[KinKi AU] The Painter and The Carpenter

[kireira]

Hmm, definitely didn't plan to have so many AUs out and about. =P

This is sort of a side product: started it long ago while I was grasping for something the feel of what would later become Light's End Water's Edge, and now pulled out to completion to exercise my angst muscles for the long-owed shinigami!KinKi AU.

OOh, there was so much I loved about this. You beautifully painted the scenes in my head, and I loved how the whole story is just an analogy of their real lives. How one never really leaves, and the other goes out - only to return <3

[kireira]

Wow, thanks for inferring the analogy! It didn't occur to me before. =P Was just thinking of how their personality difference will play out, and how the encounter doesn't change who they are but sort of adapting and anchoring them to each other. But what you said is a lot deeper. <3

Oh! But that's interesting because it came through anyway! <3

Was just thinking the other day about how even though Koichi does solo stuff, it's really very Kinki-like and he's always stuck to the Johnny's label. Everything is arranged by Kinki's FC etc whereas with Tsuyoshi, his solo stuff aren't promoted by Kinki's FC etc. I know this might be a management issue, but I think it's also because Koichi's solo image is not super far away from the basic JE image whereas Tsuyoshi ventures out a lot further.

But you put all of that in a way that's so much more romantic and pretty and I love you for it <3 I'm glad they're having their real life reunion soon.

Glad it came through! I had it mind something mildly classical.

Your reasoning makes a lot of sense. <3 Kouichi seems to me a very consistent person, he is one core and he's him anywhere and whatever he does (with some amusing results). Tsuyoshi's core is probably much deeper and he's got many layers and facets that are nevertheless all him and his elements. And so I love all the more how they are still so compatible when they come together.
