Summary:When Namjoon told you he loved you four years ago, he meant it with every fibre of his being, and that meant that he would do everything in his power to ensure that you would never get hurt, ever, but promises like that are often impossible to keep, and now. You were hurt, and he could do nothing as he watched you become a shell of the woman you once were, as you struggled to remember everything that ever happened to you, including him. You forgot him. Namjoon still will try, but how much is too much, and when the hurt is irreversible, can he still make you fall in love with him again? Or will he let you go? Or will you?
Warnings:Lovers to Strangers AU! (but not in the way you think, possibly in a way that’s sadder). Mentions of traumatic brain injuries, and surgery, nothing graphic, but it’s a very hard read, and was an even harder story to write. Mentions of apashia, mental health struggles (anxiety and negative thoughts), and physical health issues. Reader is learning how to become whole again after her world changes within minutes.
Authors Note 2: This song really hits very close to home with me. Bear with me if it’s not medically accurate. I’m well aware that the recovery time for traumatic brain injuries is not a few weeks. From first hand, I know it’s more like months and years. But for the sake of fiction and telling this story, there will be time jumps, and just know, everyone’s recovery is different, and everyone’s journey is different. I’m not trying to glamourise memory loss or horrific accidents, but this is something that has happened to someone I love. I can’t say they got their happy ending, but that’s the beauty of telling a story, isn’t it? Finding closure through fiction?
Authors Note 3:@go1denjeon, Angel thank you for reading the first bit of the fic for me, and I inserted the line from one of our conversations in the fic, something about “rewriting history” It spoke volumes to me
Banner Credits:@alpacaseokeok, thank you my love, for this incredible banner!! Your talent amazes me, and you’re so incredibly to take this on ✨
Release Date: 30th April 2022 (sorry folks I got sick and I need some more time )
