Because I read this story on Christmas (merry Christmas to me) and I haven't stopped since. The author really puts the bitter in bittersweet. But seriously guys, please go read it, it's a freaking masterpiece. It's one of those really special stories that will not leave your mind for a very long time and I seriously cannot express how much it touched me (hence I had to make a video to get it out of my system). I've never been into polyamory relationships (apart from the occasional threesome smut), just because I had yet to find a fic that wouldn't make the relationship too far-fetched and unrealistic. And here it is. And man, does it work. I don't know whether it's the element of apocalypse, which puts a lot of things in a different perspective, or the author's ability to understand the nature of these relationships, and very likely both, but does it freaking WORK. So if you have any reservations towards polyamory (or this particular trio being involved together), happily throw them out of the window and follow the white rabbit. As for the video - I was planning on editing this story as a trailer, like I usually do, but since the story is about 90% character development and 10% plot, I figured I could do something like a tribute/short movie/artistic summary(?) - whatever this is. I really hope the video doesn't suck and everything is understandable. You guys know how one has to hassle when there is only so much footage you can use. Btw. I know it might seem like I spoilt a huge chunk of the story including the ending, but I thought long and hard about it and I really think that a lot of it can be assumed just after reading a couple first paragraphs and the tags, and really the most important part and the reason why you should read this story is the whole journey from point A to point B. I fucking applaud the author, because the fic could have gone really bad very easily, but it had everything to make you fall in love and then tear your heart out. It might have been the Christmas melancholy or the fact that I related to Yoongi's character a lot, but I swear to god, by chapter 2 I was tearing up and by the end I was full on sobbing. This doesn't usually happen to me, so it really says samething. Just the theme alone, fucking hell. I have no idea how the author got through it, having to write close to 80k words I think. In short, my heart hurts, my head hurts, so please go read and leave some love to the author. And since I'll probably not have much chance to speak with you in the next few days, happy new years, guys! Take care ;). P.S. I really hope I didn't make any grammar mistakes, again sorry for my English if you see any. Oh, the constant struggle of a non-native speaker. I'm still waiting for the day when I edit a video and I am sure that every line I wrote is the precise meaning I wanted to convey. Where is Santa when you need him, srsly.
