Snowflake Challenge, Day 13

[eldiablito_sf]

It would appear I'm ever so slightly derelict in my snowflaking duties, but I decided to do today's challenge:

Talk about a piece of original canon and explain why you love it so much.

I do agree 20YA is a better written book than the Book, and now I see why I could never be good at A/A ship...

Such a shame

[eldiablito_sf]

Ok, I'll bite. Why?

[arithanas]

It was not a taunt!

But just for rest your soul, in my eyes, Athos don't behave like a couple with Aramis in 20YA. Their relationship is more akin to those of an older brother to a meddlesome kid brother. Yes, there is bickering, and there is love, but I don't see the intimacy of a couple.

Now, I beg you, disregard my askew interpretation.

[eldiablito_sf]

No, I meant "I'll bite" as in, "Now my curiosity is peaked, please do go on."

I don't have siblings, and accordingly, do not believe in them. Their benefits, as such, as yet to be proven to me. Which one of them would be the "meddlesome kid brother" anyways? I'd say the one who gets himself arrested, but HEY, that's just me.

No. They're boning. For decades. I win.

I do have siblings, and close cousins -that are like siblings- and I bicker them, and help them and want them hung from the nearest tree, but I love them, no mater how useless is to have them around. My family is a catalog of married couples and I do realize the most bickering ones are the ones who are not happy, although are the ones that get more at it, for the number of Catholic brats they breed.

Well, I would say meddlesome kid brother is the one who needs a hand to ironing out the problem and to ask for big brother's tool, but hey! I could be wrong.

And I don't say you didn't win, I just say I'd never write a real good A/A.

[eldiablito_sf]

That's funny: bickering is how we show love in my culture/family. If I'm not arguing that's just equivalent of me not giving a shit :P.

Anyways, it's okay if you can't write A/A. It's a higher calling not given to all. Hehehehhehehe.

[arithanas]

In my culture arguing is good, is what I miss more since I lack my dad. My sisters and me bicker all the time, but sarcasm and irony is not fair play, those are weapons for an enemy.

I don't want to give up, but I'm scared to offend some one with my tries.

Oh, well, not all the girls are made for high heels!

[eldiablito_sf]

I guess my only other unsolicited point would be that Dumas, such as he was, does not DO intimacy. So I never feel limited by his omissions of it. In fact, I prefer it XD.

[arithanas]

That facilitate our job, that is right!
