title: two’s company, three’s a crowd (but we’ll make it work) ship: suho centric, sulay, suchen & beginnings of sulaychen word count: 4.5k words warning: mentions of near death experiences (drowning), unresolved polyamory dynamics. notes: written for round 4 of 91daes, cross posted on lj & ao3. 91daes is such a precious fic fest to me and i was really happy to see that there was a round 4~ the prompt i picked up was: domestic au + ot3, baking, magic and though i tried, it came off as more soulmate au + magic and ot3. i had a pretty good start with writing this but lost the feeling halfway through which meant that i scraped a few ideas here and there and reworked through most of it once more.
it seems that I can’t write good endings and I didn’t want to rush any resolution of issues since it wouldn’t seem very realistic. Also, I’m not familiar at all with electric shocks and so what I’ve written is probably really far off from actual facts to fit better with the narrative!
this fic is un-beta’d so all mistakes are mine, also I’m sorry for the weird switching in tense. shoutout to H for cheering me on even in the tougher times.
summary: Junmyeon figures that if love were the ocean, falling in love would probably be as scary as walking into the large body of water.
“I went into the ocean without knowing how to swim, and went to you, not knowing how to love.”
