Foreword

Author's Notes

Wenrene for a change because why not? :)

Seems all I do is write stuff based off of my favourite music because I'm creatively bankrupt lmao but GO LISTEN TO OH WONDER IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY I URGE YOU. They're both so so amazing and I love them dearly and with all my heart. Genuinely their music has brought me out of some dark places in my life and they need to be shared more with the world.

I dunno how many chapters this will have, but probably 16 (one for every song on their first album + an epilogue) but they'll be in a different/muddled order - basically whichever I think is best for the purpose of the story. And maybe I'll add extra idk

Also since Wendy will be a singer in this she'll probably be singing songs by Red Velvet or The Weeknd because while I can kinda write stories I'm not creative enough to write my own fake song lyrics ok looool

Anyway, hope you enjoy :)

P.S I'll probably add a trigger warning to certain chapters because there will be mentions of depression and likely medication as well, so y'all can know when it appears <3

P.P.S. HUGE HUGE thank you to the amazing BETCHA Graphics Shop for the poster, which you can find below:

Chapter 14: <span class='smalltext text--lighter'>Comment on <a href='/story/view/1428242/14'>Technicolour Beat</a></span>

this story was such a good read for so many reasons. yes it’s well written, and the plot is so well thought out, the story and the exposition is just so well paced — but that’s not what makes this story great. it’s the characters themselves and the way you have portrayed them. they felt tangibly human. most stories i read feels idyllic in a way that’s unrealistic — and that’s good too, after all we read to escape reality. but there’s a something about a story that mirrors reality that makes me feel comforted. the anxieties of the human heart and mind remains either taboo and romanticised in the fictional sphere. but in your story you somehow made it clear that there is a normality with pain. and my favourite part is probably the idyllic sceneries, contrasted with human worries. in a way it’s almost paradoxical — the way such a beautifully crafted world surrounds two people who are just trying to learn to live with their pain and fight through it.







ANYWAYS. such a great read. probably one of the best ones i’ve read in a while. thank you author-nim 💗💙
