DDS fic: Mantra

I posted the start of this fic here, and finally got around to finishing it. It didn't turn out the way I thought it would, largely because it felt like I was trying to force a situation to happen and in the end decided to stop trying. I'm not entirely satisfied with it.

Title: Mantra
Fandom: DDS 1 (and some foreshadowing reference to 2)
Spoilers: Takes place near the end of DDS1, and has some heavy references to in-game bosses, gameplay, and the end-game face of the Junkyard. Do not read if you haven't finished at least the first game and don't want to be spoiled.
Summary: Heat is a study in contradictions, but this is only the beginning.

Fic: DDS: Mantra

So I've been sitting on this. For ages. (Okay, since August. That's ages. Hush.) It's a currently-short thing set in DDS1, near the end of the game but before heading up the Karma Temple tower. Heat's perspective, will be Heat/Serph when I finally get off my butt and finish it.

DDS fic, new icon, ramblage

I'm relearning how to write. That might sound stupid, but I realised that before my graduation ceremony, I'd spent a good six months plus without writing a single word of fiction, which has not happened since I was ten and got my first computer and when I was writing that FFXII fic I realised that holy crap I've actually forgotten how I write. The FFXII fic only happened because the language of the game took over my brain and it pretty much wrote itself. In general, I've found that phrases don't come quite so easily any more, I've forgotten where I was going with half of my fics, and I just started work on Storms again and oh god, making Gaara talk is hard. I remember why I stopped writing it now.

I'm also attempting to write DDS and failing. One thing that bugged me as a I went through the first DDS game was this: when did Serph's eyes change? It wasn't until I noticed the emphasis that's always placed on the eyes changing that I realised Serph never had one of those, and yet although his eyes are silvery, they've also always had pupils (which is the other way you can tell when their self has "woken", as it were, since the non-woken characters have no pupils), so did I just miss it? I didn't restart until I'd finished the game (which is quite frankly WEIRD for me) so it took me a while to get around to it. But. When I restarted the game. WHOOPS edit of 'oh yeah, these are spoilers, aren't they' ) I may be making that last bit up. But. It made me write some fic.

Fic is not finished. Fic is, however, kicking my butt and I wanna get on with writing Storms. Therefore fic gets put here and thus can be ignored. :D
