** Special: Calendar Project

Is there a reason NOT to love it?

Hmmm… no, so let me list some of the reasons TO love it~

1. Ice and Fire~

Ah, yes. The prideful prince learns to care about something other then himself.
A classic.

Alright, let me launch myself into a rant here-

Sesshomaru, in recent chapters, went to go visit his mother, one thing leads toanother and Rin ends up dead. Again. However, knowing that he cannot save her, Sesshomaru looks like someone just ran over his puppy. That’s right, sad. EMOTIONS, PEOPLE! HE LEANRS TO LOVE! (and what it feels like to lose someone dear and ACTUALLY CARE.)

2. Cute and Cold~

What can I say? Oppisites attract. Their contrasting personalities just seem like peanut butter and jelly. Ice cream and whipped cream. Bannas and fudge. Sweet and smooth and oh-so satisfying.

3. Something for everyone~

The Sess/Rin pairing has something for everyone. Uh… If you … um… like…Loli… or if you just think that grown-up Rin and Sess would be too cute to pass up, it doesn’t matter!

4. Versitallity~

Variety is the spice of life. And no matter if it’s Doujin or FanFics, the Sess/Rin pairing can fit into any category.

5. The wall crumbles~

Sesshomaru is strong willed, that’s for sure. To see someone so insignificant break that will just makes me squeal. It’s quite clear that Sesshomaru is determined not to let himself fall for a human, less he make the same “mistake” his father made. Whelp a half-breed and die saving his woman. We here at Moonlight-Flower believe he’s obviously going to fail. ^.~

Well, those are the major reasons to love, and in my opinoins very good ones.
If you ever find yourself asking “I hate! What should I do?” The answer is simple, “Don’t.”

Moonlight Flower will be holding our first contest!

When Sess made his first appearance, I thought he was cool; I liked his character but expected him to be nothing more than a cold hearted, evil to the core, silver haired, beautiful villian. A bit part that cropped up now and again to the further the plot.

Then he met Rin. Then he actually asked Rin “What happened to your face?” (I nearly fell off my chair at that! Here was a completely self absorbed, evil, power hungry demon, who was asking a child what happened to her face! The fact that he was even aware of something besides himself enough to say something like that floored me!) THEN Rin SMILED at him and I fell completely in love with Sess as soon as I saw his reaction. There is nothing I like better than when someone completely cold and emotionally distant learns how to love.

Of course, the reason I sought out and return to fanfiction is because the core material is just not ENOUGH. The anime just didn’t have enough Sess/Rin in my opinion, and so I went looking for more. I stumbled across the concept that Sess and an adult Rin would work as a couple and it was like a revelation to me. Of COURSE Rin–who was the only one in the anime/manga to touch Sess’s heart–would be suited to be his mate/love interest.

B4 Sess/Rin started dominating my muse’s time and efforts, I had dabbled with writing Kenshin/Kaoru fanfic, but writing Kenshin just really infuriated me even though I love reading about this couple. I think Kenshin is A) still deeply soul wounded because he gave up control of his sword and killing to someone else, someone whom he didn’t trust implicitly and B) emotionally and mentally crippled because when he made his vow not to kill anymore, he completely rejected that part of him that had been the killer, the Battousai.

Sesshoumaru is such a startlingly complex character; but at the same time, so much of him is still mysterious, the fanfic plots and character development possible makes him and Rin a very attractive pairing to write.

I really really really wish I was one of those writers who could write pages of GOOD stuff easily. I have so many plot bunnies hopping around in my head, but so few make it to actual writing and even fewer make it to extended storyline, its sad Sad I hate it when fanfic authors leave stories unfinished…but I’m guilty of the same thing myself. *cries*

So to wander back on subject, I love Sess/Rin. I love watching Rin thaw his cold heart, and him being caught up in caring for Rin more and more despite his opinion of humans and his pride. Very Happy.
