Title: Communication I: Talking
Description: Finding the right words is never easy. Sometimes, it's downright impossible.
A/N: Part of what I hope will be a four-piece set. Takes place in the same universe as Two Truths and a Lie, which should be read first. The second part takes place directly after the events of Two Truths and a Lie, and the first ( Read more... )

The tension stark in her drawn face did not lessen, only shifted as it might in a man who, expecting to face a lion, now found himself facing a tiger. - perfect description, totally made me crack up :D
it would have been difficult to explain the simultaneous disappearance of five royal princesses. - i very much like this, along with the implications of the rest of what zoi's saying. these little glimpses of your version of their past are so intriguing!
“Don’t you remember? I taught you it myself. It is the inversion of the rune for memory.”
“Oblivion.” - so, so sad. this is such a lovely and quiet moment between mamoru and jadeite, i don't see those two interaction as often as, say, mamoru and kunzite or jadeite and zoisite, so this scene is most welcome.

hm, i never really thought too much about which of the shitennou gets the most screen time with mamoru. that is an excellent point. i'm getting pretty fond of reading fics with the set-ups where jadeite is a shapeshifter and serves as mamoru's double -- i guess in those as well they wouldn't get too much time together if they can't be in the same place at the same time! unfortunately my confusion writing makoto also extends to nephrite so i don't have too many mamoru/nephrite scenes either...

And SOLD! It is probably only a throw-away comment on his part, but you know, the idea of Serenity's mother exacting some sort of revenge, force the shitennou into a hell of their own making, is really, really clever. I want more, please.

It is indeed a throw-away comment for Jadeite, but that would be a terrible, terrible outcome. xD

WELL DONE. I love how you write Zoisite: he is scared, but not timid, keen to know more about her, but not greedy. Actually, I love everything you have done in terms of characterisation in this series, and I am both terrified of and excited for the emotional rollercoaster ride M/K are going to be.

This is it exactly! I'm so glad it came across. I think Zoisite does have an element of the possessive/greedy in him, especially where the people closest to him are concerned, but what's holding him back here is getting too invested in what's happened to her since it means acknowledging that it's happened in the first place.
Actually, I love everything you have done in terms of characterisation in this series, and I am both terrified of and excited for the emotional rollercoaster ride M/K are going to be. I feel like I may be treading a line between making the characters too angry/sad all the time and having them sufficiently rounded out, so I'm very happy to hear that you like the characterizations! It's surprisingly difficult to get M and K face to face with each other, but there is a fairly angsty bit coming up for them in Part V. xD
