Ahh one of my fave Taekook fic! I love it so much that I read it in just one sitting. The plot and storyline was unique. The pacing was perfect! Nothing went by too quickly, or too slowly. Taekook just fell in love in the most organic way. I felt their emotions, the anger, hurt, love, betrayal. It was truly a masterpiece!!!

So...haha! Man..I'm speechless after reading this fic. Basically this is part of the symbiosis series, this takes place four years after symbiosis. It was great seeing Taekook have settled and how comfortable they already are with each other. Communication is really the key in a healthy relationship and whew the scenes where steamy as hell.

This one was a classic Taekook fic that everyone knows. I don't even know where to begin but this fic really deals with some heavy material that may be triggering to some of the readers. There were some scenes where I totally had a break down and felt every emotion Guk was feeling. My heart ached so much. You really have to forgive yourself to be able to forgive others. I love this so much coz I love hurting myself. If you're into heavy angst, this one is perfect for you.

WOW...I have no words. I felt so exhausted after reading this continuously overnight. I was like WTF!! The plot twist! Ahhh! The fact that I don't even have an idea how to play cards let alone how to gamble. The plot and the world built around this fic was so intricate and well thought of. And the characterization.. every character has their own past and struggles their dealing with like whuuut!! A masterpiece indeed and a fave of mine.

This will always be one of my favorites. It was heartbreakingly beautiful. I was completely and utterly broken after reading it. I felt so attached in this fic that I cried myself to sleep for few days. It was just so painfully spectacular and realistic. I love this fic with my whole heart that it left an imprint in it.

A delicate and amazing story yet poignant. The characters were so uniquely portrayed that I couldn't guess which one's who. Tae's journey of recovery was so beautifully written. You don't expect it to end where it did, but you wouldn't want anything else.
"There are some things that we can never forget. But they just become a part of us, one that we don’t think about anymore. They become something that we no longer allow to touch us. Separated by too much time to mean anything anymore."

This fic is just wow..the emotional rollercoaster that it was. I really love the pacing, the characters, even the relationships between the minor characters. I also like how realistic this was, Taekook made mistakes and really hurt each other but manage to work it out in the end. And it ended beautifully just how it should be.

Loved everything about this fic, from the choice of words, to the movies, to characters' personalities and their struggles. Once again my mind is blown at the sheer incredibility of the author's writing. I can't form any coherent thoughts after reading this coz I cried so much. That moment when Guk almost confessed but then Tae said he had a girlfriend huhu! I was devastated.

It was breathtakingly beautiful like Prague. This fic holds a special place in my heart since I love traveling and got the opportunity to visit Prague once. While reading this, it felt nostalgic like I was teleported back to Prague. I imagined them walking in a quaint street going for a date and crossing the Charles Bridge during sunsets. Taekook falling in love in a foreign country with language that they both don't speak.

I love travel AUs so much. For once, I thought Taekook weren't going to see each other again, and would leave their relationship as an experience that happened during the trip like a nice memory. But thanks to the writer they still had their happy ending and will explore the rest of the world together.

This was so good and relatable. The characterization and storyline was great and it felt so real. Like, especially with Guk being unsure about his major and dream while everyone around him had a concrete goal. And the progression of Taekook's relationship was very realistic. It was so painful when they had their misunderstandings. I cried huhu.

I can't express enough how beautiful this fic was. It was written very well, it played out amazingly, and it was intense. The descriptions and their emotions were so intense that I felt like I was the one experiencing them especially the angsty part of the story. I was such a crying mess haha!
