my (semi-filtered) reactions and some (semi-thought-out) thoughts on luke's personal story 4
summary: this was all frigging PHENOMENAL i loved this so so much and im kiiiindaaaa regretting playing luke's first because no way in HELL can any of the others top this for me ajshfvakjhfa.
non-summary full 2k word rundown under the cut
first off, can i just say that mc is SO SO STRONG for living with THIS for what seems to be anywhere from a few days for a few weeks
the fact she strung together an intelligible sentence afterward, shes stronger than i am. i wouldve evaporated on the SPOT. ANYWAY...
mc's dynamic with sphynx and luke is So Entertaining. secret identity trope but the love interest isnt the one with the secret identity, it's the love interest's hilarious (and INSANE?? playing thru this we see a lot of aaron's skills as sphynx and omfg hes just as bad as luke at being OP with investigation and hacking. how does he have time for this while being a surgeon, a father, and a husband???) pseudo-dad.
like
aaron, internally: hehe, fucking with luke, hehehe :)c
luke, internally: ugh...stop embarrassing me.... >:/
mc, internally and ready to fuckin throw hands: IS THIS GUY BOTHERING U, LUKE? 🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪
i think luke/mc is so good because both of them are trying so hard to be the other's protector. like, in several luke cards, mc says this outright; she wants to protect luke's smile, luke's happiness. she wants to protect luke wholly. and luke obviously is very protective over her as well. it makes me so so emotional. but also it makes me laugh when employed in less high stakes moments like these jhvaksjhfajk
moving on: luke drives me INSANE. HE MADE HER A RING WHEN THEY WERE KIDS??? HE'S KEPT IT ALL THIS TIME??? THIS IS THE SECOND FRIGGING RING WE'VE BEEN TOLD HE HAS FOR HER I---
on a less lighthearted note: nami hidaki's entire case was brutal holy shit. this was fucked up, i wasnt expecting it to get this dark in a personal story but im pleasantly surprised it did because
1) the tension and suspense this case made was Incredible and i think it was pretty damn well done, in terms of emotional themes and suitably raising the stakes
2) nami's jp va was KILLING IT the entire time holy wow every time she spoke my heart BROKE
and 3) it led to this speech from luke (which came from his colleague):
which is just. oh Man.
i know this bit is succeeded by luke going "and thats why i want to bring light to the world" which tracks, yeah, that fits him 100% percent. but im struck by how this view of justice is so starkly different from artem's speech on justice at the end of post 6.2
my memory is a bit spotty but i rmr artem's core message being "justice Will come, what we do Still matters." meanwhile luke...justice and what he does still matters to him too, but hes very well acquainted with the darkness of the world. much too acquainted with it, even. he says he wants to bring light to the world because of this, but wasnt the entire point of that colleague's spiel about not letting the darkness consume one's self? maybe im overreading (im totally overreading) but luke is a victim as well. not by a criminal (at least not that we know of, yet....whO CONTAMINATED HIS MEDICINE ALL THOSE YEARS AGO?? I WANT ANSWERS!!!) but by life's circumstances. and, well, given the disposition we see from him in the main story 9 pv....i think luke focused so much on bringing light to others that he neglected to stay afloat from the darkness of it all himself
now, a brief commercial break from thoughts. i now need to simp real hard for a bit cuz.
hey, surely, i wasnt the only person who found the auction scene really hot, right? i know luke was just saying numbers, but he did it SO CONFIDENTLY THAT IT WAS HOT. IM NOT ALONE, RIGHT? SOMEBODY ELSE FOUND THAT HOT, RIGHT? PLS
AND THEN ALL THE ACTION-Y BITS
AAAAA lemme just compile all the simping in one go oh god
OK THERE, IM DONE, I MOVE ON
eric li umezaki is so funny. really, luke and mc? right in front of his salad? JAVKJSHFVAKJS
well, i guess it's not his fault that when mc and luke are having a moment, the entire rest of the world just fades out of existence....they are so in love im going to EXPLODE
but really, eric is so funny like.
