nahco3 posted hers, so I'm doing the same. :) background information: this is based off a brainstorming session inspired by the universe of meretricula's fabulous soulbonding fic the best luck I had was you. the angsty Raul/Mori backstory scenario is outlined here and here in particular

Comments

[distira]

they will never not be heartbreaking

[acchikocchi]

It doesn't help that I go for angst like a shark scenting blood in the water. XD I suppose you could write, like, cute early days fic? but you'd know that tragedy was looming in the distance.

[distira]

jaja brilliant analogy

it's like the thundercloud you know is coming, yet you go outside anyway. even happy early days would be dinged with soul-drenching sorrow because you know how it has to end

[nahco3]

YOU. THIS. SLDKJFLSKDJGLKDJGLKJG. essentially my reaction is unchanged.

I feel so proprietary of all of this though. MINE MINE MINE YOU WROTE IT FOR MEEE MUAHAHAHA and so on.

[acchikocchi]

LIKE I DON'T, as evidenced by the incredibly subtle strikethrough up there.

(YOU KNOW WHAT WILL MAKE ME WRITE YOU MORE THINGS. though maybe this is not the comment I should leave on the heels of, um, another demanding one. I trust you know it's all said with love. and flexibility.)

[nahco3]

LOVE AND FLEXIBILITY, who are you, Sergio Ramos? XD

and I don't mind, don't worry. I'll write more of something for you today.

[acchikocchi]

ksdadlfslfajsdfjldjfdslfds. sergio ramos would never be so unaware of a double entendre.

:D :D :D ♥

I should write too. short vacation is over, I have no more excuses. *prods WIP folder unenthusiastically*

[louis_quatorze]

awwwwww. ;_; This is lovely, though.

(now I want to write soulbonding fic.)

[acchikocchi]

:))) Thank you.

(DO IT. Those old school Arsenalistas are calling you. or, you know, anyone else you felt like.)

[louis_quatorze]

(Freddie Ljungberg and Dennis Bergkamp! I have it all unspooling in my head. But this one is a non-sexual one, so when Jens shows up the next year (they do the bonding in early 2002 after Robert Pires got injured) he's all like "um what can he hear everything" and Dennis is the most intimidating older brother ever.)

[acchikocchi]

.....aw, that is AWESOME. and a nice contrast to the "soulbonding is true love!!1!" crowd over here. *guilty cough*

[meretricula]

I keep meaning to ask and forgetting - would you be all right with me linking this to the original prompt on the kinkmeme? I'm closing up everything I had still going there (blah blah I do not need to put up with this kind of treatment and I am much happier not bothering with that place/my OCD compels me to at least link to where things will be completed instead) but I don't want to publicize your work if you're not comfortable with it.

[acchikocchi]

So sorry for the delay - yes, of course, link wherever you like! It was awfully nice of you to acknowledge my sandbox intrusion in the first place. :)

[meretricula]

all done! and it's my pleasure. :) I'm just encouraging you to do what I want you to!

WHAT.

[labelledcaustic]

WHY DID I NOT KNOW THIS EXISTS IN MY UNIVERSE?

Why. Why. Why does this fic-- why do I want this to be real but not because I don't want them to ever be sad ever, but now I'm sad. And happy. There are many emotions playing here.

Re: WHAT.

[acchikocchi]

Ahahaha I don't know! I'm happy you found it now, though! :D And thank you -- it's not Raul/Mori without lots of Feelings, after all.

(And, er, it's usually pretty awkward to pimp one's own fic but I feel like I should mention that I also wrote a longish Raul/Mori AU back in March, just in case. XD)
