Iām going to talk about The walls have ears (But theyāre not yours).Ā
My original plan was to make it entirely a comedy. Even in my notes on the post, I mentioned the original title:Ā āNo room for brooding (Get out of the damn shower).āĀ
You can still see the humor origins in the first few scenes. Tinās attempts to talk to himself are rather broken just so you laugh at the implications. Canās reactions are a little tooĀ oblivious about whatās going on.Ā
But as I progressed, I found I couldnāt make everyone laugh at Tin. It just wasnāt happening. You can blame the MV or you can blame my soft and emotional heart. All the same, it felt wrong to just laugh at Tin here.Ā
I felt like I wanted something bigger to happen, something bigger between Can and Tin neededĀ to happen. So I reworked it a bit and asked,Ā āWhat if Canās inattentiveness, his obliviousness, came back to bite him a bit?āĀ
A lot of times in fanfic before the last few episodes, Can was portrayed as the emotionally aware one. This was an interesting way to test what would happen if he wasnāt.Ā
ALSO in order to spill some more tea, it was only after I wrote this fic and slapped several others into thisĀ āverse that I realized I made a bit of a continuity error. In āThe Worst Kissā, Can seems to know where Tinās spare key is hidden because he bursts in on Tin having a minor breakdown over his emotions in the bathroom. Here in āThe walls have earsā, Can says that Tin doesnāt believe in leaving spare keys anywhere and doesnāt have one. Sadly, the spare key was lost in the space-time-fic-paradox in between a few fics.Ā
Thank you for answering again after my stupid blunder! š
Iāve just left a rambling comment on AO3 so Iāll keep this reply short.
