Man... Loneliness just hit me really hard (and that means that you nailed this 1st chapter, hard).

Ahh I love this already ❤️

The picasso of fiction has come!Can't wait for the next chapter.Sincerely,Your hardcore fan

love, love, love! this dynamic is A+++, so glad you wrote them as switch taekook <3 i’m really looking forward to the rest!

Jeeeeesus this is sooo good..damn..Can't wait for the next ch...♡♡

Oh my poor heart. Soooo gooooood

Sharleena does it again, sweeping my taekook heart.

I AM NOT OK I CAN ALREADY TELL THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE A MASTERPEICE THAT WILL MAKE ME FEEL SO MANY E M O T I O N S OMGGG

You blew me away and it's like I KNEW to be prepared for some sadness but I was expecting it to be outright in your face but no, see what you did was insert this discreet little moments where I, the reader wasn't prepared to be sad and yet am because it happened so subtly and was worded so to the core (Tae being lonely and yet wanting jungkook to feel less lonely? Came for my LIFE) !! I'm so excited for this work, just cus I know that you're going to carry it out so beautifully :,((( WAH amazing, take all my money!!!

WOw this fic is gonna be incredible I can already taste it!!!! It's gonna be an emotional rollercoaster but i know you'll capture all the nuisances beautifully!!!!Thank you so much for writing this!!! I can't wait for the rest of it!!!You're wonderful & I love you!!!! Take care of yourself darling!!!

KSksjfjfn. I AM READY FOR THE FLOOD OF EMOTIONS THIS WILL BRING ME (am I really tho? Probably not). Like the parts of loneliness already hit me. So I gotta get it together for the next chapters. Also I always love when people talk about how pretty and golden taehyung’s skin is. The way you described it, i luuuuuuv it. <3 Taehyung and Junkook switching, !!! GOOD STUFF !!! Anyways I love it, keep doing what you’re doing because YOURE DOING AN AMAZING JOB <3 <3

omfg this is another masterpiece from you..gonna wait for the next chapterpls dont make it too long famFIGHTING!!!

This started off light and fun but then you hit me so hard with that realness. Ugh I empathize with kook alot in this fic , its so hard understanding why you're lonely and it's even more difficult to fix. Loved the authenticity!Ps I'm an art how so this is like everything to me rn. This line in particular "he likes being called that. By Taehyung. Who looks like gold thrown on a canvas." Reminded me of one of my fav artists Gustav klimt. Klimt used actual gold leaf in his paintings and I couldn't help but imagine tae in his style:)

MY TEAR DUCTS ARE R-E-A-D-Y!!! This was really really good as usual, can't wait for the next chapters!!!

Sharleena you wonderful writer, this was so good! As someone who is struggling with the same feelings jungkook is, I think you nailed the descriptions of loneliness/helplessness/sadness. And ofc the smut is well done too lol. Switch taekook is the best taekook. I’m looking forward to the next chapters! (even tho they might make me cry)

Damn this is one hell of a first chapter, can’t wait to see where this goes!

Sharlee, back at it again with the angst build-up and ready to fuck up our shit. What did we do to deserve you~? Jungkook is feeling so lonely and uninspired, so of course this is the time Taehyung is going to come into his life. I can feel the angst coming, I feel it in my bones...and also because you told us it was coming but still-On a lighter note: “That's a thing architects do, right? Designing the inside of the flats all the same, takes less time.” Yes, talk architecture to me, your architecture student daughter. Gimme more of this while you continue to show us just how much of a weeb you are, just like (Switch!!!)Taekook~I still don't forgive your Vine memes. Or bringing Zac Efron into this anime discourse. And every time the Tae vs Zico dick measuring contest was mentioned, I just had "IS THAT TRUE, YES? OKEY DOKEY YO" playing in my head. To sum up this chapter: Tae and his Gucci Ass

I can't wait for the next chapter ♥

Wow, this first chapter was truly amazing, well-written, one of the fewest fanfiction works i've read that doesn't seem to add smut scenes to its plot just because. Loneliness is a really complex subject and i'm super curious to find out how you'll continue to work on it. And i've also loved the way you've portraited the characters so far. Keep up the good work!

Sharleena, I'm literally on the verge of tears. This is beautiful--the way you write Jungkook and what he's struggling with is so raw and real and I relate to it so much I'm nearly crying. The way you write is beautiful, the smut is beautiful (when will I ever??), just that's the best word I can think of for this fic: beautiful.

oh my god!!! im in love with this story already? like loneliness part made me so sad though :( i hope they’re both okay!

