Akogare
Notes (Old)
*********
Chapter I
*********
Looks like I overdid this first
part. Frankly speaking, I don't even
know where I'm going!
Oh well, call this a sample of
hunger-induced fanfiction.
I'll revise this as soon as I
grab a bite of something and sort out all these ideas in my head.
**********
Chapter II
**********
First things first.
The piece 'Hikari Sasu Niwa' was
borrowed without permission from the series Shoujo Kakumei Utena (I could say I
borrowed it from Miki-sama himself but that would sound strange…).
*scratches head*
What on earth was in that peach
ice cream, anyway?
And why peach ice cream?
Would you dare eat peach ice cream?
Am I fooling anybody with my no-plot fanfic here? -_-
Anyone who can guess correctly
what flavor Eriol had back at the ice cream parlor gets his/her dishes done for
free by the ever-impeccable Suppi-chan.
If he likes you, he might throw in a little dusting around for good
measure. ^_^
***********
Chapter III
***********
As Kenshin would say ---
Ororororororoooooo..... o_o So much for
not getting carried away. Well, I don't
care anymore! I'm just getting warmed
up here!! I need more WAFF, more,
MORE!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!! *frothing at
mouth*
Ahem.
While it is a fact that Eriol did
tell Tomoyo that she's wonderfully perceptive (see vol.12 of the manga), that
doesn't mean she's psychic. I hope she
didn't come across that way, what with her spacing out during Eriol's little
recollection (my sincere apologies to Yue fans for degrading the aloof
bishounen by giving him a mixing bowl, but I thought it was a nice touch ^_^ ).
And I decided to use 'kaijuu'
instead of 'monster' because it sounds much more Touya-ish that way.
Next act: Eriol discovers a
little something in his locker that may change his life forever! (Nandeyanen. -_-)
**********
Chapter IV
**********
Hoeeeee. Overkill.
But I'm so glad I finally got this off my back.
I apologize for the sudden
deluge of drama in this installment; I didn't really intend for this to turn
out this way. I sure hope nobody ended
up cross-eyed after reading all those run-on sentences. o_o
A note on the blackboard prank:
according to anime/dramas I've seen (as well as the manga I've read), this is
supposedly the Japanese version of the “A loves B!” joke. The whole thing simulates two people
standing under the same umbrella.
*pause* I sure hope I'm making
sense here.
Sorry if I made Clow a little
heartless. That's just how I see him,
that's all. As for Sakura, I always
believed that she couldn't stay dense (or, as Tomoyo's euphemism goes,
'funwari') forever.
And as for the rush, I just had
to put Tomoyo out of her misery and Eriol come to terms with his feelings
sooner or later, or else I'd end up with ten acts instead of five. -__-
Next act: the resolution to this
whole weepy mess!
*********
Chapter V
*********
Thank you for reading this fic.
*bows* And yes, you have my permission
to go throw up in the sink now. -_-
BTW, the romanized name Li Yelan
was lifted from the CCS Movie I Complete Book.
[Inane] questions (and answers):
Q: What was in Syaoran's locker?
A: The answer is in Koi, the SxS-centric oneshot.
Q: Are Sakura and Syaoran really clueless about frostbite and
everything?
A: Actually, no, but I thought it would be funny if they were. Plus, I'm clueless about frostbite myself; I
live in a winterless country!
Q: What the hell are you writing here; modern English don't have
afternoon tea rituals
A: Hey, that's not a question!
Next!
Q: How was Ruby Moon able to book a flight on Christmas Eve?
A: Connections, man, connections.
That or Eriol has a surefire spell for conjuring plane tickets.
Q: Are you implying that Sonomi and her husband are divorced?
A: Either that or they're still married but living far, far away
from each other. Nowadays most married
couples in Japan are like that, or so my friend Shinya told me once (I could've
heard him wrong; after all, my eyes were glued on Syaoran on screen all the
while he was talking, so...)
Akogare
Notes (New)
Akogare was my first ExT fic, as well as my first multipart fic, so I will always be fond of it. It didn’t come out the way it was supposed to; for one thing, I have absolutely no idea where that ending came from, and I remember I had material for at least two chapters that didn’t make the final cut. But I did have fun writing this.
Akogare won 2nd Place, Best Romance Fic in the 2001 CLAMP Fanfic Awards. It was also nominated for Best Fic Overall that same year.
It also received an award from a site named Breaking Free, which is, unfortunately, now offline.
Thank you so much for the honors and the feedback, everyone!
Akogare has a sequel entitled Kanaete, which is still dead.
