Djskhd I loved this!!!!
You did such a wonderful job setting this story and building this world and I adored all of your characterization.
Truly, excellent job!
I really have a thing for sukai where one or both of them are totally in love but are too blind to notice it so thank you for writing that dynamic so well!!
And little pup sehun was the cutest thing.
Thanks for this 💕💕

First of all, thank you so much for picking this prompt and for doing such a great job on it :)

I loved how you started the fic, the image of the wolves from a different POV. I was expecting you to start directly with the characters, but i loved how you first set the scene like that and then moved onto Joonmyun. His POV was perfect, all of this thoughts and feelings were so greatly written for me. I smiled all through the fic even if he was feeling down, pinning silently and subconsciously lol there was a moment that made me so happy:

"He doesn’t like leaving Jongin behind, or Sehun. It’s the thought of them - knowing that his little found family is counting on him - that spurs Joonmyun into completing his task. With a mouth full of rabbits, Joonmyun proudly makes his way back to their camp to drop them at Jongin’s feet. He doesn’t have a mate, and Jongin isn’t his omega, but his chest balloons with pride when Jongin strokes long fingers through his fur, pushing his face to Joonmyun’s to thank him."

I loved this part.

As you used Junmyeon's POV, i expected him to be the first one to realize his feelings. But I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was Jongin. Jongin was a great character, i loved how caring he was and how well he took care of Sehun. I loved Sukai's comfortable relationship, the fact that they slept together was really cute.

Another thing i loved a lot was that you acknowledged a lot of things, like sehun's abandonment and why he was abandoned. Even if there was no answer, the fact that Joonmyun worried about that was good. Sukai's relationship and how it would affect future possible courtings was really well handled too. thank you for that.

I enjoyed Baekhyun's character a lot. He was so perceptive of when Joonmyun needed help. There was a moment when Baekhyun crawled inside his tent without saying a word that I really loved, it showed a lot about his character and about his friendship with Joonmyun.

All the rest of the characters were great. Yifan as the alpha was a great choice. And i really loved Yixing.

Now, to the real main character. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED SEHUN!!! thank you so much for writing him as puppy, his energy, his playfulness, it was so perfect! but what I loved the most was how not only sukai bonded over taking care of him, but so did the rest of the pack. It was beautiful to see how he adapted. that was excellent.




Really, thank you so much for writing such a beautiful story ^^

I REALLY LOVED THIS SO MUCH!!
Sukai is my weakness and you did such a great job writing them, I don't usually read wolf au but this was really interesting and easy to understand so really thank you for this!!

Oh, this was so wonderful! I love sukai and I'm a sucker for wolf!aus so this was the perfect combination for me, haha.
I love how easy and comfortable their relationship was (and always had been) and how they'd practically been mates even before Junmyeon realized that that was what he had wanted. It was so nice to see how they cared for each other and took care of each other. The part at the end, after Jongin had been claimed, where Jongin said he felt "whole". ;______; My heart.
This was such a delight to read. Your style and flow were great, the characterizations and relationships were wonderful, and overall this was just such a nice and refreshing story. I look forward to reading more of your work!

This was just-- perfection!!!

I loved every moment of it!! It's so wonderfully sweet and domestic! And to have my OTP written like this, and in wolf!au as well!! Makes!! Me!! So!! Happy!!!!

I loved the characters, and the little details. I loved Sehun!! And Baekhyun and Kris, too! I just loved everything and it all came together so well!! This is a really enjoyable fic!! ^^ Thank you for it!

oh wow *internal shrieking* this might just be one of the best wolf aus i've ever read. i almost skipped over this bc i rarely ever read sukai and i'm glad i didn't. this was more than worthy of my time. i loved every bit of this. junmyeon never realised that jongin's chosen him since he came of age and that he himself has chosen jongin because really they've always been that way. so disgustingly domestic i was a happy puddle of goo through the entire thing. there were sad bits too, of course, as the majority of fics do, but they're well paced and just the right depth so everything only felt right. ALSO TINY ADORABLE PUP SEHUN. and all the side characters. baekhyun who was playful and smug but also kind and tolerant. i can see how yifan is a good leader the pack can depend on; he gave them the space they needed but also kept watch from the sidelines and stepped in slowly in all the right times. i really liked how jongin cared for sehun and junmyeon cared for jongin and then came to also care for sehun all the same. i just loved this entire thing. thank you so much for writing this!

I loved this so much! Sumaknaes is one of my weaknesses so Sukai with a pup Sehun was perfect.

I loved all the characters and the world you built for this AU. Joonmyun and Jongin were so comfortable and domestic around each other most of the time. Excluding that bit where Joonmyun almost ruined it by not seeing what was right in front of him. Sehun was the cutest pup ever. No wonder he got spoiled by the other members of the pack.

This is something I'll come back to read again later for sure. Thank you for writing! <333

this is absolutely beautiful.

bless ♥

This is so beautifully written. From the protection to the realization that dawns on Junmyeon. Jongin's unspoken trust and love for Junmyeon, I think it shows when he knows Sehun will be protected and taken into the pack. I am glad Junmyeon realizes what his feelings really are. This was very poetic and beautiful to read.

that was wonderfully written!

Thank so much for sharing :)

Perfection! I love everything about this story. This was my first reading a Joonmyun/Jongin fic, but wolf!au is always a yes and I couldn't resist.
You made me love the couple: their interactions, the pining ugh ;;;;
Sehun was adorable and, really, this was wonderful, A+, 10/10.

"The more there is of Jongin, the more there is for Joonmyun to cuddle."

Thanks for writing and sharing!