"gold powder on his cheekbones" All i could think about was Rihannas Fenty gold highlighter. Okay but this is going to be a good one. I can kind relate with Jungkooks feelings and I am happy you aren't sugar coating anything and keeping it as real as possible.Can't wait for the next update! :)

Sharleena back at it again with another masterpiece! I love how it's funny but it's slowly ripping my heart, like it's dragging out the pain as much as it can

I LOOOOOOOVEEE THISSSSS aaaaaaahh omg so blessed so grateful etc the anime references ON POINT also i had that same “Your name” discussion these days lmao how dare they,, i’m so... aNYWAY. this is everything i love, the best quality taekook, i love you

Bro, this is so damn good. Every thing you write turns to gold and I swear you have some of the best taekook on this site. And as the whitest white person there is, I feel like I need to apologize on behalf of like, everyone???? Fuck Hollywood tbh

Oh boy, helplessness .. that's such a shitty feeling. Poor Kookie :( I love Taehyung’s solutions for cheering him up though ;)And I love Taekook’s dynamics. It's really enjoyable :) Now go feel not lonely together you guys.(I must say the racism kinda took me out of the story twice …)But other than that I really liked it and I can't wait for the next chapter!

Okay hi cutie, I love you, I know you're married (I've seen it on your Twitter) but I still love you. That love you have for great authors. I hope it's okay. First, lemme tell you about myself, I was sick and done and fucking pissed when I was scrolling my tl on Twitter and I saw the post of a DEAR friend of mine (Lookingathimhurts) saying people should read that. So I listened to her, blindly, and I never regret it when I do. Dude, I've even turned my computer (fucking shitty computer) on to put that comment. Cause I'm a mess when I comment, I like doing it well for great stories and most of the time, it's messy. But don't we all love messy? Oh and again, I'm super sick so if it doesn't make any sense, you can blame it on cold.So, first. I love putting comments you know, but I'm not onto comments like "OMG I LOVED IT, THE ANGST THE SMUT! THEY ARE SO-" because I guess you understood I loved that since I'm commenting, I'm more into details, how you wrote it. That's the difference between fics and great fics. Most of the time, all authors have great ideas, what is proper to one or another is the way the idea is developed. Lemme explain. Getting drunk, deadly drunk and talk about problems is the basis, but I don't know how you made it, it's not cliché. And wow, I'm amazed. You know (maybe because I relate a bit) I like the fact that Jungkook feels bad, but doesn't know why. I mean, it's something so original yet so true, people don't know first what makes them feel like shit, they don't know that if they seem to be jealous it's because they seek happiness and can't find it. Because sometimes you just want to have a goal and someone by yourside (and maybe it's because I relate too much) I just love how you speak about it. This story is psychological and I like it so much, it's so interesting seeing how people can function. Plus the atmosphere is not heavy, but not light. We are instantly put in the story and that's great.You're great, your writing is good, it smooth I never stumbled while reading, it's easy yet super detailed and I like it. *terf is clapping and giving you an award* I love the Taekook dynamic, they seem already so close yet not at all since Taheyung doesn't open up. Jungkook talks easily but maybe because he wants something from Taehyung, Taehyung can't give him. And well, GOD BLESS YOU if only all Taekook authors were to write switching. World needs switching couples so hard. The smuts are great, thanks for feeding us so well, I like how they are dirty and filthy with each other yet so respectful after hihi that's cute. They are cute, I know it's getting heavier after (I'm asking for it please, make it heavier, SO HARD) and I'm looking forward to reading that. I don't read unfinished fics usually, but when I do and find a precious one like yours, I'm blissed. This fic seems to hold serious things, and that's why I like it that much I guess, it's not pink and cliché. It's just normal, Taehyung having issues bc his parents didn't approve his trip, because of Jin I guess too, because artists are always so moody and angsty and people can't understand them. Taehyung needs to be helped more, but since maybe no one can help him now since no one understands, he tries to help Jungkook before he falls just like him. That's beautiful. Your story is beautiful even if it's 'dark' it's because it holds so much feelings and I don't know if you get what I'm saying but I cherish stories like yours, with serious issues like that. It's the first time I'm reading you, I guess I'll have to read everything you wrote as well, I'm happy I found you.Sometimes, when you look at the sky, you start wondering things, way too deep things... when they were outside the club it was beautiful too. I love when things gets deep, way too deep (and you can definitely read that in a perverted way). I love your metaphors (and oh, I'm french, I was suprised when you talked about Nice and Brest since usually in stories characters only know Paris hihi and oh, I have never eaten snails either EW looks gross). Poor Taehyung tho, he seems to have lived things quite hurtful, I'm looking forward to find what happened to him.

I love it when you promote your own works within others, it just gives me more to read of your perfect writing ❤️❤️ Wish I could leave like 1000 kudos for you

Wow, this story really hit home...the hard way. Thank you tho, I hardly ever read stories that deal with loneliness and depression in this way. When JK was reflecting on helplessness I felt like crying because that was too relatable. And the very last sentence about Tae, it hurt me so bad because it was too real. Anyways, great job as usual! i've been reading your stories for a while and I always loved the way you write. The PotC x Penelope Cruz and Chanbaek references were hilarious. You are one of the best authors around here.I'm excited for what's coming, kudos <3

is the title inspired from Cant Pretend by tom odell????!?

why does this it me so much? SHFRJFNIOD I HATE IT no that's a lie its great. ITS AMAZING

