OH MY FREAKING GOODNESS I WAS GONE ALL DAY AND DID NOT SEE THIS WHAT? I WILL BE BACK AND GIVE YOU A LONG ASS COMMENT PLEASE ANTICIPATE

[darkyulate]

I AM ABSOLUTELY OVERJOYED YOU PICK THE PRINCE PROMPT WITH THE HAND HOLDING THING. I am also also also so so so amazed how you made the prompt your own with the whole fantasy concept. Let me just enlighten you how I even came up with the prompt. In old times, a woman had to marry the first man who touches her hand because lol it's a joke now but I think they believed it back then that if you held hands you got pregnant LMAO XD

So originally, I wrote you a really long comment, filled with italicized parts of the fic but it got really long and embarrassing because I was spazzing and reacting too much from everything. I was even spazzing on my Twitter hahahahahaha so I deleted everything and decided to give you a shorter version of everything I had written with less italicization :)))))

I felt really sad that Joonmyun didn't even give the engagement a chance? Like the first day on he was dead set on looking for a way to break the curse and then Jongdae's just like there already setting himself up for it. Like IF HE HAD JUST GIVEN JONGDAE A CHANCE YOU KNOW? LIKE HOW JONGDAE WAS WILLING TO GIVE HIM A CHANCE????? :((((((((

WHEN YIFAN APPEARED AT THE START OF THEIR TRIP, and he's said he always knows, because he's been with joonmyun all his life, like man my feels flared up. Because of the recent events and just having Kris appear and just him being a know it all and just wow I almost cried but my eyes are in pain and maybe swollen so all i felt was a heaviness in my heart :(((( and I actually thought there was going to be some onesided krisho hahaha BECAUSE ID FORGOTTEN THIS WAS SIDE TAORIS

The side taoris also almost made me cry because of the recent events and wow :( so much pain you know :(

I'm not gonna lie and say the first thing in the riddle, i thought it was the story they'd written so JM didn't forget their mission or something. LIKE I WAS SO SURE. But then it turned out to be his gloves, which is cool too you know, and it made so much sense hahahahaha I guess that was maybe trying to fool me into thinking this way????? *____* because it worked it really did.

JONGDAE TAMING A DRAGON WOW JONGDAE YOU ARE MY IDOL. Let me shower you with gold and love. Like if he wasnt noble, he should probably be rewarded for his valiant efforts with A DRAGON *____* that could be his title when he married Joonmyun, King Jongdae, dragon tamer. THAT SOUNDS SO HOT RIGHT NOW ♡_♡

When they got to the cottage tho, I was so worried that it would end and I would feel cut short, because they kind of got to the cottage without much problem BUT THEN THERE WAS A MISSION FOR THEM that would take a week's time AND IM ALREADY IN PART 3 OMG WHAT AM I GONNA DO??? I really hoped it was longer lmao hahaha but this was 21k words and I realize that would be selfish of me to ask because I know how hard it is to write even just a few thousands SO WHAT'S MORE 20k? Right right? /pats you did good bb

Lol at taoris being busy, but I like in the end it was just jd and jm left to finish the mission, like how it would have probably been of and when they'd set out alone. It kind of gave you the feeling it was something only they could achieve together yihee.

JONGDAE HUGGING JOONMYUN AND THEN JOONMYUN NOT LIKING AS JD TRIED TO LET GO. LET ME JUST SOAK IN MY FEELS.

[darkyulate]

Joonmyun watches him leave. He doesn't move until Jongdae is gone, so far away he's nothing more than a tiny speck in the distance.
WHYYYYYYYYY WHYYYYYYYY WHY????? I AM WHAT LIKE WOW JOONMYUN YOU ARE SO STUPID ARIA ALREADY SAID FUDGE FUUUUUU I WANT TO HIT YOUR HEAD UGH

LITERALLY THO I AM SO PISSED AT JOONMYUN'S STUPIDITY. I understand that maybe he had his own reasons for letting JD go but Aria made it so clear that her curse didnt mess with fate AND IT ONLY MADE SURE THAT HE JUST ENDED UP WITH WHO HE WAS SUPPOSED TO END UP WITH.

But I guess, if I really think about it, like their parting and reuniting kind of proves her point. BUT YOU KNOW THEY COULD HAVE SKIPPED ALL THOSE YEARS OF BEING APART :(((((((((((((((

"And then," Joonmyun says, exchanging a smile with Jongdae, who's curled up comfortably into his side, "well. That's a story for another day."
I'LL PAY GOOD MONEY TO FREAKING HEAR IT FUDGE MY LIFE. HAHAHAHHAHAHA

I LOVE HOW SEHUN IS THEIR SON AND HOW THEY JUST TOLD THEIR SON THERE LOVE STORY HUHUHUHU MY FEELS LIKE WOW

I cannot thank you enough for my gift fic. Really God bless your soul and everything. I have been quite stressed the past few days and was depressed yesterday due to the events of fandom and this was really the icing on my cake, the cherry on top of my sundae. Thank you for picking this prompt, thank you for writing me this fic. Thank you thank you. I feel like I can die now haha.

(PS: I tried to make sure my comment was the longest so hopefully I succeed. my comment was too long I had to cut it in two. IM CRY. Come reveals, please be prepared AS I WILL SLAUGHTER YOU WITH THANKS AND PRAISES TEEHEE)

EDIT: sorry for any grammatical errors but hahahhahahhahha i read it through briefly and didnt realize I didnt make much sense. I'm so sorry. But this is me fangirling so hard on your gift for me. Thank you very kamsa!
