Sooooo...this is okane's fault. :P She made this comment on my first Shuuhei/Kazeshini story, and then liralen made another comment, but by that time the muses were all over this shit*laughs* No, really. I wanted to write more with these two characters, I just didn't know how. The aforementioned repeat fic-enablers just happened to do their thing at just ( Read more... )

heh...your location, according to google maps, is in the Czech Republic. :)

Glad to see you're posting writings again!

zangetsugirl March 13 2009, 05:12:52 UTC

What. The. Hell. How did you get that?

*laughs* I've just been lazy lately. I could have been posting more, I just haven't gotten off my butt and polished everything up for posting.

Apparently it translates as "my hotel"? http://maps.google.com/maps?q=my+cave

I dunno...Debs would be better at such things than I. I just clicked the location link out of curiosity.

And...back to my paper. When I finish this, I can really start getting excited for May! (and the 12 assignments I have left over the next 9 weeks) woohoo!!!

*clicks link as well* Weird. The actual "cave" is just a room in the back of the house with a really comfy chair, a TV and a crapload of nearly-full bookshelves. *shrugs* Oh well.

Good luck with all the school work!

*aghast* Me shut the plot bunnies up? You shut the plot bunnies up! Geez, woman.

If you liked the almost-but-not-quite-there interaction in this one, you're going to love the next one. This is Shuuhei and Kazeshini when they're cooperating, which...says a lot, come to think of it.

They aren't enemies. They don't hate each other. They're partners, they're part of each other, and they do care about each other. They just don't see eye to eye half the time, and that's on a good day. I get the oddest sense of inevitability whenever I write these two--like one day, they're either going to finally get it, or finally fall completely. And I'm not quite sure what that means, either way, just. Yeah. Definitely complicated ( ... )

liralen March 15 2009, 01:58:58 UTC

MMmmmmmm... yes.

That makes far too much sense. He is human and Kazeshini is not. I love what Kazeshini can work with to make sure his shinigami doesn't snap, break when so young, he'd figure it out.

I really like your Shuuhei. *happies*

zangetsugirl March 19 2009, 07:15:24 UTC

Mm-hmm. Kazeshini's in his element while Shuuhei's in the middle of a breakdown. It's a difference that I suspect Shuuhei examines far more closely than most other shinigami. Kazeshini, though, he's just an old soldier out to do his job and make sure he and his get home safely. I have the strongest suspicion that what was a traumatic and horrifying experience to Shuuhei was more akin to just getting his feet wet for Kazeshini. It's even more interesting because he never comes off as malicious to me, just matter-of-fact.

...Even allowing for the marked differences between a human and a zanpakutou, the two of them really have such different viewpoints. So much of the conflict between them is that they're looking in two different directions and swearing that they see the same thing.

I'm liking Shuuhei much better now than I used to, I'll admit. *grin* Aaaaaannd, I'll stop babbling now. I should know better than to reply to comments late at night.

OOH. How did I ever miss this one?

I think you did hit the mark. Everyone has a breaking point -- this is Senbonzakura and Byakuya in On His Knees, only sharp and immediate rather than creeping up on them over time. "MY shinigami. You're not allowed to break. :P"

And it makes sense that Kazeshini hates Tousen. (You're up to date in the manga, right?)

zangetsugirl April 7 2010, 23:03:23 UTC

*laughs* You've been reading through the series today, haven't you? No one just stumbles on my TZC stuff unless they're looking for it. While you're reading this pair, did you catch the next two in this set, Killers and Dreamers and Walk the Path You Set Before Me? You'd especially like the last one, I think ( ... )

infiniteviking April 8 2010, 03:16:21 UTC

I have, when my computer would work. XD First one I did see, and I was commenting on the other but had to go out for a while -- you should get the comment in a few minutes. :D

True! And their personalities make the struggle completely different for each shinigami. (I know I'll never get tired of reading them.)

Tousen... hmm, it's hard to explain. He and Shuuhei and Komamura had a massive fight, extending over several chapters, and we found out a lot more about what Tousen put himself through all those years leading up to his defection, and the effect of it all on Shuuhei. It was mixed up with some stuff about Tousen's new powers that a lot of people found cheesy, but the whole thing's heartbreaking in places; you should read it for yourself. (Canon is still in the fight scene above Fake Karakura Town, but a lot of stuff has gone down since everyone assembled: some awful, and some awesome, as always happens. >_> We found out more about Katen Kyokotsu's powers too, and Shinji released his shikai, and Toshiro went ballistic on Aizen, ( ... )
