The Ups and Downs of Their Lives

Description

A compilation of one-shots focusing on JinDy in the perspective of either Junjin or Andy. The stories may contain angst, comedy, friendship, fluff, general silliness or the usual Shinhwa-induced insanity. The gist is that JinDy will be the main focus of these stories. Some or most of these stories may be AU, and the ones that are AU are labeled in the table of contents.

Table of contents: [Will be added as I go along]

1: Remember (AU) [COMPLETED]

2: Love (AU) [C]

3: Dance (AU) [C]

4: Memories (AU) [C]

5: Bittersweet (AU) [C]

6: Push (AU)

7: Happy

8: Right (AU)

9: Dawn (AU)

10: Lie

 

Foreword

I'm crazy enough to make this even though I'm practically drowning in deadlines. I should receive a medal for being the craziest out of all my classmates. So, I owe gwendal738 a big thank you for suggesting the idea of a JinDy one-shot compilation. I had thought about the idea, but thought I was crazy since I already have a lot of things to do, but since she said that it would be a good idea (AND JINDY NEEDS MORE LOVE <3) so here it is ._. A BIIIIIIG shout-out to my friend who provides me with all the crazy ideas that I shall use later. Love ya, girl :D Seriously, I love you and your brilliant, brilliant mind.

(SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!)

So, a gist of what all the chapters I have initially planned out contains: 1-10 is a bit angsty and serious, 11-20 is all the fluffy and friendship stuff, 21-30 is a free-for-all, 31-40 is for all the crazy ideas and AUs I decided to incorporate to this, including genderbend!AU. Man, I can't wait for the genderbend!AU. :D The only thing I love more than cross-dressing men are genderbend!AUs.

Chapter 5: Ho. Ly. Crap.

I should NOT have read this if I wanted to update my happy fics, because that just... that just hurt.

Everything. As I was reading it, I was biting my lips and holding my breath, silently praying that the goodbye would be just a joke, that maybe it won't happen, or that it will happen but not with much finality. And when I read the last sentence... Oh my god everything just flowed out. Instead of a big gasp, I let out my breath in a slow whistle. Is it bad that I felt... relieved, after all, while reading through this?

It was like my heart is breaking at first, and while I wished that it wouldn't be true, that the goodbye wouldn't be true, I couldn't help but feel... relieved. That's the one word that could describe my feelings right now. It's as if I was Andy, relieved to get out of a relationship I don't want anymore. Breakups are painful, but somehow... I wasn't about to cry with this one as much as I was with the other chapters, mostly because I somehow understood what Andy was feeling. No one can help the heart; if it doesn't want to love anymore, if it doesn't want to beat for 'the one' (or who you thought was the one) anymore, then it wouldn't.

This is just... beautifully heart-wrenching yet mind numbingly relieving at the same time. I don't even know if you're getting my garbles right now but this is just how I genuinely feel and it doesn't help that my mind is all dakldagsdgg. Yet another beautiful oneshot... seriously, reading your writing never fails to inspire me to strive to be like you, to reach your level one day, and to just keep writing and try to reach my readers with the emotions I want to convey.

Thank you for yet another beautiful chapter. I needed that push.

Chapter 4: Oh my god, my heart hurt after reading this.

HOW. WHY ARE YOU SO GOOD AT MAKING ME FEEL SO MANY STRONG EMOTIONS. I held my breath throughout the fic, hoping, HOPING that Andy would meet Jinnie and just get to know him, fall in love with him over again like he's done so many lifetimes ago, but when I got to the "Goodbye" part, I just freaking lost it.

jxkjsfhadsjkghlkahg YOU KNOW HOW MUCH OF A ER I AM FOR ANGST AND PAINFUL ENDINGS. And this just embodies pure perfection. And I really love how it ended, "And Andy doesn't have those dreams anymore after that." It gives a sense of mystery, makes you ask the question, is this the final lifetime that he's going to remember Jinnie? Or will he be like this again in the next lifetime? It's like... everything is final, yet not finalized at the same time. I sound cryptic, but this is the best way I could put it xDDDDD You get me, right? It's hopeful, yet hopeless at the same time. It's just... two things at the same time, and I can't explain the feels this gives me, and jkdaghhkjhjag let me just spazz over there in the corner

Chapter 3: This is beautiful, I can't really express it, it was amazing how two stories were going on at the same time in some way :D And When I was halfway into it I started remembering you had promised this was Angst, but I kept telling myself I was wrong, that it could end happily, so that's why the ending hit me even harder, I really cried a lot :( But I'm in love with how battle crazed Andy was, how obsessed he was with Jinnie, it was really quite haunting :D

Chapter 3: Holy-- I'm at loss for words.

The very last lines just... took my breath away.

Beautiful. Absolutely, mind-bendingly beautiful, as always.

Just. I can't with how amazing you are.

I was holding my breath, letting the images dance in my mind as I read through the whole chapter. And then when I got to the end... Wow. Just. Wow. It was like someone punched me square in the stomach and just forced me to let out the breath I accumulated all at once.

That was just. Breathtakingly, hauntingly beautiful.
