Author: kazaera
Rating: Call it PG
Genre: Introspective stuff. Rather angsty, I guess.

ooo... i like these. :D Goku's is so typically... well... Goku. XD

"You are reasonably certain her eyes were not red."

for some reason.... i found that oddly amusing.

kazaera February 27 2006, 22:18:31 UTC

Aww, thanks! I'm glad you like them and I'm glad you think Goku's worked out, because that one gave me the most trouble.

I like that line best of that piece. It's somehow very Hakkai where the rest of the fic isn't as much.

detamina February 28 2006, 12:53:26 UTC

I like the line too - I just find it amusing. XD

Well... maybe the rest of the fic is more mildly-angst-Hakkai? Which isn't something you often see in the anime. Well, not really angst, more like the 'serious' side the anime doesn't.... 'promote'... um... reinforce? not as much as his smileyness and odd humour, at any rate. Or something... yeah....

It's not just the Saiyuki fandom... butbutbut....tis amusing how people tend to use the characters as... adjectives. Ahh... my english teacher would have an epiphany over this.

True! Visible mildly-angst-Hakkai is almost OOC by definition because he almost always covers it up and when he can't cover it up anymore it's much more than mild angst. Which is probably also why they can't show it in the anime very well. But it doesn't seem OOC here, which I'll blame on the pov *love for second person*

But, but, they make such good adjectives! And when you keep talking about characters and their traits it makes so much sense to just adjectify them because it saves so much hassle! I mean, what else am I supposed to say? ;_; ;)

*hearts* I think you did really well with this and I like the Gojyo's went (don't alot of people?.A lovely little peice that describes them all so well.

Mmm, I loved these. I actually liked Sanzo's the best. The line about missing the others' noises when he can't hear the rain...you win. Great job, I love it. :)

houseofsmoke February 27 2006, 15:08:00 UTC

Yeah, the mention of Hakkai's infamous nightly laughter was superb.

kazaera February 28 2006, 23:44:59 UTC

Thanks!

I'm not exactly sure how the rain worked its way in there but it did and worked quite well so I kept it. And Goku would so snore, although Hakkai still wins for most disturbing nighttime noises.

Also, you're the first person who liked Sanzo's best so you get a cookie. ^^

water_pig March 1 2006, 19:19:18 UTC

Excellent, cookie for me. :) Now keep writing more wonderful Saiyuki fic and I'll think about sharing it with you.

These were excellently done. You did a fantastic job of capturing each voice, and I think of capturing something essential in each character.

kazaera March 1 2006, 00:36:17 UTC

*blushes at the compliments*
Thank you! I was a bit worried about the voices as I'd never done second person before, so I'm glad you think they worked out - and equally glad to think I got the characters as well. *blushes again*
Thanks for commenting!

You... write art.

Gosh. I can't decide which I like best, actually. They're all gems; they all capture the essence of each character so well.

Love the fact that Hakkai's nightly laughter got in there. ^_^
