of ducks and princesses

[xparrot]

Regarding Princess Tutu: yes, whatever you've heard of this series is true; it's fairy tale crack, a cracked fairy tale that will tiptoe in on little ducky feet and steal your heart. (And does anyone have a full listing of the soundtrack music? I recognized most of the pieces but there were a few I don't know, and want, badly, from the penultimate episode especially.)

And I wrote fic. Which I know I shouldn't have--I liked the ending, very much, really it was just how it should have been. But. Well. Yes. So. Fic:

Series: Princess Tutu
Warnings: Spoilers for the anime's finale, + gruesome quantities of sap with my newest het OTP. (Which is something of a spoiler in itself, I think; at least it would have been for me.)

♥!! What timing! I finally get around to friending you (I really did mean to do it earlier, but I haven't been online much the past couple weeks) just in time for you to post Tutu fic. Yay! The world needs more Fakir/Ahiru goodness.

Glad you enjoyed it! ^_^ Yah, we just watched Tutu for the first time, and I was OTPing on them by episode 8 (and thought I was crazy at first. I should really know shoujo better than that)...I was so squeefully happy at the ending. ^^ (...btw, where does your impossibly adorable icon image come from???)

*running off to friend you now, since I hadn't gotten around to it yet myself ^^;*

Ha! By, like, episode two, I was shouting, "Forget the prince! Fakir's WAY more interesting!!" at the screen. I love the entire second half of the series to pieces. (Not that I didn't like the first half, just...well, you know.)

My icon is from a doujinshi, actually. That was a very happy find.

Oh lord, I want that doujinshi, if the rest of it's one tenth as cute as that pic...!

Yeah, I liked the series from the start, and was fascinated by Fakir's obvious big issues from the beginning, but I fell in love with how everything developed...the 2nd half was all sorts of sheer awesome. I still want some music geek to write up a list of all the composers and pieces. My knowledge of the classical isn't l33t enough....

...I don't have that one, but I do have one? ^_^ You can probably find a handful if you look in the aniparo shelves! The ones I saw didn't even look horribly scarring, just cute. (Does Manraku have an aniparo shelf or not? I can't remember if I ever found one...)

Also, this fic is love. ♥ It needs to be said more. With hearts. ♥ It's prefect. Winter magic. And he cries, because the two of them are in love like that. ♥

Well, that picture was my favorite part of it, but it was cute, yes. If you'd like, I could scan the cover, so you can keep your eye out for it. (Um, once I find it, I mean...My stuff is not real organized right now.)

I'm pretty sure that someone has written out a list of all the music used; I saw somebody on the animeondvd.com forums that was working on it. I'll have to see if I can dig up the list.
