2014 in fic

[lucathia]

I'm back from Japan! Trying to catch up with everything I've missed in the past two weeks. :'D; (I slept two days away, OTL. Terrible, terrible jetlag. Still trying to reorient myself.) First up is my yearly fic round up post~. Then, pictures from the trip? Maybe. I've missed so many posts and entries, ahhh.

(Previous years: 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006)

January
Bittersweet Sweetness Part 35 (Legend of Sun Knight, 1818 words)
Bittersweet Sweetness Part 36 (Legend of Sun Knight, 2273 words)
Fifteen Going on Sixty Part 1 (Legend of Sun Knight, 1325 words)
A Vice-Captain's Tale Suggestion 4 (Legend of Sun Knight, 1880 words)
A Rose for Your Hair Part 2 (Legend of Sun Knight, 1166 words)

I told myself I would finish writing Bittersweet Sweetness in 2013, but it didn't happen. So, instead, I updated it twice in January, thinking I would finish the fic, but it didn't happen then either. :'D Even though I was so close! Judgment and Sun are back in their own bodies by this part of the story, so I guess... I felt the story was already over. I'm terrible at endings. XD;;; But hey, two chapters!

I started a new fic! Fifteen Going on Sixty. OTL. Why Lucathia. This particular plunny was nibbling at me while I was working on My Friend, the Pope (in-training), and it just wouldn't go away. I thought it would be a quick thing, but when are things ever quick with me. I'm really fond of the concept! But not how I developed it. =x Let's hope I can actually finish this fic this year, hahaha.

It had been a year since I'd updated A Vice-Captain's Tale, so Suggestion 4 was a much needed update. I have to say, I didn't think leotards would end up so heavily on Tyler's mind. What have you done, Vice-Captain Moon!!!

Against my better judgment, I continued writing A Rose for Your Hair. =x (Judgment with super hair, eee~~~)

I'd decided that writing is writing, whether I was working on new fic or one of my WIPs... 2015 is the result of that...! Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, I'm not sure. But hey, I wrote over 100k...?

February
Follow the Sign Part 2 (Legend of Sun Knight, 1177 words)
Long Live the Sun Knight (oneshot) (Legend of Sun Knight, 3314 words)
My Friend, the Pope (in-training) Part 5 (Legend of Sun Knight, 2134 words)

February marks a very low point in RL for me. I turned to writing to take my mind off of things. Writing can be a very good stress reliever... when it's not my main focus. :3;; During this month, I updated two of my fics, Follow the Sign (*hugs Adair*) and My Friend, the Pope (in-training). Follow the Sign was already shaping up to be not what I expected. It was supposed to be just snapshots. But instead I'm now spending more than one "snapshot" on each universe. Adair is never going to get out of that first world at this rate, is he. :'D I'm really excited to (finally) be writing longfic about Adair though. And unlike my other fics, this fic is 3rd person, present tense! Makes for a fun change, especially when I'm stuck with my other fics, which are mostly 1st person, past tense.

Demos is a cutie. Part 5 of My Friend, the Pope (in-training) was actually the first time I'd been in his head for so long. I need to write more of him!

Long Live the Sun Knight... What is it even? It was supposed to be crack. =x Can it even be called that? Probably not. Why don't you just take all my feels, Lesus. =x (But now I'm tempted to imagine a bunch of other people as the Sun Knight XDDD dyeing their hair blond ahaha)

As you can see, fics rarely go how I envision them. XD;;;

March
Wrong Choice or Not (oneshot) (2640 words)
Invincible, that is the Legend Chapter 10 (Legend of Sun Knight, 4033 words)
Grace Chapter 2 (Legend of Sun Knight, 1328 words)
Fifteen Going on Sixty Part 2 (Legend of Sun Knight, 1130 words)
The Time of Ten Suns Part 1 (Legend of Sun Knight, 1432 words)

I continue to write Lesus oneshots. =x I'm not sure where they came from. I think I've written more oneshots about Lesus than Adair at this point, which really surprises me. XD; Writing from Lesus's POV is comforting to me. Wrong Choice or Not is a retelling of canon events from Lesus's POV. I still don't think it's very creative or anything because of how close it sticks to canon, but... *hugs Lesus* Let me just hug him. =x

I updated Invincible! I updated Invincible! (This is such an achievement, I have to say it twice). Now, I would be happier... if that wasn't the only time I'd updated Invincible in 2014. Let me hide in the corner now. (I was joking when I said I hoped it wouldn't take another year for me to update Invincible again, but now it's looking very likely) /o\ I got to write Cold Fox in this chapter, which makes me very happy. Cold Fox~~ <3333 Cold Fox is still my desktop wallpaper. For both of my monitors. XDDDD (One day, I still want to write up a long post about Cold Fox's awesomeness) I've written two partial chapters for Invincible after this chapter, but neither are complete...

I updated Grace and Fifteen during March as well, trying to rotate through my various WIPs. Didn't really succeed too well with that, since both fics are still only in single digits at the moment.

Guess what, I started a new fic! :'D The Time of Ten Suns has been a very fun fic to write. Ten different Suns, whoot~~~. It all started because of 15b and talks of clones. I blame this one on 15b. :P Ten Suns. How many pies would it take to satisfy them all? XD I had a different vision for this fic, but the current path it has taken is much easier to write. Let's see how long I can stick to having only Elmairy as the narrator. XD;;

April
Insanity (oneshot) (Legend of Sun Knight, 2232 words)
izumin!! (oneshot) (Haikyuu!!, 1209 words)
A Slice of Wedding Cake Slice 2 (Legend of Sun Knight, 3226 words)

In April, I wrote a fic for Aprils Fools. XDDD It has been really amusing seeing people's reactions to the fic that was posted as a "translation" over at Prince Revolution. If not for the prank, I doubt I would ever write Grisia getting turned into a girl (but don't hold me to that) because I very much like him as a guy. =x Where's the fun in teasing him about his looks if he's an actual girl! *turns everyone else in LSK into a girl instead* :'D See, I'm totally on your side, Grisia!

April is when the Haikyuu!! anime started. I wrote a fic to celebrate that. I actually wrote something that wasn't LSK! *gasps* And it turned out to be the only non LSK fic I wrote all year. Wow...

April also marks the beginning of my collaboration with kiyutsuna! :DDDDD We started writing A Slice of Wedding Cake together, and it has been tons of fun. I've always wanted to write a collaborative fic. <3333 Kiyu totally thought it was a oneshot. (Ahahahaha.... *looks away*) So, it was my turn to write, and somehow I wrote 3k about Adair training with the two platoons. IDEK. Which pretty much forced us to write long chapters for the rest of the fic too, ahaha...

May
A Rose for Your Hair Part 3 (Legend of Sun Knight, 1384 words)
In Want of Warmth (oneshot) (Legend of Sun Knight, 1188 words)
A Slice of Wedding Cake Slice 4 (Legend of Sun Knight, 3250 words)
The View Through the Window (oneshot) (Legend of Sun Knight, 1149 words)
A Slice of Wedding Cake Slice 6 (Legend of Sun Knight, 4200 words)

Things in RL were looking better even though I was going to be out of a job soon. :'D I wrote quite a lot in May! The collaboration really motivated me~~. (Shiny new fic is always nice too, being able to toss ideas back and forth + only doing half the work makes things so much easier!)

I updated A Rose for Your Hair~~. I won't stop being amused by that fic, okay. In Want of Warmth was a random fic based off of a click and drag game. XD I was itching to try 2nd person POV fic too, so that fic was what resulted. Ecilan, let me hug you... Actually, I'll just throw you at Chikus. =x (the fic even made me entertain Ecilan x Demos XDDD)

The View Through the Window was written for Mother's Day. I'm quite happy I got it finished in time. <3 It features the 39th gen... so it's spoilerish. XD The translations aren't there yet. I love imagining the 38th gen as parental figures. <3333

I posted two chapters for a Slice of Wedding Cake! :DDDD I loved writing Chasel so, so much. His characterization is pretty much based on how I wrote him in Invincible. =x It was great fun, writing about teacher and student trying to make each other choke while drinking tea, ahaha. (Who can shock the other person more, hm?) Laica was terribly hard to write. So hard that I ended up writing 4k about him. :'D It's... what do you call it? When you ramble, hoping that you end up with something. Laica, you are one difficult character. :P

June
A Vice-Captain's Tale Suggestion #5 (Legend of Sun Knight, 1670 words)
Fifteen Going on Sixty Part 3 (Legend of Sun Knight, 1821 words)
A Slice of Wedding Cake Slice 8 (Legend of Sun Knight, 3580 words)
When You Fall, I'll Pick You Back Up (oneshot) (Legend of Sun Knight, 1393 words)
Bittersweet Sweetness Part 37 (Legend of Sun Knight, 2073 words)
Bittersweet Sweetness Part 38 (end) (Legend of Sun Knight, 1964 words)
A Slice of Wedding Cake Slice 10 (Legend of Sun Knight, 3454 words)

Work winded down and ended in June, so I had more free time. My word count usually dies off during summer months, but 2014's summer months were definitely anomalies! I actually wrote a lot thanks to all the comments I'd been getting around the time. First up was an update to A Vice-Captain's Tale with Suggestion #5, in which Tyler just won't stop thinking of leotards. :'D (Seriously, what have you done, Vice Captain Moon!!) Then, it was an update to Fifteen Going on Sixty, bringing us a bit more up-to-date with canon. The next part of Fifteen will deal with v8 and later stuff, so I'm still waiting for translations to reach those parts. :3;; (Or you know, I can write it and not post it until later... I should probably do that.)

