Bleeding Memories

[snoaz]

My first game!fic, and it makes sense it's about Red and Green; they'll always be my favourite protagonist and rival, if only for nostalgic reasons. I hope I did them justice with this piece, both when it comes to their personality and their relationship, the latter of which I find to be quite fascinating.

This is amazing, but you already know my thoughts on this ♥

I can't wait to see what you'll write next! :D

[snoaz]

You'll find out soon enough! (...or perhaps I ought to say 'later enough', what with my fickle writing moods. Ugh).

But your opinion does mean a lot to me, so thanks for the words of support! :)

Thank you! I've always been fascinated by Red and Green's twisted friendship / rivalry / love, so I was glad I had the opportunity to write about it.

And I'm even gladder you liked it, of course. ;D

I loved this! It was so wonderfully intense. You wrote the tension between those two incredibly well.

The apathetic, indifferent Red and the struggling, frustrated Green. ♥ Great job.

[snoaz]

Thanks so much! :D

I was hoping the tension between the two would come across, in order to show how they've grown apart since childhood, so glad I succeeded in that. (Their whole friendship/rivalry is so bitter-sweet, isn't it? And exactly for that reason, lovely to write about :)

Oh, I know, happy endings are always the best. (To read, at least; when it comes to writing, it's the other way around for me). But I thought fluff / make-up hugs / etc. wouldn't fit the fic. I wrote them and their relationship the way I imagined it to be, which is quite noir and bitter-sweet, yes.

Glad you enjoyed it nonetheless, though! :D And maybe I'll write something lighter for these two, someday. Who knows ;D

I must have read this fic like ten times by now.

I love the sense of tension that carries through the whole fic. The last section in italics is really poetic and beautiful. To be fair, it's not the most creative Red/Green plotline ever, but when you're starting on a pairing I think everyone starts by writing their own take on the old, worn tropes and then branching outwards, so that's not a big deal.

I like how you continuously go back to ideas, especially "nothing" and his family pride. You had some interesting slants on Green and Red that I hadn't considered before, and I enjoyed it.

(Sometimes, he understands. Sometimes, he wishes he were on Mt. Silver too.) Little lines like this made this fic brilliant.

So, in short, this was awesome ♥

[snoaz]

Ten times? I am flattered :D

The main reason for me for writing this, was that I felt the need to express my thoughts on their characters (and possible pairing); with the result of there being no plotline, but all the more character analysis, haha.

I'm glad, though, that you liked it. I don't know if I'll write more about them (at this point I feel like I've said what I wanted to say, but who knows...) - but maybe it will be more of a regular story then.

For now, though: thanks for the kind words, and taking the time to r&r! :D It's appreciated.
