CCS: Bamboo, Pine and Peach: New Year In Winter

Fic post from my archive.

New Year in Winter

Takes place just after the Final Judgement. The Cards are happy; Yue isn't, very. Drama with Angst, I-3

As the celebration rolled on Yue caught a number of glances in his direction, flickering toward him between laughter. He answered them only with his presence; he wasn't sociable, the way Keroberos was.

So I was wondering, some time ago, as I was attending to this and that on livejournal, "hm, Age of Silver hasn't been updated in forever. Where is _branch_? I hope it's not one of those disappearing-things that happens sometimes . . ."

And so I came over to check your fic journal . . .

AND I FOUND OUT THAT YOU'VE BEEN WRITING CCS FIC.

And more specifically, CCS fic with YUE. Other than Saiunkoku, Yue is my fanfic crack of choice. And so very, very hard to find writings for, and especially good stories.

Of course Touya is awesome, and Yukito is lots of fun. BUT YUE.

::so. much. joy::

Thank you so much!

Anyway. ::clears throat:: Very much liked the fic. Reminds me of another excellent CCS story called the Moon-Ruled, which had a similar concept of Yue interacting with the Cards. I like very much the way you've handled it, and especially the way you've characterized Windy and Dark.

And Yue, your Yue is quite awesome. Prickly, and yet somewhat more at his ease around the Cards, since of course he knows them quite well.

Anyway. JOY.

*hearts* Thank you!

It kind of feels like shouting into the wilderness, sometimes, writing for a fandom as old and quiet as CCS, so it's good to know these are appreciated!

Yue is vastly entertaining to write, and, really, the whole Yue/Yukito-Touya thing got such short shrift in the manga. I figure it's up to us fans to ameliorate that. *firm nod*

There's a livejournal comm called tsukimineshrine that still gets some activity, and I'm sure that some of us neglected Yue fans would appreciate the links if you felt like posting them. ;-) Or if it's too much trouble I could put them up myself as reccommendations.

*nods* I'm posting to the ccsakura comm. I'm pretty sure there's traffic coming from there, but it's, um, quiet traffic. ^_^; I would be /delighted/ if you'd like to rec this arc on another comm, and I can start posting the links there too, certainly.
