tomomichiNotes/Babbling: Guess who said, "Hmm, I think I'll get back into the Gravitation fandom again."? Yes, that's right. And most of the fic still sucks. And I BLAME MEG AS IT IS HER FAULT. WHY MUST SHE WRITE FIC THAT I LIKE SO MUCH? *huffs* And then HARU'S FAULT, TOO. Because she mentioned it in an off-hand manner and that sparked a conversation. And then HANA'S FAULT, TOO. Because she loves Yuki Eiri, YukixShuuichi, and TohmaxMika as much as I do and always knows juuuuuuust how to get my engines revving over a series. I BLAME THEM ALL.
(I also have other fics to rec, but wanted to save them for when I could do more than say, "Oooh. Fic good. Fic make Becky happy.")
Series:
Saiyuki - 2 Fanfics
Love Mode - 1 Fanfic
Gravitation - 2 Fanfics
Yami no Matsuei - 2 Fanfics
Cardcaptor Sakura - 1 Fanfic
- Saiyuki - An Interrupted Incident by Fall - I... admit, this story could have used a little work with the wording/speech patterns, because Sanzo was a little nicer than I felt he should be (not so much in tone, but in the way things were said--and, wow, this story really showed me what a Sanzo fangirl I'm becoming >_>;; ) and it just could have used a little polishing. But that doesn't take away from that I enjoyed this fic and that I quite liked Hakkai's characterization here. The dynamic felt right, the interaction kind of sparkled, and it read really smoothly. The little details were nicely done and the entire premise was something that was both cute (if Sanzo/Hakkai can be cute XD) and something that I could believe. So... very fun fic. I liked it, dammit, despite my reservations. I have bad cramps, forgive me. (Sanzo/Hakkai.)
- Love Mode - The World Comprised by Luz Nocturnal - Have I ever mentioned this immense love I have for Takamiya? Because I do. And while I want to smack Izumi sometimes (for exactly the reasons Reiji wanted to smack him), I adore him, too. And this story was just... lovely and really helped to show just how much Takamiya really loved Izumi, why Izumi could fall in love with him, too. Plus, there's some absolutely lovely imagery in here, with some wonderful turns of phrase that aren't distracting, but instead give the pieces this nice flow. Just... lovely writing and on one of my favorite Love Mode pairings. *fangirls* (Takamiya/Izumi.)
- Gravitation - Is it True? by Silverone - Blah, blah, blah, I know Gravitation is a shounen ai series, but, dammit, the het pairings are interesting, too, and almost no one writers Hiro/Ayaka without it being some sort of bad relationship or without them being in love with someone else, so to find a cute, sweet, fluffy fic like this? To find one that's actually well-written and in character and sweet? Makes me heart to happy little cartwheels. Just... they're so cute! and that really comes through in this story. So I'm happy. ♥ (Hiro/Ayaka.)
- Saiyuki - drabble by mistressrenet - So, you know how I try to avoid rec'ing drabbles, because they're short and I want to at least go for a semi-long fic when I rec? Well, that goes out the window when there's not enough of the pairing I'm crushing on. And this was so subtly written, just so quietly how I like to see Sanzo (and Hakkai) that even in just one or two sentences, it captured the feel I crave so badly. Reeeeeeeeead. (Sanzo/Hakkai.)
- Gravitation - Misspelled Love by Ryzuki - I admit, the fangirl Japanese often took me out of this story a little (along with a moment at the end of the first chapter that I really didn't buy), but after reading the first three chapters of this fic... I came away with the sense of feeling goofily warm, because the author has a good handle on the characters, she doesn't go too overboard with the characterizations, because I can recognize Yuki and Shuuichi both, because the writing is quite readable and sailed right along, because it was, honestly fun. The Yuki/Shuuichi dynamic was right--I liked so much that you can tell Yuki loves the idiot, but he's not a sap about it. I love cranky Yuki when he's done right--not too mean, but not nice, either, because that's just not Yuki. But I bought this Yuki. (Jeez, Yuki, Yuki, Yuki. All that's important in Gravi fic (to me) is Yuki, Yuki, Yuki. I swear, I'm Yuki's #2 fangirl some days. XD) Anyway. Cute fic. I had fun with it this morning. (Yuki/Shuuichi.)
