I currently have 3 Top All Time Authors, bbe1989 is the one that essentially got me to love fanfiction. She writes mainly Taoris (Tao/Kris, members of kpop band Exo). Some of her best works are:
Love: A Sonata in Four Movements (M) Basically Kris is a jerk conductor and Tao is a new cello player for the orchestra. The entire story, hell, the entire plot is a cliche. It’s what bbe1989 does with that cliche that makes this so amazing. I still cry at the ending. It’s cute, it gets a bit raunchy, it tugs at the heartstrings and really shows of the author’s writing ability.
Tongues (M) Tao has recently divorced and his friends send him on a trip to Spain where he meets the young medical student, Kris. This fic feels so real. I have also cried to this. God. It’s like an old romantic movie, I can practically see it unfolding before my eyes. It’s vivid and striking and somehow manages to strike nostalgia into my heart when I have nothing to be nostalgic for. Read it.
Burnout (NC-17) Holy cow *fans self* this story, as bbe1989 always seems to manage, takes smut to the next level. Dear lord. It’s a work of art all round. Somehow it strikes that delicate balance for me, making this most assuredly Porn WITH plot. Sooooo NSFW. I won’t give anything away just click the link (it involves Kris as a race car driver and Tao as a model, and if that doesn’t convince you...I’m sorry for you.)
Those are my top three bbe1989 fics, but I highly recommend everything she’s written. <3
It was the year 2039, and Yifan wasn’t quiet living anymore.
But that didn’t mean he loved Tao any less.
Note: Zombie AU. I’m in love with this fic. Like, seriously.
Once Upon a Dream
In a world where fairytale marriages are common and expected, Kris follows the advice of his fairy godmother to travel for seven days and seven nights, to climb the highest room of the tallest tower - only to discover that this particular Sleeping Beauty is NOT asleep, and most definitely NOT female.
Note: This inspired me to go back to writing my Fairytale AU fic. This is amazing at every aspects and I can’t even explain.
A Little Less Than Perfect
Kris falls so hard, so fast, so blindly head over heels in love with the pole dancing instructor next door that he completely overlooks the fact that the other man isn't ...all there.
Psycho
Tao’s stepbrother Kris loves him a little too much. But maybe Tao likes it that way.
Note: Hearts, flowers and blood, lots and lots of blood. Loved this a lot.
These are my the top 4 but all of this author’s works are wonderful, that’s why I read them. (I don’t usually read Yaoi.) Read them here.

Summary: What Prince Yifan doesn't know when he saves the life of a young savage man, is that the 'savage' is actually a tribal chief's son - and that by saving his life, he enters into a vow of marriage, according to their tribe's laws.
They don't even speak the same language.
To say that Prince Yifan is distressed would be an extreme understatemen
Author: bbe1989
I've just finished reading it. Honestly, Author put together motives which are used frequently in the fandom (or movies), so all plot twist aren't very surprising. But Gods, it's so well-written! Charas never act out of their amazingly developed and detailed characters. There is balance in plot - you have everything in right amount: romance, angst, action (with entwined problem of prejudices, which I would call stronger - chauvinism, coming from lack of knowladge and understanding). With beautiful descriptions of people, landscapes, emotions it's hard to resist clicking "next chapter" (I couldn't!). And I almost forgot - Author also CREATED language especially for this fic (to understand whose it and what does it look like you totally need to read it!). May I add that last few chaps brought me to tears? :)
But I think that epilogue was on one hand intersting but on the other - unnecessary. It doesn't make much sense if you won't read Author's tumblr post about it. It just didn't give me a right vibe, but this as all above is just my opinion. Feel free to disagree but read this fic - it's worth it!
Summary: What Prince Yifan doesn't know when he saves the life of a young savage man, is that the 'savage' is actually a tribal chief's son - and that by saving his life, he enters into a vow of marriage, according to their tribe's laws. They don't even speak the same language. To say that Prince Yifan is distressed would be an extreme understatement.
Summary: Kris spent long, tough years training to pass his master sommelier test. It cost him his wife, and left him balancing life as a single father. So, of course, he takes his job - and his life - very seriously. On the flipside is their newest hire, some little punk named Tao who smokes heavy, cusses like a sailor, and plays loud and inappropriate hiphop in the kitchens. So... how the hell does someone like that cook something like that?
