It's not that I'm sick of Fakir/Ahiru. I'm sick of the lack of creativity.
This, for me, but I've come to associate the lack of creativity with the pairing so much that it's really killing my love for them. I won't even click on stuff that's tagged with them as a pairing anymore unless it's an artist/writer I like or something on the post catches my eye.
...Also I think a lot of your Chrono Crusade answers will match what my will be when I write it up.
Remmington. Well, I still like him, but he fell from grace with me quite a bit as I realized how manipulative he can be interpreted as being.
Huh...I've never thought of it that way. I'm half-tempted to reread the manga with that interpretation in mind and see if I can pick up signs of it.
I'm just not fond of these clutzy, cutesy, overly-naive characters that never really outgrow that mold. If they can develop out of the mold, I can like them, but Azmaria doesn't really seem to.
In the manga she kiiiinda does, although it's a bit "too little too late" by the time she does. There is one point towards the end though where Chrono and another (male) character are completely falling apart emotionally, and she's the one to kick their asses into gear and get them going on what they need to do. I just wish there'd been enough time in the manga to explore that bit of her character development more.
...Aion or Chrono. WHAT?! They're hotties.
*agrees with this 100% XD*
From what I hear, I might be sell-able on Chrno/Aion, but I'd need some well-written fic to show me how it works out.
I love Aion/Chrono in pretty much any shape or form (as a romantic pairing, as a bromance, as a sort of family unit) but...I think you'd maybe end up not liking it, judging from some of your other likes and dislikes...otherwise I'd totally rec some fic to you.
Umm. I'm not really familiar with the pairings because again, not active in the fandom, but Rosette/Joshua or Fiore/Satella would be gross. And I'm sure someone does.
I've never seen Fiore/Satella, but I've known a few people that have shipped Rosette and Joshua. Generally it's one-sided on Joshua's part because of being...well...loopy. (Although some of the stuff in the manga REALLY doesn't help, I suspect Moriyama has a bit of a kink for incest-y relationships--he never quite goes there, but some of the stuff he slips in is occasionally eyebrow raising. The worst is the main character in his current manga having been in love with his step-mother's kid sister. From what I've heard about it so far they were practically raised together, so...)
I really want to read the manga to get the detailed version of the story, but none of my local shops have it, and I've been too lazy to find it online.
Awful scanlation is...cringe-worthy at times, but. It works. It makes the English Major in me very, very twitchy did these people even pass their English class in high school but it gives you the basic idea and some parts of it are better than others. If you lived in my area I'd just loan you my copy of the official manga, but. XD;; It's probably horribly difficult to find copies of the manga right now, I'd imagine, since ADV Manga is no more and nobody else has picked it up. I'm wishing I'd bought an additional set for myself when I had a chance.
...I'm really crazy for Chrono Crusade, can you tell? >>;
