through the miracle of red wine

[fahye]

There are mornings when Sakura wakes up feeling like the years have been wiped away with the clouds; her heartache and Naruto's anger and their fragile, ductile hope seem just as illusory as the idea of being cold, of being poisoned, of being stabbed through the gut. The body has no memory of pain.

Actually! writing! fic! I love this feeling, I love it, and although I doubt I'll have time to do more than finish this particular story before the tidal wave of med school sweeps me up and drags me along again, I think I need this. The simple act of bringing something -- anything -- to completion.

Not-really-relatedly, Ji and I talked once about the fact that I have a weird squirmy complex when it comes to my female characters being vulnerable, and that the very idea of writing a girl getting her heart broken makes me deeply uncomfortable.

So of course I'd like to try writing that now.

(Well, not NOW, but...soon.)

Is that some kind of fic-gasm?

Also, *swoons* mmmm....delicious angst. Hurt me, fahye-fahye!!

The amount of irritation this fic has caused me, it had BETTER cause me some kind of physical fulfilment when it's done.

Hee! That paragraph isn't even one of the angsty ones. At the moment I'm just trying to find a way to be nice to Sai, because the poor boy is bound to suffer in any OT3 fic, and I feel guilty because the lazy part of brain is yelling JUST IGNORE HIM.

for once we have both got our inspiration at the same time! Maybe because I've moved hemisphere? BUT I FINISHED A CHAPTER OF BOYBAND!X, IT IS ALMOST 10K BY ITSELF and there's another chapter to this part, er.

RE: complex, huh, that's interesting. I have a thing-- I notice more with shipping/reading than writing, I guess because I just don't write fic where this happens for the precise reason it makes me squeamish-- about women being sexually vulnerable. I'm all for dub-con and power imbalance in my m/m ships-- hello, S&S anybody?-- but I often feel uncomfortable if there's the same dynamic in a het relationship, especially where some element of the power imbalance involves physical intimidation. I dunno, I guess maybe on some level it hits too close to home for me.