NOTE: Shit I can not even tell you how excited I am to finally have this fic qualify to be recced here it is my obsession it's so excellent holy shit.
Summary: Formerly number one both on the streets and in bed, racer Kris finds himself unwillingly outed by a vindictive ex-girlfriend as the first gay driver in the import scene. Rather than playing damage control, his manager plans instead to capitalize on the media attention with an even wilder idea - pairing the first openly gay driver with the first male import model. And he knows just the man for the job.
I’d say blame it on Nostalgia Critic and his Disneycember episodes that I’ve grown to love criticizing the stuff I read and watch, even so much as fanfictions that I’ve read when I think no one ever gave a thorough review about any fanfiction whatsoever. But then again, I’ve tortured bbe1989 long enough to force her and wait for me to finish a circus-themed fanfiction—which has its plotline done but I want to develop the characters and writing more, just throwing that out there, so I thought I should give a little something. It’s not circus-themed, but I think she’ll like it okay.
DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE FIC YET!
1. The Premise
2. The Plot / Story Development
3. The Characters
4. The Ending
Let’s cut to the chase, shall we?
1. The Premise:
I think I should give a background for this one first.
Bbe1989 was one of the newcomer writers of fanfiction in AFF when I was around that caught most Taoris shippers with her fanfictions, Psycho, and its sequel, Hitchcock. I said newcomer because Psycho got attention as soon as it came up because of its dark themes and the hit of Kris’s possessive-obsessive nature towards Tao that was very much apparent in her two works—and, boy, did it show! I’m not giving anything away here, but the twist that she done in Psycho, even though the plot was largely driven from the movie Stoker, pretty much fixed whatever I thought what was wrong with the movie and also giving it a necessary pace. On top of that, she’s one of the writers on the dark genre of Taoris other than Icat92—Silentium, anyone?—and I—although I don’t really want to admit that I wrote Deception, mainly because I was extremely mad about people’s reaction towards non-fluff stuff and I just wanted see Kris act loving and violent at the same time, dammit!
That said, I was shocked when bbe1989 picked such an odd genre to explore: a fairytale genre.
While I happened to love that kind of stuff, I avoided it when it first came out. It was based on Sleeping Beauty, for crying out loud! The laziest chick in all of Disney who doesn’t get to do anything even in her own movie and when she does, she’s singing about meeting a boy in her dream and she doesn’t even show for the second half of the movie, so I really don’t see why I should give her credit. I know, I know, I read the books on different versions too, so I shouldn’t be so harsh, but still… if you give at least something for the readers to sympathize for her, at least make it so I can at least care for her when she’s sleeping for that obnoxiously long time. I’ll shut my mouth about that version when she got raped by a king until she bore twins—weird, but I still sympathize with her, so it makes it okay.
Now here’s the thing: I ADORE dark fics. It gives a lot more freedom for storywriters to develop pacing, plot, and even ending. The reason I don’t read a lot of fluff is because nearly all of them end the same way: boy/girl meets boy/girl, they fall in love, some conflict or drama show up for a lot of chapters—I’d give them credit when the chapters are cut off for a coherent reason, pawn to B4, happy ending. With dark fics, you intentionally interact with the characters because they give you reason to pay attention what they’re feeling instead of just falling in love for some reason, you get to end your fic in a more creative way instead of slapping happy endings all the time, and you get to explore so much more unique probabilities and situations like the settings, the prejudice, the racism/religious topics—literally anything can fit her as long as you can deliver them okay. For example, who would have thought selling you soul to the devil would make such an engaging play or even a metaphorical example of humanity and its relation to God by creating a new form of human but the creator found him so horrifying that he calls his own creation a monster and left Frankenstein to fend for himself to understand humanity? Christopher Marlowe and Mary Shelley, kudos to you guys. Oh, and don’t get me started on Hamlet…
Now again, when bbe1989 decided she’s going to make this type of genre, I was heartbroken and told myself to stay the hell away from it—I mean, I was expecting something huge after Psycho! But within a few months and there was very little of works that captured my attention, I gave up and I said, “Alright, fine, I’ll give it a shot.”
Let me tell you, I’m absolutely happy that I made that decision, because I really, really loved it.
