lol, I wouldn't be surprised if you have written for every 18 pairing bb. (HAHA. How about Ryo18? Hm??? *dies* Speaking of relationships doomed to bodily harm...)
I am very much interested in the 1827, and will probably do a binge on your fics after I get through Friday.
Hmm, I never thought about it that way, but you are completely right. If anything, terror would probably add to the infatuation. This is one reason why I did a "WHAT." the first time I saw an 1827 fic. There are so many things wrong with the pairing I just....Augh. I was thinking of it in terms of Hibari's disinterest/exasperation for weaklings, but I suppose it is an unfair pairing to Tsuna as well. (Unless someone is a certain breed of masochist, you are right, this leaves no room for love).
I think my biggest issue at the beginning of the manga was that the dying will bullets always seemed like such a cop out. Tsuna didn't do anything to earn the power, and then he whined about it the entire time. I can only image Hibari's rage if he found our Tsuna's periodic bouts of "interesting" strength weren't intrinsically his own determination. It would be like finding an Olympic athlete on steroids.
As to Kyoko: haha, I totally forgot this was one of the most hilarious things for me when I entered the fandom. Tsuna is totally the fandom rape victim favorite for BL, yet the entire manga starts with his infatuation with Kyoko. You are right on this point as well: the most I've ever seen is "He got over her" or "she died" or "he woke up one day and realized 'holy shit I'm gay'." It generally just goes downhill from there. I personally think Tsuna and Kyoko are made for each other. They are equally boring and ineffectual at the beginning of the manga .
Aughhhhh! Affectionate, doting boyfriend Hibari makes me want to chew off my own foot and beat the author with it. Perhaps this is why I really don't care for Tsuna fics: he has this effect on any character he is paired with, when it is really only IC for Gokudera (who, coincidentally, was one of the last ones I warmed to. Even then it was only through association with Awesome Yamamoto.)
The tyl arc is screwing with me a bit just because, fundamentally, I never saw Hibari respecting Tsuna. As tyl Hibari regards him on a level similar to Reborn, I had to do some serious mental rehashing. For this reason I can (grudgingly, angrily, and cautiously) accept 1827 for tyl if the author can throw out some damn strong support. Hence, my eagerness to get to your other fics. It is coming, promise!
There is also the simple point that Hibari is such a fascinating, complicated character for me, and Tsuna is just so damn bland.
LOL. I will stop pestering you fic with my character musings. At some point I should just cave and get a lj so I don't have to keep leaving these obnoxious anonymous posts XD
