Why is ItaShi fic always so epically tragic? I love the simplicity of your language; it goes well with Shisui and his singularity of purpose here, even though there's this maelstrom of emotions swirling beneath.
Also I am intrigued this interpretation of Itachi here, that he breaks and cries before Shisui, that he seeks Shisui out first for comfort, whereas before (i.e. in other fic) he has always been carved from marble. He's warmer here and yet, there is this huge responsibility pressing down on him, rendering inert so that he goes along with Shisui's plan anyway. Which, OH CRIES AND TRAGEDY AND -->INSERT RED NOSE AND TEARS IN MY EYES HERE<--
And this: When Itachi appears, Shisui is crying. Startled, Itachi sits next to him, and they stare at the blurry stars reflected in the water.Shisui finally crying! I love your characterisation of Shisui here as well. Protective older-brother-cousin-lover-sacrifice, and as I said before, how you express the clarity and purity of purpose he has here through the language and him feeling hungry
( ... )
If it's a consolation, I told nthcoincident that I'd write her a suicidally happy AU fic, and I was going to do PROM until SOME FABULOUS JERK BEAT ME TO IT, so expect some happiness soon. Though I'm sure I'll manage to work angst in somehow
( ... )
OKAY WAIT WHERE IS THIS PROMFIC AND IS IT POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO LINK ME TO IT? nevertheless! happiness!! is a warm gun okay, don't listen to The Beatles. DON'T.
ooh, yes, indeed, that's very interesting, that having to kill Shisui just cuts him off entirely: it gives him a personality change, in a sense? that would be very interesting to explore. and of course no one who knew him well enough would be left alive to comment on it. other than Sasuke, who has ... problems of his own.
I know! I mean, I suppose you cannot really be counted as a boy, having been trained to kill since the age of 7, but still. what WERE the elders thinking? >:
"secret badass cult meetings" made me laugh, no lie. XD
that was too amazing for words, holy shit. I've seen a few ita/shi fics before but this one is so believable and so, so haunting -- an elegant tragedy. slipping it into my mems now.
downloading the FST now. looks promising. wonderfully done hun!
Thank you so much, seriously. ;-; I've been out of the Naruto fanfic loop for a while, damn Harry Potter brats have been eating all of my time, but I'm trying to sneak back over. ItaShi was so tempting to try.
I'm glad you liked it so much. It's ridiculous how happy I get over knowing people are actually reading this.