- Yami no Matsuei - A good scientist keeps careful notes. by mistressrenet - Dammit, another drabble. But such a clever concept and execution that I had to. Excellent use of the word limit and fantastic Watari characterization even in so short a space. I loved this one so much. (A little shounen-ai, but.)
- Cardcaptor Sakura - A Guardian's Heart by Morgan D - So I was looking for this fic on Fleeting Fancies this morning and couldn't find it. Which means I think I never rec'd it...? WTF? This is one of my favorite CCS fics, like, EVER. I've reread this fic (actually rereading rather than just skimming a few lines here and there) more times than I almost EVER do and it's just... it's everything I wanted after finishing up the CCS series, because it deals with so many issues in such a way that seem so gorgeously natural--Yue and Kero's relationship, Yue's relationship with Touya (which sparkles like crazy *fangirls*), the issues of abandonment from Clow and still-lingering ones with Sakura, and lovely writing and lovely dialogue and, oh, how I adore this Touya so very, very madly, and KISSING. This is a really bad rec for this fic, which was one of the first ones I ever read that dealt with Touya and YUE, yet still remains one of my favorites for them. The other thing that I really love is that it doesn't leave out those Yue/Yukito theories (about his power, about Touya's power, about the duality and one-ness of the two 'sides' to Yue, about the cards, about the Guardians, etc.), but it doesn't make it feel like the fic hit the pause button to do an info dump on it--they're issues that affect the way the characters think and react. Plus, the fic matches SO MUCH of my own view on the series that I just sparkle to read it. Mad, mad love for this fic. (TouyaxYue/Yukito.)
- Yami no Matsuei - Karmic Ocean Dried Up by Rana Eros - Di-chan pointed this fic out to me and so of course I had to read it. And just... Jesus, after I finished reading this, I had that feeling in my chest that was like I was on the verge of literally being almost ready to cry, you know? That sort of sensation that's almost like tingling because the story was so sadly happy and gentle and sweet and lovely. (And I do NOT cry at fanfic, like, EVER.) The writing is absolutely gorgeous, full of these soft touches, this gorgeous atmosphere, these beautiful colors, and a sense of... peace that's achieved through the fantastic writing. And the end? I just... I feel almost like the wind has been knocked out of me. ;___; It made me want to cry, but it really was HAPPY. (Though, man, my heart twinged at the mentions of Tatsumi and Watari in here. *cries and seeks out other fic to make it better*) (Tsuzuki/Hisoka.)

Yay~
Date: 2004-07-25 03:08 am (UTC)...>_< I wish I had lots more time to read all the fanfics you rec'ed in the other fandoms X.x
Re: Yay~
Date: 2004-07-26 09:35 am (UTC)Re: Yay~
Date: 2004-07-26 10:08 am (UTC)I'm gonna wait for more XD Yeah~
Re: Yay~
Date: 2004-07-26 10:25 am (UTC)Except fanart. Fanart is always my undoing, much like with the HP fandom.
Re: Yay~
Date: 2004-07-26 10:37 am (UTC)Re: Yay~
Date: 2004-07-26 10:43 am (UTC)If I tell myself this often enough, maybe I'll actually listen to myself? ^_~
Re: Yay~
Date: 2004-07-26 10:50 am (UTC)But anyway. la-dee-dah, I don't stop my fandom-searching muses. I read so much ;_; My writing's suffering. *cries*
(no subject)
Date: 2004-07-25 01:25 pm (UTC)(Um, er, and this may be the wrong place for such a thing, but I noticed that you've rec'd several of my fanfics -- HxH in particular -- and I just wanted to blush and giggle and wibble in person. <3 I'm glad you enjoyed them, especially that you saw them fit to share with others. ^__^)
(no subject)
Date: 2004-07-26 09:40 am (UTC)*coughs* Uh. I mean. Glad to help out. ^_~ (....don't mind me if I run away and hide under the desk, I am a horrible chickenshit when it comes to meeting new people, especially authors I really like. But I'm glad that you don't seem to mind that I kinda-sort fic-stalk you, especially for the HxH stuff (though, really, I think I've liked just about everything I've read of yours), and, well, um, yes, I'll just be running along now before I trip and fall flat on my face in my embarassed flailing. ^_~)
It's a compliment. Honest. *flails and runs away*