Slice 8 of Cake was fairly... bittersweet. :'D;; (I really like writing Aldrizzt, ahhhhh. Maybe I should just write more of him in Invincible... That would probably make the story come along faster.) Aldrizzt's part in Cake is really... that of an observer, huh?

Slice 10 of Cake was fluffier, I hope. XD;; First time I'd written from Moon's POV! I imagine him a total, hopeless romantic.

When You Fall was written for Father's Day! :D So happy I made it in time~~~.

BIGGEST ACHIEVEMENT OF THE YEAR WAS THAT I FINALLY FINISHED BITTERSWEET SWEETNESS. I THOUGHT IT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN. Oh, how long I spent with you, bodyswapped Judgment and Sun! These two parts are really more like an epilogue~. I made sure I finished before leaving for Anime Expo. :'D See Lucathia, that wasn't that hard, right...

It really feels good to finish something. <3

July
My Friend, the Pope (in-training) Part 6 (Legend of Sun Knight, 2269 words)
Grace Chapter 3 (Legend of Sun Knight, 1303 words)
A Vice-Captain's Tale Suggestion #6 (Legend of Sun Knight, 1816 words)

I went to a convention near the beginning of the month, and kiyutsuna was off in a different country, so our weekly updates of Cake stopped here! (Ahhhhh.) Instead of my WIPs, I was working on a very secret fic for parallelsfic. For Kiyu. XD;; I did most of the writing for "so we can get to know you" in July, but I edited throughout the beginning of August.

Anyway, aside from that fic, I thought, "Hey Lucathia, now that you're done with Bittersweet Sweetness, you can finally focus on all those other fics you started!" So, I updated My Friend, the Pope (in-training), Grace, and A Vice-Captain's Tale...

For My Friend, the Pope (in-training), I do have another chapter written, but I'm sitting on it because this is definitely a chapter that comes way later. =x Chapter 6 wasn't the first time I'd written Chikus, but he didn't get any easier to write. XD (I find that I can't separate him very well from other hotheaded characters I write). Small time skip in Grace, otherwise I'd never finish that fic. (I finally wrote about Grace's profession!) I had to stop there because I can't for the life of me find my notes for Grace. A Vice-Captain's Tale Suggestion #6 featured Vice-Captain Leaf! He really has his job cut out for him. XD *ruffles his hair*

August
Thank You (oneshot) (Legend of Sun Knight, 839 words)
My Very Own Creature of Darkness Part 1 (Legend of Sun Knight, 1394 words)
A Change in Routine (oneshot) (Legend of Sun Knight, 570 words)
so we can get to know you chapter 1 (Legend of Sun Knight, 1181 words)
so we can get to know you chapter 2 (Legend of Sun Knight, 1337 words)
A Rose for Your Hair Part 4 (Legend of Sun Knight, 1356 words)

I wrote some short fics as thank you fics for people who pre-ordered Bittersweet Sweetness~~~. (Thank you so much!) First was a oneshot called "Thank You" (very aptly named, right) for aoi_nezumi. Second was My Very Own Creature of Darkness for fhaystshilffe based off of this drawing. ♥ Somehow after some Skype conversations, all of the 38th gen and even a bunch of characters not part of the 38th gen received names for their reincarnations. a;jsdf;asfd;f WHICH MEANT THIS WOULD TOTALLY GET WRITTEN AS A MULTI-CHAPTERED FIC. XD;; How could I not when all these scenes were already rolling around in my head... A Change in Routine is a short thank you fic for K~~. It's yet another idea that I would love to see, but I will leave it alone. (I really will, okay) Adair and Vidar swapping duties, eeeee~~~

After reveals over at Parallels, I started posting "so we can get to know you" over here in this journal as well. :D

And then I found myself a new job! \o\

September
My Very Own Creature of Darkness Part 2 (Legend of Sun Knight, 1679 words)
so we can get to know you chapter 3 (Legend of Sun Knight, 2011 words)
A Slice of Wedding Cake Slice 12 (Legend of Sun Knight, 3129 words)
so we can get to know you chapter 4 (Legend of Sun Knight, 1086 words)
My Very Own Creature of Darkness Part 3 (Legend of Sun Knight, 1663 words)
so we can get to know you chapter 5 (Legend of Sun Knight, 1826 words)
My Very Own Creature of Darkness Part 4 (Legend of Sun Knight, 1671 words)
Dishonest Honesty Part 1 (Discarded Version) (Legend of Sun Knight, 1425 words)
The Time of Ten Suns Part 2 (Legend of Sun Knight, 1594 words)
so we can get to know you (Legend of Sun Knight, 2075 words)
Dishonest Honesty Part 2 (Discarded Version) (Legend of Sun Knight, 1374 words)

It looks like I wrote a lot in September, but I didn't write as much as the list seems to imply, haha. The new things I wrote were My Very Own Creature of Darkness Part 2, 3, and 4 (which is, I suppose, a fast pace for the current me), A Slice of Wedding Cake Slice 12, and The Time of Ten Suns Part 2.

My Very Own Creature of Darkness, abbreviated as OCD by Kiyu, happened fairly quickly because of Kiyu's drawings, ahahaha. They are very awesome incentives. :3;;

Cake! I need to write more of Cake, ahhhh. Slice 12 was the last I'd written of Cake... Only three more chapters from me. (Come on Lucathia. The ball is in your court right now. You gotta send it back to Kiyu's side. Fast!! The end is so near!) Slice 12 is Neo's POV. I really felt lucky that I got to write Chasel, Aldrizzt, and Neo. The older generation are awesome. :3;;

(I bet no one will guess who the last POV from me will be for Slice 18. XD;;)

I continued The Time of Ten Suns! I had a sudden urge to continue it, and Kiyu really helped me figure things out~~. She even drew all ten of the Suns, ahhhhhhhh. Writing Elmairy is quite a change for me. Very refreshing. I'm in Grisia's head much too often. XD;; Blue(berry) is quite cute though, isn't he?

I cleaned up "so we can get to know you" and posted more of it, and I also posted the discarded version of Dishonest Honesty! It really doesn't go anywhere though, unfortunately, which is why it was discarded. :'D;

October
Dishonest Honesty Part 3 (Discarded Version) (Legend of Sun Knight, 1507 words)
so we can get to know you chapter 7 (Legend of Sun Knight, 1544 words)
The Time of Ten Suns Part 3 (Legend of Sun Knight, 2283 words)
so we can get to know you chapter 8 (Legend of Sun Knight, 1786 words)
My Very Own Creature of Darkness Part 5 (Legend of Sun Knight, 1733 words)
so we can get to know you chapter 9 (Legend of Sun Knight, 1691 words)
My Very Own Creature of Darkness Part 6 (Legend of Sun Knight, 1870 words)
so we can get to know you chapter 10 (end) (Legend of Sun Knight, 934 words)
It's Always You: Selfish and Foolish (oneshot) (Legend of Sun Knight, 1087 words)
It's Always You: Meanwhile... (oneshot) (Legend of Sun Knight, 680 words)

Wow, so many posts for October too. XD;; I finished posting so we can get to know you~~~. I fleshed out some scenes a bit more, so the final result was slightly longer than what I have up on Archive of Our Own. Yay, I finished a longfic about Roland~~. (I finished a fic, period.)

