Nanoha Fanfic
I've been rewatching all of Nanoha after seeing the movie. I'm halfway done with A's and should be starting Strikers by tomorrow. In the meantime...
Hands down, without question, Hayate is my favorite character in the series. I love her the most and sadly, she gets next to no attention in fanfic. Sort of like Haruka in My Hime/Otome. I don't understand why. Hayate is just so very cool. The way she dealt with the deaths of her parents, being unable to walk, and living completely on her own at the age of nine with such maturity is incredible. And how kind she is to the Wolkenritter and how all she really ever wanted was to have a family, and to be close to other people. Then when she gets older she turns out to be a SS plus mage, the second highest level a mage can reach? Just so awesome, Hayate.
Anyway. The fanfic in question takes place after Strikers and focuses on Hayate just feeling a general sort of emptiness/loneliness in her life despite having the Wolkenritter at her side and fulfillment in her career at the TSAB. Then she starts having these attacks in the middle of the night, like she did when she was younger and the Book of Darkness was consuming her linker core and killing her.
During one of these attacks, she hears the voice of Reinforce, the Tome of the Night Sky, who sacrificed herself and died to keep Hayate safe. She starts thinking about her feelings for Reinforce and the bond they shared as they were literally in one another's minds when she was trapped within the book. Yuuno then contacts her and reveals he found the lost data on the original state of the Tome of the Night Sky while on an archeological dig.
Hayate then sets about the process of bringing Reinforce back by restoring the Tome.
I thought long and hard about who to pair Hayate with. I mean, it's sad of me but all I write is romance fics. It's all I'm truly interested in writing and I wanted to find someone good for Hayate to be with and I kept coming back to Reinforce because she and Hayate had a different sort of relationship than Hayate did with the Wolkenritter. To me it was less like Reinforce was her child, like she considers the Wolkenritter to be, and they were more equals. Reinforce loves Hayate just as much as the Wolkenritter but their relationship didn't seem as familial. The goodbye scene between them in A's always tears me up. It's so sad and beautiful.
I'm still working on my Marimite fanfic though. Hopefully the new chapter will be up soon. Here are some awesome Hayate and A's centric music videos that I love.
