Yep. Finally. I finished something and it’s now up. It’s an AU Laviyuu story with sci-fi elements and the concept of soulmates. Everyone has a soulmate clock in this world, and it counts down to the second you meet them. The story revolves around Kanda, his soulmate timer, and the people in his life.
A word of warning: the fic gets fairly dark toward the end. It has graphic violence, lots of cusswords (it’s Kanda), some pretty steamy sex, and it’s in 2nd person (i.e. “you do this”, where “you” is Kanda’s POV). So please don’t read this at work or something.
not sure if i should leave my comment here or on 1 of the links but here it goes (i suck at review but at least i can tell you my feelings after reading it right?)
well, for a laviyuu shipper who is not that fond of alma (i don’t hate him but …well) i feel the ending was quite… dissatisfying? i think my problem with it is that your introduction of alma is quite strong and the fact that he was introduced later in the story and it ended right after that leave a very big impression with the readers, and at the same time, made Lavi’s character seems… weaker (man, why do i so bad at words) even though the laviyuu part of the story is very lovely. readers don’t have time to recover from the shock of kanda meeting his soulmate and the resolution between him and lavi is not enough (for me, at least) to convince people that kanda chosed lavi out of his feelings (instead of the situation). the fact alma is the bad guy kinda adds to that. i mean, soulmate aside, between a good guy you’re in a relationship with for 2 years and you did in fact in love with him and a guy who is a murderer, the result is kinda… obvious. with the implication that under different circumstances kanda would chose alma for sure, lavi & kanda’s relationship suddenly become not convincing enough and of course as someone who like laviyuu it left me pretty disappointed 😦 i read some of your other fics and get the impression that your view towards lavi/kanda/alma can be summed up in “
had he met you first, i wouldn’t have stood a chance” so maybe you made the ending this way on purpose. if so, then you have succeeded but… laviyuu… 😦
