Something as Simple As Boys and Girls Gets Tossed All About

[sciathan_file]

Okay, I really finally cracked and did an entire minor character fic.

This would make about 96 pages I've written in a month...*dies*

This fic, is actually so long that it has to be posted in two seperate chunks...*dies again...*

But, this is a (very belated!) Birthday/Christmas/Request fullfillment for namistai8. This is my definitive word on Yuzuru

Reading, I couldn't help but wonder how you were going to decide their meeting and how they were torn apart. I liked how you made Adele seem fully realised as a person in her own right and not simply as the mistress but someone who helped Yuzuru accept himself. But not enough, the hold his mother over him is still strong and I liked the confrontation scene between them. Yuzuru is weak, in many ways but he does love Tamaki and Adele.

Ah, yeah.../end ramble/ I'll just go to part 2.

There is a lot in this fic that remains a bit nebulous...really, I could have written out every single thing in my head and have it be even more ridiculously long...but I really just wanted to do vignettes that flesh out Yuzuru a bit. I've hinted that the affair is at least tacitly (and only initially) sanctioned by Adele's father because he understands that this is a man that his daughter does indeed love.

And there goes my mind again, off running with ideas. This hulking monolith might have a number of offshoots as well...

The original fic actually ended at part 1...but that was before the plot bunnies attacked and ate me entirely. ~_^U

Ooooooh, rambling.

BWHAHAHAAHA!

Lovely. I'm really enjoying it.

Did you have to name her after Victor Hugo's daughter? Or did you chose the name after some other character?

Uh, I went on a French naming website a long time ago and tried to pick out name meanings. So, if my scrawled notes of the original outline (which is from somtime last summer...this is how long this whole fic has been sitting around in my brain), Adele means "rich and blessed" while Bontecou means "good turn of the mind."

But, then again, all the French I know is "I'm a delicious strawberry" and random single word phrases, so I don't know of said website's accuracy. ^^

haha.. all i know is 'i'm a small pea' and 'off with her head!' in french XD

I was wondering. Adele was Victor Hugo's daughter... and she went absolutely nuts. She fell in love, obsessively, with a British officer and followed him around. Like stalked him in different countries. Eventually, she died.

Crazy, I tell you.

I wondered because you picked such a tragic name. And in the back of my head, I had Tamaki's mother going insane.

Meaty stuff, i love it.

Yuzuru is portrayed at least to my mind, perfectly. There's always this fatalistic edge i feel with him that, as a bastard, and removed from the opressive family aura for much of his formative years, Tamaki avoided.
Great so far, moving on in a sec. ^^

You know, with our combined French skills, we could make a really short Theater of the Absurd play.

The first time I met Yuzuru in the manga, he actually quite shocked me...which is a difficult thing to do. I read his line "I love to see him cry" or something to that effect and immediately thought , "OMG Tamaki's father is the devil!" But yes, Yuzuru can't escape his upbringing and all of the duty forced on him...by the time Tamaki's Grandmother gets to him, Tamaki's ideas on life and his identity are already very much formed whereas Yuzuru's has always been built around family identity and honor and such.

I'm glad you're enjoying it, thus far, I'll probably ramble at you more when you get to the next part! <3
