SYNOPSIS:
| Kail teases Dais for being fixated on the late Anubis until Dais� memories of the deceased become something more tangible. |
MISH:
| Just a little side note: Personally, I prefer the spelling "Cale" rather than "Kail" for our resident blue-haired warlord of Corruption (or Darkness). However, for the purpose of these reviews, we adapt the writer's spelling. |
MAKO:
| Personally, I only have that gripe about how "Cye" is spelt... Oh well, the fishy isn't in this so on with the review. |
MISH:
| With that out of the way, Tenshi has been one of my favourite writers ever since I started reading yaoi fics. |
MAKO:
| Tenshi! *ohm...ohm* The GODDESS of Ronin yaoi fics as far as I'm concerned! In the "Mako's Picks" section, it was REALLY hard for me NOT to turn my picks into the "Shrine O' Tenshi." Her stories are fabulous! She never fails to disappoint the reader with her vision of the Ronin Warriors universe. Tenshi's imagery leaves nothing to the imagination; the reader can easily see what she's describing. |
MISH:
|
She manages to incorporate everything that I like in a short story into her writing.
excerpt: Kail scowled. Death was his domain, but he had a profound lack of reverence for it, like how a spoiled child viewed his roomful of toys. But Dais was older and had learned more readily from his past. Death was something worthy of respect. Whether or not Kail was, he was unsure. He lacked discipline. Brash child. |
MISH:
| *dons a chef�s hat* As you can see in this excerpt, Tenshi has used all of the ingredients for a good short story. Analogies whenever necessary, plenty of detail, varied sentence length throughout, a thought provoking statement or two, all mixed with just a dash of the author�s voice and voil�! Good fanfiction! |
MAKO:
| *Lounging about in her little shack on the beach* Hey Mish, when's dinner? |
MISH:
| Thirty minutes or less, or else you didn't read this fic in one sitting. |
MAKO:
| Seeing as she's in "Julia Childs" mode, I'll hang out here for a while. I don't trust her with a knife in her hot little hands. |
MISH:
|
... Zippy Jr. is insulted. He prefers to be compared to a skewer, not a knife.
Anyway, we chose this story in particular because we thought it was time to review a warlord fic for all of the warlord fans out there. Somewhat typical of warlord fics is the resurrection of Anubis. |
MAKO:
| I normally avoid Warlord fics simply because they all sound the same in regards to resurrecting Anubis, albeit there are a few exceptions, and this is definitely one of them. |
MISH:
|
It�s easily one of the more original ways to resurrect Anubis, and definitely for an original reason.
excerpt: The memory was like some kind of amber, preserved like a spider suspended in hardened liquid gold. The illusion had appeared without Dais�s permission or choosing, and he did not care. He could remember the day exactly.. Long before the Ronin Warriors, when they were simply the Dynasty�s peacekeepers. Already though, the conversation differed from his recollection of it. It was a new thing, forged out of remelted steel and antique emeralds. "Anubis?" |
MISH:
| *ties the apron behind her back* And for dessert, we have even more wonderful analogies and description! |
MAKO:
| I don't know about dessert... *Lights up a cigarette* ...I'm thinking more along the lines of a shower myself. This fic is a definite must read for all hentais; it's beautifully written and has plenty of lemon for the yaoi gourmet. |
MISH:
| There�s a bit of domination/submission in this fic, more so than the regular seme/uke relationship, but what do you expect from warlords? Overall, I thought this fic was very well done and excellently paced. I loved it up until the very end, where things were left open for reader interpretation. That�s always the cherry on top of the whipped cream. |
MAKO:
| Now THERE'S an idea! |
MISH:
| 8.5/10. I would have gone higher if it wasn�t a PWP, but that�s just me. Everything else was finger-licking good. |
MAKO:
|
Well, seeing as I have no hang ups about PWP's, I am going to grace the fic with the "Mish and Mako's" grand prize! A perfect 10! This fic is truly deserving of it, please go check it out.
