okamiwind's 2020 fic commentary

title: bang bang kiss kiss (seho) 

word count: 7661 

commentary: i can't believe this was so long ago? i wrote this in 2020? shit. like it almost doesn't feel real, how long this year has been. regardless, this was one of my first forays into pure fluff. i don't know. i go back to it sometimes and i feel warmly towards it. i think the relationship is very nice.  

a line i loved: 

“You have to get a fifty or higher to win,” Junmyeon says. “The pressure is on.”

“I thrive under pressure,” Sehun says.

“You cried once because you got a bad performance review at work.”

Sehun turns sharply, gesturing with his skee-ball. “That was an extremely bad week for me, and you know that.”

“Roll the damn ball,” Junmyeon says.

word count: 2781 

commentary: i still love the magic of this fic. i think it's very charming, and i really enjoyed writing it, though i can barely remember it. reading back over it, i am happy with it. it's very light, and i think that's nice. i'm happy emily liked it. i think. 

a line i loved:  

Baekhyun sighs wistfully to the frog before it leaps off the platform of his hands, and Baekhyun sighs even more wistfully, a pitiful sound echoing out from him.

“Not even a frog wants to be friends with me,” Baekhyun moans.

 

title: upside down and tipping over (seho) 

word count: 5357

commentary: sort of can’t believe this fic is so short? i think i did a great job setting up a universe with so few words. im not satisfied with the whole “mortal has to wait his entire life to die just so he can be with his immortal” but what the fuck are u gonna do sometimes, you know. i think this is a very pleasant little story. i really like the visual of the red bamboo forest, and i think the river being like, a portal between the worlds is very cool and interesting. 

a line i loved:  

“Well, go home! This is my forest,” Junmyeon says quickly, hurriedly, angrily, waving until a flock of black birds fly out from under his arms. “I am the witch that lives here. Don’t come back, do you understand? Don’t come back!”
