The Cure, To Wish Impossible Things

remember how it used to be
when the sun would fill up the sky
remember how we used to feel
those days would never end
those days would never end

remember how it used to be
when the stars would fill the sky
remember how we used to dream
those nights would never end
those nights would never end

it was the sweetness of your skin
it was the hope of all we might have been
that fills me with the hope to wish
impossible things

but now the sun shines cold
and all the sky is grey
the stars are dimmed by clouds and tears
and all i wish
is gone away
all i wish
is gone away

all i wish
is gone away

This song is driving me crazy. Seriously. Because it fits like, five of my pairings. XD XD I feel like it fits Axel/Roxas/Xion, Fuu/Namine, Aerith/Aelaeus, Demyx/Yuffie, and would I be wrong in saying Luxord/Tifa? All them damn romances that don't go right the first time. ;A;
Also it's impossible to type and dance at the same time, damn you Robert Smith for making such irresistible tuuuuunes

Also, am I totally wrong for thinking of Axel every time I hear this song? >>

The Cure, This Is A Lie

How each of us decides
I've never been sure
The part we play
The way we are
How each of us denies any other way in the world
Why each of us must choose
I've never understood
One special friend
One true love
Why each of us must lose everyone else in the world

However unsure
However unwise
Day after day play out our lives
However confused
Pretending to know to the end

But this isn't truth this isn't right
This isn't love this isn't life this isn't real
This is a lie

How each of us believes
I've never really known
In heaven unseen and hell unknown
How each of us dreams to understand anything at all
Why each of us decides
I've never been sure
The part we take
The way we are
Why each of us denies every other way in the world

However unsure
However unwise
Day after day play out our lives
However confused
Pretending to know to the end

But this isn't truth this isn't right
This isn't love this isn't life this isn't real
This is a lie
This isn't truth this isn't right
This isn't love this isn't life this isn't real
This is a lie

*giggling at the comments to my comments on your comments*
1 & 2) Exactly.
3) heehee, for me, I unfortunately seem to whore off Namine, she's in several pairings in my head. To which Roxas goes "wait, you and who?!" poor kids.

[Anakha the Silver]

Tuna, Kaiya, thaaaaanks~ <3333333

I know, I just LOVE the idea of Rinoa being all motherly and worried because, well... She's found out she has another kid on the way, and Denzel's six. How will he take it? But then, you have the bit Kaiya quoted. Which, Princess IS actually one of her nicknames in VIII. And, just, the power I put into those lines... I love it, too.

Now, with Thunderstorms... That one tore me up inside to write. D: Because, there's what Tuna quoted--and I can just imagine a bit of bitterness to that line. And then there's what Kaiya quoted, where he's obviously frustrated at the futility of his past actions, but also kinda hopeless about it all because, well, if someone like Rise can die, what does that say about everyone else? >>

[Tuna Salad Sonnet]

Ooooh yes! Right. That line. (ooh chocofeather updated)

Aww, I have a lot of Naminé pairings too. Roxas is the OTP again, but here's Sora, Riku Replica, and the real Riku. And then there's Fuu, who I haven't quite read any fic for... yet. But knowing Amber and James, they probably have a tonne. I started reading To (Not) Meet Again, but then I realized I was... probably missing a prologue or something? A previous part? xD

WAIT WAIT AMBER YOU SHIP DEMYX/YUFFIE? 8'D Oh happy day! I need to write awkwardly sexy fluff for them soon. xD

Aaaaand I'll be signing out for a while. Dinner and then a bit of homework, unfortuneately. {xD I'll be back later!

[Kaiya Mya]

You're quite welcome, Ana. ^^

Aaand my puppy has been whining at me for the past five minutes, so I think I'm gonna go take him for a quick walk. Be back soon!

EPIC POST OF D00M!

Ice Equals Water

Quote:

Just like before, Demyx tries to hug Vexen from behind, and just like before, he gets a negative response. This time, however, Vexen uses a good smack instead of words. Not to be deterred, Demyx latches onto one of the attacking arms, and only grins when a pair of bright green eyes turn to glare at him. "You know what just occurred to me?"

"Wow and amaze me," Vexen deadpans.

"I think you want to be a mother."

Abrupt and complete silence. Demyx has to fight not to grin like an idiot as Vexen stares at him. Instead, he keeps on an expression of somber seriousness. "Look into your heart. You know it to be true." That earns him a nice smack to the side of the head.

This has me torn between going “awww” and going into a giggle fit.

Quote:

The thing with loving Vexen is that he doesn't give back often, but when he does, there's always some serious weight behind it.

Just… <3333333

Quote:

The look on Demyx's face is out of place enough to draw everyone's attention. With his eyes narrowed into a sharp glare and a tight frown on his lips, he's the personification of 'foreboding'. In a worryingly calm way, and not at all in his usual cheerful and relaxed tone, Demyx asks, "What did you do to Vexen's lab, Xigbar?"

