FIC x 2: Gankutsuou, Kuroshitsuji fandoms (Yuletide reveal)

Yuletide was so good to me, in multiple ways--I was assigned Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo to write and I was given it as giftfic, too. And I really wanted to write Count/Albert in this fandom and with my recipient's request I was able to write just what I wanted as well, so, I was happy even before I got my own giftfic. Which turned out to be more Gankutsuou of the sort I wanted to read--one of those "subtext made text from beginning to end" pieces--but couldn't quite write myself. So much thanks to [livejournal.com profile] hpstrangelove! And a lovely bonus mood ficlet of the same characters, too, from [livejournal.com profile] mithrigil!

I'd also asked for and volunteered to write Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler) and did end up writing a ficlet for someone's request, plus there was a Sebastian/Ciel piece (Lucid Dreaming) written that exactly met my own desires in characters, style, and delicious perversity.

Stories wut I wrote:

Fandom: Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo
Evermore
Pairing: The Count/Albert
Rating: Soft NC-17
Words: ~3300
Summary: Albert is in love. That's all he knows and all that matters.
A/N: If you know The Count of Monte Cristo in any form, you should find this accessible, as Gankutsuou is the same story, names and all, set in the future.

Fandom: Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler)
Little Sir Hugh
Characters: Madame Red, Ciel, Sebastian, Grell
Rating: PG
Words: ~700
Summary: "She sat him on a golden chair, she gave him sugar sweet/ She lay him on a dressing board and stabbed him like a sheep."
Lyrics to the Steeleye Span cover of the ballad Little Sir Hugh can be found here.
A/N: The idea of this ballad pastiche--a lady in monochrome, threatening harm to a noble young boy--came to me while watching the anime, and when WhiteCat asked for something about Madame Red I sat down and wrote it.

Gah. Gah I say. I just started watching Gankutsuou. *bats off various shiny*

Oh, MAN. I hope you like it! The style felt odd to me at first but I love the mood and story SO MUCH. I've always been a Count of Monte Cristo fan, since I was in grade school and first read it.

I like The Count of Monte-Christo best of Dumas' books, and I love the style of this anime. I just thought that in comparison to HikaGo anime (which I loved and all, but only for the story and characters, not for the animation, which is meh, nothing special), I love the complexity here and how wonderfully they do the characters' motions: walk, run, etc. We'll see how I'll like the modified story :)

Your Gankutsuou fic was fantastic. Could you be convinced to dabble a bit more?

Thank you so much! I've loved The Count of Monte Cristo in all forms for a long time, and I just adore Gankutsuou. If I get inspired for more ideas I know I'd write more, but I'm not sure how much "behind the scenes" stuff I have in me that wants to get out.

Oh, you sweetheart, thank you so much! *hugs you*

Why is it now that I've started watching the anime and reading the manga I see Kuroshitsuji everywhere? Not that I'm complaining, mind you.

Lovely fic. I'd write something a little more coherent in praise of it but it's 3am and my brain is glitching>

[identity profile] amanuensis1.livejournal.com 2009-01-08 10:28 am (UTC)(link)
*laughs* Well, it's better than only seeing Kuroshitsuji after you've become bored with the anime and manga! It's nice to have a current, ongoing fandom to enjoy. ^_^

Thank you so much for the comment--any degree of fondness, no matter how (in)coherent, is loved! *hugs*

Waaaah! What a heartbreaking piece! Just waah. Even the summary kills me dead. Will be reccing. And thank you!

Oh, I'm SO glad you liked it! I really really really want there to be lots of Gankutsuou Count/Albert but I may have to rely on untranslated doujinshi to get my fix. ^_^
