Allegro et adagio

Description

Non "allegro" et "adagio", "allegro" existe malgré l' "adagio".

It's not allegro and adagio, it's allegro in spite of adagio.














 

This is a story full of two people rambling in the dark, the paradox of yin and yang come to life when they can't with each other, but can't when they're apart too.

The curtains go up,

dancers step foreward,

one last performance,

but will the audience clap

this time...?
















 

Foreword

Okay, so I haven't posted in AFF in a while now so it feels kind of awkward to pop out of nowhere, but here I am with my oversized KaiXing or LayKai, if you prefer so, one-shot, hoping that you guys will enjoy it a lot. I wasn't confident about posting it at all (pseudo-writers existential crisis and skills doubting and ), but I guess I wanted to share it with you so much and that got the upper hand in the end. Anyway, feel free to hate on me if you find it a waste of time in the end!

Like said, this story is a one-shot, not an on-going fanfic. It is, however, one too long to be posted in one chapter so I will divide it into a few parts, I haven't still decided on how much.

Also, a HUGE thank you to Yoannka for making this amazing poster for me, I owe you one, man, it's perfect :3 *sends air hug*








 

  • Disclaimer: I do not own any of the people in this story (yet!, but I have lost no hope and who knows, maybe some day :D ), but the plot is entirely mine and any minor similarities to other stories, if there are even any, are by all means coincidential.






 

  • English is my second, wait, scratch that, third language and I will try to edit all mistakes before posting, but if there are still any unclear points or grammatical/punctual mistakes, I am sorry.

I will now shut up and let you read in peace. As always - enjoy! ^^

Chapter 6: i had forgotten that i had read this story. it's so sad the ending but it's so true how much you can break a person but not until they are dead, possibilities are there either way.
This made me so sad, it's so well written that it gets to your feelings like if one is being part of it.
However, i loved it and i liked a lot how you developed their personality.

Chapter 6: NGL when Kai just hung up after Yixing said what he was going to eat I started cussin' like, did you forget, ya doof?? Sighs... My poor bias had to go and see his end like that. TnT ♡♡ as much as I loved this (and loved to hate the ending) a small part of me wants to see an au to this. NOT that I'm asking for it!! I'm just voicing a thought here, because like.... poignant, but what would have been had this not been their tale? What would have been had Kai been more attentive to that little detail? Would they have had their happily ever after? Or would things catch up with them? Aaaaaaand I'm thinking too much.

BUT SERIOUSLY. Loved the way you wrote this. ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡(x1000000)

Chapter 6: I am literally a sobbing mess right now! This story made me so emotional and I love Yixing so much here! And I hated what Kai did to him! Damn! This story really got to me! I am speechless because what you have written is so beautiful I can't even express in words! Thank you so much for this story author-nim! Never stop writing stories like that!!!

Chapter 6: GOOD ING GOD THIS IS-
No, wait. I have to start properly.

Day after day, tried to gather up the courage to finish reading this. I knew it was angsty. Knowing you, I knew it was probably going to end in utter tragedy. I was prepared when I opened this.
It didn't turn out like I expected though. I expected a good story, a good ending, something good. Something calm and...well, nice, as a whole.
But this thing, this thing is pure perfection, and I'm not even exaggerating. I'm not going to talk about the writing, since my opinion is obvious, but Holy ing Pantsless Kim Myeongsoo! This thing is a masterpiece. Every other EXO fanfic, every single fan fiction - HunHan/KaiSoo/KrisLay or whatever they write these days, can go and itself, because THIS, this is the only story that I've actually cried to. Real tears, you know, imagine that. Not just teary eyes, but real. ing. tears. Napkins included.
Kai's character is holydeargod perfect, and I love it so much that I'm going to get married to it. Or to this story. Can I do that? o_o Sehun is one of the best supporting characters, seriously- I mean, how can you build a plot so well with a character we basically know nothing about? Yeah, takes talent. Plenty of it.WowingWow. Though I gotta admit I am super pissed off at Lay right now. <_< How can...ugh. When Kai tells you he wants to break your heart, you let him. It's that easy...but no, he had to go all Chinese on him and kill himself with ing STRAWBERRY PIE. Only a confused Chinese kid would do that. Ugh.
Okay, so, in all honesty, if anyone, EVER, asks me about my favorite fan fiction, I am so giving them the link. Oh, and can you see that the comment is almost lacking of emoticons? Yeah, I'm that serious. I love it. Scratch that, I ADORE THIS MOTHERING PIECE OF ART. If you don't become a pro novelist, I am seriously judging you. Holy ing God.
PS: *whispers* I'm still not shipping LayKay though.

Chapter 2: OHHHHHHH MAY GAAAHD ME LOVES THIS SOOOO ING MUCH OMG KAAAAI HAS THE BEST PERSONALITY EVER OMFG KILL ME NAO WHY IS THIS STORY SO GOOD WHY DID YOU NOT TELL ME THIS WAS GOING TO MAKE ME SHIP LAY AND KAI OMFG.

I can't write a coherent comment right now, so just know that I will murder you for this. It will be a murder out of love, of course. Not that you would care once you're dead, but I have to point it out. <_<

Horrible. Everything is absolutely horrifying. You know why?
Cause you freaking told me this would be bad. Hell, you promised I'd be disappointed. And NOW LOOK AT THIS ING PIECE OF OH-MY-GOD-NESS THAT I HAVE TO WAIT FOR (even longer than I already did)! Do you like to torture people that much anyway? T_T

Okay, first of all, I freaking love this, I'm not even kidding. If the beginning is this good, I seriously cannot even imagine the rest. I have to say I A-D-O-R-E Jongin's personality so far, he's so...weird, in such a painfully good way; he's the kind of character I always love in stories (shallow bastards woo-totheing-hoo!), and here...ugh, I can't even...ugh. I love his personality ,'kay? It's great how different Lay and him appear to be, and this is exactly what makes the story so intriguing for me: The personality clash. Oh, I love those. Drama,drama,angst. And...well, the writing is amazing, but that's only natural for people with talent *cuz yes, you have talent*; also like how the development is going at a natural pace - it's not too fast, yet it's not horribly slow.
As a whole, I cannot believe I'll have to wait AGAIN, but I'm willing to do it, 'cause this story is a huge freaking promise, really. It's like I'm getting engaged, but better. Can I get engaged to a story? I honestly can't express how much I like it, especially the artsy-druggie style of writing. It's so amazing, and if anyone tells otherwise, I'm going to murder them. Bye.
