Fic post from my archive.

Degrees of Silver

Yue likes the rain. Drama, I-2

The doors to the porch were open, and the sound of heavy, steady rain came through.

*pets them* Mmmm. I envy Yue his rain, just now.

Touya is such a sweetie.

*flopped over under the heat* You and me both. *wistful*

Touya is the dearest (grouchy) boy. *grins*

Lacking a good Yue icon, have a chibi-Seiran instead. <3

I enjoy your fics a lot because while I'm a big fan of the Touya/Yukito-Yue pairing, sometimes the heavy-handed angst gets to me. This is just the perfect combination of serious and waffy.^^

*hearts* Thank you!

Yeah, me too. I mean, angst is all very well as a seasoning, but it should have a little hearts and flowers to balance it. *grins*

[majochan.livejournal.com]

Angst is rather unavoidable with Yue involved, but most people let it drive the fic instead of working with it. And moderating with little hearts and flowers. XD

It's nice to see them interacting normally like really good friends/maybe more instead of the usual "OMG, I had to take your powers! It's all my fault!" (the 'my' part being applicable to Yukito, Yue and sometimes even Sakura).

And I don't think I've commented on the others but the first bit about Touya asking Yue to try the apple pie filling was kind of hot awesome.^^

*giggling* Ah, glad to hear you liked the food. I'm just very taken with the idea of Touya feeding Yue; Yue is so ethereal, and seems to go to a lot of trouble to stay that way, coaxing him out of it seems like both the kind of thing Touya would do and a sweet way to nudge them together. I mean, Yue comes with plenty of built-in angst, the poor guy, but Touya is so very down-to-earth--surely he'd be able to get around that. Eventually.

*nod* It's the gradual progression that's so satisfying, because no matter what the fangirls think, if Touya went and threw Yue down, what would happen most likely would not be a ravishing.

And yes, bringing food into Yue's image does help a lot with the 'I'm a magical being and not of this earth' impression he radiates. Just the thought of Yue doing something as normal as licking a spoon makes me squee...

*cough* I'll stop now.^^; I look forward to whatever else you might write.

Lovely! It's nice to see YuexTouya.

[branchandroot]

Thank you! I'm having a lot of fun writing with them.

I could hate you for how torturously slow this seems to be going, but it wouldn't be even half as good if it wasn't progressing so carefully. It does make me wonder who's going to "jump" who first... or rather, who's going to make the next move on who, as Touya already made a move to include Yue more with the food, and now Yue's not pushing him away, even in this moment of solitude...

[goes mushy and warm and gooey and oh-so-mmmmmm]
I really like this "Taming of Yue" as it were.
Looking forward to reading more!

Yue: *bristles*

Emily: *tolerantly* Oh hush. You know you like Touya.

*snickers* They are taking it slow; in fact I may wind up skipping ahead at some point, just to get to some of the good stuff. ^_^

Awww. I really love the quiet in this piece; it works really well with the content, and your descriptions of the rain especially are lovely.

[branchandroot]

Thank you! This was one of the first bits I wrote, for this arc, and it's still one of my favorites.

That is a perfectly good comment. *hearts*
