read my pride and joy here

this is going to be more of a deleted scenes and thought process post rather than commentary and analysis on the actual fic because then we would be here all day like All Day

ok let's finish this commentary!

i knew that the story wasn't over when i finished writing leap of faith. it was basically just the beginning of the exploration of their dynamic... so i had to continue. i consulted the great hyojin experts on the matter of hyojin and how he fit into the sanghyojoon dynamic and began work not long after leap of faith was posted.

the goal of the way his tears taste was to really get into hyojin's psyche and just shake him upside down. i think hyojin is a very interesting person to write a character study on, especially in the context of his relationship with seungjoon, because so much of his life/personality traits/neuroses can relate back to seungjoon. another thing about writing hyojin is that he is someone who's very harsh and critical of many things and himself in particular, so the writing lends itself to the dramatic and the visceral.

in terms of writing style, this is just as experimental as leap of faith in my opinion but in a different way? i tried to incorporate a lot more brutal imagery and phrases into the fic to reflect how hyojin can be so bitter/rough sometimes. and you can see that this fic is broken into pretty distinct scenes that have a contained metaphor, because that's how this fic came to me, in brief scenes that i fleshed out and stitched together to make a more coherent narrative.

Your faithless love's the only hoax I believe in

here we go. let's take a look at two of my best works this year: leap of faith and its sequel, the way his tears taste.

i think i have to start by saying that leap of faith is mainly inspired by my love to lean on by my good friend changgus. i read this fic and then suddenly felt so inspired to write, especially for hyojoon because we had been discussing hyojoon not too long before i decided to read my love to lean on. i highly highly recommend it for honestly anyone to read because it is just. absolutely beautiful. it's a masterpiece and you can read my comment on the fic itself for more of my thoughts. i would just be remiss if i went on talking about leap of faith without mentioning this first!

another big inspiration behind leap of faith is crush by richard siken. i have read it before but after reading my love to lean on i gave it another reread for further inspiration and boy did it hit me like a truck. in this fic, my writing deviates a bit from my usual style and gets a bit more experimental/abstract because i had just finished reading crush then and i was really feeling the poetry vibes, you know?

so armed with a new drive for writing something hyojoon related, plus a new experimental flair in my writing style, i dove into writing this sanghyojoon. initially, it was really supposed to be more of a sangjoon, and the focus in here is heavy on sangyeon and seungjoon's relationship specifically but as i have found out in the process of writing this and as you can see from reading this, hyojin is inextricably present in their dynamic and story. but i'm getting ahead of myself.
