The final chapter of my Phutian photographer AU.

I'm so happy it's finished and that I didn't give up along the way!

----

Thank you to Maria (@atots4ever-nevergonnagiveyouup) for beta reading despite it taking forever due to my numerous mistakes.

Thank you Nads (@sir-gauwain) for being the biggest fan of this story, and anon for asking about it and giving me the biggest motivation boost.

And thank you to orthy (@wootaekyung) for sending me the pictures that inspired basically the entire second half of this chapter.

Alright, go read if you want, have fun, love you, byeeeee

Original tweet here. All these pics taken by Earth are giving me so much Photographer!Phutian vibes! The man knows how to make his subject look good!!

!!!! OK, we already established that Phupha doesn't like taking pictures of people, right. And he really doesn't. He'll take pictures of his friends sometimes bc they asked or take a few snapshots at a party but it just doesn't capture his attention as a photographer.

But with Tian, he wants to capture every moment. He wants to create memories with him and the one way he knows how to do it is to photograph him. And somehow Tian manages to be himself when he's photographed by Phupha because the camera is like an extension of him. So when Tian looks at it, it's really Phupha he's looking at. And when Phupha takes a picture of him looking out into the sunset, it's just Phupha looking at him and saving that moment for them to memorise forever. So it doesn't feel akward and it doesn't feel fake or posed.

And over the years, Phupha collects this catalogue of memories, their story told through hundreds of pictures, but mostly just shots of Tian. And there's a tenderness that is so evident in those pictures, because Phupha somehow manages to show his feelings in the way he captures him in the most mundane moments and makes them look as if they're special, because they are special to him, every moment he gets to have with him is. And he still doesn't like taking pictures of people, but with Tian it's different. He's his favourite subject.

Nads 🥺🥺🥺 I'm so floored. This is amazing and I can't believe you made something for my stupid little fic. And it has the swans! And the mango stucky rice! And the last gif looks so much like their first encounter might go!Thank you so much!!!! I love it 😭😭💕💕💕💕💕

Inspired by the fic One Week in August by the amazing @thebadmoonsrising

"When Phupha, a wildlife photographer from the tiny village of Pha Pun Dao, accepts a job to photograph a newly opened park in the city of Chiang Mai, he finds himself out of his element and desperate to return home to the quietness and solitude of his forest.

But a chance encounter with a beautiful boy might just turn his life upside down." Please, do yourself a favour and go read this fic.

Chapter 2 of the Photographer AU!

This took forever but I offer chickens as an apology 🐔

[loooreleii]

Chapter 3.

It took forever. I have no excuse.

Now with #gay swans

[loooreleii]

hiiii, saw this and instantly thought of photographer!phupha, enjoy 💗

Kit this is excellent thank you so much!! 💕💕💕🤗

So after they meet properly (exchange names and all that, yes Phupha you do have to introduce yourself if you want to snuggle the guy, no you can't skip that step) Tian runs home and googles Phupha and finds this in a photo spread about up and coming thai artists and he saves this to his computer immediately. And there is a short article about him that talks about how he's from a tiny village and does everything bc he loves nature so much and want to preserve it and Tian is so intrigued. Ans he reads more about him and his work in other magazines and on Phupha's blog and Tian thinks he might fall for the guy right here bc Phupha seems literally perfect and also he's ridiculously good looking in a completely unselfconscious way, ruggedly handsome, and if Tian has one weakness its a good old nature boy so he might have played himself a little here.

80% of writing the Photgrapher AU is me staring at pictures of Mix to find new beautiful things Phupha can gush over

[loooreleii]

I love One Week in August so much! The new chapter had me wanting to reach into the story to give Phupha a figurative push myself. Glad Tian at least gave him a sign that he was looking for him too. Can’t wait to see what happens next. Their first actual meeting and convo will be a long time coming

Oh you're so lovely, thank you so much! 💕💕

Believe me, I ,too, want to just get to the part where they're happy, and in love, and Phupha has a whole album filled with Tian pictures, but unfortunately, he had to work through his issues a bit, first.

But! I promise lighter and happier stuff in the next chapter.