This fic is EVERYTHING!!! :) I always love you characterizations, but this one is so far my favorite. I love the lonely artist trope so much and the way you wrote Tae here is absolutely beautiful. Also I love how Kook discovers about his own feelings and desires - it makes me relate to him so much. I adore your writing and I'm always happy to read anything you post I can't wait to read the next chapter I'm sure I'll love it :)))

OH MY GOD STONY IS DEFINITELY THE SUPERIOR SHIP AND NOW VKOOK AGREE WITH ME. I love the way you wrote their dynamic, and their dialogue seems like something they would actually say. On a more serious note, the themes of loneliness and helplessness really struck me, especially jungkook’s feelings. I honestly can’t express myself very well but I felt my chest ache just as I imagine Jungkook’s might have, before he met with tae on the balcony.

the haikyuu reference lmao, i tought it was just me seeing things but i see it was intentional

This fic really hit close to home - with the loneliness, depression, hollow and empty feelings... You did a beautiful and amazing job. Thank you to gracing us with a deep story and giving Taehyung and Jeongguk a well-deserved ending.

I feel all the emotions and I wish I wish I didn't... Plus, I adore your writing style. Much love from a random girl on the internet

I seriously cried a lot during this fic. I felt the raw emotions of two tormented human beings. One lost in his own familiar world and the other too wounded to feel and communicate love in its own normal way. I actually even felt love radiating from the love making scenes. I felt like I was intruding on something or even violating a couple's privacy. I felt deeply connected with what you've written and for the first time I did not actually love the fic because it has one of my fav idols in it but because of the actual plot. I seriously do applaud you for this work. I also want to thank you for keeping it real you know. Like the dilemma Taehyung lived and the angered side of Jungkook . It was just so damn well balanced. Especially how you portrayed their vulnerability. This is the first time I ever comment on a work and I just want to keep going on and on about how realistically written this was. If I had the chance I would have published it and I am not saying this to flatter you but it is really the truth. You are a talented author and I hope you'll bless us again with another work and maybe even I will purchase your book one day, who knows!. All the love as always -W

Fisrt of all, heck you for that lost sentence, my poor babes uGHI'm already loving this so much and I think it deserves more love!!

I hope this ends with them being realpy together and that would be 2 pess lonely people in the world(Oh wait but TaeJin. I'd like to see that first hehe)

i am fuckingdeceasedwhen i read ur chat fic i dijdnt expect u to be this goood at writinglike i feel like i cat breatg

Honestly, I don't even know what to say...The way you write, it really strucks a cord in my heart. Anything you write does. All I can think of is, you got talent, real fucking talent. I hope you never forget this

this is heavy like you said. and it's only the beginning. i wonder why taehyung's been lonely for so long. and jungkook too~ maybe jin is part of the reason why taehyung's been lonely?

Have you ever read something and thought "yes. This is it. "This is it.

I really need to ask: that quote about the lamp posts - was that a made up thing or did someone actually say that because it’s so beautiful (just like this fic FYI)

This is absolutely amazing :''( This fic is incredibly toching I love it so much. Also it has the bestest ending possible <3

I feel the same way I get lonely too Idk I want someone to love me but life is a bitch but good chapter

i hope this doesn't sound creepy.this is, by far, one of my utmost favourite fics i have ever read. i don't know what it is, but i love it so much. i remember reading this months back, but i didn't have an ao3 acc so was unable to comment but now i do!!anyways, i find taehyung's character so mesmerising in this., like i don't know what it is?? but.youve.depicted.it.so.well.they way jeongguk and taehyung are depicted makes me SCREAM what the HECK its so CUTE besides all of the angst of course.also, something about taehyung painting in the louvre makes me nut, him speaking french is a fucking kink although the plot isn't something very drastic or anything, its written and explained so well and i can imagine it so perfectly. what with all the little glimpses of his french life and little depressed self and how jeongguk (kinda) helps him.i don't even wanna comment this because i could keep going on for houRSbut yeah, when i read this, i was so mesmerised.this is probably one of the best things I've ever read like. thank you, for writing this masterpiece

This fic is a masterpiece. It wasn't just about Taekook ok. I really appreciated how the friend group played a big role of supporting the main characters!!!! I was deeply touched by how realistic the descriptions of Taehyung's and Jungkook's emotions are. Obviously, life will not always be happy, we will experience hardships and feel sadness, but picking yourself up or trying to, that really shows maturity. Also the mixture of the holy trinity, angst/fluff/smut was just too well done. My fic-reading heart is satisfied! Ahh my words are failing me now but I just had to comment on how much this fic has affected me <丶´Д｀> Thank you lovely author!

Ilove ths story! I can relate some ofbthe part of the story. Oh gosh. Iloveu authornim canni say this story is an art. Ilove how you can show the every character's struggle how they face it. 100/10

Leaving kudos once is not close to being enough. This is definitely now my all time favourite fanfic ever. It hit me so hard, the way you described loneliness throughout the story was so genuine - I fell in love with the way you wrote the characters and the plot and just fell in love with the fic in general. I read your other stuff too, hands down my favourite author. thank you so much for this masterpiece
