this is why i shouldn't write when i'm angry

[metisket]

So I wrote this with rage in my heart against Hoshino, and I've never so sincerely hoped that I'm COMPLETELY WRONG.

This is set immediately after 167, which chapter made me cry in the workplace. This is basically more of the same. You have been warned.

...Ow. That hurt in a really good way.

[metisket]

I'm glad it was in a good way?

This was kind of therapy-for-fictional-trauma writing, so I wasn't entirely sure how it was going to turn out.

You pulled off the second person really well - that's a style I try to avoid because it can be so ugly, but not in your case. I really enjoyed reading this. I think my favourite part was "You lose Cross first, on the sea between China and Japan." It was so concise and to the point - excellent.

Thanks for sharing this.

Thank you!

Actually, I usually avoid second person too. I used it this time because there is something inherently creepy about it--that there is no narrator.

I'm glad you liked it!

... ;___________; The latest chapters of DGM are slowly tearing at my heart, and just--you captured it so well, the sense that Allen's memories are slipping away, and the worst thing is that he knows they are gone and that they won't come back.

I hope this doesn't happen in the manga.

A brilliant fic, if I may say so. I like how you put it in second-person, because third-person would mean having to use Allen's name when he talks of himself, and first-person would mean having to use the pronoun "I," only Allen's "I" is changing, from "Allen" to the "14th." *____*

I also hope this doesn't happen in the manga. In fact, that is my dearest wish for dgm. Because if it does happen, >:E

You'll be happy to know that I have a lousy prediction track record. In fact, I basically wrote this thinking, "I've never been right before. Surely if I write this, it won't happen!"

Crazy logic often comforts me.

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

This is amazing and so depressing. I love how this slowly changed from Allen to the 14th. ♥ Amazing.

[metisket]

Yes, when I am depressed, I like to share.

I'm glad you liked it, though. Thank you!

Wow this is depressing. Very very well written. I cringed when Allen forgot how to juggle, the sign that he was slowly forgetting. Once again, this is beautiful, one of the best ones I have read recently.

By the way, I second the "I hope this doesn't happen in the manga" statement.

*thirds the hoping this never happens*

This was my first and most horrible thought when I read 167. Surely Hoshino won't go with my most horrible thought. Surely, surely.

But I'm glad you...enjoyed it? In a manner of speaking?

Thank you for the comment!
