#0, A Rose at New Year AND Azalynn's Winter Holiday
Posted by Laudre on Jul-22-01 at 03:15 AM
Wow.

Just, wow.

Actually, not just wow.

Loved the sparring sequence -- I'm still snickering at the image of Gryphon-sensei lying flat on his back, an expression of amazement on his face, underwater while koi swim lazily around him.

I'm really, really enjoying watching Corwin and Utena's relationship blossom -- and I'm wondering what you're foreshadowing about how Anthy might affect things by reminding us about the Kei/Gryphon/Skuld triangle (although I gather that the Gryphon/Skuld thing is sporadic at best) and the MegaZone/Yuri/R-Type triangle. (Well, okay, not what, but if.) But then, I tend to think like that.

Watching Corwin react to flirting and, even better, innuendoes, reminds me of myself in similar situations in the past. Very, very amusing.

Kind of a nice breather to have a slice of life here... this and "Azalynn's Winter Holiday" are much quieter than the prior two stories, and "Holiday" answers a lot of questions about what's really going on (although it'd probably make more sense if I'd seen Revolutionary Girl Utena).

Is having Christmas on Cephiro something from the series? Either way, is there an explanation for how they came to have it (in particular, that name for it)? I don't see a world like that having a Christian Church... but then, I haven't seen RGU or MKR, so I don't know what's from what here.

Well done, chaps, well done. (And I'll be waiting for Ms. St. Clair to continue Saionji's adventures.)
