A/N: The crackship that hit me over the head this year... I wrote this in a frenzy, self-conscious that people would go "wtf is this?" and yet totally believing in the concept. And you can definitely still go "wtf is this?" but I'm quite proud of how this story came together and grateful for the lovely readers it found <3

ao3 user elliebell (Naladot) outsold... who's doing it like her??!!

but seriously you really outdid yourself with this fic (as you do with everything you write!). you capture idolverse in such a sharp and unflinching way, and it makes us readers really sit back and think how we are complicit in the pains of the voyeurism that comes with being an idol. in the end, like you said, i also just really wanted taeyeon to find happiness!! glad that you are proud of this one because it's really such an amazing work ♡
