cynchickThe new fic is finally posted, nearly 3 months later than I anticipated. Lol. Ive been working on it (in sekrit) for a while and I really like where its going. This one has a different tone, more somber I guess, but I think its going to turn out to be one of my better works. I hope you all enjoy it. : )

ItaSaku is my most favourite pairing and so rarely done well. This will be a masterpiece. Because he doesn't die in the end, like in the most wonderful and right yet somewhat tragic Perception. I know that already :) Well, at least I hope I know that :D

Date: 2009-03-29 05:21 am (UTC)I was just browsing through my favourite moments in Perception, and it hit me. To me, in all Naruto fandom there has not been a better ItaSaku fic. None. Because of the way you see and describe both of them, your particular interpretations. But that fic is so interspersed with sadness, that I could not bring myself to even look at the later chapters; my heart was clenching remembering Itachi's death.
Having another ItaSaku from you with the promise of eventual redemption - with the chance of him living and being with her - it's so piercing just to have this possibility. The fic I expect to go back to after you finish it and reread it without dread. So yes, I am just ridiculously happy at this prospect.
So please - if you do intend to kill him, please please please tell me now. I will still read and absolutely love it, I am sure - but I don't want to go through the awful emotional roller coaster. In Perception, his death was the only ending that felt right. I started to feel that about mid-way. I just don't want to go through that again...

But this is a very different Itachi in Vespertine. This is the REAL Itachi, who was not a villain. Circumstances can be very different for them in this story. :)
