put away that dynamite right now, you naughty boy.
I loved xaevyn's More than a Study. It's a Spanner and Tsuna fic, set after Tsuna's capture. It's beautifully G, and I think the story is the stronger for it. It's the kind of fic you don't find very often in the Spanner/Tsuna fandom (oh, if you've found more, rec me, I'm always all ears). It has Spanner-Tsuna interaction that makes me grin and is wonderfully free of the Sex Has Come Between Us syndrome. It's true to Spanner's intensely obsessive nature while having a Spanner that genuinely likes Tsuna.
Also, half-sleeping has updated with Part 3 of Resolution. I'll go with the authorial description of the fic as "AU where Tsuna is a girl and went to Italy as a child.". It's my favourite installment so far - the fic's hit the Rings arc, and I've always loved the stories that show that Tsuna (Natsu, here) has real spirit, especially if you put the ones he (or she) loves in danger.
Also, fandomsecrets.
While I have friends with a deep antipathy for the community: either because someone they know has, or they themselves have been, subject to not!secrets there, I am a horrible person who thinks that even so, the community is a source of great hilarity (also, there are vongolorgy fans there, which made me grin from ear to ear - fandomsecrets motto should be YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE okay I am done being lame).
I am certain that at least 80% of this can be blamed on my obsessive nature and the fact that if I love a series, everything about the series interests me, whether it be fic or art or doujin or photoshopped confessions of a hilarious nature. I laugh easily and am distressingly easy to please, and therefore all the things you will see if you click the LJ cut amused me.
I repeat what I said above about my being a horrible human being before saying that
this made me laugh so hard.
When I first saw it, I was, I love that poem! - and then I realised there was a picture behind it.
And then I stared harder and it and LAUGHED SO HARD WHEN I REALISED IT WAS A TYL!Gokudera and TYE!Tsuna in the Snow White!Tsuna scene. (oh, hush. Isn't it fun to imagine that Gokudera woke him with a kiss?)
The meme referred to is actually a 4chan meme, and its history and significance is explained here. (Please note that the comment thread, hilariously enough, is numbered 59732172#t59732172.
I AM LAME ABOUT THE NUMBER FIXATION BUT I AM ALSO NOT ALONE:
When I am tired at work I will key in the wrong numbers, too.
LAUGHED HARDER.
LAUGHED EVEN HARDER when a poster commented on the true meaning of 'dera as used in Japanese, which made me choke. See here, and please be warned that you may never see Gokkun the same way again.
obviously I am magnetically attracted to comment threads if they're coded 62749740#t62749740 Iiiiii will shut up now.
Although my opinion was, if you wanted a real Mukuro lookalike, you'd be pointing at:
Lelouch from Code Geass:
Wrong eye, but the manipulative personality and power-activates-glowing-eye-effect fit.
or Sebastian from Kuroshitsuji.
on what's got you holding on for that one chapter more
Further evidence of why I'm a horrible human being: "I'M ABOUT TO LEAVE THE FANDOM" sentiment kind of has no effect on me, because my attitude is, "Stay if you want to stay, go if you want to go, nobody can keep you here if you want to leave, nobody can make you go if you want to stay."
But I understood the sentiment. The ceaseless fighting was making me tired, but it's just too bad that I'll always have too many reasons to keep reading Reborn. *laughs* And it's not the first person I've heard of who was on the verge of leaving (it makes me want to sing the Should I Stay Or Should I Go song, just for the hell of it) until Gamma's backstory with Uni was revealed.