The premise and the plot are what I thought to be two different things: one is the main idea of the story while the other is how the story is delivered from beginning to end. In this fanfiction, Kris—the prince—wants to find his true love that has been predicted by his fairy godmother, Lu Han, to be someone with golden blonde locks and blue eyes, and while on his search he accidentally saved a male princess named Zi Tao who was trapped in a tower. Thinking that Kris is his one-way ticket of getting out and wanting to go with him in search of a princess, Zi Tao starts falling in love with the prince while being constantly reminded by Kyungsoo, his witch/fairy godmother figure that he needs to find his prince before time is up or he will be turned to a witch like the princesses who failed to find their prince on time.
THAT.
WAS.
FUCKING.
MASSIVELY.
GORGEOUS.
IT WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST IDEAS OF A STORY THAT I’VE EVER SEEN! I MEAN, THIS STORY ACTUALLY GIVES US THE REASON WHY THESE CHARACTERS SHOULD HAVE THEIR TRUE LOVES, AND A VERY LOGICAL REASON AT THAT, INSTEAD OF FORCING LOVE ONTO THEM TO HAVE THEIR HAPPY EVER AFTERS. THIS IS GREAT. THIS IS EVERYTHING I’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR IN A FAIRY TALE SO I’M GONNA SIT AND READ THIS THING.
So I did.
I love that the premise is something very unique and engaging and I think it speaks for itself for what I think about it. It’s unique and it captures interest—that’s what’s really important about premises, so it’s doing its best to create a great story and it shows. It’s not trying to tell us something that’s been done before and redoing it again as a parody for what had been great, but as something done magnificently eye catching for the world to read.
Overall, 5/5 for this aspect.
2. The Plot/ Story Development.
First of all, you know about the Sleeping Beauty. Everybody does.
The Disney version? The princess was given a curse to die by spindle pricking at age 16 but the fairy managed to weaken the spell because the evil sorcerer (according to Maleficent’s story, former fairy) did not get invited to a baby shower. This causes her to sleep eternally until a prince gives her a true love’s kiss to break the spell. Not all that bad—aside for the princess, which I still don’t forgive unless they gave her something to develop instead of giving her a dance sequence with animals dressed as a prince—but it could have been worse. It was one of the early Walt Disney works, and it does have plenty of good moments as well as terrific animation, so it still had something memorable.
The original version? There are two and people constantly argue about which version is the original one. The princess still got cursed to prick her finger—by something, usually a spindle too—and followed straight to the wheel of destiny in which the princess then sleeps and the fairies put the people to sleep. One version has some sort of thorn forest preventing the princes from waking the princess and after 100 years a prince manages to defeat the forest and saves her. Another version has a king who saw her and lusts for her, so he rapes her in her sleep and she bore him twins and one of the twins sucks on her finger and the prick was pulled off of her and she wakes up. Okay, I give credit for Disney trying to make this a flowing story, because when you look at it, it’s like the whole kingdom just accepted that their princess was going to sleep eternally. At least the fairies in Disney tried to save her by disguising her as a peasant, but here, she’s still a princess and all they did was burn all the spindle in the kingdom. Did they not think that the big bad evil fairy might have some way to prick the princess? She’s magical, for God’s sake!
And then you have bbe1989’s version.
Good God, I LOVE that flow of this story.
There’s no loophole, there’s no actual conflict other than our two main character’s own problems—well, until the near end which is quite understandable, heck, there’s not even a real villain other than what the premise was giving!
It’s just fairytale characters actually just trying to have a happy ending like the rest of the crowd, and when they were worried that they’re not going to get it, it’s really understandable because this is how the world of fairytales actually works. They need happy ever afters because that’s what all of us want to get and when we fail to get it and when it even comes with a consequence, it breaks us deep down and to see two characters starting to dim when their hopes were beginning to fade are what this fanfiction is trying to portray. This is why we sympathize with them—I’ll be honest, I don’t give a crap if Kris doesn’t end up with Tao if it is what needed to bring a good story, but here, we need them to be together. You don’t see just our usual Kris and Tao and want them to give smoochies to each other or whatever—oh, no, you see two souls of the story that are dimming even at the beginning of the story because even though they both start off goofy at the start, you see them beginning to reveal themselves even though they were, again, merely fairytale characters, and start to care for them. You see their desperation, their happiness, their fears, and heck, even their misery.
And that’s just covering what I think about the sum of the story.