*cracking up* I know he’s pretty upset right now, but picturing Demy as “the personification of foreboding” must be quite a sight to see. ^w^

Filtered Light

Quote:

They're ghosts among ghosts, drifting in a dead dream. For a moment, they don't notice one another. Their minds are focused on their daily routines, school, family; all just somnium hazes to parts of their hearts. Then dual iris sets of the same setting sky blue meet past blurs of cloth and skin...

This whole thing is luff, but that line in particular caught my interest. Just the wording to it is rather captivating.

Igniting the Phoenix

Quote:

He has to leave he thinks as yet another night starts, another night of being a flame without a glow.

That line…. I want to give Axel a hug as that just says so much about his current life.

Quote:

Everything else is composed of deep reds, languid oranges, and scattered flecks of pale lavender and dark blue. The sunset he knows she must love covers her body as if it's belonged there all along.

Imagery~ <3333

Quote:

It has all the feel of a reunion, a familiarity he had thought impossible, yet he doesn't even know these two kids' names. It shouldn't make sense, but all he can think is Finally finally foundyou togetheragain as the boy's seasalt ice cream smacks into his bare elbow, popcorn cracks underfoot, and the girl plasters a clumsily happy kiss to the corner of his mouth.

Both imagery and squeefulness. That’s just… gah, that makes me happy. ^w^

To (Not) Meet You Again

…. … … I don’t have any fave lines, I’m just tempted to quote the entire thing since I can’t narrow it down. D8 I will say though, this whole thing was touching and sad and awwww *wants to give Fuu a hug as well*

Metaphor

Quote:

She shakes her head slowly, looking into his eyes. “I can’t until I find...”

“You will. I promise you will.”

“And then what?”

The rain falls down on them, pattering against the leather shoulders of his cloak. She can see where the zipper is broken, the scar on his empty chest through his white button-down shirt. “I don’t know.”

“But you’re staying with me? That’s risky.”

“I’m a gambler. I take risks.” He says it casually, like it doesn’t matter when it clearly does.

“Don’t lie,” she admonishes, taking his hands down from her face. “You shouldn’t lie to a gambler, you know.”

He closes his eyes and smiles at the pavement.

She takes his hand and they roam the city, walking this time.

I did read the “Thank You for Believing in Me” btw, and… just… you’re gonna make me a fangirl of your work, I swear. This is a nice addition to the kinda cliffhanger that left off at, but its not like its actually part of the story, just a “some time later” thing. That scene though *points at quote* just made the whole thing for me, so I couldn’t just pick a line. ^w^;;; Is the scar she sees on his chest the should-be-a-heart-there scar or is this a different one he has?

Onwards and Upwards
This is cute, and… unquotable for me (see, I told you guys how bad I am about fav-quoting) I can’t decide on anything, though I do think my favorite part has to be Nakoma’s argument that Lex can still have feelings for them (her, Sora, and Aerith) even though he claims he can’t feel anything

Ever Ever After

Quote:

“Of course he will. He’s our son, and practically worships the ground Sora walks on. If he couldn’t take care of himself, I’d be surprised.”

Denzel… going squee over Sora… it just makes me giggle like an idiot for some reason

Quote:

Though there’s a pained throb in the sorceress’ heart as she remembers that she’d never made up with her father before his death, she feels certain he knew it was simple teenage rebellion. He knew everything, it seemed. Even that something bad was about to happen on the day Radiant Garden fell…

The sound of a door shutting causes the couple to jump, shaken from their thoughts. The woman untangles herself from her husband’s arms, rushing to practically engulf her son in a loving embrace. Relief floods her senses, even as the boy complains loudly about being held too tightly.

On the one hand I go “awww, poor Rinny!” and then it kinda makes it a bittersweet moment to see how she clings to Denzel seeing as she never had the chance to tell her dad goodbye. Its cute, but sad cause in my mind her not having that closeness with her dad may have left her kinda clingy to her kids in not wanting that to happen between her and them.

Quote:

Arms wrap around her again, and the chin is once more resting atop her head, nestled into her dark hair.

“…Don’t think about the future, Rin. It’s not like you. You’re the kind of person who lives in the moment. Nothing’s changed from then. Ten years ago, when we were married by a green fairy in a coliseum while everything was at its darkest. It’s still like back then for us. It’s still the moment, and we need to hold onto each of them and let our cares slip away.”

His words are a whisper, like a soft, summer breeze—gentle and reassuring, but with a heavy heat to it that makes one passive and tranquil. It causes her to sink back into him, dark eyes lightly shut.

Just… just… you make me love this couple so much right now. >w<

Shu Sheng

Quote:

Sometimes she uses his back as a scroll, and paints calligraphy with her fingers. She writes poems on his arms, and recites them to him in Mandarin, harsh and smooth all at once.

"Her hands of white jade by a window of snow
Are glimmering on a golden-fretted harp –
And to draw the quick eye of Chou Yu,
She touches a wrong note now and then," she told him one morning.

"Hmm," he had said, letting the contented sound rumble from his chest. "Perhaps if you had played the harp, this would've happened a lot quicker."

That… that amuses me for some reason. <3

Rainstorms
… oh where do I even begin?

Quote:

For someone seeming to lack any and all emotion, he loathes the rains and their offending music, for their melody only serves as a reminder of happy days long since past.

