TWEWY, "Lover's Song I"

[unedited]

Warnings: Spoilers up to the end credits. Cities and their caretakers falling in love, murder of the most foul sort, present tense. Sort of a prequel to The Red Queen's Race but standalone. Also, much shorter.
Contains Joshua, one-sided Neku/Joshua.

"And whose fault will that be, hm?"

That line and the last one... UGH. So bittersweet. I like how Joshua doesn't regret or beat himself up about it, but just accepts the consequences of his actions as if he knew this would happen. Mixed with that, the light tint of melancholy is delicious. IT IS LIKE EATING THE JELLO OF YOUR WONDERFUL CREATIVE JUICES. I look forward to tasting the pudding of your future writings.

Joshua isn't a character who seems (at least outwardly) to regret the things that he does. He's too smart: he's aware of the possible consequences when he makes those decisions. Even if he wishes things could be different, he's not going to let himself mope about it.

I AM GLAD THAT YOUR PALATE HAS BEEN PLEASED BY MY FICTION APPETIZER :D

The last two paragraphs just a;sdlfjkas;lfkj it has a kind of muted feeling that I love reading. Umm, it's sort of like watching on a black and white TV, and then when Neku is resurrected, color seeps into the picture.

Which is a perfect description of how Joshua perceives Shibuya, too -- it's new and wonderful but flat, dull, without Neku. I'm glad that you liked it. :3

I flail you. My heart does massively so.

This was just lovely. I can see it and the characters are so well in character and that makes me hvbtkgwrtbyutfrfglfnlejfk keyboard mashing happy.

Eeee, I'm glad you liked it~ I spend a lot of time wondering about why Joshua saves Shibuya, what goes through his mind when he does it, so hah, this is what comes of it. orz

[lil_blossom]

Liked it? I loved it! I kind of wanted to stamp a Gold Star on it (this and your other one, it made me sososososo happy) and pondered for a moment how I could tag this as "you will read it if you know what's good for you" without seeming like a derranged biased modd. You make everything fit so well. And it flows so well. I also love how you wrote Joshua, it makes my heart flutter for him all over again.

::prods you:: You should join the fic exchange (if only to try to shamelessly get you to write more).

(When Joshua plays the Game, his independence is his entry fee.)
THAT LINE DID ME IN!

Also I know thanks to you have this picture of Neku sweet talking Shibuya, it's a little bizzare and unnerving, but I guess I've pictured odder things.

Ahaha ♥ That's awesome, thank you so much~ And I'm totally sold on the idea of Joshua's independence as his entry fee. X3 It feels very much like him, because he's such a loner even in the forced partnership.

VERY WELL. I shall join your fic exchange. I'm a little nervous about being asked to write something I find weird, but I must learn to suck up my new-fandom jitters and deal! I've played fic exchanges before.

...must work that image into a fic. XD

Ah, it's lovely! <3