AND THEN HE JUST DOESNT ASK. NOT NOW, NOT LATER WHEN EVERYTHING IS WRAPPED UP. luke's excuse is absolute bullshit, i know he saw thru that. i mean, how could he Not. luke pearce fuckin made a flash bomb in 5 seconds, disarmed and used a man as a hostage, and stared down an entire police force fearlessly. THATS....LUKE, THATS NOT NORMAL PI STUFF AJHVFKJAHS
but eric was just like ".....well i dont wanna make a dude like this angry and/or suspicious of me, I'LL LEAVE IT" and thats a very wise decision he made HAHA
and now it's time to get sad as hell
the entire scene of helping luke with his wound....
oh my god...
luke: //tries to make it all lighthearted
mc, watching luke be so used to handling his wounds: //RIGHTFULLY BURSTS INTO TEARS
theres just so much to unpack in that scene, i think i screencapped nearly all of it and tumblr's blasted 10 pics per post limit will nerf me so lemme put it in a list
luke didnt react at all stitching his own gash closed without any anesthetic, thus implying his pain tolerance to be high as fuck. so uh. if hes strong enough to not be affected by that....just how fucking painful is his illness??? his illness that always makes him react with pained gasps and him physically doubling over?????? HOW MUCH ARE THEY HURTING MY BOY???????
when luke starts to apologize to mc for making her cry and then the internal monolog line of "You don't want to hear him apologize. You don't want to hear his apologies at all. You try to hold back your tears." just...GOD....this scene is so good at being a heartwrenching picture of realizing someone u love has been going thru so much alone.
me thru tears when luke mentions his parents' accident: PLEASE, IM NOT STRONG ENOUGH....
okay fuck, wait, i have to put the screencap for this next one cuz i dont wanna transcribe it all but
oh my god this KILLED ME
it's a very heroic notion, it's a very Luke notion but also...."Why can't I be the one?" well, did it HAVE to be YOU. luke got caught up in the nsb at 16-17 years old. thats...oh god, please, that is too young to take on the duty he took.
this whole "fuck it, i'll do it myself" concept + the "make a deal with the world" it has such wonderful parallels with the plot of his sott card too. there are no gods to make deals with, he'll be the one to grant your wish. he'll be the one to fight the impossible fights
and all because he just...cares so much. too much.
on a less emo note
it rlly kills me that like, right after, he mentions with a smile on his face that he got locked in the trunk of a car with the big bads intending to kill him out in the countryside. HE SAID THAT WITH A SMILE ON HIS FACE!!! MY MAN, PLEASE, I KNO UR TRYING TO SHOW OFF BUT ALL I WANNA DO IS SWADDLE U IN BUBBLE WRAP AND KEEP U SAFE FROM THE WORLD
and then
as if the heavens had heard every indulgent prayer i sent out irt to romance tropes
they sleep
in
the
same
bed
CROWD FUCKIN CHEERS!!! CROWD GOES WILD!! CROWD IS SO HAPPY FOR THIS MORSEL OF FLUFF AFTER ALL THAT PAIN YAYYAYAA---
me, reading this, jaw on the floor at how foul of a move this was to pull after tender bed-sharing: this....is my villain origin story
JAKSJHFVAKJHFAS
okay now i ramble about the funny bits in the next portion b4 i jump into Pain, Anguish once more
sphynx/aaron: “I’m just disappointed that the police won’t let me write the script. I could’ve written a much more heroic story, like James Bond” jhvjHVKJHSFVJ omfg aaron drop ur ao3 username. i know uve got one, what with that line. or email me the draft of the action-thriller novel ur writing LMAOOOO
i physically bounced in my seat when i saw luke was in the waiter outfit eeEEEE I LOVE THAT OUTFIT SO MUCH. HIS DORKY LIL SHERLOCK NAMETAG OAUGGHHH
mc and luke: //having a lovey dovey moment alone
sphynx/aaron thru the earpiece: HEY GUYS....IM STILL HERE.....
mc and luke got TWO (2) STRIKES of being lovey dovey mushy in the presence of ppl who would rather not be thirdwheeling, HAHAJHAVKJSHFV
when luke interrupted eric by loading a gun skillfully and with ease........[insert simping emoji here once more]
okay and now......the Pain and Anguish portion
i already mentioned how fucked up nami's case is but holy fuck, it got more fucked up the moment daniel song made that phonecall. hey, uh, i hope mc gets therapy after this. like i REALLY HOPE SHES GOT A GOOD SUPPORT SYSTEM TO RECOVER FROM THIS. lord knows that hearing somebody be TORTURED over the phone is gonna frigging mess her up holy shit, and then all the other stuff too
im so. emotional over mc. honestly, im just as emotional over mc as i am over luke, with this personal story. the bit where luke asks her "Have you decided to go meet Song? Regardless of what I say?" and she answers yes like.....god, nobody else in this game is on her level. SHE is the big damn hero here. in spite of her fear, in spite of her favorite person wanting nothing more than for her to be safe, her dedication to helping and saving people is so strong and pure. she'll always make this choice
and she doesnt give up, not til the end, she helped nami all the way, every second....fuck
and the rescue scene....oh my GOD the RESCUE SCENE.....
