Dec. 28th, 2004 08:37 pmMirage of Blaze fic that should shouldn't should absolutely shouldn't could exist, as long as I'm not the one saddled with writing them:
1. The Gravitation crossover
As I keep reminding people, Eiri and Tatsuha's real last name is Uesugi - sort of in the same sense that Takeda Yuiko is a Takeda, possibly. Also, their family lives in a temple. Also, series-related spoilers.
Anyhow you can cross Gravitation over with anythingas long as you resign yourself to abandoning all semblance of serious endeavour and self-respect because it's a weirdness-tolerant series.
2. The Ozaki Minami backstory
Currently a chapter or so into book 9. Overwhelming impression that Kuwabara got up one morning, ate half a crate of Pocky and said to herself, "You know what would be cool to write? A story about Naoe working as a salariman at Glico. ...Okay, so it's not what the series is about, but what are they going to do, stop buying it? <3" ......I digress. If you take Naoe from his own POV you get the impression of a dude angsting in the metaphorical corner non-stop from age 6 to 26, but Okumura paints an image of high-school!Naoe that reminds me rather nigglingly of pre-psycho Nanjou Kouji. Probably kinder on a surface level, but with the same profound lack of attachment. Always looking a little through his surroundings, looking for something, someone... Of course what I really mean is that I can sort of picture a teenage Tachibana Yoshiaki with the slightly long hair and all, getting picked up at the school gates by a sexy older woman in a red sports car. Even if it turns out to be his sister in the family Ferrari (shades of Fuji Shuusuke OMG).
3. TheGravitation crossover part II J-rock RPS
My theory is that Naoe is actually Gackt. I mean, they're about the same age, give or take a century, and they use the same perfume. I think I've got a case.
4. The genderswitch
Albeit
corialis has actually written this. When I had this conversation the conclusion was that if Kagetora had ended up in a female body for whatever perverse reason, Naoe would have lost it either much sooner or rather later (due to, I sincerely hope, the sharing of hotel rooms not being an issue. Not that that would stop it from looking like enjo kousai to the receptionist. But then it probably looks like enjo kousai to the receptionist in canon anyway).
Actually I think book 7 should go like this:
Ujiteru: So in conclusion, you can just sit there, watch that body die and contemplate how it's all your fault. Saburou's with the Hojo now, and we'll find him a properly strong and beautiful body to suit his soul.
Naoe: .....Can it have boobs? Like really perky ones?
Ujiteru: ..........
Kagetora (from nearest reflective surface): PEOPLE. I AM, LIKE, STILL HERE.
