Title: Progression
Rating: G
Pairing: Luhan/Sehun, Jongin/Sehun
Length: 700 words
Summary: Hi. I'm Sehun. I'm sad and a little broken.
Warning: (highlight to read, but better if you don't) unmentioned terminal illness
A/N: Not something I've done before and will probably never do again. Searching for images, editing and working on them took up a lot of time. More than I thought it would. This fic is really, really special to me. I worked on it in writing and in art work, which is something I never thought I would ever do. (I'm limited in talents ok ;; don't judge me too harshly ;;)

I strongly suggest reading this story on a PC because the different fonts might not be seen on a phone.
Also, do wait for the images to load ^^ Don't worry though, they're not high resolution so they should load quickly!
I'd also suggest listening to the track "Silent Partner" by Ether which inspired this. Whatever this is...

Progression: Yesterday

My therapist gave this to me. To write in.
I'm not a writer.
Here goes nothing.

Hi. I’m Sehun.
I’m sad and a little broken.
I don’t want to die.

This is Luhan.
He is yesterday.

Luhan is tangerines.
He is dreams - sweet and salty. Pine and mint.
Luhan says I’m the best thing that ever happened to him.

Luhan always asks me

But all I know is how to die without dying.

Luhan is yesterday. Yesterday means past. Past means gone. Just like Luhan.

Luhan was.
Past tense.

He was sweet tangerines, pine and mint. I was the best thing that ever happened to him. He told me to live, even though he knew we were both dying.

This is the place he took his last breath.
I’m scared it will be mine too.

Luhan loved me. I love him.
Past and present.
I love him but I don’t want to die.
I want to stop loving him but I don’t want my heart to stop beating.

This is GORGEOUS. This format and the images and the simplicity of the words they all just meld together into one charming fic! I'm amaaaazed! It's visually pleasing and it only adds the pain of the heart strings being tugged, definitely great for those who prefer seeing than imagining. I can imagine the torture of that too though. OOOOHHHH THIS IS SO PRETTY. WHY? IT MAKES IT ALL THE MORE HAUNTING.

AND WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOUR TALENT IS LIMITED? LIES. I need a thesaurus for the next updates, damn it.

Thank you! :'D I had it all written down easily but the images, THE GODDARN IMAGES!!! They've made me suffer so much! Editing is no breeze I tell you. I have so much respect for artists Dx

I also like this short, direct sentence structure ^^ I'm glad you pointed it out because this is the first time I've written something so short and it's been wrecking me so much Dx This fic is heavy on imagery instead :<

It's visually pleasing - I was goop here :3 Thank you! ♥

AHH THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL! i can't even begin to imagine how long editing took you, but the effect really does feel like a journal. and plus i really really love how simple it is?? the one thing i hate is when i have to break out my dictionary (or google, lol), for long, flowery, slightly pretentious fics.

will you be writing for selubration this year?? your hunhan fics have always been my favorite! <3

Thank you! ♡ istg looking for photos is such a pain D':
+ omg I can relate to that so much!! Half the time I'm not even sure if I'm pronouncing the word correctly so I literally go asdkjalsd and jump onto the next word, b/c at least I'm getting the gist of it OTL

I have every plan to write for selubration again!! (ง'̀ヮ'́)ง I only hope rl won't interrupt me Dx
Hopefully, I'll be seeing you in selubration too? :D
