Oh, I love both of these. Poor Misa, always thinking Raito will come. *hugs her* But being so brave and bitter all at the same time.

The second one was brilliantly creepy. I really liked it actually - it felt terribly canon somehow and I felt so bad for him. That one was just brilliant.

I really like Misa's combination of bravery and horribly misplaced faith. (You actually gave me the idea for this one! You were talking about my Malory Towers/Handmaid's Tale crossover from an earlier Lent, but you said "Misa in the Handmaid's Tale" by mistake. I STOLE IT AND RAN WITH IT ^^)

Thank you! First time writing the actual Repo characters, so I'm glad you liked it. *cuddles Nathan*

I've not read The Handmaid's Tale since I was sixteen, but I remember being very disturbed. Misa's behaviour and devotion to Light almost seems heartwarming until you remember what she has faith in, exactly.

And poor, poor Nathan. :(

[versipellis]

Yeah. I was like, "awww, her faith would give her hope in this awful situation... but it's faith in him, so she's bound to be let down -_-; "

*hugs him*

Thank you ^^

Indeed. :(

I really like the bit about her being like a doll that's never been taken out of its box, too. Things like that raise the idea of her innocence as a person. Because she is, in a way, but not in a way that is necessarily good, just in a way that's ignorant.

The combination of innocence/purity and evil/death/trauma in Misa is a theme I really like. And how ignorance and faith play into that. Helps that she dresses like a doll quite a lot, too ^^
