New Audiofic: "Yuanfen" by jae-vous (easylion on tumblr)
"Have we met before?" A post 11x02 story
Author's Note:
"Yuanfen (Chinese): a relationship by fate or destiny. this is a complex concept. It draws on principles of predetermination in chinese culture, which dictate relationships, encounters and affinities, mostly among lovers and friends.
From what I gather, yuanfen in common use means "binding force": what connects two people together in a relationship.
It's interesting, though. I've never thought to distinguish the difference of love between the fated and the destined. "Fate" isn't the same thing as "Destiny". Even if lovers are fated to find each other, they may not end up together. The proverb, "have fate without destiny," describes people who meet, but who don't eventually end up together.
Anyway, I often search for new words to use for titles, and when I cam across this, my mind immediately went to Tony and Ziva, and the circumstances now that she's leaving.
Reader's Note: I want this. For the end of season 11, I want this. I won't get this. But I want it all the same.