I haven't posted part 4 of the discarded version of Dishonest Honesty, have I? :3;; I realized it was less complete than I thought. :'D

I updated with another chapter of The Time of Ten Suns. Much fun to be had with that one. I was hoping it would be somewhat of a mystery for people, but I think many of you already have it figured out, ahahah. (A mystery writer I am not)

I wrote more of My Very Own Creature of Darkness, Part 5 and Part 6~~. It's much more... romantic(?) than the majority of my fics. :'D;;

I wrote a companion piece to Kiyu's fic "It's Always You: Nearest and Dearest." Lesus's side was called "It's Always You: Selfish and Foolish," and then we wrote the extra ficlet together. It was great fun. XD; A prequel to A Slice of Wedding Cake~~.

November
My Very Own Creature of Darkness Part 7 (Legend of Sun Knight, 2588 words)
My Very Own Creature of Darkness Part 8 (Legend of Sun Knight, 2790 words)
The Time of Ten Suns Part 4 (Legend of Sun Knight, 1885 words)

My word count died in November! Report cards have that effect... :'D I wrote two new parts for My Very Own Creature of Darkness... They're supposed to be Halloween specials, ahahaha, but I didn't get around to writing them until November. Because things were just too hectic. I updated with another part for The Time of Ten Suns~. Slowly revealing each of the Suns. :D

I still need to write the last part of the Halloween special for OCD. It's not even Halloween anymore. Or even autumn.

I was hoping to write 50k in November and finish off my yearly word count goal, but that clearly didn't happen. :3;;;

December
Illuminate My Path (oneshot) (Legend of Sun Knight, 1704 words)
Follow the Sign Part 3 (Legend of Sun Knight, 1472 words)
A Vice-Captain's Tale Suggestion #7 (Legend of Sun Knight, 2493 words)

I was off on vacation during the second half of December and needed to finish up translations before then, so that didn't give me much time to write. Just a oneshot about Lesus, an update for Follow the Sign (eeee~~~ Adair~~~~) and an update to A Vice-Captain's Tale.

The hardest out of these three to write was Illuminate My Path... Someone illuminate my path for me, OTL. Why is writing so hard.

This was the first year in recent years that I didn't participate in Yuletide! Feels so weird, but it was the right decision. I wouldn't have been a good recipient or writer with how my mind was off in Japan. :3;;



Total number of stories: 12 longfics (2 completed), ~11 oneshots. That's more oneshots than I thought!

Total word count: ~113,844 words. My goal was 150k! I'm happy I passed the 100k mark. :) Only around 35~36k more to go, ahhhh. And pretty much all of that 113k was LSK fic... Not even a longfic, but a bunch of fics. XD;;

Fandoms written in: All fics were Legend of Sun Knight except for 1 Haikyuu fic. :'D

Leitmotif(s) of the year: Selfishness? Self doubt? Protectiveness? Loss? I think those were fairly prominent in my fics this year. The oneshot I wrote for Lesus's POV of "It's Always You" pretty much sums it up. Selfish and Foolish.

Favorite fic: Bittersweet Sweetness. Favorite fic this year? You bet it's Bittersweet Sweetness. I like it because I finished it, finally. =P And it's not a bad ending? It's a cute ending, right? :'D;

Best fic: I'll have to say A Slice of Wedding Cake because turning crack into a somewhat serious fic and developing it to this extent is quite a feat, no? I like being in all these heads and fleshing out each character's background. :D

Most popular fic: Still My Friend, the Pope (in-training). Which really surprised me. I'd even written (before I started writing and posting this fic), that I didn't think it would be well received. :'D Well, color me surprised...

Most underappreciated fic: so we can get to know you. Maybe because the main character is Roland and not Grisia. Maybe because it's set after v8. Maybe because I'd posted the fic in its entirety right away. Maybe because this was just around the time that school is starting for everyone. I don't know what factors are involved, but this fic didn't get a big response (though I think in general, people are less vocal lately. I'm saaad. Don't drift away from LSK~~~). I'm quite proud of the fic though~~. Also, finished fics are automatically more loved by me. =P

Favorite first lines:

I know that the issue of who would wear the wedding dress is on everyone's minds, and believe me, it's on mine too, but before we can get around to that, I have to first tell you about all the changes in the Sun Knight Platoon and the Judgment Knight Platoon that the sudden marriage announcement brought about.
-A Slice of Wedding Cake, Slice 2. (This is one long first line, ahaha.)

My physique was not really good enough for a leotard, was it?
-A Vice-Captain's Tale, Suggestion #5 (Poor Tyler...)

If it weren't because my friends had dared me to touch the gravestones, I would never have set even one foot in the cemetery.
-My Very Own Creature of Darkness, Part 1

I never thought there would come a day that I would raid through my parents' closet looking for clothes that I could give a creature of darkness that had donned a human appearance.
-My Very Own Creature of Darkness, Part 3

OCD has fun first lines~.

Most fun fic: A Vice-Captain's Tale. It is a humor fic (teasing Tyler is a lot of fun), unlike most of my other fics. They're getting a bit melodramatic lately because of canon events.

Sexiest fic: My Very Own Creature of Darkness??? there's this extra scene I wrote for Kiyu does that count

Fic that shifted my own perceptions of the characters: Definitely A Slice of Wedding Cake! Got to flesh out all the characters a bit more! And entertain a bunch of different pairings. XD

New pairing/genre/fandom you never predicted writing in January: Pairing fic in general. Ceo/Roland especially.

Hardest fic to write: That would be Invincible. =x I need to reread 1/2 Prince... (I keep saying this OTL)

Biggest disappointment: Not finishing more fics. Only updating Invincible one time...

Biggest surprise: Co-writing a fic! And Ceo/Roland. Where did that come from. How did it become so huge. Where did all these other pairings come from. I'm writing pairing fic??? What in the world is happening?? XDDD

Also, finishing Bittersweet, ahaha. I nearly thought it would never happen.

Most telling fic: I'm actually not too sure. Probably Bittersweet Sweetness, since I spent so long with it.

What's next? My goal is once again 150k for 2015! Let's see if I can reach it this year! I did manage to write more than I hoped in 2014, so that's awesome~~. I was hoping I could at least post something once a month (I so did that) and that I would post during the summer months (I so did that too!). Now, finishing my stories, on the other hand, continues to be a problem. At least I finished Bittersweet Sweetness and so we can get to know you, so that's something. I even printed Bittersweet Sweetness. That's quite an awesome feeling.

I hope to finish some more fics this year in 2015, probably A Vice-Captain's Tale first, Fifteen Going on Sixty, and A Slice of Wedding Cake. It would be (beyond) awesome to be able to print another book!

Meanwhile, I'll continue to rotate through my stories, and I hope that I haven't confused everyone with how random the stories are and how randomly I update (sometimes a year later for some of these fics...).

I'm still full of ideas for LSK fic, but I feel like I've written so much of just LSK in 2014 that it might be time for a change. I nearly feel like I'm spamming everyone. :'D;;; We'll see... (Still have to finish those WIPs)

I would like to try my hand at a mystery/thriller, but it's out of my forte. XD (and slow updates really don't work well with fics like that. They really need momentum!)

Comments

LSK Fics! XD

[(Anonymous)]

