notes: once again, love

[hwarium]

hahahahahaha this was actually supposed to be a warm up exercise for another longfic, and a short break from you can be king again. And here we are.

I thought I could get it out of my system quickly because it was based off a personal post I wrote in March that was already 5000w, but then my overachieving brain had to adapt everything to Seventeen, interweave two plots, and make sure everything aligned according to narrative logic.

Most of the details were written from life, either parts of real relationships I experienced, the stories I picked up from friends, or the stray work of creative non-fiction. Definitely mixed and matched and multiplied so don’t look too closely into it~
