I particularly like how she takes a situation in "Beautiful" that someone else would have used as an excuse for a lame Miroku/Kagome set up and instead does a powerful friendship story for them, but then does one of the best Miroku/Kagome romantic pairings I've seen in "Sunsets". It's nice to see someone who can look at a couple in more than one way in different stories while staying true to their canon characters.
yep. i've been tempted to try the mir/kag pairing. but it's in my pile of 'sess/kag', mir/kag, inu/san... don't feel drawn to a sess/san as i don't really see how they would be drawn together.
and the challenge i've set for my sess/kag is to NOT kill off rin or inu and still make us believe it. i've got that one sortof figured out... but not mir/kag. i don't want to kill off inu/san,.... no matter how it would come about i know it would be incredibly sad (like 'sunets'). so i've been avoiding it. i've been avoiding them all, actually. i have enough sad ones lined up as it is. ;)
btw: you might want to check out forthrightly. she does reviews once in a while and i think you guys might hit it off.
For Sess/San I've read a couple of attempts that were enjoyable reads but they both rely on slight twists to the charcters to pull it off, what I think of as a "gimme". That is something that author asks you to accept for the sake of the story to come that wouldn't actually work with the characters in canon
( ... )
Most stories that pair her with someone else without killing Miroku have her breaking things off with Miroku over his womanizing. This only works if his womanizing turns out to be real on an important level. i DO think this i can be done, but it turns him into more of a cad than i like, personally. still. can be done, as you say with little twists of the character that you'd have to accept.
yes, the time factor is critical. In Gisei (and Entangled), that was the ONLY way I could pull off sess/rin. gotta give rin time to grow up away from sess so their relationship could be believable to me.
forthrightly may look you up, who knows. LJ can become truly addicting once people find you here... which other forums/blogs do you find yourself spending a lot of time on? i'm lazy and pretty much only follow LJ and DA friends.