XD
Hi there, I'm a huge fan of LSK and No Hero!! XD
After reading through this looong post, I've finally decided to write a comment!
Well, after chasing after your fanfics for such a long time....
I actually don't know what to write now!! =.=|||
Many comment has lingered in my mind for a while now, but now that I am trying to write it down, I've found that I don't remember what I wanted to write anymore...
But I refuse to think it through again and write tomorrow!! (It's already 2352 man....)
So, I think I'll just try my best to remember them...
'Bout Bittersweet Sweetness,
I really love it! It makes me wanting to read LSK from different perspectives more!
And the ending is really hilarous and happy! :)
Although I didn't manage to buy the book (The loyal reader here is just fifteen and has a long way to go before she manages to receive her first pay! T-T)
Fifty Going on Sixty,
My sixth sense told me that the ending will be a happy one.
And the reason you has wrote about Grisia's hair really sounds convincing!
And Elaro even said that his teacher didn't look aged in the last book!
I'm really looking forward to the ending of this story! ;)
A Vice Captain's Tale is also a very funny story, which I like it too!
Tyler's actions are all befitting with his straight personality! XD
About Follow The Sign,
I adored it! XD (The main reason is of course it is the first No Hero fic that I have read, I couldn't find any other adventure- based No Hero fic in English or even Chinese... T-T)
When I first read Yu Wo's No Hero, I started it in English.
I randomly chose a chapter from PR and began to read it.
When the phrase 'Dark Sun' popped out, the only explanation that I can think of was: Is it a crossover of LSK? 'Coz it really makes me think about Demon King Grisia...
I guess it is the habits of LSK fans to think about LSK when going through stories with the existence of sun.
My Friend, The Pope in Training,
In my opinion, is it a sad fic?
Although I couldn't remember much of the storyline, it seems to me that this is the most normal longfic you have written... (Well, Grisia is supposed to be the pope if he fails...)
About Invincible,
I actually didn't read Half Prince before, so I never read the fic too, hahaha...
For Grace, the storyline is a bit shorter compared to the others, so I'll just wait for you a little longer before I make a comment on it!
The Time of Ten Suns--- I love it! XD
Although I do not know if you're planning for it to be a serious fic or not, it's really 'homey' for me as it took a diffent route fron the original storyline...
Seriously, I'm really curious about which one will be the real sun (ori sun), as neither Blue nor the other suns feel like him...
A Slice of Wedding Cake is the best of best too!!
It portraits perfectly the situations (should I call that?) they will be in if they really cross the line of friendship and develop into something more..
And it's really romantic and with all the different perspective of the knight- captains, it is really good!
About So We Can Get to Know You,
Well it's as you say, I adore Grisia more than Roland, and the pairing is not really... Erm...
And My Very Own Creature of Darkness too,
It is a bit weird in my opinion as Grisia is not the main character... (Well, that's what happens when one adores Grisia too much...)
A Change in Routine is great too! XD
I love it but I have hoped that you'll continue the story as a longfic, but yeah...
The one- shot has its unique taste too!

Unfortunately, it's already too late and I won't risk my mum waking up suddenly and saw me still not sleeping, so I'll just stop here.
I'll try to write a bit more tomorrow if you don't mind! :)
Thank you for reading my not-to-the-point and extremely skin- deep comments!
Good night! XD
Hope to receive your reply soon~
:)

Thanks for making your way through this huge post. Love your comments. <3333 I hope you got enough sleep, since you sound like you were writing this comment quite late at night! You make me curious when you started reading my fics. If it was earlier than 2014, you'd have been really young!

It makes me really happy to hear that you've read a number of fics listed here! Yay for Bittersweet Sweetness! Writing from Judgment's POV was a lot of fun~~. When I have time (when will I have time...) I do hope to be able to provide an ebook version of the book. I already have a pdf version of the fic! But this version would have all the pictures and all of the oneshots included, just like the print version. (All I have to do really, is round up all the pictures again...)

Yes, yes! The fact that Grisia looks like he hasn't aged at all in 39 LSK is part of how I started thinking about immortality as a repercussion from resurrection. It works out pretty well in connection with the Pope. :3

Hehe, Tyler really suits being Roland's vice-captain! Finally more than halfway with the story. I can't wait to write all the other vice-captains. :D

Too bad Follow the Sign will only stay with No Hero for another part or two, and then we'll be seeing the next world the fic will be crossed over with. (There will be a lot of different Yu Wo series featured~) Adventured based No Hero fics! *____* That would be very awesome. I haven't actually read any No Hero fics that are just No Hero fics. (where are the epic fics? :3;;) It's only been crossovers with LSK that I've read. Do you read Chinese? It sounds like you do~. Haha, me too! Dark Sun really made me think of Sun. All the Sun Emperor, Sun Alliance, etc (all this sun stuff, really), made me think of Sun conquering the world. I hope Sun and the Sun Emperor never meet. :'D;; (But it would actually be quite something)

Huh, you're right. My Friend, the Pope (in-training) is quite a "normal" fic. Just an AU spin on things, but otherwise no other major tropes involved (like bodyswap... or super hair, ahaha, or clones). Or well, I guess it would be the "alternate profession" trope. I feel it has somewhat of a wistful tone. It's not going to be a sad fic! Well, not sad sad...

I see, I see. Invincible would be hard to follow without knowing 1/2 Prince! 1/2 Prince characters have more of the main character role in this fic, while the setting and plot is more LSK based. Aldrizzt and Neo get a large part though. :3 (It's been amusing writing them)

Yeah, Grace is definitely still in the introductory phase! It's going to be a long fic... if I can find it in me to continue! (and well, I need to find my notes or re-plan altogether)

The Time of Ten Suns is half serious, half not? XD; That's how I think of it~. Huh, first time I've heard it described as homey! Interesting. :D There'll be some sad parts! And then there will be crack as well, ahaha.

A Slice of Wedding Cake totally caters to my love of different POVs. XD

Haha, I see~~. Poor Roland. I'm guilty of the same, actually. Most fics are about Grisia, and even if he isn't the narrator, the fics still tend to be focused on him. He is the main character after all! I'm trying to branch out a bit more. :3;; (I should write more Adair XDDD I would love to read something like A Change in Routine... XDDD)

If you have more to ramble, I'd love to hear it. XDDD Good night~~

*stares in dazed happiness at the above comment* I-It's another No Hero fan... The fanbase is larger than I thought? *happy tears stream down* During break, I was at this low point for a while because it felt like no one loved that universe... MY FAITH IN HUMANITY IS RESTORED.

*sniffles a little* My my... The year went by so fast... And I'll definitely be following your fanfics for another one! Um... Unless none of the plotbunnies I lobbed over the Pacific made it back... In which case, we'll have to find you new ones. And then watch as you write a crackfic about something like bunnies that follow Sun the whole day around and somehow turn it from a crackfic to something really sad and touching. Homeless bunnies pleading for the mercy of the God of Light? Undead dark element bunnies joining the Church? (... I think we're better off trying to find the original plot bunnies.)

But yeah... 100k words... I have no idea how you even managed that. 3k already seems to be a brain-frying. (Heh. But reading it goes by so much faster. *total addict*)

I think "so we can get to know you" might have had slow responses because most of us addicts already read it as soon as we could. Strong emotion often provokes a lot of responses, so if you've read it already, you just kind of wonder what to write... XD

Psh! Time of Ten Suns is definitely the "sexiest fanfic!" Why settle with 12 bishounen hotties when you can have 20! (Plus Blueberry's extra footloose charmer skills.)

XD I still think Bittersweet Sweetness is your best fic, but A Slice of Wedding Cake was really well put together as well. The symbolism and sequence of events and characters and EVERYTHING.

I think you would be splendid as a Mystery/Thriller writer because you already have the basics down! Every time I a new update, it sends a thrill through my heart. And then whenever I chapter ends, it's always a mystery as to when the next update might be. Besides, the wait and cliffhangers will build up the suspense! (But how to make a Mystery/Thriller out of LSK? Is this really going to be one of the Church of the God of Light Scandals? "Sun Knight's Body Found Naked in Alleyway!"? "Former Sun Knight Kills Sun Knight!"? "Storm Knight Actually a Virgin!"? "The Judgment Knight likes Sweets!"? "The Secret Ingredient in the Ice Knight Blueberry Pies?" "Leaf Knight is a Suspiciously Ridiculously Nice Person"?)

Next goal is 150k for 2015? With all these 15's around, it sounds like a very good year!

[lucathia]

15 is a great number, I'm sure you agree. =P

Time to break out the pompoms for No Hero! Hey, if we didn't like it, PR wouldn't have pick it up. Though it seems that less people are producing fanwork for No Hero (we have you~~ *\o\*). I wish more people would comment on the translations too. The comments are always interesting to read through. :3 (But in general, the LSK chapters are getting less comments lately too.) With No Hero being a novel only series with no manhua promoting it means less readers, huh...

The year went by too fast. T___T I confess, the plunnies made it to me, but I made them into bunny pajamas instead. :'D;; The pajamas are very comfy. Ah, looks like one of them escaped that fate! *pats it* I'm sure this one will multiply and take revenge for its lost comrades. =x Undead dark elemental bunnies joining the Church, omgol. That sounds a little nightmarish. XD

100k worth of brain-frying. XD Reading it does go by very fast, ahaha. XD All that hard work! (Not a bad thing though, otherwise editing would take forever XDDD)

Yup yup, if it were me... with something like so we can get to know you, I would just read the entire fic all at once. :'D (And then move on...) Bye Roland, it was good to have known you for half an hour... (does it even take half an hour to read the fic)

Pffft! Twenty bishounens. *____* With extra charm from Blueberry. How would the fangirls ever manage. XD;;; How would Adair ever survive with ten of his captain.

