on transcending boundaries: story fragment
Where did this come from? I don't even know. I was just sitting in my American romanticism class listening to a lecture on Elizabeth Stoddard, and...THIS happened. I mean, I like it. I really, really like it. I'm on such a Himawari kick lately. And this fic reads sort of shippy. It's not supposed to be-I don't ship this couple on a regular basis.

I'm so glad you liked it. It's probably one of my favorite things to have written. Especially the way current canon is going, I have a feeling these two will have to turn to one another more in the days to come.

It does seem that way. God, poor Doumeki, though. Of all the characters in the series, he gets the absolute most shit for his troubles, and he puts so much of himself into looking after the others. Especially Watanuki.

He really does. I need more Shizuka+Himawari genfic. Even if it breaks my heart.

even though i'm not at all caught up with the recent chapters, i still know a bit about watanuki and stuff, and i've got this mad mad idea that how lovely would it be if doumeki and himawari lived together? as friends, you know, there'd never be any sort of relationship between them, but they'd live together, because they're all they have and they'd share things, doumeki'd tell himawari about watanuki and sleep right next to her when she'd get too lonely, or she'd miss watanuki more than she usually does, and himawari would talk about how it all used to be, and how she misses it, and then she'd smile that ridiculously bright smile she has, and bring cakes from shops and they'd laugh about how the cakes just aren't that good, not when they've eaten watanuki's food, and IT WOULD ALL BE VERY SAD BUT ALSO VERY FABULOUS AND VERY VERY ADORABLE.
... STOP, BRAIN. STOP.

this - this is exactly it. that's what i picture. it's what i WANT for them. because they need it, and because it really is all they have left.
...dammit. i didn't want to extend this ficlet, but now i have to, see, or otherwise i'll always wonder. >.> this is - well, not entirely your fault, but still. I BLAME YOU. ♥

The idea of this universe, it is beautiful, and it is so THEM, or them as I/you/we envision them. It reminds me of my favourite chapter in Tsubasa, when Sakura got that damn egg and killed that ugly ass snake, which was so, so vital for her growth as a character, as a person trying to take control of her life instead of just helplessly living in the shadow of an awful curse. And I love that nod to Furuba.
May I make a confession? I am waiting until I am in the right kind of mood to read your minibang fic, because I have this feeling that it will break my mothereffing heart. Also I have to get to bed early since I'm volunteering for something tomorrow, and I cannot be chipper at eight in the morning if I am still wallowing in the emotional devastation. So please forgive my tardiness. XD

I definitely was pulling from both TRC and Fruits Basket for this piece and the continuation I wrote. This part of your review spoke to me:
which was so, so vital for her growth as a character, as a person trying to take control of her life instead of just helplessly living in the shadow of an awful curse.
I mean, God. Yes. Yes. You know? Of course you know.
And your confession is completely okay. I know what you mean about being in the mood to read something. Whenever, darling - take your time. I'm here. :)
