Author's Notes:- This story went through around five versions because I desperately tried to follow the plot outlines I created but it wouldn't work until I gave up and decided to let the story write on its own. The problem is, every time I let the story write on its own, it ends up longer than I planned. I just started this version 9 days ago and since I'm trying to meet the deadline, I had to go through tons of time skip. So I'm sorry if there are parts that would seem a bit rushed. If you like the story, I might write ficlets to fill in the gap.
- When I signed up for
rpf_big_bang, I made a post in my personal journal asking for a movie that I may use as AU setting.
gcaedmon suggested
'Notting Hill', but it had been ages since I last saw that movie and have no time to watch on DVD. So instead, I used the few scenes I remember as inspiration on some of the scenes in this story.
- I'd like to thank my friend
radcliffe_bass for joining me in this crazy ride. And tons and millions of thanks to the wonderful and lovely
pixie_queen24 for the excellent beta work she's done. Thanks bb!
- This may have been beta'ed but please remember, I'm not perfect so I may have missed some corrections, so please excuse if there are any and I will eventually check this thoroughly.
- The fic title was derived from the lyrics of
'Special Memory' by Iwi Laurel (a Filipino artist).
- Lastly, I love Justin Bieber. Honest. So I don't intend to make fun of him here. I just couldn’t think of anyone else, given my limited knowledge in the music world.
