Fic: Glass Feather (Joshua/Neku)
After quite possibly the longest hiatus from LJ ever, it seems I've finally remembered that I actually have one. Sometimes I wonder why I have any kind of blog; keeping a diary/journal/log has never been a strong suit of mine. At any rate, conveniently, I've also been writing a TWEWY fic of late, so I even have actual content to share! This will be crossposted to every relevant community I'm a member of, so I apologize in advance for the spam if it shows up several times on your f-list. Without further ado...
Title: Glass Feather
Fandom: The World Ends With You (Subarashiki Kono Sekai)
Warnings: BL. Rated M in case I do end up resolving their UST.
Spoilers: Yes, the entire game and the Secret Reports too, since this takes place post-game.
Pairing: Joshua/Neku or Neku/Joshua (You might be picky about who tops. I haven't decided)
Summary: A year after their Game, Neku and Joshua meet again. Neku wants answers. Joshua decides to indulge him...conditionally, of course. But when new enemies surface and things go awry, Neku gets caught up in a battle to keep Joshua as Composer...and alive.
Disclaimer: If I owned TWEWY, I wouldn't write fanfiction; I'd go make a BL spin-off game or anime. Moreover, Joshua would have been with Neku the whole time. Clearly, I don't own it.
Comments: This is my first TWEWY fic. I first started writing this fic in 2009. I stopped for so long because I simply couldn't do the idea justice at the time. Two years later, after much reading/writing and some brutal fiction classes, I finally worked up the courage to try doing it over again, to write the story I'd wanted to write for this pairing since I finished the game in 2009. Yet, while it's much closer to the ideal I envisioned than it was back then, I remain haunted by the notion that anything can always be better, and there must be something that I'm missing still. Regardless, I hope you enjoy it. Please let me know if you do, or if there's any way I could make this better!
