Wow. Just. I mean, I totally think this is anti-angst, because having my brain dribble out my ear and splattering on the floor isn't a reaction I associate with ANGST, but there it is. But then you reach the divider and the revelation slams into you like a freight train. So I guess this isn't anti-angst after all :(

You are inside him. You have always been inside him; the Mangekyou swirls and sighs your name.

This line. This line is just so... so.

Oh wow, thank you! :D

I was really, really craving a fic where Itachi is loved and cuddled and told EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE OKAY. But apparently I'm incapable of giving the poor guy a happy ending. SIGH.

btw I BOOKMARKED YOUR STRIPPER FIC. Just so you know I'm not ignoring it, it's on my to-read list this weekend! :D

*glomp*

[ronsard]

I-I also crave those fics. DO THEY EXIST? Can we start a new movement for stories like that please? Yes, True Art Is Angsty, but at this rate I really, really am going to overdose on the tragedy factor, damn this OTP. I should run off to read something happier, like... PWP KakaSaku.

You should know that every time somebody says "your stripperfic", a part of my inner child withers away...

[sinemoras09]

OMG, I don't think they do! *cries*

I want to write a fic called, "Itachi Gets a Hug," where it's completely non-angsty and fluffy and happy but the massacre still happened, but I have no idea how to reconcile those things! Shisui is dead, yo! Unless there's time travel...

OMG. SHISUI FLICKERS TO THE FUTURE.

You should know that every time somebody says "your stripperfic", a part of my inner child withers away...

At least you're not thinking about slashy ninja time travel porn D:

Troubling fixation aside, I love this all the more because of how nicely Madara was done at the end, i-is that bad? You nailed the peculiar interaction he has with Itachi, skimming over the way he mixes his cruelties and kindnesses without making him a caricature.

AND AND I feel like my longing for a fic in which Shisui follows Itachi around as a consequence of the Mangekyou has been sated because of this.

It isn't like your usual writing, which I associate with single-line hitters that have me rereading and overanalyzing 800-word fics as I would 10k-word ones--but it's so beautiful nonetheless. You, ma'am, are no one-trick pony.

[sinemoras09]

OMG. If I wrote it the way I normally write, it'd be like,

"Itachi gets laid. He's pretty sure it isn't real." *headdesk*

I am such a hack, lol. This was definitely an experiment for me - I'm not entirely sure it turned out the way I wanted it to, but it was a lot of fun to write :D I was just telling Mai, I've been DYING to read a fic where Itachi is cuddled and loved. IT'S OKAY, POOKIE, SHISUI STILL LOVES YOU.

I think some of my brain dribbled out my ear. Argle... w(*o*)w

The second-person narrative works really well here, nicely masking (hah pun. Oh god I wasn't lying about my brain D: ) the difference (transition?) between Shisui and Madara.

"Let it be said that I am not unkind."
Your Madara is chilling. Oh god, chilling. I can't even articulate the chilling.

And Itachi. ;-; He is broken and the desire and the guilt and denying himself solace and hey, a nice application of the Tsukuyomi.

The sex scene was... very sweet in its desperation, if that makes sense. Very hot yet bittersweet. ...You balance the mood well, is all I'm saying ^^;

*clapping* Beautiful.

[sinemoras09]

Thank you so much!! :D I'm so glad you liked it - this was the first time I've written in 2nd person POV, so I'm glad it turned out okay :) Poor Itachi. I just want to bundle him up and keep him safe, and I mostly wrote this because I was craving comfort!sex between him and Shisui. Effed up genjutsu!comfort sex, but yeah....

Thank you again! ♥

Aha, this is the latest comment ever. But I just wanted to say that it's the best use of second person I've encountered.

"...the Mangekyou swirls and sighs your name."

Beautiful. On the off chance that you see this, are you still writing ItaShi?

[sinemoras09]

I haven't written any ItaShi in awhile...haven't had any good ideas lol. I'm really glad you like this, though! Thank you for taking the time to comment <3

[kanra_kani]

Woah, but you seems to have written a lot back when you were writing (just saw your journal). It's like a treasure trove. May I friend you?

[sinemoras09]

Sure! Friend away! :D <3
