An Enthusiastic Destroyer - written March 2013 for kandayuu (tumblr ask box-sized)


"Beansprout," Kanda called.

"Mmmmm…" vibrated blissfully from lips moving up his throat.

"Beansprout," he repeated reluctantly as fingers slid under his shirt.

"Mmmmmm!" was the enthusiastic response from the nape of his neck.

"Allen!" he tried, emphatic.

"Kanda?"

He did his best to fix Walker with a stern look. "Left hand. On my pants. Don't."

"What? B-but after all this time!"

"No, you'll WRECK them AGAIN, damn Destroyer of Clothes!"

"Oh. Right."

Rolling his eyes, Kanda swapped left and right.

"There."


A/N: OK so here's the deal. I'm posting three chapters of short (less than 1000 words each), unconnected Yullen/AreKan drabbles right away, but I'd like to request something of all of you before I come up with more…

If there are any of my medium-to-long (let's go with 7000+ words) fics of mine that you like enough, I would so appreciate some constructive criticism* on those works that I'll write YOU a yullen/arekan drabble on a topic of YOUR choosing and post it here in this collection. (**I won't do non-con, shota, or other tropes I am uncomfortable with! I'm also keeping this story collection T-rated.) By the way, I'll gladly accept crits for No.6 fics as well, if you don't mind getting an Allen/Kanda/Allen fic back. (I will consider other pairings or otherwise doing more for those who go above and beyond.)

In the past I have been so fortunate as to receive so many kind, encouraging reviews, and I hope to continue to receive those (!), but I'd really like to improve further, and so truly need advice. Even if it turns out it's not quite what I'm looking for, you will be giving me perspective on reader expectations at the very least!

*About that concrit: Almost anything is good, though I'd prefer if people had a basic idea of my style and personal preferences (as outlined on my profile) before they start. Most importantly; I express character thought/emotions indirectly through their actions and subtly through their words; also I write romance but not BL, so no seme/uke roles. Those are aspects of my writing style I am not likely to want to change.

What I'd *especially* be thrilled about are comments that address any patterns or inconsistencies you notice in plotting, character development, theme building, etc.. For example, does a character's pattern of behaviours not match the direction he or she is developing in? Is there a plothole or continuity error I don't appear to be aware of?

If that's too much, then whatever else you can manage would be great. Yet if you seem to get my writing style &/or what I'm going for as I write and can address those things, I will probably be more inclined to do extra writing, alternate pairings or otherwise do more for you, because you'll have exceeded my expectations for the average reviewer.
