I think I like Kurogane POV better.

Jun 08, 2007 22:29

So much for longer stories.

Title: What He Had To Do
Fandom: Tsubasa
Wordcount: 128
A/N: Inspired by the Sarah McLachlan song, "Do What You Have To Do".

Kurogane knew of prices far too well. And he knew life came at the highest price of all, a price nothing to do with the transaction.

He could only hope that someday the revulsion would leave Fai’s face ( Read more... )

fanfiction, fic: tsubasa

Fuck, it was beautiful ;__; reminds me of one of my favortie books and André Gide "La Porte Étroite" <3 it's gorgeous.

iambickilometer June 9 2007, 16:36:41 UTC

which book? I'd like to read it...

but thank you! I'm glad you like it so much.

you should give me requests too...[needs inspiration for more stories]

By André Gide I meant... I don't know the english title... the french one is "la porte étroite". It's really good... It's about a guy who only does the hardest thing to get the girl he loves, never taking the easy way... it's really beautiful, and so well written, too.

You're very welcome.

Requests?! *O* Mmh... bathtub, hair, reading glasses... what else? I'll tell you when I find others ;) I'm glad you are asking me this *O*

Maybe I can find it in English or Spanish...[/hopeful]

ooh...I don't think I can manage to make THAT angsty. Sounds fun. Will commence...at some point today.

Aw. I guess you can only do what you can. >: Poor Kurogane.

iambickilometer June 9 2007, 21:09:44 UTC

Indeed.

Ah. you raise my self-esteem, much lowered from clamp_rants where everyone's saying how awful all the Tsubasa angst is. Thank you.

shadow_piper June 9 2007, 22:03:54 UTC

*laugh* well...CLAMP practically owns the word 'agnst' now. It's to be expected, so there should be allowance for fanfictions about CLAMP characters to be agnsty. No problem at all.

iambickilometer June 9 2007, 22:33:06 UTC

And I like the angst. Angst is fun, provided there's a concrete reason and it's well-used.

Oh so love it! <3
You painted one of the most heart-breaking moment in a very sweet way from Kuro's pov! ç_____ç

iambickilometer June 10 2007, 04:54:42 UTC

I'm glad you like it!

Kuro POV is fun. Oh so fun.

Thank you! evilteddybear10 June 18 2007, 01:35:17 UTC

This is a beautiful fic. You managed to make Kurogane sweet without making him COMPLETELY out of character. Because he is sweet, but he's not sugary, and he's always serious. But yeah, usually Kurogane's character is hard to pinpoint. I couldn't even get near finding a description of his character that truly suits me before I read this fic. It's that feelings are actions, not words ( ... )

I am blown away by your praise. (Seriously. It's taken me a good few minutes to be able to reply...)

It's nice to know my interpretation of Kurogane is so agreed with. Characterization is probably the most important aspect of my writing, so I like knowing other people approve. :D

Yay! I don't have to eat my own words. Pulling off angst-with-a-point is one of life's greatest joys, I believe.

I have never had trouble expressing myself (it's getting me to shut up that takes effort), it's true. Thank you! I...honestly never expected such amazing praise. Ever. [does a little twirl]