Bittersweet Sweetness will always have a special place in my heart. :3; I thought I wouldn't have much to write after pouring a bunch of my thoughts about Judgment and Sun into that fic, but somehow... all these other fics happened, hmmm.... Let's hope I'm not being repetitive. XD

Pffft. "When will the next update come? What a mystery!" Noooo, that would be a terrible mystery.

Those would all be very good crack fics. XD I would read those mysteries, ahahaha. XDDD

Now, to kick that "0 words" out of the way... and start the year off!

one year of touching all your things

[fhaystshilffe.livejournal.com]

When did I even start actively reading? Idek, ahahah. But I think Fifteen was released at the time... Though there was a first run where I read just a few fic before going through the entirety of FFnet and reading every LSK fic I could bear, ahaha |D Then came stalking, and give it another while until I went over here... And now we're friends! I'm so happy, ahhh~~~ ILU. Both you and Kiyu. I'm so happy to have met you, you're such sweeties ahhh~~~~~ (even if I still believe you're laughing sadistically while Kiyu and me sob ourselves into sorry messes over things, especially Roland)

Bittersweet Sweetness! The fic I refused to read for a long time! *lovingly strokes book cover* I'm actually super happy to have read it in the end, even if there was weird giggling on the bus |D I still felt why I was cautious the read it in the first place, haha. But in the end even that wasn't so bad! With these kinds of fics, the problem usually lies at the beginning though, when the characters are still getting used to their new... "position" and beginnings are the easiest to drop for me, ahh. Really, Lesus' parts where so much more comfortable to read! Because he's just much calmer. I trust in Grisia's acting skills, but not always in his reaction speed, if you get what I mean, ahaha~~

Fifteen Going on Sixty! I actually really like this fic, ahaha. I'm really attached to first gen somehow Cute popey pope being angsty! Let me keep you company, C-kun. Those flashbacks, ah~~~

A Vice-Captain's Tale! This fic is also super cute, ahhh~~~ I love seeing your takes on all the Vice-Captains!! I think they're super fitting |DDD <333 But please, do not wear a leotard, Tyler dear. Even if I'm sure Roland will appreciate the thought!

A Rose for Your Hair! tbh I keep forgetting this fic exists, ahahaha xD;;;; Even if there's such nice fanart of it! Lesus' super hair~~~ I keep thinking of the comic super villain character from that one My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic episode. Something about an accident with chemicals at a shampoo factory, so she went mad but gained super hair in return... Please do not become a super villain, Lesus dear. (Imagine Demon King Grisia with super hair that just does whatever it wants to when he sleeps, just like he apparently casts magic in his sleep)

Follow the Sign! Another fic I kept forgetting, but by now it's stuck, aha. After talks with Kiyu that gained me insight on another certain fic... I really need to goi through all your fics and reread everything again! Also hurrr, Adair. I still haven't read past chapter 1 of No Hero, but I think I get what's happening well enough! Hero Adairrrrr~~~

Re: one year of touching all your things

[lucathia]

*hugs* AAaaaaaaaahhhhhhh such juicy comments let me sneakily read them right before work and between breaks and then reread them again before I sleep

Oh oh! So around the beginning of 2014 then. *____* You are such a sweetie yourself. I'm so glad to have met you. Thaaaank you so much for swinging by. I'm so terrible at initiating conversations! But wait. I pleaaaaad innocent. I am not cackling over here. ;___; just smiling XDDD you two are adorable

I confess, when I was rereading Bittersweet Sweetness, I ended up giggling at some parts myself. Oh Lesus, the pain I put you through... Lesus thanks you for sharing his pain. XDD It's much easier and more comforting for me to write Lesus than Grisia. =x

Yessss, first gen. *____* Must write more of the first gen! I guess Fifteen will have to do for now though. XD C-kun hahaha~~ *pats him*

Vice-captains are adorable. I wish I could hug them all. :3;;

A Rose for Your Hair has a very weak existence, huh? XDDD I should just finish it already~~. It's not an overly long fic after all (says Lucathia). Lesus with long hair~~ Chasel would be proud (?) (Oh dear, Demon King Grisia is already a handful. Wild hair attacking people while he's sleeping? Better run away, Illu!)

XDDDD the crossover of doom, and only you and Kiyu know what I'm talking about right now Trying to pull off a Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle is going to be hard for me... but let's do this! \o\ (Also, I need to advance all these other fics more before I can work on the other one XDDD) Adair <33333 Hopefully some of the other worlds will be more familiar for you~~~

Re: one year of touching all your things

[fhaystshilffe.livejournal.com]

Luca-sensei get to work on time please, being late because I'm looking at this blog is my job

Yeaaah~~~ should be around the beginning of the year!! Looking at Kiyu's art summary reminded me how I didn't pay too much attention to her at first either, ahaha. Or rather, I recognized her as "Lucathia's friend" that felt somewhat distant because we didn't really interact much directly... And then you went away on con and Roland feels happened and we all know how that went |Db <33

Just let me touch all you things and screech at you how much I like them <333 Big sister Luca! I kinda feel like the younger sibling because I can't read chinese, ahaha~ (For the record, I am a real life younger sister and get along great with my big sis, so that's a good thing!)

Yessss, more first gen please <3333 A pity we don't know much about most of them yet! I wanna see moreeeee~~~~

Sssssh, you can do it \o/ I can imagine xDD Go work on all the fics~~~ Give this fangirl things to cry about~~~~ (But don't overdo things, you real-life Ceo!) I need to read more different things, ahahaha~ :'D //alwasy knows about things' existence but often never read the actual thing

Re: one year of touching all your things

[lucathia]

don't worry, I was already at work waiting for it to start, what better way to occupy the time than grin at my phone? XD

Kiyu and I really got to talking a whole lot more after Cake. XDD Bless this cake fic. But yes yes, it was after that Round Robin post that you made an LJ account right~~~. Bless that Round Robin post too. XD Roland feels. <333

Aaaahhhhhh big sister Luca :'D;;;; So so strange because I'm a younger sister myself~~ But it has a cute ring to it. :3

I got a bit more sleep than the normal work week this week! Which means around 5 hours a day. Will sleep lots over the weekend. XD

Let me love you moreeeeeee

[fhaystshilffe.livejournal.com]

Long Live the Sun Knight! Woah, that was already written in February? So old! Older than I thought! Sun!Lesus is still my true husbando. Let me ease your loneliness~~ Grisia can go back to his normal Lesus, you're mine! <3 //shot
Also, I really like the idea of Judgement!Roland. Ahh~~ I'm quite sure Scarlet wouldn't have been all that happy about her dear child dying at such a young age though :'D

My Friend, the Pope (in-training)! That fic is really super popular?? I mean, it's super cute and I like it, but I never thought-- Compared to your other longer fics it seems quite... basic to me. Maybe that's just it? It's less specialized, so it draws a bigger audience? (Grisia is the cutest pope in training though. Also, love for different-POV-fics!)

Wrong Choice or Not! WAILS INTO THE NIGHT HE LOVES HIM SO MUCH. Is there really much to say. I am not exactly articulate if it's about your angsty Lesus POV fics. I AM JUST SITTING HERE VIBRATING WITH EMOTION

Invincible! The one update, ahaha. I have to say I'm not as excited about this fic as some people seem to be, but that's just because I simply don't share the hype about 1/2 Prince. It's still fun! Well-written crossovers are great~

Grace! Started of as "oh yeah another one" to me but by now I grew fond of it. Modern Chikus being a protective big bro especially!

The Time of Ten Suns! Ahahaha. Again an unspectacular start when it was still more or less a oneshot, but when you picked it up again... Now I'm super excited about new updates |D Especially reading the comments xD it feels great to know more than others and watch them guess xDD But also the fic itself is fun~~~ Blueberry, I wanna be your friend~~~~ And of course I'm excited about the other Suns too! Especially "Sword-wielding Sun" and "Mature looking Sun", obviously |D Looking forward to a chapter dealing with "Neo's Kid" more! Getting to know what-even-is-his-nickname-I-don't-wanna-call-him-by-name-in-public (Ecilan's Sun) is super interesting too actually! And looking forward to Lesus dealing with his Sun... ahhh. I'm really excited about everything in this fic, ahaha! We'll see how far you can get with Elmairy as a narrator~ I love how you write him, but a single person POV might get restrictive with 10 Suns under different people's care to deal with!

