More KKM *one track mind* MURATA SHIPPING! =D

[lunarsensitive]

After reading The story about Shinou and Daikenja and A scene between Murata and Shinou on ritsu2's lj, both from the novels, ( i just skimmed them before), I want to list out Murata pairings and my feelings on them because Murata is one of those characters I like pairing with everyone.

I really enjoyed reading this! Plus I never knew those spoilers about Shinou and Daikenja (I read them anyway because I love spoilers when it comes to KKM).

I think Murata has enough troubles with blond, scheming bastard, power hungry kings with family issues.

That made me laugh LOL

And I have an OT3 to add Conrad/Yozak/Murata, my absolute OT3 hehe.

Yeah, part of the reason why I posted this was to share the relationship Daikenja/Murata have with Shinou because it seems too many people don't know or haven't read ritsu2's summaries. ^^ I'm all for spoilers too :P

And I have an OT3 to add Conrad/Yozak/Murata, my absolute OT3 hehe.

Now that's an interesting one! The reason I like OT3's, especially with a character like Murata, is because it has a stabilizing effect on the relationships between everyone involved. Conrad and Yozak, if they were a couple, I can see potential problems they would have (ah the angst!), but having Murata would smooth some of that over. :D

[starrose17]

Exactly, he'd do them well XD They were cemented as my ot3 with all the time the 3 of them spent together in the 3rd season, far more than the first two put together.

[lunarsensitive]

Ah yes, I think I should probably watch Season 3 again. I hardly remember what happened. OTL Their interations in canon are definitely fun to watch. ^^

[lunarsensitive]

I'm a fan of this pairing but...* SPOILER maybe?* in the past, it seems they were...half-brothers...And I have a hard time imagining they could feel this kind of things between one another, in that case. Yes, they were half brothers. ^^ If you read ritsu2's summaries from the novel, she explains how they met, and why Daikenja doesn't know that Shinou is his brother. :)

Not a big fan of WolfXMurata. But why not? He'll probably take care of Wolf better, who knows. Yes, I agree, he probably would take good care of Wolfram if they were a couple. :D

MurataXCeli? If he was older, why not? I don't know why, I think their personalities would match...or perhaps just like good buddies advising one another about love, seduction and all...oh my god, I have too much imagination. Nothing wrong with imagination! I posted this to encourage people to imagine more pairings. ^^

So many interesting dynamics. I like what you said about the threesome Murata/Yuuri/Wolfram - I think their strength and weaknesses complement each other and I love it to bits (as you might have guessed).

that doesn't give Conrad's lover, whomever they may be, a whole lot of freedom.

Yeah, and this is why I much prefer Murata/Yozak to Conrad/Yozak although I love the latter I sometimes think that Yozak has given Conrad so many chances and he still doesn't give anything back, loving Conrad would be very painful. I guess I could see it (and have written it) that Yozak acknowledges that in many ways he'll always come second to Yuuri (and Julia) in Conrad's heart. But I think it's unfair.

Pretty much how I feel about Conrad is summed up thusly. 'Conrad has issues.'

So I think it's time for recs, these are off the top off my head:

Murata/Gwendal

Title: For The Sake Of Memories
Author: marshtomp madness
Rating: T, no warnings,
Word Count: 4,000 words
Summary: A love story. Murata reflects on what it means to remember 4000 years

I like what you said about the threesome Murata/Yuuri/Wolfram - I think their strength and weaknesses complement each other and I love it to bits (as you might have guessed). I'm happy you love it! :D It's a threesome that doesn't get written nearly enough! Which is odd considering how suggestive a lot of the official art is.

this is why I much prefer Murata/Yozak to Conrad/Yozak I actually feel the same way. I used to really like Conrad/Yozak, and I'm still 99 percent sure Yozak is in love with Conrad even if my OT3 is GwendalxYozakxAnissina, but with Conrad so focused on Yuuri, I don't see Conrad/Yozak happening, at least not without something changing deep inside of Conrad. He really does have too many issues. :(

And thanks so much for the recs! I haven't read most of them! And I love Gwendal :3

It's hilarious that Murata was a porn start in his last life, I always 'like really!'

[diorama23]

And at the risk of spamming you. You've forgotten one pairing I love the idea of and that's The Maou/Murata.

I don't think I've read any stories with those two (my story 'Playing Game' comes closest and I keep hinting it through that series) and Murata and the Maou have at least met once in the anime. Of course this depends upon what you believe the Maou is, whether he's a splinter of Yuuri's personality, Yuuri's future self, a random spirit or God they would have an interesting dynamic (Does canon say?). And if you write the Maou as something that has been around in the world for a long time then there is someone else that Murata can identify with and vice versa.

[lunarsensitive]

You have a good point. I, myself, think of the Maoh and Yuuri as being two separate beings but still the same person, I guess kind of the same concept as the Trinity in Christianity. More specifically, I see the Maoh as being one of Yuuri's previous incarnations, a more aggressive personality than Yuuri's, that was pulled out when Adelbert does that thing to Yuuri's head when he first shows up to the other world.

And canon doesn't say unfortunately, but this was discussed on either this community or the kkmwolframfans comm in an old post, and the most popular theory was that the Maoh is a previous life of that soul. And if you think that, it's logical to then think that the Maoh personality is from before Shinou was around, because I got the impression from the novel summary from ritsu2's post that Shinou doesn't really know who the Maoh is. So yeah, the Maoh is probably ancient. :D

[diorama23]

And my last spammy post. With regard to Murata and education. I always thought he did it because it was fun and he'd go for the most challenging curriculum he could find. I don't think it would have been very difficult for Murata - no school system on Earth would be too much of a challenge, if he put his mind to it he could be anything at all. But I never thought he was invested in the idea of staying on Earth. I think he'd be happy however things worked out.

Also partly it's because I believe Murata didn't think Yuuri would get moved into the other world until much later, possibly years later, remember Conrad tells Yuuri they were going to wait for a couple more years but circumstances meant that they needed him in Shin Makoku earlier.

[lunarsensitive]

Oh yeah, Murata is in a tough position having to plan his life around Yuuri's. :( But yes, I see what you mean. Murata could be going to Tokyo University simply for the challenge of it. That being the case, he can stay with Yuuri for as long as Yuuri needs him (which I actually prefer.)

[diorama23]

Grr, sometimes I wish I was in the same time zone.

I remember this fic where Yuuri couldn't get over how much Murata found study fun. He was like 'you are a freak, an absolute freak.'

And after being the Great Sage of an entire country anything on Earth would so be a letdown - just like anything would be a letdown after being a King.

[lunarsensitive]

I remember this fic where Yuuri couldn't get over how much Murata found study fun. He was like 'you are a freak, an absolute freak.' LOL! That sounds very much like Yuuri. XD Poor Yuuri, no matter what world he's in, he can't escape studying.

And after being the Great Sage of an entire country anything on Earth would so be a letdown
Wow, when something like that happens in real life, I mean when someone is either very very successful or serving a very important function and then they lose that, a lot of times that person will become severely depressed because life doesn't feel worthwhile. :/ I'm imagining Murata like that now, at least the first few lives after being Daikenja. *huggles Murata*
