[Katekyou Hitman Reborn!]: "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter" (5927 for Ruka)

[kill_me_faster]

I...really should have had this done a long time ago, but I took kind of a hiatus from the Internet and fandom for a while, so, Ruka, kindly forgive my tardiness? Well, at any rate, I STARTED it, got stuck somewhere around the middle, and said to hell with it back then due to my normal bitchy frustrated-ness. (*laugh*) Hopefully, since I don't feel

YOU!! DAMN YOU! I dont even ship this and I read it! (somehow it didnt turn up on my flist...o_O).

ACK!! 6 was my fav since the ide of Tsuna smoking its rofl funny. 8 was next cuz it was JUST TO FARGAN CUTE!!

Gokudera, pale and cold in the light of mid-November, pulls the scarf he'd wrapped around his neck all the way up to his nose. "Sorry," he mutters, and it's the first and last time he'll say anything like that to the Vongola's Guardian of the Rain.

.....can I just say how much I adore this line...

That's the happiest memory of his life.

The saddest comes seconds after:

"G-Gokudera-kun... Why is the future me...in a coffin?"

~shot through the heart~ When I read that scene in the manga it was the first time I really really felt bad for Gokudera. Just the way Amano-sensei drew his reaction and also when young!goku shows up and find out what happens. It just pulled at my heart strings, that line made me remember that.

Gah your drabbles are good...~bows~

Ahahah, poor Ruka seems to be alone in her 5927 love then, hunh?

Ah, well, I'm glad you read it anyway, Yami, despite not being a pairing of yours and not showing up on your friends-list (O.o?). ALSO, DESPITE THE CHEESY AND KIND OF OPEN-ENDED ENDING.

I mean, I didn't rip off Carson McCuller's WRITING style, or anything like that; I just stole the title of his book.

Anyway.

You said in your other comment that you liked it when I wrote pretentious; which, WHAT KIND OF SHIT WAS THAT, EH? D: But, well, if pretentious made you FEEL this, in a way that you didn't really think you could feel KHR fic, then I'm glad, because it might sound arrogant as all hell, but I was really happy with the way this turned out. Because just about everything else I've been writing lately is either Gemini, OR emulating that wanky, dry, ironic-as-hell style (mini-bang fic), and it's nice to see that the serious stuff I've done is making an impact, too.

I liked the structure, too, and I'm glad you made a comment about how a lot of the lines cut you right to the bone, because I enjoy causing you possibly fatal pain I was trying to utilize the structure to that effect.

ANYWAY, ENOUGH ABOUT THIS OLD STUFF. GOD, I NEED TO WRITE SOMETHING ELSE SOON SO I CAN GET SOME MORE OF THIS HOPE-RELATED PRAISE. :D

Did I call it pretentious? *laugh* Well, I guess I kind of felt that way after I wrote it. And it IS rather pretentious for a fandom like KHR. (Geass is one thing, but Reborn...?) Oh well, I didn't know you, uh, Google-stalked things I wrote. (*I* don't even do that, you ho.)

I'm actually hoping, not to keep talking about this, but that BECAUSE apparently I can be good with Teh Funny AND Teh Heartbreak, that when I write the super-serious scenes in Gemini, that they'll fucking HURT. Because oh, when I hurt in that book, I hurt. It's not all this dry, "oh lol I killed my pop" stuff for some of it - especially %90 of the stuff involving Dorian.

Fundamentally, though, to hear that I'm doing good from both angles is a great relief coming from you, because you're one of the few writers out there that I respect and admire.

On that note...ORIG WRITING IS WHEN? I want to seeeeeee, even if I'm ass at articulating what's good about it.

...WOW...now I can't get this constricted feeling in my heart out; it's like it wants to be painful on it's own. I can't stop thinking about this work of yours...

You, fellow writer, are tempting me to stalk you for more fanfics. :) The sheer level of the quality for this work alone bears testimony to your ability to bring out the most subtle (yet most extraordinary) emotions in the reader. The many unsaid emotions in here that are hinted at, the way that the words flow together so well, and the cutting-edge ICness of Gokudera and the other characters makes this perhaps the best one-sided 5927 fanfic I have ever read, and likely...one of the best KHR fanfics I have ever come across. And, normally I don't read yaoi. Hrm...:DDDDD

Anyways, definitely will be watching ya from now on. :) You're now on my list of fanfic writers in the KHR fandom to look to for outstanding work!
