To prove that I don't kill characters for <s>fun</s> <s>profit</s> breakfast

Did you know that Niou, at one point, was going to die in [Strange Relationship]?

But I didn't let him die. Figured it was around Christmas/New Year and angst wasn't appropriate. Besides, it was going to be horrible and I didn't feel like being too horrible.

Heeeeee. 8D

Yes. You told me. In possibly unnecessary detail, on a train somewhere between London and North Wales... XD;;;;

Sometimes I really wonder what the feedback would have been like if I really did write it that way...

...well, there'd have been a whole lot of traumatised wailing...

TBH, my Huge Obvious Bias towards having an ALIVE Niou aside, I think the way you did end it worked better. Though I'm sure it'd still have been good, in a painful sort of way, but... that fic was painful enough, really. It didn't need Niou dead to achieve that. XD;;;

What are you talking about? THERE CAN NEVER BE TOO MUCH ANGST! .....>_> *cough*

Maybe I'll save that death for a different story. 8D

I don't know if you kill them for fun. But you do enjoy a cathartic(tragic) death here and there.

Well, yanno, life's full of tragedy.... ^_^

I know, but life is what we make of it too.

D:

I remember reading it and thinking, "I hope he doesn't kill himself." I braced myself for it, but was relieved nothing happened. <3 Thanks for sparing his life in that fic. XD;;

I liked Strange Relationship's ending. It was just right, I think, what with all the angst liberally sprinkled throughout. It made me hurt enough without Niou being dead. I think... yeah. o.o I think it would kill me deader than The City did if Niou died in Strange Relationship.

Both are so much love, though ♥

You were gonna kill someone off? No, the surprise is that you refrained. Murderer.

Says the person with an icon of someone waving around a deadly weapon (even if said weapon is rather strategically placed)

Well, Sanada would argue that when he wields either sword, it can be lethal...in various ways.

I remember that. He was going to reappear under Yukimura's scalpel, wasn't he?

Yes..... XD
