Found you through yaoidaily and I had to comment on your SxA icon. Where did you find Nightrunner fanart? It's gorgeous!

It's not fanart, it's the official art for the Japanese edition of the books. alice_montrose posted the scans some time ago at nightrunner.

Nice Gankutsuou icon, by the way. ^__^

HOLY SHIT YOUAREKIDDINGME. That just made my week. SO much hotter than the American covers....Now I must go find all the scans. And join the comm, because it never occured to me that anyone else read those books.

Gankutsuou? It's Trinity Blood (so is this one). ^^ I do love Gankutsuou though. I was quite honestly bawling when Franz died. I had to pause the DVD.

Those pics are wonderful. ^__^

Not enough people know Nightrunner. But I've spread the love to two of my LJ friends. That's my little contribution. :-)

Wow! It looked so much like the Count. My bad. I cried a lot too when Franz died. Even the flashbacks made me cry. ;__; This anime is awesome on so many levels.

I love Nightrunner. I first read them maybe five years ago and they're on my favorites shelf. The relationship is handled VERY well.

Hee. It's my Isaak. He sort of acts like the Count on Crack. Yea, the Franz bit was torture. I lovvved him, and it made me so angry that Albert never caught on to Franz' feelings for him. It was so tragic. -.- That anime's one of my favorites too. The art is genius.

Exactly. The way Alec's feelings mature along the books is wonderful. Stalking Darkness is my favourite one. <3

It was very sad, though I'm a big fan of Count/Albert. Their flirting is priceless. ^___^ And the animation is so original. It's one of my favourite anime too.

Alec's a cutie, but Seregil was my favorite. Mmmm dark sexy men XD

Albert wins the prize of clueless uke for Count x Albert. The Count was SO creepily gay at him and he never caught on. And he was SO obsessed with an older man and thought that was normal.

Well, both are awesome. ^___^ And I like how Micum and Kari are such yaoi fans. XD

There was an "I... you..." that sounded very much like a confession to me. ^^ I think Albert was less clueless with the Count than with Franz.

Yaoi fangirls in novels are the BEST! Those novels influeneced to write a crack yaoi fantasy novel that I got bored with after fifty pages, but there was a yaoi girl in it...

But I don't think he realized the Count wanted to kidnap him and rape him senseless, then kill him and probably rape him some more. XD Poor Franz....Even Eugenie knew.

*laughs* That sounds like fun. ^_^

He was love-struck from the very first episode. Maybe he didn't think of the technicalities, but I'm convinced that sex between them would have been consensual.

Friending you, because Nightrunner + Gankutsuou fan = WIN

Oh it would have been consensual, much to the Count's dismay. XD I'm sure it would be con, but the Count is a bit creepy, so he might try to twist things around now and then.

Okay. I friend you back! I waste an inordinate amount of time raving about Isaak and Dietrich from Trinity Blood (they're the couple in the icon in my layout) mind you. And I will probably try to make you into a fan at some point.

I'm sure the Count will teach a few tricks to Albert. ^^

That shouldn't be too difficult considering I started watching Trinity Blood last week. But I have only seen a couple of episodes so far (too many things to watch and read...), so I have no idea who these two are for now.

XD I wonder what those tricks would be...?

Dietrich appears in episode 3, Isaak in 8. Unfortunately, in the anime they never actually talk to eachother. The anime is based off the manga, which is based off the novels. In the novels, manga, and drama CDs, they live together. Isaak (and Cain, the major bad guy), raised Dietrich from the time he was seven and because he's a depraved pervert, he fell in love. They're 19 and 37ish when the story starts, so by that point they're already lovers. It's horrible but I love them anyway. And if you buy the drama CDs there's an entire album of the two of them bickering. It is <3.

Oh, it's sad if this doesn't appear in the anime. A chance you're here to inform me of their love! ^_^

The anime also kills off characters that live in the novels and vice versa....the anime made the ending all sweet and happy WHAT. XD

Anyway, IxD is fantastic. And, uhm, illegal by LJ standards.

Well, they tend to soften things when they produce anime...

Unfortunately. :-(
