kingdom hearts -- moonlight crucible

[scenotaphs]

title: moonlight crucible
wordcount: 452
rating: PG-13
warnings: Implied Saïx/Kairi.
synopsis: Her grandmamma had warned her of many things; amongst them were the customary cautionary tales told to overcurious children.

MEM'ING THIS. I may not be a Saix/Kairi fan, BUT OH MY GOD, the structure, the diction, the imagery and the metaphors and everything in this makes it a stunning, unforgettable piece. You've outdone yourself with this, I feel ;; Its just, so enchanting in so few words, I'm amazed you captured so much! This is unbelievable I am serious don't be modest or the spoon will come out in full force.

But I think 'fishhook' smile/curve/etc has been overdone a lot in your works! And this was really so purple... but it added to the feel rather than choked it, so I have no big qualms about this. Greatness, I see it here before me now.

IN LIEU OF A PROPER 'AWW BIG HUG' ICON, HAVE THIS.

:D

IDK WHY BUT EVERYBODY WHO READ/COMMENTED ON THIS HAVE SO FAR MEM'D IT AND I DON'T QUITE GET WHY. I MEAN, I LIKED IT AND ALL BUT YEAH.

Haha, the structure was a spur-of-the-moment thing I chucked in like that. It started out in proper story structure, like, full lines and all, but then I thought, 'oh wait, let's try be ~*~*indie~*~ and make it into blank verse herp derp!'

Oh, I won't be modest here. I OPENLY ADMIT THIS BLANK VERSE STRUCTURE PLEASES ME. As for the original, bleeeeeurgh.

ORZ YEAH. IDK WHY EITHER, but it's one of those phrases that plays on constant loop in my head. It's so annoyingggg. That, and clothespin-WHATVER.

Ahahaha yes! See, when I think poetry, my mind whizzes to T.S. Eliot, Heaney, and a whole bunch of other poets and bam! Everything goes through an ultraviolet filter, which is several bajillion times the strength of my normal lavender one.

WHY THANK YOU, YOUR WORDS HAVE ME WEARING A HUGE INSANELY GOOFY GRIN RIGHT ABOUT NOW.

*laughing* in my case, at least, saïx/kairi + prosetry + fairytale theme = a near-personalized love letter to ceci, so iiiii made many small squeaking noises (and still do, on reread. :3)

[scenotaphs]

Haha, near-personalised love letter? More will be coming your way, then. I've just spotted the Marluxia/Naminé thirteen floors challenge and oh god I want to do that.

Well, as I've said already, I'm gratified to know you liked it (:

THANK YOU MY DEAR. ❤____❤

Heh, now that everyone keeps saying that to me, it's honestly getting to my head and ARGH now I think this is the best thing I've ever written. Which I hope is not the case, because I want to be able to top this sometime.

Your words, they warm the very cockles of my heart. Pish-posh, I have stolen nothing! I'm really glad you like it, and that on a whole it's been received pretty well for what I'm inclined to believe is something that was hastily cobbled together to make the deadline (which I still failed to do, haha!)

Mm, I might possibly be able to, come to think about it. That's quite an astounding fact, because...well, the few times I tried writing anything original, it pretty much died before it came into being.

As always, thank you muchly for your comments, they mean a lot to me ❤

I hope you've been keeping well; from what I heard last time, rehearsals and whatnot were eating you alive ;;

(: Well, anything about Marluxia and Larxene is golden. It's enough that they're bashed (or have their characters utterly violated) by...ah, some members of the fandom -- what with Larxene being female and therefore not perfect for their fantasies or whatever, and Marluxia being a flaming pansy cupcake. I feel that as a writer and as a member of the KH fandom, I have to somehow make up for that in however which small way I can, and that is by portraying them as who they should be -- or, rather, how I perceive them to be

HEART THIS.

I love Organization pairings like this- just make my life. And the allusion to Little Red and the fact that I heart fairy tales so much made this much more awesome.

[scenotaphs]

Glad you think so!

Yeah, agreed. Sure, it's unorthodox and definitely not everyone's cup of tea, but the potential in them is so great.

Fairytales are brilliant, especially the original versions in all their dark, twisted glory. Not to mention, some of the gritter retellings -- I quite liked Neil Gaiman's take on Snow White, because not only because of the fact that it's told from such an unexpected point of view, but it gives us a whole new insight on the fairytale.

Thanks for reading and reviewing (:

[arisu_rin]

Irony, I was just getting interested in Neil Gaiman's Sandman. Just wrote a Organization XIII based story on a quote from him yesterday. I might look that Snow White story up.

I've been getting interested in pairing up Organization members with the princesses. It's quote addicted. Do you mind if I friend you? because your a totally awesome person who writes stories about the characters I love.

[scenotaphs]

I've heard lots of people say his writing is brilliant, and so I decided to see for myself. The Snow White one is called 'Snow, Glass, Apples'.

Yeah, same here. I've been converted to Axel/Alice, for one -- after reading this fic somewhere, it's...well, it's brilliant. Addictive is the right word!

And sure, by all means! (:
