Fic, and a half-decent length this time

[tiggymalvern]

Back to the gratuitous V/W porn, NC-17 smut and swearing. This one's Renet's fault. We discussed it in email a long time ago now, and agreed on everything except for the minor point that I thought she should write it, and she thought I should. I caved first. Not beta'd by Renet this time, since it's kind of for her.

Mangaverse as ever.

The Loneliness of the Long Distance Traveller

Yes, I stole the title. I'm not the first to steal that one, and since the original author's unlikely to complain, you don't get to either ;-)

Aw, thanks! These guys deserve so much to have something good, something to hang onto among the misery, and without question the best thing they have is each other. How could I not give that to them?

Hey, why are you hiding all your fics away in your journal where people don't get to see them? You should be pimping them all over the Trigun comms! You write with beautiful subtlety and lovely metaphor, all those little scenes that just catch a moment and a feeling. Seven + Zero in particular is wonderful stuff. Spread it around!

No, thank you. For writing, that is. I think what you said is right, about having each other, but for me they are also the worst thing to happen to each other at the same time.

Haha, I meant hiding under a rock as in I never went out to hunt down VxW comms to read the fic. My stories: well they're never quite enough, or quite right for public consumption. You could try starlighter, who is the other (better) half of the writing duet.

They are in some ways, but for all that, I don't believe either of them regretted it, or would have changed anything. Certainly not in the manga.

Believe me, your stories are so much better than the crap some people will grandly publicise XD I followed the link from your Desert Biology to torotoro's fic - I assume from the tuna references, they're the same person?

It's basically how even though some bad things happen you wouldn't want it any other way. Yeah.

Thank you, I'm flattered. Yes, she is. Desert Biology the series is a personal favourite of mine. It's not true to either canon (as I found out recently), but it really shows how tuna and I work well together and apart.
