Weiss Kreuz, "Substitute," Aya/Youji, NC-17

[mistr3ssquickly]

I'd been wanting to write this, really, for a long time. Then the picture challenge on the scarlet seduction site caught my attention, and here it came. This was written while David and I were on our honeymoon, because I got sick and we couldn't do *anything* but play video games and write slash. Damnit.

It occurs to me that even though I absolutely adore this story and read it quite often, I've never actually left a comment here.

Bad me!!

This story rocks!! I love it so much. I like how you built the tension in Yohji, making him wonder whose memory was haunting Aya. I like the constant comparisons, but they somehow become individual anyway. I like how Yohji and Aya manage to find their peace at the end together, and you end it with such a lovely optimistic view for the future. (I'm such a sap for happy endings, really... especially with boys who have so much angst readily available).

Thanks for writing this and posting it (1.5 years ago now... o_O;;)

I'm so glad you liked this, hon! Very few people read my Weiss stuff, so it always thrills me to know that someone's reading!

Like you, I'm all for happy, sappy endings for boys with angst. Look at my FMA stuff, it's the same. Pile up the angst, then give them a way out, let them cope, yeah?

I wrote this fic on honeymoon, when I was getting very very sick but didn't know it. A lot of Youji's angst comes from that, I think. When you suffer, make the muses suffer too, right? ^_~

Thank you so much for reading. I'm so thrilled that you liked this! ♥♥♥

Well, two of my major fandoms are Saiyuki and Weiss, so the fact that you (who write so much and so well) also write Weiss is just thrilling to me.

I also intend to leave comments on several other of your Weiss fics (because I love how you handle the boys *purrr* and you don't turn Aya into a complete and total bastard). So that will happen sometime in the next few days/week.

I'm all for happy, sappy endings for boys with angst.

*grin* Well, that's just perfect. I mean, why put them through so much if you can't get them to the 'cuddle and/or sex it better' stage as well?

Mmm Saiyuki ... I tried to watch it right after I got married, but then things happened (I got a teaching job sprung on me) and so I stopped watching it. I'll have to pick that back up, now. Maybe power through a chunk of it over spring break.

Sappy endings that lead to sex are better, for me anyway, than angst that leads to sex. Seems less complicated, somehow.

And just because I've got the link on clipboard right now, have a link to my memories, which make it a little easier to navigate my journal. I hope the rest of my Weiss stuff doesn't disappoint you ... it was written very early, before I had much practice writing. ^^;;;

Thank you so much, hon! You make me smile. *^_^*
