2007-08-24 . chapter 1Well, you already know that’ve read this first, allowing me to dally over the review. And you also know that I love it like whoa, and that I just watched Jesus Christ, Superstar [actually, do you know that?], which makes the reference just delicious on even more levels.
Ahem. And this doesn’t lend itself to the whole linear drag-n-drop which is my wont, being so short. I’d have to drag the whole fic to cover the wonderfulness, which would be a tad cheesy of me.
So allow me to concentrate on the beginning and ending. The beginning is so perfect - sort of completely at odds with what I know of Yomi and his opinion of human!Kurama, and then “The sudden switch to approval unsettled him” is bank. I adore something about “sudden switch to approval.” Maybe the alliteration of the first two words, but there’s more to it. Just yes.
And then the end. That little threat-warning-offbalancing device could not be more perfectly worded. “Careful” is an interesting choice, out of all the words one could use, sort of gentle. Understated. Ironic. Kind of thing. Then, “if I were you” is just shiver-worthy delicious, because those two’s history, and Yomi trying to live up to Youko, and Kurama trying to live up to his past and also not, doing that whole “redemption” thing when it suits him, and the whole problem of who the freck Kurama IS anyway and who Yomi THINKS he is…
Ahem. I may be overdoing this. But isn’t that the fun of these two? That you CAN’T overdo it? Always layers.
Plus, “At his silence, Yomi smiled indulgently, ‘Yes, it does.’ ” He’s so… cute. In a creepy kind of way. “Indulgently.” I like that. Sort of paternal or something. Which is not where I want to go with this. But… you know what I mean? Because, ‘Haha, I’m stronger and taller and more demony than you now, I get to be condescending.’ And “satisfied.” He’s so SMUG, this whole thing through, through all the tension, and I love it. |
