[kh fic] Deceitful Above All Things, an Axel/Roxas novella
Okay, this is for real guys. Careful: this one may break a few browsers.
Title: Deceitful Above All Things
Fandom: Kingdom Hearts
Length: 18,670 words. OMG WTF.
Rating: A filthy, filthy R
Summary: The heart is. [30 Amnesias]
I wrote this fic over an insane period of three months, starting from the first hitch-pitched noise I made in the name of discovery -- discovery of the gayness inherent in that which we fondly refer to as "the bastard child of Disney and Squenix." Thanks everyone for all the pom-pom ra-ra, the hand-holding, and for physically restraining me from the termination clinic -- especially in the last weeks when I was in turns obnoxious and neurotic and whiny.
Awesome props to yountilla for pulling the quickest, dirtiest beta she knew. At least one of us has to have played the game.
Like most of my more ambitious (and thus, longer) projects, I don't really expect this story to catch on -- we all know the world of fanfiction is dominated by pithy punchers and breathless epics. But it has been a weird and kind of awful three months; I'm just glad to have reached the finish line. Your comments of course are still happy crack to me, and I'll be sure to treasure and reply to each and everyone of them with the sincerity and squee-age each deserves.
Love, for me, will always be a warm and drowsy truce -- something to wrap yourself in.
PS, Can you catch all the Disney (and non-Disney) references I've planted around this? Kiss, kiss, Mai ♥
Notes:
- Haría todo por ti: roughly, 'Everything for you', or, 'For you I would do everything.'
- Excerpt from Pablo Neruda's poem La Muerta -- no, I didn't quote a complete section, just picked out the lines I liked best from one :|
forgive me
if you are not living
if you, beloved, my love, if
you have died
all the leaves will fall on my breast
it will rain on my soul all night, all day
my feet will want to march to where you are sleeping
but I shall live
