Blackened Rose
Email: Here.


I think I’m getting jaded when it comes to writing styles, because it seems to be harder and harder to truly impress me with fic anymore. Maybe I've just been binging too much, or the deluge of less than reputable writing on ff.net has made me see typos where there aren't any, but for some reason, most fic doesn't quite move me the way it used to just by seeing Tsuzuki and Hisoka's names in print.

Blackened Rose's work is the kind of thing that makes my jaded little heart weep. Literally. It's poetic, it's original, and it takes ideas running through Yami no Matsuei canon and tweaks them just enough to give you that much more appreciation for the characters. It'll make the angst monkey in you jump up and beg.

• Secret ~ A character study of Kurosaki Nagare. On what would have been Hisoka's eighteenth birthday, Nagare goes to visit his son's grave. Massive angst and flashbacks ensue. (References to violent attacks, sexual assault, and death. No plot whatsoever. Lots of flashbacks. Mad stream-of-consciousness-ness. Angst, angst, and more angst. Suffocating amounts of angst. The possibility that my interpretation of Nagare is way, way off.)
  
  
• Your Standard Shounen Ai Fic ~ An examination of the conventions of shounen-ai fanfiction, with Tsuzuki and Hisoka as our (not-quite-willing) models. Beware of the ridiculously out-of-character Tatsumi. [PG-13. As implied by the title, yaoi/shounen-ai (Tsuzuki/Hisoka, sort of, and a teensy bit of Tatsumi/Tsuzuki, sort of). Sexual innuendo. Violence (sort of). A screwy format. Still no plot. Random key-banging.]
