Penultimate

Description

Yong doesn’t trust herself to look back at Byul. She isn’t sure which could be worse, to look and see Byul staring at her, or to look and see Byul not staring at her. So she doesn’t. ||

or a moonsun angst fic inspired by Save Me

 

Foreword

Written because moonsun served up SUCH angst during Save Me and I couldn’t not channel that through fic of some kind. 

Set in a very distant future where Yonghee is pregnant.

If you’re a Horimiya fan, then you will recognize the line from the series that i borrowed for this fic. 

Title and the starting and ending poem is from ‘you are the penultimate love of my life’ by Rebeca Hazelton. ||

 

If you’ve made it this far, then remember to stream MMM+’s Save Me every day until August 3! While you’re at it, I’d really appreciate it if you left a comment or an upvote because those really motivate me to keep writing fic!

THIS WORK IS CROSSPOSTED ON AO3

Chapter 1: i love this poem and i like how subtly it intertwined with the narrative without being too 'in your face'. i guess moonsun fics have become so imbued with the usual moonsun honeymooners vibe that i actually found myself caught off guard with the 'one of them has a partner' twist. i like how it was in yong's pov because i think the way her character puts things into perspective for the readers is somehow more angsty? because she rarely self-pities, so it's extra heartaching when she stubbornly swallows down her own pain and tries to soldier through and act fine. i'm very curious about the break-up and if this gets a follow-up, i think it would be great to have something about that but in byul's pov! thanks for this wonderful read.
