 Moth Gypsy 2008-10-03 . chapter 1This has a very different feel from most of your older works, but I cant really place why. Maybe because its all Kakashi? I like it, never the less, you are my favorite author, so Im really happy to see all these new posts ^__^
I love the image of a carnival, its the perfect symbol for childhood, yet at the same time its filled with mystery (mystique?) and there is almost something wrong with it. So, its good. |
 Nikkapillar 2008-07-22 . chapter 1That was the best story I have ever read. Your style is amazing, and I've learned a lot. I can't explain to you why that was so wonderful, but I think you already know. It was wonderful because of all the things you used that are different from everybody else's stories. You should know what those are. ;p
'Cause... I really can't find the words, but this was perfect. The whole thing just stole my breath, it was THE BEST story I have EVER read, not just in fanfiction. You have the BEST writing style. Give me pointers, because I adore you. |
 pillarpair 2008-06-30 . chapter 1I've been keeping track of your stories for quite some time now and was quite delighted to see this up on Copycock. I had planned to wait till the end of the year to write a comment (for this and everything else in general), but then I saw it up on ff.n and jkahgdadfh. Really, I've never really been patient.
To start, I flail over the image of little Kakashi with his forehead pressed against the glass because oh he's so cute and yet it's so heartbreakingly Kakashi in the way that you leave out his emotions. It's so detached, and the transition to the cemetery is so smooth and simple and: [his father's grip on his shoulder feeling like cold, rusted metal itself.] ;_; Oh Kakashi.
[The children are excited. (Two thirds of them. The last, stoic, as always.)] I shouldn't love this part as much as I do. But I really, really like that he thinks of them as children, how he splits them up, and then how he walks away with his hands in his pockets as Sasuke watches him calmly. *_* No words for that.
And then the next part, oh, /oh/. [...Sasuke doesn't scatter like the other two. He's looking more solemn than usual.] They're both so tragic. I've long come to terms with the fact that it's part of their appeal, but jdshkadfh. Oh /those two/. :(
And! One of my most favorite dynamic of their relationship: silent communication. I adore it so much, I adore how Kakashi's wary, and yet still wants Sasuke to be there and not willing to break the silence until Sasuke does. And then he breaks it. And they understand each other so well it hurts. They're both two sides of the same coin. They don't know what it is to be loved anymore but still have such a tiny little sliver of hope. jhfsjgdf
And: [Sasuke's feet don't touch the ground,] REALLY, SHOULD NOT BE LOVING THESE LITTLE HINTS AS MUCH AS I DO. Kakashi's so painfully aware. *_*
And: [Kakashi never had the personality to be a teacher, and so he has trouble abiding by the ethics teachers are supposed to.] AND HE DOESN'T CARE. ABSOLUTELY LOVE. *hearts you plenty*
AND AND AND: [...he presses clothed lips gently to Sasuke's, trying to be cautious, though the whole thing is wreckless anyway.] Guh. /Guh./ skdjkgdfgkadfjg By far my most favorite line of many, many hard-to-choose ones. Just, Kakashi kissing Sasuke with his mask still on; that alone can render me in a happy pile of happy and oh. I love it. So much. And then when Sasuke pulls down his mask without even asking because he doesn't need to and then OFFERING KISSES. *_* I just. dskjghj flaily mess. *_* *_* *_* (Oh! Um, reckless instead of wreckless? :-?) Yup, brain activity declining. *_*
By far just what I needed. Not too angsty, not too fluffy; absolutely gorgeous. I don't know what it makes me feel. Somewhat sad and hopeful at the same time and yet not. It's a standstill, and neither of them will be able to move forward unless someone takes a step, or they both do, but it's tiny steps, and they'll get somewhere together. Eh.
[...they share a quiet moment, captured at just the right time, for once, able to feel the perfect emotion.] And this was my attempt at a perfect adoration for this perfect piece. NOT SURE I SUCCEEDED, BUT ALAS. Really love this, really happy that you wrote it, really happy in general. Thank you. *hearts* |
