And see I gt so excited that I pre-empted myself. So let us start again. ^_^
How absolutely wonderfully delightful *claps hands delightedly* - I have to tell you that Beauty and the Beast of the '2nd Generation' Disney films (Bambi, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Fox and Hound are first gen, and Snow White in a class of it's own) (2nd Gen, are Little Mermaid, Mulan, etc) So as I was saying Beauty and the Beast is my Favourite. My absolute favourite. The other coincidence is that I only saw Becky yesterday (rather, earlier this morning on a rock concert on tv) And I've seen a few becky and aiba fics kicking around. I'm a terrible fangirl in that I've never actually seen anything with the both of them in. But you got me hooked with Beauty and the Beast. - Yes I know I'm quite verbose, I do apologise.
But here's the real thing. This is a thing of beauty. No pun intended. The language is just so, that it remains a story told and unfolded tight enough, But not so simple that there isn't any meat to it. A balnce finely tuned. A story told well enough that it held (and even made me teary in some places), nuanced with atmosphere and enough wonder of fairy tales of old. It actually brings to mind THIS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_Queen_(2002_film)) rendering of 'The Snow Queen'. Do see it if you can get a hold of it. It's not a piece of remarkable filmaking, nor did it garner many, if any, awards. But is simpy a tale well told just for the telling. (if any of that makes sense)
But like I said this is a tale well told and I might even read it to my children. They love Aiba, and the idea of Nino as a cantankerous batsman to Aiba will make them squeal with delight and clap their hands too! ^_^
Once again thank you very much for a wonderful story, thank you for giving this to the fundraiser and thank you to the original prompter for coaxing this out of you. This really is a brilliant told story and so well written, and there are too few of those of late.
(uhmm can you tell ... I like this, no I love this ... a lot) ^_^
