Love and Sandwiches

[ellorgast]

I can't imagine why so many people want to murder me for the previous fic. It's not like I killed a baby or anything.

But fine. FINE. Here is something short and crappy with minimal angst and a Neil. This takes place right after Surfacing, because people were asking why Neil wasn't there. And whenever she is able to come back, this is for V,

The best kind of Neph! Except for sandwich-eating Neph and sleeping naked Neph.

[venusorbit1]

What about covered-in-red-paint-and-weeping Neph? Or covered-in-red-paint-and-making-out-with-girls Neph? Or sleeping-in-library Neph? Or pube-shedding Neph?

(Or trying to impress Makoto Neph! I can't wait to see Neil tackle that shit!)

What I'm trying to say is: any Neph is the Best Neph. He should eat a sandwich while sleeping naked.

Sold at this line: "You are so brooding. It's like your thing. You're brooding like a broody thing who needs his own Batcave to brood in."

I love this: the banter, the friendship, the snark and the all too human fear of rejection. Once again, you wrote something that is utterly perfect.
And you made me smile when Kain just goes "Pff, Venus. Who cares?" and instead is literally sick with fear because Endymion in his newest incarnation might not love him before. The way you described their SilMil relationship here made me ship it a little bit, you evil minx. :)

It's awful to laugh at my own jokes, but I still kind of snicker every time I reread that line. The Neil in my head comes up with the silliest things.

Aw, thank you so much! I'm surprised you could consider this one perfect, because to me it seems all sorts of unpolished, but I'd rather post this than nothing.

:D My work here is done.

I disagree. When the joke is good, you should laugh. And that one was comedy gold.

EEEEEEEEEEE

OH GOD Monstersock verse! It's like you KNEW what I needed right now!!! Thank you soooo much and YAY OH GOD KAIN AND NEIL IS LIKE BEAUTIFUL BROMANCE!

Oh. Oh Kain, you noble idiot. I hope that when they finally meet, Mamoru beats his ass black and blue for risking his life to play telephone, although I'm sure he's grateful for it now. OH GOD. How close is he to meeting Sleeping Neil in the library?? You should go back to that and stick a sandwich in there somewhere, because then you have sleeping, sandwich Neil: add the socks and you have a hat trick.

I love how he got him a sandwich, too. LOOOOOVE it. LOVE IT. Well, except for this:

Black olives, banana peppers, no onions. You freak."

YES, I CONCUR. D: Who puts that on MEATBALLS??? BUT THEN:

"What? We're just having polite dinner conversation, bro." The brunette peeled open his sub, which must have had every single topping that Subway would allow him to pile on, plus double cheese and a generous smearing of ranch dressing. Yeah OK Neil wins the grossness award. Bleccch. Anyway

V! I'm so thrilled to see your comment. No V makes Spirit sad. I was determined to come up with something involving Neil for you, and also something to remind everybody that Kain's Not Dead Anymore So Stop Crying

Re: EEEEEEEEEEE

[venusorbit1]

Well he WAS DEAD and I can say that I've killed his partner and his children but never HIM so HA. You are officially evil, and you mentally tortured for him for about a year, too.

Hey I used to sneak a lot of things in the library. Let's just say UH's library has floors that are open air and have giant lanais that are uh, unstaffed.

You're making me want to go to Subway now and get the "Neil" special...and hey I eat pineapples on my burgers sometimes! What are you trying to say!!!??!?! >:(

Speaking of the clutches of bromance, would you terribly mind if I started fucking with your characters again? April Fool's Day and the ensuing fuckery give me lots of ideas on some bromantic bonding wherein Mamoru learns that the more they fuck with you, the more they <3 you. :) If not, that's OK. I can send over a framework and when you're not so busy you can give it the "Spirit Touch". This would also be WAAAY after your planned brobonding, which I'm SURE is NOT cheesy and lame, you tool. IS it naked hocky? Nothing says bonding like naked

Re: EEEEEEEEEEE

[ellorgast]

I don't see how you are LESS evil for killing his KIDS.

UVic library employs students as "shushers" who go around shushing people who talk too loud and also catch people trying to eat. Don't worry, he'll get his sandwich in that story.

I am not judging. Just saying it's kinda weird. :D

HELL NO I wouldn't mind you writing them again! That sounds wonderful. DO IT. WRITE IT V.

Hmm, I shall contemplate this. You have all the best ideas about this stuff.

[charliechaplin2]

Fuck it. I couldn't resist. I had to read this one too.

Dammit Spirit, I have to *work* you know! I am so totally not reading the next part.

[ellorgast]

Aw Charlie! Sorry for pulling you away from your responsibilities. Thanks for the awesome comments, though!

[charliechaplin2]

This is so cute. I have serious love for this. From his choice in sandwich (hell yes!) down to the banter about their respective nations.

Oh, and did I mention THE FACT THAT KAIN IS THE MOST ADORABLE MAN EVER!!!!!!!!!!! He's worried that Mamoru, MAMORU, won't like him. The guy who's been blatantly pining for him since forever. It's so cute and utterly normal and it just shows how deeply he cares.

Also, I really like that Neil picks up on what bothers Kain. You create such a realistic loveable bro-dude that it's easy to forget he's a Shitennou. Which means he's clever and talented and well, good at picking up stuff.

MONSTERSOCKS FOREVER BABY YEAH!!!!!!

[ellorgast]

The guy who's been blatantly pining for him since forever.

Oh it is so true. Mamoru's prepared to cast himself into Kunzite's arms and ride off into the sunset with him.

THANK YOU CHARLIE! <3<3<3