Insanity! Also known as, I went to PR! page to go read the April Fool's chapter but still failed to find the real one at first, ahaha xDD //found the password but missed the link
I didn't look at the header line stating who "translated" the chapter, but when Adair showed up, it was obvious it had to be you! |D

A Slice of Wedding Cake! CAKE!! Caaaaaake~~~~~ The fic that is excitement. Obv. my favorite this year xDD Ahhh, so many insights~~~ Me crying about how invested I am in Neo and Chasel~~~~~ Falling into Ceo/Roland hell~~~~~~~ THE OTP DOING THE MARRYING. This entire fic is pure bliss. Happiness to all those dumb knights!! Lesus is a beautiful bride ahhh~~~ <3333 (I'm still excited he's actually wearing Carol's mask! CHYEAH.) But really, how the hell did I go from "uuuuh okay, I'll just go along with this" to "UNHOLY WAILING" about Roland and Ceo? xDD I blame Kiyu~~~ A lot of that is really just general unholy wailing about Roland and wishing for his happiness, but actually Ceo fits so well. Ahhh. Both of you ruined me. STILL NOTHING TOPS THE OTP. They love each other so muuuuuuuuuuuuuch~~~~~~~~~~~

In Want of Warmth! That thing! I need to reread that :'D Still not exactly able to take it seriously due to its origins, but so cute!

The View Through the Window! Valica is a sweetie ahhhh~~~ Mommy Elmairy is the best! You found yourself a home and familiy, child~~~ (Ceo, why are your so excited about Shuis calling you mum!) Now I imagine little Grisia calling Neo mum, and Neo being too shocked to even get angry.

Re: Let me love you moreeeeeee

[lucathia]

Long Live the Sun Knight was written earlier than I thought too. Sun!Lesus is totally your husbando. That's kind of what made me think I'd written it later because I remember you talking about it later.... Maybe it was when I put all the stories together in the Bittersweet anthology. :3;;; Ahhh, Lesus with golden hair~~~. Lonely smiles... Judgment!Roland is fascinating to me. I nearly fell into the pitfall of continuing the oneshot because of that. XDDD Scarlet... ;___;

Judging by how many people comment on My Friend, the Pope (in-training), I'd say that people find the idea of Grisia becoming the pope fascinating? :3;; And you're right, it's less specialized, so maybe that means there's a wider audience. Also, it's a concept that lots of people have thought about before! I've seen it explored more than once in Chinese fandom. (One of the longfics with Grisia as the Pope ended up as RolandxGrisia... the ending felt a little tragic to me!) But I'm confused because nothing happens in My Friend, the Pope (in-training). Just cute antics so far? XDDD It's been translated into Chinese thanks to SilverManjusaka, and the reception over at Yu Wo's forums is fairly good too. It even trended for a bit over at the forums~~

You make me want to write all the angsty Lesus oneshots. i swear i'm not a sadist lesus is such a dear that's why

Nothing much happens in Invincible either. I'm guessing the readership is a bit wider with this one too, because it's an adventure fic, and part of the readership is 1/2 Prince fans~~. A lot of crossover with LSK fans, but still some different fans! Grisia hasn't even spoken a single word yet in the fic. XDDD Lesus hasn't even shown up! Such a strange feeling~~

I might be a little too ambitious with Grace~~ (so much that the fic has gone nowhere XDDD)

I'm super excited about the Time of Ten Suns too! \o\ I want to write Lesus dealing with his Sun already, ahhhhhhh. And I'm quite looking forward to Chikus and his Sun. Sword-wielding Sun~~~ *____* He's going to be a lot of fun to write about. XDDD I think Ecilan's Sun was being called questioning Sun or amnesiac Sun at first by some people. XDD I think I've just been calling him Ecilan's Sun. Elmairy is such a cute narrator, but ahhhh, so restricting being only in his head. (what is going on with the other Suns, Elmairy??? You need to go around and be a huge social butterfly! get into everyone's business! make some new voodoo dolls for these Suns!)

Ahaha, Insanity~~. Of course Adair had to show up. How could he not. XDD But hey, I did translate the actual chapter~~

Caaaaake. <3333 You made writing Cake really fun. (Lesus is a beautiful bride indeed) Love love love Carol's mask. (Lesus looks amazing with it too~~) I totally blame Kiyu for the Roland & Ceo. XDDDD The result (and the way it came about) = beautiful. XDD Grisia looks really stunning in his tux too~~. Ahhh, so many lovely drawings from Kiyu. (I can't get over how she has drawn illustrations for every single chapter ahhhhhhh) Doubling as artist and co-writer! Double the work!

Hahaha, In Want of Warmth sure comes from a crack-filled premise. Click and drag game. XDD;; Ecilan. <333

Cute little Valica! <3 Little Grisia calling Neo "mom" ahhhhhhhh. new Mother's Day fic? lolol It is still a terribly adorable image and I can totally see it happening.

Re: Let me love you moreeeeeee

[fhaystshilffe.livejournal.com]

Idek about Long Live the Sun Knight. My feeling tells me I read it immediately and that I made my sketch immediately, for which I in return got Kiyu's drawing with the long hair (which meant ultimate husbando status), but at the same time my feeling tells me I read it at a later part of the year. I don't know??? I have the worst sense of time and order :'D Then again, When You Fall feels like it's been published so much later too! But it's actually in the Bittersweet anthology. Hah, I kinda didn't feel the last few months happening at all while at the same time being too much wasted time and waiting... ahh, IRL. I guess the real question might be rather if Fifteen was really already published when I got around to here :'D

But then again, I made my account here (after stalking for a while) when Round Robin was a thing because I didn't wanna need to sign my things, and that was in April.... Something doesn't quite add up here!! Well, it adds up better with Kiyu's art summary actually. Ahh, I'm confused. "FFnet-only but you already acknowledged my existance" stage might be messing up my feeling a bit. But did I really only read Long Live the Sun Knight so much later after release?!

My Friend is a super cute fic! But as you say, there hasn't been all too much actual story yet xD Just cuteness! People love cuteness.

Do it. Write them. All the angsty Lesus oneshots. you're totally the sadist to my masochistic potatoeness. also Lesus is the dearest

Which one was Chikus' again--- //looks it up Oh!! Ahhh, that might be interesting too, ahhh. EVERYTHING'S SO EXCITING. Lesus dealing with his Sun will be so, so important to me, I know it. But also one of the things that might be... tricky to pull off in full with Elmairy as a narrator.

One day I wanna craft that mask for myself |DD If I'll cosplay actual Judgment Knight Carol or give in to the temptation of making a wedding dress... we'll see about that //shot (more like we'll see if I ever get anything done in the first place!) Kiyu's drawings are the best <33333 You are both doing a marvellous job at creating this fic!! I WANNA READ MORE *nudges gently*

Re: Let me love you moreeeeeee

[lucathia]

(Go make that mask, yesssss.)

Oh yes yes, I think I remember comments from ffnet. XD That might be what's confusing me too. XDDD

I literally went over double the sign limit

[fhaystshilffe.livejournal.com]

When You Fall, I'll Pick You Back Up! I HAVE SO MANY FEELINGS FOR THIS FIC. Teachers being parents, ahhhh. I love how it's Chasel's POV. Because of his personality/your portrayal of it, Lesus' (temporary) death and how he knows both Neo and Lesus oh so well. Aaaahhhh I'm crying. LOVE.

Thank You! Cuteness! We need more of the Knights interacting without Grisia being the core, ahh. And we need more of Demos and Ecilan in general. CUTIES.

My Very Own Creature of Darkness! I AM CRY. THIS IS THE CRY. I am still sooooo EXCITED AND HAPPY AND HONOURED AND PROUD. First of all for getting a thank you thing in general! I AM UNDESERVING. Tbh I laughed when I first got it because hella, did I really look that invested in Ceo and Roland already at the time. WELL BY NOW I CERTAINLY AM. How did this fic growwww~~~~ It's greaaaat~~~ and feels like a personal achievement to me because HEY IT STARTED AS A GIFT FOR ME. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR IT AHHHHhhhhhhhh~~~~ I love you so much~~~~~~~~~~

A Change in Routine! The premise is super interesting, and I'd love to see more of it, but I can imagine how hard it would be to write!

so we can get to know you chapter! This fic truly is great and truly is underappreciated. I aggree on the thought that the more enthusiastic readers read the entire thing in one go! (I did too. And immediately thought "wait, is this written by Luca, the writing style seems to fit...." Especially when it was Ceo who didn't shrink I was pretty much dead sure, ahaha) And then I had to lie down in a puddle of my feelings so I only wrote a short comment days later.
Roland! You're loved and you belong, you damn angsty brick!!

