ummm. OHAIIII 8'D

[sotongsotong]

Loose drabbles inspired by various songs. Kinda like the first thing I've ever wrote for this pairing so constructive critique is always welcome! Can I add that I adore everyone here in the community although I was a lurker since May - andonlygotthegutstopostnow- ? *stuffed into a cannonball and shot over random roofs!* And uhhhh, how the hell do I do strikethrough and bolds and slants in DW? @___@;;


1. Sober - Pink


Fai is a chatterbox by choice, rather than nature; he takes it upon himself to keep any semblance of conversation going between the four of them most of the time -- more so whenever the ninja stares at Fai from the corners of his crimson eyes.


As if Kurogane could see right through him.


And it is splendid, it is marvelous, it is utterly perfect for Fai because it is all the more reason to will his lips to never tire, to always laugh and stoke the fire of Kurogane’s constant ire towards savages of the ninja’s name.


Because silence should not be noteworthy: what good is there to be gained from trying to decipher it when silence should - it must - signify nothing?



( the quiet scares me because it screams the truth )








2. Shell – Bana ( Witch Hunter Robin OP )


If anything to go by, ‘Syaoran’ - whichever one he may be - is practically the human embodiment of tenacity, and it is through the young man that Fai first learns of how wondrous that specific trait could be -- but he does not bring himself to fully appreciate this.


For Fai is simply aware of another - deep down far, far away - who, in wrong, wrong time, might just prove to be as good or even - frightfully - better at it than ‘Syaoran’.


But for now, right painfully now, Fai decides it would altogether be best to grow unfond of tenacity; there is a crosshatchery of scars upon the ninja’s left wrist -- and grow they will because Kurogane, hopeless, hopeless Kurogane, does not plan to stop dogging Fai to feed anytime soon.


Fai has never felt so ill as in the wake of such bulldozing concern.

Oh HAI!

I already love your take on Fai. The first drabble just screams Fai with his complex. It reminds me of how much he changed and how he no longer tries to fill the silence with chatter to hide the truth.

The second drabble. It is a father - son comparison, isn't it! Squee! I like the whole family. As much as Fai teased about Kurogane and Syaoran being like father and son, it is interesting to think that he feared that they were too alike in tenacity.

*has an apoplexy from formatting complexities* GOMENASAI.

I still have formatting complexities. XD One thing about dreamwidth that I found out the hard way, never use rich text format to center any part of your story. It messes up everything. Me? I like fancy centered breaks,

oOlike thisOo

so I doggedly tried to center the breaks, only to center everything cause rich text format is the devil... Someone told me to just use the tag , center /center, in html and it worked.

[sotongsotong]

8DDDD


Haha! Glad you saw the implied comparison and thank you so much for loving my take on Fai! *showers with chocolates*

I see, I see O__O thanks for the tip! Will definitely experiment with this whole process till I get it right OTL

[cloverfield]

Hey there! Welcome out of the closet! It's a scary first step, but it's soooo worth it :DDDDD

Just quickly:

Strikethroughs like this is made by the html tags < s > and < /s > with the spaces taken out; Italics like this are made like < i > and < /i >, and bold like this is made by < b > and < /b >.

But also, did I mention how awesome and powerful these are, even though there is so few words? Aieee, the brackets get to me like a punch in the gut. *___* This is a great start and I hope to see more from you! And don't worry- none of us here bite~

[sotongsotong]

Thank you so much for the formatting guide and the cheery welcome! QwQ


The lines in the brackets happen to be lyrics from their respective songs that I used for inspiration in this, so I cant take any intellectual credit for them :) and thank you so much for liking those two!

[kittenkin]

Haiiiii~ o/ Welcome to non-lurking!

Oh, I love these glimpses of Kurogane through Fai's eyes. "Bulldozing concern" especially just seems so perfect for him. I hope you write more~

Here is a link to a FAQ on Dreamwidth that details what html tags you can use to format your text: http://www.dreamwidth.org/support/faqbrowse?faqid=155

Basically you surround the text that you want to format with tags like this (except without the spaces) < b >bold text< /b >.

< b >Bold</ b > --> Bold
< i >Italicize</ i > --> Italicize
< u >Underline</ u > --> Underline
< strike >Strikethrough</ strike > --> Strikethrough

You can combine them, too.

< b >Bold < u >and< /u > underlined!</ b > --> Bold and underlined!

[sotongsotong]

Will definitely write more this weekend, don't worry! 8D and I'm also looking forward to more of your Harlequin fic 8DDD



Right, thanks for the tips! Copypasta-ing everything and setting it as a Sticky note on my lappie now LOL *w*

[reikah]

Welcome! Kitten and Clover have already given you the formatting advice, so I'll skip past that and say that I found these drabbles really interesting! I really like the peek at your writing style and your grasp of the characters so far, and my chief complaint is that there's not enough of it! I'd love to see more - any chance of some more ficlets? :O

[sotongsotong]

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII~~~~


*flails flails and flails some more in fanfic author fangirlism*

Thank you! Will definitely write more over the weekend-- and hopefully they'll be longer too |DDD

[nemothefairy]

and grow they will because Kurogane, hopeless, hopeless Kurogane, does not plan to stop dogging Fai to feed anytime soon.

This is really beautiful... the idea of someone being stubborn and persistent but so, so caring, no matter what, and being SO. SURE. about doing so... (although it might be impossible for him to leave Fai alone. Even if he tries to avoid him and tries to hide...)

And then Fai:

Fai has never felt so ill as in the wake of such bulldozing concern.

It hit me, but I am glad you shared this. Thank you.

[sotongsotong]

A-are you alright? OAO;; I hope I didn't make you too sad with the angst in this >___< and you're very welcome! Plus, I should thank you for reading this too! XD

[zelinxia]

Welcome to the community! I know how it feels to dip your toes into a new place, but you overcome it, hooray! :D

Your writing style is gorgeous. I adore the words that are used. I hope to see more from you. ^^

[sotongsotong]

T-thank you for the compliment, it's the first time that it's been said to be gorgeous so yeah. MY BRAIN IS OVERJOYEDDDDDD 8'DDDD *showers cotton candy*

[farenmaddox]

Oh goodness, you're definitely on to something! These characters are so complicated and mixed up, and it was really interesting to see your take on some of that. You have a lovely writing style, very dramatic with small details. "silence should—it must—signify nothing" and "The crosshatchery of scars" were my personal favourites. I hope to see more! :)

LJ's coding is a lot easier than I was expecting, but it takes some getting used to. The best way might be to create a private, locked post (you can set it to where you're the only one who can see it) to play around with formatting and get a feel for it!

Thank you so much for the kind words! 8'D


Yeshu, thanks for the tips ! Format Experimenting is in order!

SANKYUU! <3

It's gonna take my brain quite a bit to recover after having so many of my fav Kurofai fanfic authors giving feedback! I'm really honoured that you guys like this, so thank you so much for all the kind words! <3 OwO

Collectable quote

[himurarikuo]

Skillful writing indeed..and I will long remember this line:

Because silence should not be noteworthy: what good is there to be gained from trying to decipher it when silence should - it must - signify nothing?

Thank you