Quote:

The words echo through his head, through the silence, telling him, reminding him, of a promise he’d never kept, of a woman he’d sooner like to forget if only she weren’t the driving force behind all of his actions. They whisper to him of lost hopes and dreams, haunt him like the pale maiden he’d walked with on that day.

Quote:

Music he hears not in it, not like what she heard. He hears the pounding of a force that cannot be stopped, seeking entrance in the most sinister and relentless of fashions. It threatens to spread a chilling cold, to drench those who wander out into it, and to perhaps make one susceptible to illness and death.

Quote:

She had also described it as angel tears, falling from heaven to echo her sadness. But that is highly improbable, however comforting. Angels, he’d found, don’t exist. For if they had, she would have been one, and look where the tempting woman had led him.

She would have lived.

Quote:

Part of him used to ache. Part of him used to fight back against these thoughts. But that had been long ago, back when he still held optimism. Back when he thought of her often. Back before he’d given up all hope.

Back before he’d realized that even the cold chill of much-needed rain on a parched desert can only raise the dormant, not the dead.

Honestly, I’m quoting almost every other line and all this means is… DAMMIT ANA! T^T
Stop making me so sentimental for the (sometimes) b*****d or I’ll get confused on how to feel about him…. Or I’ll die from cuteness when Xavier and Rashina finally meet up, one of the two. ^w^;;; right now its like I’d give him a hug or something, but he’d likely shank me with a arial blade. Why do you do this to me. ;-;

Let Sleeping Princes Lie

Quote:

Why was it always this way? The enchantments never were about rescuing royalty from cells or the executioner’s axe. It was always about kissing the princesses-- or princes, in this case-- and bringing them safely back to their people.

You know… I’ve often wondered that myself. 3nodding

Quote:

Biting back a theatrical sigh, Cai knelt down, hesitating a bit as she tried to figure out the best way to go about this.

Quote:

The only thing Cai was experiencing-- as she lost her first kiss to a man who wasn’t even awake enough to enjoy it-- was a sense of awkwardness.

Quote:

She wasn’t sure whether she should open her eyes or keep them closed or what she should do with her hands. Was she supposed to touch his face? Put her arms around him? Were the rules of the enchantment really that picky? And just how long was she supposed to continue kissing him, anyway?

She was so lost in her thoughts that she didn’t notice the fingers of his right hand twitch just the slightest bit.

The awkwardness of all that just makes me crack up cause that’s how you’d THINK it’d be. I mean come on, its your first kiss and you give it to a comatose royal, why does it always come so easy in fairy tales?

Quote:

Without warning, something strong and surprisingly heavy wrapped around her waist. Cai let out a muffled sound of surprise as she realized it was the prince’s own arm.

To which you beat the dude with a stick. For shame, sir, for shame.

Quote:

A few seconds later, he began to scream-- a loud, bloodcurdling sound that startled Cai and caused her to shriek in kind. That simply caused him to scream even louder.

*cracking up* I have ALWAYS wanted to see that happen in such a fairy tail. This makes me happy on so many levels. <3333

[Hajimeilosukna]

actually, Amber I see nothing wrong with wanting to use those songs. xd

Well I'm off to dinner, see you in a bit.

[Hajimeilosukna]

its... been a few hours, is anybody even here?

[Tuna Salad Sonnet]

Yup! I'm just finishing up homework. ^^

[Kaiya Mya]

I'm here. Not sure about anyone else, though.

Oh, and Haji, you pointed out the scenes that first came to me while the story was still an idea. I was always bothered by how fairy tale protagonists were always fantastic kissers (even if they'd never kissed anyone before) and how in every version of Sleeping Beauty she was okay with waking up to a guy kissing her. Disney makes it easier to swallow by giving them both a history together, but still.

And of course there's the ever-present "WOMEN ARE WEAK AND HELPLESS AND NEED TO BE RESCUED BY MEN ALL THE TIME" plot that is rampant in fairy tales. Because that totally represents reality in every way possible. :/

(Oh, and don't berate Edwin too much-- he was dreaming. Like those dreams where you wake up kissing your pillow, only in this case he... woke up kissing another person. Awkward. XD)

[Anakha the Silver]

D: ...I'm supporting Twincest... ...But it's so damn CUTE.

[Hajimeilosukna]

@ Kaiya: Heeheehee, well then you just got it all covered huh? I will admit I've never woken up kissing my pillow before. >.>

@ Ana: Is this by any chance a reference to the "brotherly love" between Ien and Deni? Or have you set yourself up on accident for a different pair? *doesn't know too many twins you have*

[Anakha the Silver]

Deni/Aki x Ien/Zexi in the vampireverse of Nic's fic. XD They're, just... ADORABLE.

[Hajimeilosukna]

pffft! *cracking up now*

[Kaiya Mya]

Hajimeilosukna

Kaiya: Heeheehee, well then you just got it all covered huh? I will admit I've never woken up kissing my pillow before. >.>

Oh, neither have I. But hey, if there can be such a thing as sleepwalking or sleeptalking, there's gotta be some instances of sleep-kissing. XD