The beginning? Kris exploring the vast for the tallest tower to find his princess that according to the prediction—prophecy?—has golden blonde locks and sea blue eyes but finds Tao instead and begins to search for a real princess that fits the category.
The middle? A bunch of mixes of princess fairytales that constantly accuses the both of them are together—it’s actually more hilarious than how it sounded—and constant reminder that Tao has to find his prince in time so he won’t be turned into a witch while Kris begins to question whether or not he actually has feelings for Tao but refuses to pop the question, so Tao grew tired and another sleazy prince has the hots for him so the prince tries to make Tao his bride—this is actually a really disturbing scene—but Tao’s actually been turning into a witch this whole time and our princess escapes the sleazy prince.
The end? Tao was turning into a witch and Kyungsoo gave him a route that he says will turn everything better when in reality Tao’s pricking his finger and has been put to sleep by the spell. Kris finds out that it was too late to save Tao and realized that he actually loves him and wants to be his prince—crowning moment of tearjerker, I tell you. This and the kiss of true love was enough to bring Tao back to live and it turned out Tao has golden blonde hair and sea blue eyes after he was woken from his slumber. They all lived happily ever after. The end.
Okay. I take it back; there’s just one loophole in this story that I just don’t get: why does witch Kyungsoo want to prick Tao’s finger if he’s actually Tao’s fairy godmother figure? It was mentioned at some point that witches were trying out spells, but by cursing the princess to sleep by the time he pricks his finger and putting the kingdom to sleep—I’m sorry, but am I really reading a fairytale genre? Is there not any sort of motive? Not that I don’t like it or the stuff bbe1989 used to make this work at the end, but it’s kind of a bugging question, and for me it’s distracting and feels a bit forced. But then again, you got a few moments here and there that really pays off and tugs at your heartstrings at some point, so it’s sort of glossed over.
Now let’s go back to the good stuff.
I absolutely adore how this fanfiction was written. Usually most writers in this website would just get straight to the main plot and throw bits of romance everywhere, but I really like how it paces, how it takes time to explain the current situation that was new and unique that was placed such as when Snow White has turned into a witch at one scene. It’s kind of like watching How To Train Your Dragon—it’s a simple story that has been told over and over about some kid trying to prove his worth and he befriends a creature that they were trying to kill but Hiccup uses his smarts to stand out, only Once Upon A Dream paces more on the moments and lets you have a moment to swallow everything down and then afterwards you feel like you’re in a roller coaster when every single possible turn of events were thrown at you but you’re still amazed by it so you don’t mind it one bit. It’s amazing how in one moment you were questioning about what is going on in this fairytale genre but at the same time you actually feel for Kris and Tao and how desperate they were to gain what they want and we were shown just how tormented they were by each other.
I’m not about to give you people example of her usage of words, frankly there’s too many to count, and I honestly can’t choose even one because they all mash down pretty well. I think how bbe1989 wrote about Tao’s beauty under the sunlight in Kris’s view was absolutely stunning, though, because we can see just how and when Kris starts to falter in his determination on finding a princess and actually wants Tao instead of someone he doesn’t know. We can see why he would actually love Tao gradually from then on and the story is really clever at giving it time for Kris to rethink his decisions and when his heart is set, you really support him because you were given a clear sample of what was going on his mind at the time whenever he looks at Tao, thus making the chemistry between them very legitimate instead of just something forced or lust or even obsession—yeah, that’s another thing, I love it that bbe1989 just gives a series strings of sentences that was made clear that Kris really wants Tao out of pure, driven love for him, just like how all fairytale genres work, and just look at how plausible the whole thing between the beginning and the end are!
Now, when I saw there are some titles of the chapters that are brought from other fairytales, I thought this was just going to be clunks of stories smashing against one and another to show that, yes, this is a fairytale genre, and who doesn’t love a good sneak at other worlds of fantasy? …Yeah, no, I don’t wanna see that. But what’s interesting here is that these trips to other stories are used to show just how desperate Kris was to find his princess and to give him time to explore Tao’s quirks more because although everyone else thinks Tao is beautiful and charming, Kris doesn’t, and, boy, does it have fun at picking on the fact that he’s slowly and surely having ideas about romance that involves Tao. But, hey, as much as I love talking about the characters, this is not the section to do it in.
