maldoror_chantI think I wrote one decent angst fics in each of the three fandoms I've written in, and I decided to post them the same week for...reasons. For me, it was interesting to compare the styles of each, for starters.
Flayed Horses (Gundam Wing, HeeroxWufei)
Wufei found Heero a few months after the war had ended and spent over a year helping him find that end of the war for himself. It was...a lot of work. There were still no go zones and things they could not do together as a couple, but a museum should be safe enough-
Wufei found Heero a few months after the war had ended.
The war had ended. Ended. Ended.
never ends never ends never ends never ends never ends never ends
Missing (Naruto, GaaraxLee)
'Missing in Action' they tell Gaara.
'Concrete proof of his death', 'absolutely certain', 'name added to the cenotaph', 'don't cling to false hope' and other irrelevant things are added. The first word is all that matters.
If Lee is dead, Gaara would surely feel it to the bottom of his soul because Lee is the better part of that soul. He's not dead, he's missing.
Gaara is going to find him.
Cold Dish (One Piece, Gen)
Take one blood-soaked tragedy
Baste in unfair odds and pepper with deceit
Break it apart and flambé the pieces
Pour into a crockpot and bring to a slow boil
Crack two shipmates and add one at a time
Blend well and leave to stew for a year
Makes one portion
Serve cold

I had a difficult week so bucketsfull of angst are not exactly what I'm looking for right now, and I think I will keep the One Piece and Gundam Wing fics for later (Guernica, if I remember right?)