Dishonest Honesty! Such an interesting idea, but I see how you'd need a base story to work with outside of the premise.

It's Always You! AAaaaAAAaAAAAAAaaaAAaaaaahhHHHhhhh *GARGLING WAILING SOUNDS* Basically I'm just sobbing "LooOOOoooVeeeeEEeee" to myself here. I don't even have words. IT HURTS SO MUCH BUT IT HURTS SO GOOD. LIVING THE MASOCHISTIC POTATOE LIVE RIGHT HERE.

Illuminate My Path! aka. Lesus isn't the only one who loves Grisia SO DAMN MUCH. STUPID CHILD, EVERYONE LOVES YOU. YOU'RE IMPORTANT. STOP DISREGARDING YOURSELF FOR THE SAKE OF OTHERS.

Re: I literally went over double the sign limit

[(Anonymous)]

*blinks a few times at the triple uber post* I COMMEND YOUR STAMINA! *salutes* Being able to eloquently express such passionate feelings for a sustained amount of time is truly an admirable feat! Whenever I reach such levels of enthusiasm, I normally burn myself out or melt into a puddle of feels. And when I melt into a puddle of feels, I no longer have usable fingers to type comments with. (EHHH? fhaystshilffe's only been around for a year? I-It feels like it's been forever! ... When did I even find lucathia-jiejie's blog anyway?)

You always make such pretty comments. It's really a beautiful sight seeing someone so happy. *as "GARGLING WALING SOUNDS" go on in the background*

*click click, click click* I think I have just as much fun reading people's comments on lucathia's blog/chapters and on PR!'s chapter releases, as I do reading the actual texts... Nothing like fellow fanatics to multiply the feels.

Re: I literally went over double the sign limit

[lucathia]

You are all so articulate. ladjfa;sdfa;df Hats off to all of you! Like you said, eloquent and passionate expression! You'd write really nice fic~~ write more pls (See, meanwhile, my vocab is limited to "nice" and "cute" XDD;;; yet I am subjecting people to my fic ahhhhhhhhhhh /o\ /o\)

Very true. Puddles don't have fingers. Do you even have eyes??? Puddles sound quite cute though. Maybe you'd look like Calcifer from Howl's Moving Castle. He's not a puddle, but close enough... :'D (he's very cute)

My memory is terrible. I know not when puddle-meimei appeared. One day, the puddle was there, as if it had been there all the time. 0____0

Yesssss, fhaystshilffe's comments are much love. They make me gleeful.

(I like reading reviews. And comments. And comments on other people's fics too. And people's impressions in general~~)

Re: I literally went over double the sign limit

[fhaystshilffe.livejournal.com]

Ahahaha |D either I'm short-but-wordy (what are short sentences? I can say little with many words) or just... over-excited and rant on for ages, ahaha. Gotta share the excitement! and I really just can't do short :'D Ahahaha, I know that feeling too~~ Which is why I like to write my comments while reading; otherwise, at the end, I just sit there and don't know what to say. Better documents all my stray thoughts in the process instead! xDD
(I've been in the fandom a few months longer and lingered around here and there, but I actually only got active around the beginning of the year! Actually, it feels like even less time to me---)

I really just cry and yell in my comments, don't I xD;;; But good to hear people are amused? <3

My PR! comments are less spectacular though I believe~

Re: I literally went over double the sign limit

[lucathia]

Looooove for the teachers ahhhhh. <333

YES more Ecilan and Demos can only equate to awesomeness and adorableness. :DDD

No, no, see, I totally blame you for getting me thinking about Roland so much. All the angst and tragedy that is Roland! That drawing of him in that tree ahhhhhh. So so heartbreaking. The Ceo part, well, that came from the comments that the illustration generated. kiyu's fault, right XDDD I'll still need to work in them playing dating games, lololol. GETTING THERE. (Have I told you yet how cute your idea is of Grisel wanting to play the knight (was it the knight) to Lesia's 1st generation Judgment Knight in the school play only to get cast as a certain adorable slime instead? will you write this as a side fic Gotta work some kind of mention of this into the fic too XDDD)

AAAAaaaadaaair. I'm still thinking that he'd have a much better time than Vidar. XD

Roland the angsty brick. XD;; Hahahaha, at the time, I think the largest factor that made people doubt if that fic was written by me was that it was ~15k (10 chapters) and finished. (Lucathia finishing a fic????) Kiyu didn't even think it was me ahahaha

I had plans for Georgo and Ceo to go on a mission together in Dishonest Honesty, but then I realized that would take them away from most of the characters we know... which would make things less interesting. XD; Ceo has plans to investigate the trinket, so that would've been a large part of the plot~~

We love our masochistic potatoe. <33333 It's Always You is alllll Kiyu. Who's the angst queen now!!!

Yes yes Grisia, you're well loved!!!

[fhaystshilffe.livejournal.com]

I admit I never really thought too much about Roland before that incident actually xDD Like, I liked him and he's always been a bit more special than most the other Knights, but that was pretty much it. But then I just got so bored because you were away and I didn't have Kiyu to talk to yet at the time, so I revisited old stuff and a MLP doujin music playlist, PopGoestheBallon's "Attachment" fanfic and the old post about Searching for Roland later I realized how tragic the butterfly that is Roland truly is. uvu
#LetsBlameKiyu THE DATING GAMES YES. Those are important, I will not accept them not happening ûu Grisel wanted to be the useless bard of a Sun Knight, but instead he got to be the glorious jello |DD I'm still all for his dear Mother having photos of that play up and telling everyone about it when she rants about how Grisel used to be much cuter as a child //shot m-maybe---- Me and fanfiction writing, ahaha

(If I had been on the receiving end of that fic, I would have had my doubts if chance really would have gotten me you of all people as my benefitor xDD It's in the point of view, I tell you)

Kiyu, the queen of getting angsty ideas but somehow still turning them to sap in the end xDD Sssssh, you'll always be the queen of Lesus angst!!!

"Kiyu, the queen of getting angsty ideas but somehow still turning them to sap in the end xDD Sssssh, you'll always be the queen of Lesus angst!!!"

This.
This is truth! XD

A Handy Dandy Chart of writing differences:
Kiyu: Angst -> SAP
Not angst -> SAP
Crack -> SAP
Anything -> SAP

Luca*: Crack -> Angst
Sap -> Angst
Angst -> ANGST
*With sprinkles of everything else nice on top.

ROFL.

Rereading this is only making me laugh harder.

Sometimes the crack does stay crack okay. Look at The Impressive Adair Fan Club! (that's been forever though, the crack has escaped me)

Angst because ANGST. lol.

Yay Welcome Back!! =^__^= It must have been amazing! Great timing with the yen conversion ~ how was the weather? Cold? :O Did you go to Comiket? =*.*=

Thank you again so so much about the figures, it makes me so happy I cannot even express =~.~=

Yeah, the jet lag coming back to the states is killer. Death. XD I always go to work the next day anyway omg lol. XDDD;;; It's like staying up for 30 hours.

[lucathia]

It was really tiring but fun~~ (I spent so much money ahaha). The yen conversion was awesome though! The weather wasn't as cold as I thought it would be. In fact, I must've brought dry weather with me, because my umbrella was pretty much unnecessary for the entire trip! Tottori prefecture snows a lot, but when I was there, there were only a few flakes of snow. (After I left, I heard they had a snowstorm and the planes stopped flying. What good luck I have!) When I was in Kyoto, it was super sunny! And then when I was in Tokyo, it only sprinkled for a bit. I really didn't need my umbrella. Such gooood luck. I went to the first two days of Comiket~~ :DDD

The figures are cuteness! <333

Ugh the jetlag. I'm mostly over it now but still prone to naps.

How can I not comment here~

2014 is the year of the Cake okay. *Nods very seriously* //bricked
No I'm kidding it's the year of the Zombie. //gets stabbed

ANYHOW.
This had been such a fun yeaaaar wheeeeeeeeeeeeee *throws flowers*

Bittersweet was an epic ride~ I remember when I first found and read it and fell head over heels ahhhh. Such a meaningful story, marked the beginning of Kiyu's (self-appointed) career of Luca's (questionable) art slave. *Wipes tear dramatically*
Come to think of it the first serious fanart I did for you was that very questionable scene there ahahahhaha. (Ohey it totally mirrors that even more questionable scene in OCD way later! How history repeats~~~)

I don't think I really paid much attention to 15-60 besides the mandatory read-through (yes it's mandatory for any proud member of the Luca-Stalker Clan to read everything no matter what okay) until 10 Suns and Pope's chapter in Cake... *wails Poooooope to the skies now*
Do write more of this lovely shota write write write //bricked

VC's Tale is full on adorableness. Enough said. YOU CAN DO IT TIRE-CHAN, CONQUER THE ELUSIVE LEOTARD-KUN. (<-- Sudden split second plot line of Tyler/Leotard is now born. You're welcome.)