Two moments that I really have to give real credits for, though, are Tao’s transformation as he’s slowly giving up at finding his prince and giving himself away to the twisted but pleasured feeling of witchcraft. You can just feel that he’s slipping away. He just wants Kris, but when Kris was actually going to do it, he refused to acknowledge it. That’s his breaking point—that’s when he’s starting to lose everything that was him as the sleeping beauty and he left everything to become this witch because his fears were slowly engulfing him. When he does reach this, you can’t help but feel as if you want Tao to come back and beg Kris to do everything he can to save Tao, but you know that Tao is the sleeping beauty and it’s inevitable that he was going to sleep eternally sooner and later, so the tension was that no matter what Kris does, Tao will still be in danger right at that point. Also, kind of a mood whiplash, but I actually heard Lana Del Rey’s Once Upon A Dream in this scenes, and when great songs just start popping from your head, you know it’s going to be a great scene.
Oh, and, of course, the last tower scene.
GOOD GOD I HAD TO WEEP ALL THE WAY WHILE READING THIS SCENE.
The idea of Kris walking up the steps of the tower with Tao in his hands was UTTERLY AMAZING! He’s just climbing up there, hastily, slowly, while he looks at Tao sleeping and the writing while the scene was on was chilling. It described Kris’s feelings bulls-eye and when you replay it in your head, you would actually play up Kris’s desperation and there’s that ‘What have I done? What have I done? I’m so sorry. I shouldn’t have done that’ voice that replays in your head when you read this scene. To sum it up, this scene is heartbreaking.
Well, that’s it. I love the pacing, the flow from beginning to end, the series of events, nearly everything was perfect. What’s not can easily be looked over because, well, by the end of the day when you’ve read this, it’s not going to be what you remember as opposed as how you felt about this whole fanfiction in general. Still, I would have loved it more if Kyungsoo’s spell was a little more reasonable.
4.7/5 for the plot. Don’t hit me, folks.
3. The Characters
Unlike Princess Aurora who was not even the focus of the movie, bbe1989 really gave her all to keep the focus on the actual main character and the relationship he has with his reluctant prince. Now, I’m going analyze the characters from minors to majors first, because, really, there’s a lot to talk about.
I’m not going to talk much about the supporting casts like princesses, that douche prince who wants to get into Tao’s pants, because let’s face it—there’s not much to talk about. They’re just there and doesn’t do much, but they’re pretty okay because it kept the plot moving and gave our main characters time to figure things out. I say I’d love to analyze more about them, but they’re effective for the story, and that’s really all I have to say.
Lu Han, Kris’s fairy godmother (godfather?) must have been a ton of fun to write. I love that there’s a special scene of trying to give a Minseok fairy a bath that just shows him how kooky he could be but at the same he holds up to his position as a guardian to the prince. That said, though Lu Han plays an important role for only a few moments, it really does strike up to you to question whether or not this guy is really good at his job, considering just how odd he was. Well, how come such a weird character actually comes up with a prophecy that Kris has to marry a certain person that he categorizes? No wonder Kris is starting to doubt that this prophecy is true because, well, for one thing he starts to fall for Tao and Tao looks nothing like the person he described, but before he breaks up that Kris’s true love was only that one certain person, it broke all hope that Kris might have to actually have a chance with Tao. Well, we’ll get to him in a minute.
Kyungsoo is this clash of Maleficent and the good fairies all in one. He was of course a former princess who did not found his prince on time, and had been a witch ever since. While I don’t necessary like him, he’s pretty so-so. He’s the witch that guides Tao through and through and actually wants what’s best for him and when he sees that putting him to sleep was the solution, he just straight up does it. His design must have been very cool and I would think of him to be fantastic, but yeah, he’s not sticking out much for me, but if he does for you, that’s great and there’s definitely nothing wrong with that.
Okay, so we get to the main characters: Prince Kris and Princess Tao.
Kris is what I thought to be this elephant in the room that slowly vanishes as the story soon develops.
I don’t get this guy’s motivation at all. He’s a prince that wants to have his true love, but his true love comes in a form of a princess with golden hair and blue eyes—good thing this isn’t real life or that means we’re going to have court half of women’s population in 2014. That’s what he wants and that’s all he does at the start of the story. You’re going to be a king either way, so I don’t see any point on you being this jerkass that pushes Tao off every time he gets close to you, so what’s your problem? I’ll admit, he is what the story needs to get going and his characterization is sort of spot on, but I really don’t see why he would do such things just because he’s a prince. Is it just because he wants a princess that he really cares for nothing else? I guess if it is what it was aiming for, then it’s terrific, but, man, there’s really nothing else that can be done about him, huh?
