Description

The story of Choi Minho, a scholarly traveler who is used to fleeting encounters, and Taemin, a nomadic warrior who can't lose anyone else.

“I don’t just want to see you from afar.”
“You don’t have to fight me to see me up close.”

Foreword

Based on Prompt #77 of the summerof5hinee fanfic fest on Twitter
"There was a point where we needed to stop and we have clearly passed it, but let's keep going and see what happens." -from a meme

It ended up being quite the serious fic for being based on a meme... To the person who has submitted the prompt: thank you for inspiring this story! I hope you (and everyone else) like it.

Just a head's up:
In this story, Taemin is quite a bit smaller than he is in reality and Minho is slightly taller.
you can imagine the top of Taemin's head just so reaching Minho's shoulder.
In numbers: Taemin at ~160cm/ 5.2ft and Minho at ~185cm/6ft

Enjoy!

 

Here a map that might help with orientation... or not? idk This is my first take at a proper fantasy fic so please be nice >< <3

Chapter 8: Such an interesting perspective and concept - a bittersweet ending but realistic - everyone wants that happy ending but that isn't reality for sure...I'm very excited for a sequel - will our Minho be troubled about leaving Taemin behind??

Chapter 7: I can't wait for your sequel. I have subscribe to your Shinee Fanfic community discord channel, but I've no clue how that work. lol

Chapter 7: Very touching chapter - I love Taemin's determination to not regret Minho - I believe he will be able to do it!

Chapter 6: Taemin has an old soul but maybe that's the only way he can be with all he has been through - I know they will end be parted but I can't help wondering what would happen if Taemin left with Minho on his adventures??

Chapter 5: A sequel to this story??? ABSOLUTELY!!! This story is amazing, but left me wanting more... So a short sequel would be great... or at least an epilogue. ;) (I know... I'm always bugging you for more ...lol ;) )

Chapter 4: Poor Taemin... to be able to dream of a beautiful future shouldn't be something that scare him... (but it does make sense in his clan once you know about their customs unfortunately...) :(

Chapter 4: Taemin is holding such deep sadness - will he fine some happiness with Minho?

I actually read it in the other platform.
You have painted such a different atmosphere and had meticulously weaved their love in the context of that culture. It is so beautuful.
They went on their separat ways. But what if they encounter each other again. Would it have a different ending? After all, Taemin's community doesn't really settle in the same place and Minho travels all the time. Will they still find that love again? I'm getting excited with the possibilities. Please give it a thought. Pretty please!!!
