[Guilty Gear fic] Garden of Eden
The story so far: Back in April last year, I made a misguided attempt to rid myself of on of the more gratuitously clichéd fic ideas that had been nagging at me one and off by writing it up as a drabble in Normal Continuity Will Be Restored Shortly. I say misguided, because the plan backfired spectacularly when everyone (mostly velithya) easily spotted

=D Wow, thanks that's seriously one huge compliment. :3
Especially love that Frederick is so smart ( or just full of himself ) that he immediately assumes he knows exactly what happened, and Ky is just going along with it.
One of the most awkward parts of writing this story was always going to be finding Ky an explanation for why he has no ID, no address, and doesn't know a single person in the city (or the world). I'm still mentally working out some of the kinks, but I am quite pleased that the explanation I have fell together as well as it did. So Frederick notices that this guy happens to have a European accent and doesn't seem to want to talk to the police for some reason, and being in research himself I'm sure Frederick has a lot of strong opinions about the haphazard way funding gets thrown around on some projects. And of course he just can't resist flexing his brain in front of an audience.
I'm itching to know what he'll make of all the other little discrepancies he finds with Ky.
He will probably blame a lot of them on Ky being French, or being Not A Scientist (a class of people Frederick has limited respect for), or, failing all else, on having some genuine reason to want to avoid the police, which Frederick isn't going to care about much as long as he has his hands on the most amazing new research subject he's ever seen.
Love that Ky is aware of how completely messed up he is, but it doesn't help orient him in the slightest because he's just that lost. And the way it takes him a while to recognize cars, and just how alien everything seems through his eyes.
As that's part of that tricky section that had to be scrapped and completely rewritten, it really is gratifying that people liked the final version.
Just wanted to say this was awesome.
And again, thank you very much for delurking long enough to say so.
