and their every step is a work of art

/facerub

Oh someone help me I'm thinking of writing a dance AU for KHR sdfgdfhjhgkj Hibari as a dancer

And h's all all graceful violence. The lift of the arm with the fingers pointed downwards, sharp and jerky to the rhythm of drums and screaming string. Pivoting on the balls of the feet; not slow, not smooth, like a killing move as he brings his hands down and outwards, clean movements punctuated by the stomping of feet against wood. The sticks in his hands twirl, swirling black-red ribbons around his body, curling- curling as he moves into the next step. One-two-three-four like a one-man tango.

Hibari dances alone, always. He is unwilling to share the stage with anyone.

The curve of Tsuna's spine as he drops backwards into what is meant to be a back arch, Reborn's foot against the small of his back. And Reborn dances with shoes with leather soles, silent and smooth against the parquet flooring, his hat hiding his eyes as he crosses one leg over the other. He pauses, lifting a leg and straight in it, holding it in the air with his head tilted back, and it's postcard worthy-

Then he pirouettes on his heel and delivers a kick to Tsuna's ribs, a cruel smirk on his lips and that illusion is broken.

Gokudera dances with a certain desperation, with wild eyes and wild hair like a fae. His hands against the railing of the dance studio are pale; white like bone as he throws himself into his movements. Tsuna might say that he dances with his 'dying will', but it is Gokudera who throws his entire being into each movement, and his emotions screams off his form with every strum of the strums; every ringing note from the piano in the corner.

And Yamamoto- Yamamoto is a strange one, they say. He doesn't dance like most dances, not even Hibari who dances like he fights. Yamamoto dances like it is all a game, light-footed like Peter Pan. His feet nhever seems to touch the ground properly, shifting from one step to another, his ankles turning as he balances on the balls of his feet. Hop jump hop jump hop- he's a little stiff, still unused to this, but his movements are always honest and Reborn likes it.

Yamamoto is always clean.

And Mukuro can't be more different. Mukuro dances like he speaks, all slow slithering movements like the Serpent in Eden. Each moves he makes is calculated, sensual; the lift of a leg exposes the pale skin of a thigh, a turn of the head show off the long arch of his neck. His fingers slowly close around a pole, undulating his hips against it and even the lidding of his eyes is part of the dance itself. He makes you want; lust after the persona he puts on stage; waves an illusions that lures you to your doom.

SOMEONE STOP MEEEEEEEE

Seriously, it's a really interesting idea. I'm gonna encourage you to write it just because that extract is enough to keep the reader in suspense. Will the Arcobaleno be stuck in the Baby Ballet class? Will Reborn use his hat to effect in a Gene Kelly-style number? Are the cast of Riverdance extreme enough to keep up with Sasegawa Ryouhei? Tune in next week and find out :P

How about this.

NO! I can't write! Well, not to the standard of the author of the KHR/Handmaid's Tale AU

Don't say that. TRYYYYYYYYYYY IT. Your idea sounds more fun than mine which was actually quite srsbzn and I don't know why it is so. I CAN'T WRITE CRACK OK. JUST LOOK AT MY CROSSOVERS /sobs

Icon love!!

I really think you should write it, but if you don't continue the extract above, I will write the cracktastic one. How's that?

[identity profile] evocates.livejournal.com 2009-01-09 01:49 pm (UTC)(link)
/pets her icon I get like this often. =DDD

dfhdgh eventually I might write scene-snippets or something. If I manage to get a structure out that is fdgdfh. Owel. WRITE THE CRACKTASTIC ONE ANYWAY. /shakes you DO EEEET

[identity profile] fullmoonjane.livejournal.com 2009-01-09 03:42 pm (UTC)(link)
All right, I will. For some reason I started having crazy ideas for it while I went around the supermarket ...

I don't really know KHR, but do you think you could write about Squalo dancing? *___* 'Cause this is just so awesome and I want to see my favorite character. XD;; <3

/obliges

***

Squalo dances like he fights; his arms are haphazard things, flying outwards in short sharp jabs as if he is disembowelling a man, or simply stabbing them through the heart. He stamps on the floor like he is dancing in a rave, throwing his head back and sweeping his hair out like a shimmering silver waterfall, curving around his body and framing his face. He stops at points, his eyes piercing and intense as he looks through you, daring you to take a picture but before you can even press on the shutter, he is moving again.

Thwarting you.

Oh damn, I don't even read KHR and I thought that was great. KEEP GOING, DON'T STOP.

[identity profile] varyola.livejournal.com 2009-01-09 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
"SOMEONE STOP MEEEEEEEE" <-OMG why should we?. You know I would read it and then somehow consider dancing as an essential part of khr.

*snerk* Tsuna and Byakuran could totally have some epic dance off while the white and black spell get served by the guardians in the background.

Yamamoto->Peter Pan = BEST MENTAL IMAGE EVAR.

I love the way you write. :D I remember that the Rikkai fics I read by you a long time ago were what reminded me of my love for Rikkai, haha.

I got a pretty accurate result on that meme (it's rare for memes to be that accurate for me): Reliable Realist.