KAJI YUKI PERSONALLY WANTED EVERY LUKE STAN DEAD, WITH THE PERFORMANCE HE DID THERE. JESUS CHRIST....the desperation, the ANGUISH, and how he delivered the line "Don't say that! Don't say that now..." my god how am i ever gonna recover from that holy shit
just, in general, the entire lake scene is going to be etched into my brain for forever. that was SO FRIGGING GOOD
and the after bits kept ping-pong-ing me between Extremely Emotional and HAHAHAHAHJHAJHFVAJS
luke rlly spent the entire time at her bedside holding her hand....//SOBS WAILS CRIES
dr xu: luke wouldnt leave ur side the whole time until dr yishmir told him you'd be sad if you woke up and saw him still wearing his wet clothes
me: oh wow aaron has a second degree in Making Luke Pearce Listen studies JHVSJDFVJS
i rlly enjoyed aaron's little speech to mc......like, that was a shovel talk of some sorts but adjacent? more of "if you commit to this, it's gonna be hard" and HRGHRHHHH MC IS JUST SO DEDICATED. IT'S FINE. WHATEVER HAPPENS WILL HAPPEN, CHERISH TODAY, CHERISH WHAT WE HAVE NOWWWW
pls....how eric and nami unknowingly let the Cat outta the Bag LMAOOOOO. mc's unimpressed face at both luke and aaron looking GUILTY AJHVFJHFASJ, 5 stars. this was the funniest possible route the sphynx thing couldve come to light; via unaware grateful people
luke: "After we solved Sphynx's first riddle, I contacted Aaron and confirmed that he was Sphynx."
me: "contacted" is a funny way of saying that u ambushed him in a parking lot, but ok luke, you do you
and finally
FINALLY
CHECK OUT HOW HARD I CAN CRY PPSSHSHHSHSHSHSHWWWWW!!!!!!
overall: i probably shouldve saved my most fave for last because holy shit this was so good im still reeling from how much i adored it. the pain, the fluff, the funny bits. ALL SO GOOD
also im so ready for anniv card to pick up right where this left off oh god come on, i know anniv card is gonna rip my heart to shreds and put it back together again
okay. thats all my thoughts and reactions for now....for now....
//lies down and thinks about luke pearce emotionally

hello its me again !! yesterday I told you I followed u bc of your love for jaemin and your funny humour but today I want to add something else, and thaTS YOUR AMAZING WRITING SKILLS !!
i just finished reading the masterpiece that is Top of the world and I'm so shaken up by the excellence of the rich vocabulary, the sentence structure and just the way you wrote the various events that happened. I'm such at a lost of words to express what I feel you have no ideas, I will never recover from the high quality of this story. it couldn't have been better than that what you delivered and I'm just so so relieved to have been able to live this amazing experience of reading such an outstanding story. I'm sorry maybe you're thinking im showering you in too much compliments but you deserves to be praised for having written Top of the world.
