Hey guys! This is my first time writing a fanfic for Pandora Hearts, but I thought I'd give it a try since I've been reading PH for ages:)
So...first things first. This is a spinoff off "Dear 59-kun" by mangarox14, which focuses on Gokudera from Katekyo Hitman Reborn. I thought I'd try making my own Pandora Hearts version^-^ I've asked permission, and she's kindly allowed me to go on with this fic!
Without further ado, here's chapter one! Remember, PH belongs to the one and only Mochizuki Jun!
Dear Hatter san
Advice from a Wise Man
It was a relatively normal day in the Rainsworth household.
Relatively, that is.
The weather was nice, and Break was eating a sweet while reading his book thoughtfully when Sharon, who was sitting opposite him, giggled.
Ignore it, Break. Ignore it, he thought to himself.
But she kept on giggling, and his instinct told him she wasn't reading a romance novel. Peering up, he noticed her reading a column in the newspaper.
He sighed.
"Ojou-sama, what are you reading this time?"
Sharon stifled another giggle. "Oh, Break, it's nothing you will understand!"
He placed a hand on the newspaper and flipped it around for him to read.
It was an advice column. "Ojou-sama, this is an advice column." He stated rather redundantly.
"Yes, I know. Aren't advice columns charming?" She smiled. "Look, read about this woman who doesn't dare go out of the house because of her giant zit!"
"V-Very charming, m'lady…" Break forced a smile.
"Oh!" Sharon seemed excited. "The best part about such columns is the advice they give! See? Read the response directed to the lady with the terrible zit!"
The white-haired man looked down and almost choked on his sweet.
"Dear woman-with-a-zit,
I suggest you wear a paper bag over your head so as not to attract attention in the streets.
From the awesome-advice-giver-person."
"This is terrible, ojou-sama." He shook his head in mock lament. "Even I could give better advice."
Sharon laughed. "Perhaps. Or-" She closed her mouth, lips pursed into a smile. "Perhaps not. I never thought you were the kind to give advice, let alone run an advice column."
"Oh?" He laughed lightly. "Is that what you think of me, ojou-sama?" Well, I CAN give advice, alright?
"Perhaps." Sharon took the newspaper back. "Unless you could…prove me wrong? But-" She sipped her tea. "Really, Break, maybe you should try giving advice for once."
And that started the ball rolling.
In a day, a new advice column appeared.
"Mad Hatter advice column. Send your questions in by mail~"
But of course, what other way was there to communicate but letters?
Surprisingly, people actually wrote in.
"Mail for you, Xerxes." Reim dumped a small pile of letters on his table before sighing and turning to leave. "Please don't just chuck them into the fire like you did last time; some of them may actually be important letters."
"Helpful as ever, Reim!" As the door fell shut he swiftly sieved through the letters he had received.
Wow, he actually had letters addressed to 'Hatter', his penname. This is fun. He smiled as he opened the first letter, and almost laughed out loud as he read it.
…
Dear Hatter-san,
I'm in love with this girl, but she doesn't like me. At all. And when I mean 'doesn't like'…she throws rocks at me whenever I try to approach her and say hi. What should I do?
From A Very Sad Man
…
Time for his reply. He picked up his pen.
…
Dear Hahaha I want to laugh at you,
Because I'm supposed to give you advice, I won't laugh out loud. Yet. Well, I conclude that either you're very ugly, or you stink, or…you're just lousy. Really. Go…take a bath.
Oh right: when you say hi to her, bring a shield.
Love, Hatter-san~
…
Well, that was weird.
On to the next letter.
…
Dear Hatter-san,
WILL YOU MARRY ME? PLEASE? PRETTY PRETTY PLEASE? I'VE ALREADY CHOSEN MY WEDDING DRESS!
Love, fangirl303
…
He stared at the piece of paper for a while. Wasn't this something worth chucking into the fire?
Nevertheless, he wrote a reply.
…
Dear fangirl,
NO.
From Hatter-san~
…
Tossing that rather creepy letter aside, he picked up his third letter.
…
Dear Hatter-kun,
I'm fat! I wish I could lose some weight but I don't know how! Please help me!
From Blobby
…
Dear Wobbly Blobby,
Ever heard of the term "exercise"? No? Well, it doesn't matter. Go run around the park everyday and maybe you'll see some results.
Just maybe~
Love, Hatter-san.
…
He'd reply one last letter before going to sleep.
…
Dear Hatter-san,
My idol smokes, so should I follow him and smoke too? Maybe I'll become as cool as him!
From GilWannabe
…
Break couldn't help but laugh at that one.
…
Dear Wannabe,
I'm sorry, but your idol isn't cool. He's embarrassing. Anyway, don't smoke. If you smoke too much you'll die, so don't smoke.
Unless you want to die early, of course:)
Love, Hatter-san.
…
Clearing his desk, the white-haired man sighed. He wasn't that bad at giving advice, was he?
A smile played on his lips. Running an advice column was fun; he wouldn't mind continuing to be Hatter-san for a while.
No?
Okay, that was chapter one! Hope it was fine.
PLEASE READ:
Alright, let's get to the point.
I've actually fully planned out the entire story (it amounts to about 30+ chapters!) so yes, this story will have an actual plotline. It will not be Break-centric, but I will definitely put in as much Break as I can. HOWEVER, this all depends on your feedback! I can switch plans easily according to your responses, so tell me if you'd like to see action, romance or pure crack or whatever.
OH RIGHT, tell me what pairings you'd like to see, because I've actually planned some pairings BUT I want to hear what you guys want:D So it all depends on you guys! Please tell me what you want to see, and I'll plan everything out properly so that there won't be some awful mix-up halfway through the fic. Aka PLEASE SEND IN LETTERS! :D
Love you guys very much! See you in the next chapter!
