PoT: snails and oysters

[two_if_by_sea]

(oooh, I know I have to return comments. Sorry guys! I'll get to it.)

For midorinomizu, because she requested it, although I don't think this is quite what she had in mind. For hopsakee, because this is still her 'yaw' universe. For lesstraveled, because I promised her I'd steal her title from her one of these days ('snails and oysters').

first erin and now you.
hard to breathe here, it is positively humourous trying to see me gasp away like a fish and be unable to concentrate on something that reads here: "the liver is a major organ involved in the regulation of body chemistry", and replace "liver" with "cathy", because i swear, it is make me breathe a little more, a little harder too, but a little more.

Yanagi smiles. "You can't throw it so hard. You want it to float, not to sink. Like a boat, see. You let go of it."

You know, I thought this was possibly the best linking line I have ever read, I'm not even sure how I can articulate this? I want to give you tonnes of feedback that is essay-length, but I have no time and I hope my heart will suffice. <3. Your fics molest the hell out of me.

Hi, sorry, I woke up this morning and needed to give you a bit more of a review because I've been thinking about this fic all night. ._. Uh yeah, dork, me. XD <3

Fandom!Marui courtesy of anibe, I swear to god. She makes such a wonderful Marui.

As for the "but he makes a move...", I thought alot about it too. I settled for "but" because I wanted to contrast what Marui was doing with what Yanagi was doing. Yanagi throws like you should, almost horizontally, with his arm swinging around his side, but Marui does it almost vertically, with the arc of his arm next to his head. He basically throws it overhand. So it sounds a bit more awkward, but I think it makes it a little clearer what he does as opposed to actually skipping the stone? Basically that whole paragraph is supposed to mean "Marui tries too hard".

<33333333 the ending being, of course, the thing that I started out with.

you make me so jealous with your ability to write even though i am dying over here from school. >:E

I adore this, so, so, so badly, and I feel my outlook on Niou sort of-- shifting? It's a lot to take in at once, and again, the way you pull through images and symbols and metaphors make my heart hurt. I always picture your Yanagi as gen, even though the fic doesn't call for it, and it's his detachedness to everything, everyone, and god, you're fantastic <333333

[two_if_by_sea]

DUDE DID YOU PICK UP THE STUDY GUIDE FOR OSMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES? THE QUESTIONS. WTF. SOME OF THEM ARE NOT ANSWERABLE. PERIOD.

Go me and my annoying symbols and metaphors. *pokes your brain* I actually do not have the slightest what Yanagi is supposed to be like, and yet everyone requests him, so I guess I am sort of stuck writing him. *sigh*

YOU ARE FANTASTIC. WE REALLY DO NEED TO WATCH PING PONG. THE TEMPTATION IS KILLING ME.

[rondaview]

.. Even during the /school year/ you write more than me (and better, but need that be mentioned? it's sort of a given). And before we were being ground to pieces by school, you, you still did. How.

(also !!!!!!!!!!!!

What are these requests you speak of? Cannot I request myself?? Pretty please. ^/\^)

[two_if_by_sea]

Ahahaha. I am just long winded, is all. (AND YOU ARE GOOD WTF.) And because I have so many requests. Which, speaking of those, were requested IN THE BEGINNING OF SUMMER. So you are sort of out of luck, unfortunately.

(throw one at me. I'll see what I can do.)

[rondaview]

NEJINARUUUUUU. But no Neji dying out in the snow with Naruto weeping over his frosty body, comprende? =D

.. but, oh wow, you too! how did I ever happen to miss that thread considering the fervor with which I followed you way back then???;;;; :O then again I doubt you could ever /ever/ get around to beating me in the slow!department. (<--has got all of about two requests done in the greato span of um, SIXTY DAYS. *is clearly awesome*)

[cherprudence]

Oh I am melted. Yanagi=super love, Niou/Marui are FOREVER SO GREAT and just waiii. It's all so wonderful. I love this universe and I love your writing and waii, I just love it!!!!

[two_if_by_sea]

*takes a deep bow* Thank you!

[windsor]

um. um. um. what everybody else said, and what niche said, because it says everything so much better, but.

i really wish that i could give this fic the feedback it deserves, but homework is staring me in the face and right now is quite honestly not the time to tangent off into rambling paragraphs about how much i adore this fic. :(( know that i love this endlessly?

[two_if_by_sea]

oh god i know, school is such a killer. <33333333333

I love YOU endlessly.
