Foreword

Hello!~

Thank you for taking interest in this story.

This is a 4 or 5-part series which will have different songs as chapter themes. I would like to request y'all to listen to the song/s before reading the story and try to really grasp the lyrics of the songs. The song title/s would be the chapter titles as well. Updates will be posted once or twice a week.

This series is pretty special for me since I've been quite emotional throughout the whole process. I don't even know why, but I just find myself feeling things while thinking about how this story would go and how the songs give off the exact emotions that I want for the story.

I would also like to apologize beforehand if you end up finding this fic to not be as well-written as others. I did try my best, but sometimes when I'm overwhelmed with emotions, it's kinda hard for me to express it with words. I ask for your understanding~ :)

Constructive criticisms are very much welcome. Just leave 'em all in the comments section.

Anyways, enjoy!~

 

ADD'L NOTE:

This was originally supposed to be a 5-part series max. But for some reason, I ended up drafting up to 10+ chapters. It may be short chapters, though, so I hope y'alls are still on board. ^^

I also changed the title of the fic from The Fallout Playlist to Hiraeth. I dunno. I just fell in love with that word. It's beautiful and painful at the same time.
