[fic] [khr!] Une Chanson Pour La Dame Perséphone
So the final deadline for bitter_nakano's summer exchange is TODAY. Crazy, right? Where did the summer go? And even though I'm so nervous I almost drank nail polish remover instead of coffee just now, I'm also full of warm, gooey feelings. By tonight, I will know whether we can start posting tomorrow

Oh, I'm okay with Dark Sasuke, I'm just not particularly keen on reading fic about his darkness. Was Sasuke ever a misguided teen in need of a roll in the hay to "straighten him out"? In all my favorite fics, like At The End of All Things and Danica's ensemble cast fic, he was always portrayed as incredibly fucked up and fighting toward redemption. And I guess that's what I want to see, not the problem nor the solution, but the journey toward the solution. I think as twisted as Sasuke has become, the good kid he once was is still somewhere in there, and the day he wakes up to that realization is the day that he'll have to start fighting to get back to that place again. Or... something. Blah blah, journey - and you know, I'm even okay with not having Naruto actively there as part of the process, as I think this is something Sasuke needs to figure out for himself before he can face his teammates again. The village coming to terms with Sasuke, wtf is that? I mean, who cares? It's not about the damn village, it's about him and the handful of people who didn't give up on him.
I'm pretty sure whatever redemption attempt Kishimoto gives Sasuke won't satisfy me; we know Kishi's ability pretty well at this point, so... yeah. I don't really know why I'm still so invested in Sasuke, but I really want to write that fic about his journey to rediscovering himself or whatever. I've written one bit I kind of like. The fact that this bit is Itachi-centric may have something to do with it :|
Yeah, yeah, off to Uchihaland with you. You do have a deadline to meet, after all. /cough
