Ah, I wish my scanner wasn't dead. Clearly, I need to create a Hwan icon. :(

Oh, fucking PURR. The world needs more Saiyuki yuri, and this has always been a kind of "oooh, kinky!" pairing of mine since I read vol 5. >_> And that pic you based this on didn't help any with reducing the GUH factor of the pairing.

....and then you add my favourite kinks and D/s dynamics to it. I swear, my brain exploded. <3333333333 ILU so much for writing this!

The characters were IC, the motivations were perfect and the whole piece flowed so sensually and smoothly...it had that rare ease of prose and consistency of pace that makes the best sex writing. All in all, damn fine work, and I'm all kinds of *drool* over this. ^__^

...damn it, I need a kink icon...

Ahahaha! Oh yeah.... :D That is such a great piece of artwork. There are so many interesting details in it, it just screams for fic. :) Hwan presents such an uptight face to the world in the series, it's long been obvious that there's gotta be some kink outlet underneath it all somewhere. Now yuri fans have a lovely art pic to prove it. :)

I actually like Hwan a lot, and have been wanting to write something about her for a very long time. She's an ambitious, intelligent woman who happens to be close to the center of important events. I wish we'd see more of her in the series.

Thanks so much for reading. I'm really glad you liked the fic!

I just have to add, huge amounts of love for your new journal layout! I think I have visited three times in the last hour just to stare and grin maniacally. :D

*nodnods*

I wasn't the one who requested that pairing on the kink meme, but I did put a very similar one - same pairing and shibari, although I hadn't asked for strap-ons - up at sickfic last February which, sadly, wasn't picked up....so I'm doubly grinny over this!

Yeah...I wind up too caught up in Nii's view of Houtou to really look at Hwan beyond the "ohh, poke her brain - poke it - she explodes so nicely!<3" but I do like her character. ^__^

My journal is <33333333 now, and Fujiko1601, who created it, is going to get MAD props soon in a giant acknowledgment post! ^__^ I love it so much....and yeah, I've been doing the manic grinning too, since yesterday!

*grin* Yeah, I was going to mention in a reply below that your request on mellow_dk's darkfic challenge here was the other place I'd seen that pairing + shibari (and I would have written it then, if RL had allowed--it was so tempting) :)

Yeah...I wind up too caught up in Nii's view of Houtou to really look at Hwan beyond the "ohh, poke her brain - poke it - she explodes so nicely!<3"

ROFLMAO! Ah, the core of their working relationship, captured so eloquently! :D

The journal layout is gorgeous. 10 and 2 look surprisingly natural together, just as if they were somehow caught in the act of plotting something diabolical. It's awesome. :D

[macavitykitsune]

Oh yeah, he just ADORES poking at her brain, doesn't he? But she makes it soooo easy...

Oh, honey...it's 10 and 2. ANYTHING they do is diabolical!

http://absolute-negation.dreamwidth.org/ More diabolicality in the header up there... that's my joint writing lj on DW. ^__^

Ooh, very nice! Haha, is the text on the picture based on Nii's quote in Reload vol. 3? :) (Although, somehow the blue-green layout on your lj one just seems to suit them). Mmm. I think I'll go back and stare some more now. :)
