Where You Want to Go and What You're Running From...

I think, with these two fics, I have both the Eros and the Death Instinct thoroughly covered.

I'm so productive that it kind of scares me...D:

And, because I think it prudent, I'm gonna do one of these for once -

First, Harry Potter with a warning that its a massive spoiler for Half-Blood Prince for dearest kirat et all.

I love you to little bits and pieces, Sci'. This was certainly something to wake up to. She's so perfectly depicted here, and her relationship with Kyouya so carefully painted, it's hard to believe. Her frustration at Kyouya, Tamaki, everything, and her struggle to match up to Kyouya all along -- you set it all up so well. You're absolutely, criminally wonderful. ♥

I was particularly captured by the mention of her straight hair as 'the very symbol of her will to attain that exalted invincibility that came with utter pragmatism and all traits Kyouya embodied.' There's no better way to put it. Her hair really is very symbolistic, which is something I've always loved about her.

My second favourite line wasn't in the story, though. It was in the comments.

"And that is how overachievers work. ^_^ Their entire world falls apart and they are forced to kidnap other people's teddy bears when they are beaten!"

You win so much for that. Lol.

All in all, it was an honour to have this piece written for me (for us! Rachel read it before I did, even). Thank you so much~, and merry Christmas, of course.

"Criminally wonderful"...? *snorfle followed by ecstatic glompage*

Her hair is grand facade covering her interior desire to bloom forth into an unrestrained, joyful maiden...! Ya know, it's scary how I can just lapse into Tamaki...^^

And someone needs to make an Ayame icon which says "It's all fun and games until someone kidnaps the teddy bear..." It is just necessary. But really, to be a super overachiever, she should have just kidnapped their textbooks - well, Tamaki's...the Ootori police are daunting - or she could have just kidnapped Haruhi for an extended period of time.

Then Tamaki would be wallowing in exquisite despair and Kyouya would have to take care of him. That would put a damper on the grades.

This would all make insane crack fic. No lame-o bunnies! Go away!

But, insanity away, Love for you (and Rachel, of course)! <3
