life's purpose

All they have is just an outline of their lives.

Foreword

What's the thing that's remaining after the fire? (multiple answers possible, and give a reason why!)

  1. Ashes
  2. Dust
  3. Water
  4. You

 

Correct answer: d., because I'm smoke, and smoke comes after fire.

Information:

Title: life's purpose

Genre: angst, slice of life, friendship (at the beginning.)

Pairing: Woohyun / Myungsoo. Any interpretation is up to you, be it Lhyun or Woosoo.

Warnings: characters with slight depressions, questioning of life, use of cigarettes, character death, Spade!Soo, school!au, gay tensions at the end

a/n:

Well, this one came up when I asked on my AFF tumblr (heartsparkseu) the following:

            Give me a pairing and a prompt and I'll make an oneshot about it.

And a wonderful anon gave me this:

            Woohyun / Myungsoo, smoky outlines of fading lives

Aaah, this anon must be someone who knows me. Why? Because a. my dark ship, b. the prompt oh my gosh, and c. those two. (which leads to a but anyways.) So I dedicate this to this lovely anon. Dear Anon, if you read this, please comment with "I would've answered with b."

Enjoy your read, everybody!

Chapter 1: For someone who typecasts Myungsoo as Woohyun's little , I was actually expecting something else before reading this. Surprisingly, it turned out decent. No, not just decent. This is actually the best fic I have read from you (the ones I have read, at least). Simply because, this fic has a profound purposeful meaning.

This fic, for me, centers on how death affects friendship on an involved perspective. A perspective who wants something, but is promised by the cruelty that there's only ashes after a fire burns out. Yet, even those that are left will be blown away by time, no matter how immemorial. (Yeah~ I'm sticking with A.)

What I didn't like was those series of "I love yous" after the starting paragraph. It was a tad bit unnecessary, and it gives a different outlook towards this fic. It sticks out like a sore thumb. And speaking of the first paragraph, I still can't fully grasp that allegory.

Chapter 1: Ah this is beautiful :)
And depressing. It gives out this faint aura. keke. It is thought provoking too. It's really hard to accept death. Death is never a good friend of humans. Thanks for the story :D I really like this one.

Chapter 1: This was beautiful, to say the least.
I'm actually still at a loss for words!

The beginning is interesting, at first i found it irrelevant, then everything clicked together.
Everything combines together to create something so deep, yet vague!
Maybe it is so deep that is seems faint! (nonsense, i know!)

I like how everything in this story suits and is derived from the prompt.
Honestly i haven't seen a story where the prompt is used so vividly as this.

I think Myungsoo's company isn't depressing, it's the idea of losing him.
And yes, Sungyeol, i think what you did was stupid! I know you were thirteen,but poor Soo!

I cried at the end,
"twenty percent to pray means eighty percent to hope at medicine"
it was sad, but i believe you ended it with sparks of hope.
I believe somehow Myungsoo was meant to survive.
But when i think of the begining and how he didn't get to continue his fifth 'i love you' i think it contradict with my alternate end!
Heck with character death, i refuse to believe Myungsoo dies!
He just couldn't finish his letter because he had a breakdown.
"he hears the deep laugh which sounds like life"
yes!

Thank you for writing this! <3
(sorry for the long incoheret comment!)

Chapter 1: I am happy, though it's more sadness than anything else, heh.

I lack coherent words, but this was flawless. Urgh, you had me tearing at the end (you've had me tearing so many times now) and just the poignant feel you have in your writing makes it all come together. I love actuallyhuman!Woohyun and Myungsoo, something I can never actually manage, and biffle!Myungyeol was equally as amusing. Thank you, thank you Elly.

Heh, but you knew, in the end, it was me.

I shall read this, Elly!
