SYNOPSIS:
| Taking place during the series, this fic answers how Ryou and Rowen deal with the capture and subsequent torture of their friends. |
MISH:
| Damn, Mako. Two Tenshi fics in a row. What, do you have some kind of fixation or something? =p =) |
MAKO:
| Uh...err, I just chose real quick, forgetting who the author was. =) |
MISH:
| So? What can we say about Tenshi that hasn�t already been said? We�ve said she has good description. We�ve mentioned her well-timed humour. The great way she writes her raunch is a well known fact� all of which is once again present in Cold Comfort. |
MAKO:
| Tenshi is probably one of the best RW/YST authors out there, if not the best. I'm a little jaded on the subject. |
MISH:
|
I think there�s only one thing to do at this point: let the fic speak for itself.
excerpt: The image of them washed over him again, larger than life, ghastly, chained bodies taut with strain and hurt under the dully-gleaming armor. He shivered with some nameless dread as their screams reverberated in his thoughts, hugging himself as he recalled how their frames shook when pain shot through them at hideous levels. |
MISH:
| There is one thing I do like about this fic, which also happens to be another Tenshi trademark. It's completely original. Whoever would have thought that Ryou and Rowen were up to anything of this sort during the time the other three Ronins were captured? |
MAKO:
| If you ask me, I think the show�s producers left that to the imagination of the viewer. It just so happens one of the viewers was Tenshi. >=) |
MISH:
| But of course, along with the steamy hot scandalous sex acts, comes the sickly sweet sap. |
MAKO:
|
Sap is good!
excerpt: He watched Rowen change in front of him, from a know-it-all loner in too-tight jeans and punk hair to a vulnerable young man teetering on the brink between childhood and adulthood. He was child enough to know he was desperately in love, but adult enough to be just as desperately afraid. |
MISH:
| *sigh* Tenshi's done it again, another great fic to her credit. |
MAKO:
| This is the first Tenshi fic I ever read, three guesses why I fell in love with her work! |
MISH:
| I'll only need one guess: the shagging. ...Oh wait, that's me. =)~ |
MISH:
| At this time, I'm going to give this one a 7.5 out of 10. This story is excellent, and I have absolutely nothing to complain about it; I've just been so mired in Sap and Tenshi fics lately that I couldn't really enjoy this one. |
MAKO:
|
8 out of 10 for the same reasons as Mish. I
picked this one at the
last second. I've been indulging a new fixation
lately (which I'll get to
in a sec) and neglected my duties as a reviewer to pick
a fic.
