Kairi looked over at Sora, stifling a laugh against the back of her hand. He never was a graceful sleeper.
She'd only been gone for five minutes, but he was out, in the dark sand, by the time she returned.
Shafts of moonlight gleaned over her skin, reflecting white in the cloudless dusk. A cliché angel offering light in the dark. And the only one to appreciate a snowflake upon an Island was already gone.
Kairi didn't mind. She settled beside him, touching her palm to his heartbeat. The white stars glittered in her eyes, promising to leave them be.

*Sigh* What a time I had with this drabble. It was difficult to make the words work with me. Obviously Kairi represents white light, but how to express that without being metaphorically cliché?

  What a beautiful image!! The characters that you describe are very insightful and interesting. ^^--  I moved to a new account! Please  ~Onyx-Twilight if you want to follow my work. I'd appreciate it if you did.  My sister *Freya03 is taking commissions: [link]  I think it's perfect. (Of course.) ^^
The fact that you said 'cliche' makes it 'un-cliche'. I love the imagery, here. Snow. Angle. White. All pure and very Kairi-esque. It's hard to depict 'love' and 'good' without sounding cliche. Because every possibly simile and metaphor under the sun have been utilized to death. -- "She has willingly pricked her finger, only to see the truth beneath the rose." Riku-of-Darkness  Thank you! I can get such flak about it from some people, but I absolutely love SoKai. I find them adorable (though I suppose that makes it hard for me to write them in "non-cute" scenarios  ). That and I wanted to write Sora asleep in the sand with a moonlit Kairi laughing at him.  -- Wandering the rain soaked nights. Searching for a storm to wash away these blood-stained tears "If you are an Unknown, you must have a variable in your name." [Kat] "The road to hell is paved with adverbs" [Stephen King]  Yeii! I knew what I was up against, so I figured: "why hide it?"Thank you though.  It's nice knowing I managed to get it right.-- Wandering the rain soaked nights. Searching for a storm to wash away these blood-stained tears "If you are an Unknown, you must have a variable in your name." [Kat] "The road to hell is paved with adverbs" [Stephen King]  Very true. I concur 100%  This couple is probably my most favorite, and yet the most challenging to write about. I can write a Roxas x Naminé fic right off the top of my head, but with Sora and Kairi...I actually have to think ofwhat to write. Strange... The moonlit Kairi bit btw, classic.  I applaud you on that snippet.  -- I moved to a new account! Please ~Onyx-Twilight if you want to follow my work. I'd appreciate it if you did. My sister *Freya03 is taking commissions: [link] I don't think it's entirely strange. Don't forget: Sora and Kairi do, in some way, represent the stereotyped prince and princess of the Disney movies. The cute, forever in love, "happily-ever-after" type, which naturally, makes it harder to take them from that context. Roxas and Namine have that Nobody angst thing working for them in the background.
Thank you.-- Wandering the rain soaked nights. Searching for a storm to wash away these blood-stained tears "If you are an Unknown, you must have a variable in your name." [Kat] "The road to hell is paved with adverbs" [Stephen King] Yeah, you hit the nail on the head.
Might have been just the AMVs that I've come across recently to change my perspective...And speaking of Roxas and Namine... -- I moved to a new account! Please ~Onyx-Twilight if you want to follow my work. I'd appreciate it if you did. My sister *Freya03 is taking commissions: [link] |
