When I looked how long this was in the scroll bar, I nearly wept with joy. I promise to come up with something coherent enough to adequately express my glee after reading this later on. It will be my friday after work reward.

Okay, whew, took a while to be able to put all my words to all my feels. I've read this twice (so far) and each time had standout elements both from the writing itself, the mood and about Kakuzu. First, absolutely, this line right here, "Gold for the greedy, leadership for the lost, war for the angry and peace for anyone else." Just, so many feels. Umf. Delicious. In itself that line has more applicable truth in the real world, and hence I find it wry and fantastic. Within the story, it's like the center of a spiderweb where a million different connections touching out can be cast, each hitting on a different place, a different relationship, a different placement. I often wonder if I'm not reading WAY more into an author's writing than they intended, making up patterns and raveling together the story in more ways than the true meaning lies, because I can see the warp and weft of that web (as an aside, a spiderweb is not only a home but a tool, and maybe something a little beautiful too in an intricate complex deliberate way) ( ... )

The whole fic is probably more about things happening to Kakuzu than him actually initiating what happens. The scene where he uses "Earth Grudge Fear" probably shows that. It is a bit like being swallowed and being spit out as something else without being able to control the process or the outcome. Furthermore I am bad at writing people experiencing all too strong emotions and therefore always settle for them making sometimes not so logical self-reflective statements therefore I focused more on Kakuzu "dying" as a man and being made into whatever he considers himself to be now. So no great unleashing of his newfound power exept that tiny snippet that comes after ( ... )
