Hmm, Subaru.

a. When he started getting so utterly broken and being such a masochist little hanged man. I'm a sucker for that kind of angst. Also he's especially pretty in late X volumes.
b. Empathy and integrity. I love how he connect with most characters and his genuine kindness. I love the way he portrays the Hanged man values. Yielding, yet not weak. Stop me before I write Kushiel crossover.
c. There's unhealthy levels of self-sacrifice, and then there's Subaru's level of self-sacrifice which go beyond the unhealthy and into the realm of nega self-esteem or something.
d. Easy when I'm depressed :) but not that easy either. He can be a bit difficult to drive a story with
e. You know with everything I wrote with Subaru, I'm not sure I ever did him justice. Passing as a whole would be the closer, but it's not brillant.
f. Same as Seishirou.

Mm, I would reply in more detail, but I agree with basically everything here that you've said. :D You know, I've lost a lot of my enthusiasm over TB/X over the last few years or so, but this reminds me of what a great character Subaru really is.

Also, I'm with you on being a sucker for the kind of angst that Subaru embodies. (even with the urge to mock or go '=_=.' at it every so often. can't be helped, it's a side result of my weird sense of humor.)

How would you write a Kushiel crossover with this? I haven't actually read the series, only gleaned bits of information from here and there, so, um. But it sounds interesting!

Who can? XD

Oh, it's not an actual story idea. More of a thematic similarity. "All that yields is not weak" is one of the leitmotiv of Kushiel's series (what, with the protagonist being a masochist and a submissive). The fact I was using the same words made me smile. Anyway if one wants to do a crossover there's always Yuuko. Subaru could profit from a nice conversation around tea with Phèdre :) I'm not sure if would be a compelling story though XD

Oh, that's cool. ^_^. I'd be interested in seeing what could be written from that, though I'm sure that without knowledge of the Kushiel canon, I'd be slightly clueless on that front.

Speaking of crossovers, on the anime/manga-specific level, I think that some kind of interaction or other portrayal of Subaru and Anthy in a fic together would be pretty awesome, if done well.

Also, happy belated birthday!

Funnily enough, there's a place in my mind where Anthy is BFF with Seishirou and they have tea while discussing of gardening...

Thank you ♥