SUPER HAIR!!! Wheeeeeeeeeee. Lesus' honorary spot in the Fabu Hair Club needs love /o/

Follow the Sign is pretty much Luca's guilty pleasure Adair story eh =w= It's okay we love your love for Adair~~~

Bwahahahahhahahaha Long Live the Sun Knight. Aka how on earth did Luca turn that crack convo into an angsty story. *Feeds you more crack*

Pope!Grisia is an adorable blob let's leave it at that /o/

Wrong Choice or Not *sobs* more like Lesus' love letter to Grisia. (Actually all of your Lesus oneshots are like love letters to Grisia. Dear Despicable Sun Knight, please love this serious cutie back already.)

I hope you finish Invincible by the time I graduate uni..........

Grace! I eager await Lesus' arrival ohohohoooo.

10 Suns~~ *wide grin* Let me take a moment to be ridiculously happy with myself for the direction it has now taken. *A moment of giddiness plz*

Pffft Insanity. Go make 12 holy knight babies Grisia~ //gets booted off a cliff

CAKE! CAKE CAKE CAKE CAKE CAAAAAKE!!!
One of Kiyu's biggest proud achievements of the year is this collab with Luca~~~~~ It all began with the crack idea of sticking Lesus in a frilly dress, now it's an epic fic of sap and angst and more sap to drown in. *happy tears*
Mwahahahah Ceo/Roland is the most beautiful accidental ship ever.
Alllllll the ships~~~ Cake is the fic that forced Luca to start writing romance I think, though she turns that into angst too.... *sighs and stares at the Neo/Chasel side angstbucketlove that's ALL Luca's fault*
Let's work hard to finish Cake this year! /o/

In Want of Warmth~ Aka the start of the Ice/Blaze/Cloud threesome ship that's now in OCD eh.......

The View Through the Window~ VALICA IS ADORABLENESS.

When You Fall ahhhhh ;___; beautiful teacher feelz all the way!

Let me screech to the heavens over "so we can get to know you".
One. Two. Three. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
Okay I've fangirled enough over this over that pile of comments I dumped on you. Enough said xD

OCD~ bwahahahhaha~ OCD~~~~~
The living proof that Luca watches Potatoe and I sob over a certain zombie with sadistic glee. *nods very seriously*
*spams more love onto Theo*

It's Always You~~~
Ahhh, the "Until the End of Time" verse is wonderful /o/ ;w; So so so happy to have contributed! *Goes to make more art to bribe Luca into writing questionable things with*

TO CONCLUDE!
Dearest Luca I wub you lots here's to a great 2015~~~~

Re: How can I not comment here~

The year of the Cake Zombie. XDDD

If not for that wedding-like pic of Lesus & Grisia and your brilliant Ceo prologue, Cake would not exist! Much sadness to be had. All the fun I'd be missing out on. :3;;;

I started Bittersweet in 2011. OTL Nearly gave up somewhere in between (the updates were definitely taking longer and longer), but your comments came just in time for me to become interested in the fic again. :'D Whoot, art slave acquired~~~~ All the questionable scenes. The Theo & Roland one was quite an upgrade. Then again, Sun doesn't have awesome abs, so that's probably why, lol. (Train more, Grisia~~)

15-60. That's such a quicker way of typing the title of the fic. XDD Shhh, the Pope is important, okay. (Must get around to writing about him in OCD too XDD)

Tire-chan and Leotard-kun. XD That sounds like it could be the title of a manga, hahah.

Not enough rolling around in guilty pleasure Adair fic. (The solution is for Adair to show up in all the other fics instead XDDDD Too bad he doesn't have much of a role in many of them... Or he only gets mentioned in passing. XD (Adair, you've turned into the ultimate background character))

How did Long Live the Sun Knight turn out like that. What happened to the crack. T____T (Still, Grisia dying because of kicking Neo's door is... a crack-filled premise lol)

Wrong Choice or Not is indeed like a love letter from Lesus to Grisia. XDDDD

I hope you finish Invincible by the time I graduate uni..........
OTL
OTLing forever
That only gives me, what, 3 years? NOooooo

Ten Suns! \o\ Caaaaaaake. When will we get to the actual cake, lol.

Oh true. The roots of the threesome can be traced to In Want of Warmth. XD

(More Valica pls)

A comment for the fic

[lazie-mie.livejournal.com]

Hi, Lucathia-san. I hope you enjoy your vacation! (Is it too late to say this? )

Really love the last year's fiction, and the last-last year - and....well anyway almost all lsk fanfic. And respects those who gives comments per story. They all awesome.

Well anyway, let's comment on some of them.

The vice captain's tale... who's next?
My favorite one (up till now) are Leaf, Metal and Blaze's vice-captain.
It's fun to see how they taking care of their captain.
I really love to see how (if you ever wrote one) all those vice-captain get their heart shattered when stumbled upon the quirks of their respective captain, and how they adapt from that. Of course Adair had it worst and Tyler was different
(it's only about accepting Roland - and I believe he was the most 'normal' out of all of them) but then, what about the others?
May I say...the lucky one is Vidar?

And A rose for Your Hair is cool too. I love to see angsty (is that a word?) Lesus as he always calm and collected in the canon.

Bittersweet Sweetness is sweet and Insanity is the best. If only there's part three of Insanity...will you?

Cake is awesome while Theo and Roland's story is epic!

Well if anyone can find a different setting and prompt you for continuing the Dishonest Honesty...
Is it bad if you wrote they interchange after they become teachers?
But perhaps the narrator will be the 39th gen then?
It will be like...
"all of a sudden teacher suddenly becomes good (or bad) in teaching me how to be a good Storm / Earth Knight."
Or maybe...
"suddenly Earth and Storm had turned crazy and I don't know how to fix them! Judgment what should I do~"

Or just swap Sun and Metal! That would be the best for them!
And then both their vice-captain will write a resignation letter...

Really looking forward for the Time of Ten Suns! After you finish writing them please write the story for each and everyone of them...which means ten stories in store after this?
I want to know how Blueberry is in his world... and Ecilan's Sun sounds interesting too.
Ecilan will lose his baking partner if he ever return to his own world...
Not sure about the other Suns but isn't it because you've yet to write about them?

Well then that's it.
Wish you a great year and...good luck in the word counts!

Re: A comment for the fic

[lucathia]

I very much enjoyed my vacation! Too bad it's back to work already. (And still so much to catch up on that I haven't found time to sit down and write. Got to get back into the habit.)

Thanks so much for following my stories! I'm really impressed by and thankful to everyone who has commented. Sometimes it's so hard to find words! And it takes a lot of time and effort too. I try to comment as much as I can on stories I read, but it doesn't always happen... I think anon #1 really started a trend of long comments on this post, commenting on so many of the stories. I wasn't expecting that. XD It's really awesome seeing collective overall thoughts like these. :) fhaystshilffe took it even further. XD;

I quite like Cloud's, Leaf's, and Blaze's vice-captains~~. Next up is Stone's vice-captain! :3 Ahh, the VCs getting their heart broken by their captains' true personalities. Haha, that would definitely be very amusing to read or write. Tyler really has it fairly easy. Roland is quite respectable. Vidar is lucky indeed! Lesus is really responsible, so he wouldn't dash Vidar's hopes!

Yes yes, Lesus is quite angsty in A Rose for Your Hair. :3;;;

There most likely won't be a continuation of Insanity, since the first chapter was totally crack, but those two chapters aren't actually the last we've seen of girl!Sun~~~

Glad you like Theo and Roland's story too! :D

Huh, that would be interesting, to have Dishonest Honesty set during some later time! And it would be very interesting if the story were from someone else's POV instead of the two people who get switched. Something to think about! From the students' POV huh. That could actually work.

I've read a fic in Chinese where Sun and Metal switched. It was amazing! So much bickering! They sure didn't play nice like Sun and Judgment. XD;;

LOL! Write a story for each of the Suns? Well, by the end of Ten Suns, we'll get to know most of the Suns fairly well (I hope), so just this story is probably enough~~.

Thanks so much for the comment. <333 Hope you have a great year too, and have fun writing~~. I shall strive hard to write lots!
