hcrecsPossibly my favorite original character fic of all time is Evensong by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
traprose- Every time I read it I am immediately sucked in as though it were my first reading. I relive the soft, subtle introduction to the almost mysterious albeit spectacular characters. I am instantly drawn into the delicious prose, the tone, the word choice, the imagery, and the magical beauty of the event. It's a world I feel compelled to learn more about, but I especially wish to learn more about the characters.
I'm a character-story kinda gal, and the two main characters here are to die for. I fall in love with the narrator, secretly knowing his name and his role upon my re-readings but trying to block it out so I can enjoy it fresh again. But with his narration I am attached to him. He's someone I can trust, feel attached to, fall in love with. Traprose makes me care about him, so much that I suddenly care about his role in the event and those he cares about. He has that religious, untouchable feel to him. Yet I can't help but want to see him expressing his affections for his star pupil in more than the normal ways. And their interaction is to die for. I love the dialogue. The words. The gentleness and the separation but closeness... it's so very lovely. As are the sneezes.
Oh yes, the sneezes. A whole variety. Sneezes that make me really feel for him. I want to be on his side so that the event isn't spoiled... yet I long for him to sneeze in order to find out what the main character's reaction to it is. And when he does... ohhh that reaction! I love their interaction- both in public and in private. Such tenderness. Such affection. It's as though I completely understand their culture and ways just through my understanding and trust of the narrator. I don't want to give away the ending for anyone who's actually still reading this instead of going straight to the fic, but by the end I do nothing but sigh and feel all warm and fuzzy.
Reading this story is like an event in and of itself. One I adore. Even when I'm just going to serotica to see if there's anything new, I usually go over to it and give it another read.

Date: 2004-11-17 09:26 am (UTC)heehee! Had fun with that one *G* I thought maybe it needed words there in the top right-hand side but nothing I tried worked for me. So hopefully it's okay as-is (though if you have suggestions...) But, yay! Thank you! *giggle* I thought it worked well for the H/C theme and I decided I definitely needed one of my icons to be sneezing-related :-)
Link's such a cutie. I want a sick elf to cuddle!! Even if he's just faking... I'm good at being in denial...

Date: 2004-11-17 09:59 am (UTC)This is why I bought the Game guide for the ROTK game, and why I'm still only halfway through the game so far, because I map and plan the strategy for each level now before I'm ready to play... well, that and the fact that I'm not looking forward to playing the Shelob level.*shudders*

Date: 2004-11-17 09:49 am (UTC)I really need to get my hands on Ocarina. What's it like? I tried playing the very first Nintendo Legend of Zelda game on my Game Boy Advance, and i sucked ever so miserably. I probably will never finish even half of that game. How difficult is Ocarina? I'm willing to struggle through to see Adult Link (especially if he sneezes in the game), but I'm not sure it's worth all the bashing of my head against the wall in frustration if I can't get far in it.

Date: 2004-11-17 10:09 am (UTC)Yikes! You meant the Four Swords one? I have that for my SP and it's SO hard! Ocarina isn't too hard, but I had to cheat and head to an online guide to see what I had to do next. After a hint I'd go on like nothing happened. But I love adult Link and the sneezing just totally made everything worthwhile, I think. (Better described above.) Plus that game put many of my other favorites to shame since I played it strait through about 5 times. ^_^

Date: 2004-11-17 10:15 am (UTC)Glad to know Ocarina isn't that bad, and ooooh those sneezes sound yummy so that pretty much seals it. I *must* find a version I can play without having to buy a Nintendo 64. Thanks for the recommendation!