I will always be amazed with how people who write are able to wrote down their imagination and wow, im still shaking like.. Im so impressed by you you have no ideas 🙈
moving on, this is the first time ever since I'm reading nct fics on tumblr that I came across this characterization of jaemin, and it is a real take of fresh air in the best way possible even tho he's really such an asshole like wow the popularity did go too high in his head I was so scandalized (in a good way lmao it made me amazed) with how an ass he was and like the way he ordered around jisung ???? djjdjffjhf I- I wanted to punch jaemin so hard 😤 I wanted to dive into the story and beat his ass lmaooo im sure you too, like I was rolling around in my bed bc I couldn't stay still and laying down without reacting ㅠㅠ
I dont know at what length of words the ask can tolerate but let me tell you something before I forgot ! I realized that every situations/events you wrote had a purpose, like you didn't wrote basic actions that we would pass over without much attention, and bc of that you held our attention during the 15.6k of words and it was so much overwhelming I couldn't stop reading just to breathe lol, you kept me going for so long and I really liked it im so sad that I lived this experience and I couldn't live it again *sobs* this is so revolting I want to pat your head you did so so well 🥺
alsooooo, when you introduced yn's character in the beginning, I was kinda afraid that he would bully her physically you know, like I couldn't imagining you daring to write him being more than despicable than he was but thanks god that wasn't what I imagined fjdjfj, the way he exercised his 'dominance' towards someone he didn't know just for a seat lmao, wow he got some real balls ?¿ I was scandalized a lot fjjfjffj but I was curious too about jeno's character in the story, he was so chill (I think?) about yn's being involved with jaemin from the start and I was expecting him to be an asshole to her just like jaem, u know ? could we know your motives about jeno's character in the story ? why didn't you wrote him like jaemin?
I will speed up a little fjfjj or else I will write you 6 pages of my thoughts lmao
but yeah !! so, I really liked the contrast between how we perceived yn's outside facade and inside, like when he make her kneels in front of him, you made us look at her from jaemin's view and how she looked not so bothered by his behavior and then you switched the second after into yn's point of view and how she tried to not show her emotions... *mind blowing* 🤯 not gonna lie, I was rotting for her to not let him mess with her head but instead her doing that to him and it kinda worked fjfjfjf and then I knew the moment he was surprised about the non effect he had on her that it was the start of his fall anD I WASN'T A SECOND DISAPPOINTED
I FUCKING LOVED THE BLOSSOMING REALTIONSHIP BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM anD the slight graduation of jaemin's becoming soft to her oh my god I had hearts in my eyes. I loved every moments of this story (I loved the entire 15.6k words of it, I cherished them), but the pool scene toward the end made me go feral for a lot of minutes like the picture you implanted in my head of him in the water made me post all my thoughts (also blonde jaemin? as in, make a wish jaemin?, god I hope bc fucking damn, he was so so so hot)
I was so emotional at the end, they got together and just, being the witness of jaemin's character development was breathtaking, I couldn't stop thinking about how smooth you made it for his character development during all the story, it wasn't forced or too quick...
It was perfect
omg.... [CLUTCHES HEART]. help oh my god first of all thank you ??? for leaving such a LONG long review omg ???? made my entire day ?? week ??? HQGSBWJ IN SUMMARY THANK U AND I LOVE U FOR THIS AAAA i really appreciate it when people just ramble abt my works it just makes my drive go ⬆⬆⬆ yanno HHHH.
when i was first writing this is was like "oh gosh....is it....okay to turn jaemin this much of a dick?? IS IT??" like i was so SURE people wouldn't like this characterization of him but i literally got the reverse 😭 never expected anyone to jump with me on my asshole richkid jaemin agenda bUT HERE WE ARE....IT BEING MY MOST POPULAR FIC YET HAHSJ. i both hate and love this kind of jaemin and yes i definitely wanted to drag him down from his high horse while writing (at the same time....i will let him drag me around as he pleases too 😳).
i'm very gratified that u think its cohesive and each scene has a purpose because to be honest i didn't fuckin know where to go with this entire fic at first LMAO i was just in a richkid jaem brainrot after talking abt it too much with my friend and this was....the result 🕴.
as for jeno oh mr. jeno lee....HAGSNSK to be honest, as this fic wasn't rlly that deeply planned HAHA, i just wanted a contrast to jaemin's personality LMAO if he had the same personality as jaems....insanely egotistical god complex and all.....i think this would have turned out to be a love triangle AHAHS GM SKW. bUT— but hehe. i have another richkid fic in the dusty corners of my google docs rn. a 00’ line fic in fact HAHA so totw jaemin and jeno will be making a comeback here (ofc this is an entirely different universe but their characterizations are essentially the same HEHEHEHEHEH).
anyway !! thank u so much for sharing ur thoughts on totw ;o; 💞 this rlly made my day no joke HAHA i'm so happy to hear you liked this aaaaa. and yes. maw jaemin was the cause of all of this. something snapped in him during that era and led me to write this very self indulgent fic. thank u HAGHSKA.
#and no worries ur grammar is perfect !!! :D hehehe thank you once more aaaa and very sorry for replying late ;o;#💌: byunfirstlady#feedback#top of the world