Oh, don’t get me wrong, he’s awesome when the story progresses and you’d have to read his parts to understand what I’m talking about here, but yeah, the only thing that bugs me was his motivation which again, feels kind of forced. I guess it just reflects on people’s desire to find someone to love, which I think is actually just good in the least, but it’s just mediocre.
Tao is our main character and I really liked that bbe1989 kept her focus on him. It’s what Sleeping Beauty was supposed to be about, not battle of the fairies, not princes trying to come and rescue her, it’s just her story. Tao is this casual princess—he’s beautiful, he’s quirky yet very persuasive and charming, and he just has this frail ray of hope ticking behind him that moves him around alongside the plot. He needs a prince and it just so happens that the one he falls in love with is a prince who wants nothing to do with him and continues to pursue other girls while Tao sticks around and waits for Kris to finally love him. Sheesh, you’d think people in our time would just tell Kris to piss off, but no, Tao actually has the patience to put up with Kris and instead of throwing snarks at each other, they actually share their back stories with one another which made them interesting. He’s also constantly being reeled in for his own tragedy—the witch transformation, remember?—and you can hear him desperately needing Kris to save him and just pop the words, but after all this time, he was heartbroken because the prince never reciprocated his love. What gets my attention the most is that he’s really reeling in the readers to feel what he’s going through and realize just how strong but at same time just how fragile he was.
So yeah, I’m not gonna pick on anything that much. Not every work has to be perfect, it just has to be memorable. I’m not aiming to offend anyone, it’s just my intake of the story. 4.3/5.
4. The Ending
So we came to this last tower scene. Tao sleeps forever. Kris is helpless because he loves Tao and wants to Tao be his but at the same time he’s still confused because Tao still looks like nothing that his true love was predicted to be.
And then he pulls a ‘Fuck you, destiny; I love Tao anyway’ which was just awesome.
If bbe1989 had not given such a terrorizing twist, this ending will be so predictable that you will puke your insides out at the mere sight. I’ll tell that I’m more of a bittersweet ending sort of person and if this were my story without the twist, I’d give it a worse ending by have Tao literally sleeping forever and have Kris rule the kingdom alone because it would be a lesson that when you really love someone, you need to pursue him/her and tell destiny to fuck off because I love that person and no matter what anyone says, I only want him/her until the day I die.
Good thing it has a twist.
Because with that twist, you remember that this is the person that made ‘Psycho’ and ‘Hitchcock’. You remember that in Psycho she made Kris and Tao literally have assassin genes that made them go haywire. You remember that in Hitchcock this is the same person that made us think that playing hangman with a real life person a cool thing! And with that you remember that with this innocent, fairytale romance, she could twist and turn it into something so unrecognizable of a Sleeping Beauty twist by giving it a darker ending to punish Kris’s (and Tao’s) heart, but instead she goes with the fairytale formula and gave this story a happy ending.
…Which was relieving, to say the least.
Now this is why I considering the story’s end a significant aspect to a good story. One of the examples that has great endings with great plot and premise (in fanfiction, anyway) is Arbirtrage by fumerie, a Kai/Kyungsoo fanfic about the both of them able to move into different times depending on how hard they crash while driving a car. Each of them use their power for different reasons but there’s also a series of explanation of the whole situation they were in, but the greatest thing about this fanfic is that the thing actually loops from end to beginning. I’m not going to show a terrible example of fanfics with great plot but terrible endings because I think that would just be straight up bullying, but let me just say that I think there are endings that are supposed to be great, but at times it clashed with the story it was trying to tell.
Well, let’s just say that I’m glad that Once Upon A Dream gave the story the ending it deserved and I really love for that.
5/5 for the ending.
Now let me just remind you that a masterpiece doesn’t have to be perfect. There are flaws, but they are some flaws that could be looked over because you’re not going to close that tab with disappointment—you’d be too busy leaking tears of sadness and joy all throughout and from what I can tell, I’ve seen this fanfiction once and I’m definitely reading it again someday soon.
