Loosely based on EKmisao’s simple yet endearing Days In Venice because I loved it so much and, with things I love, I just can’t help but draw it. It’s easy to write Reborn as this ultra-smooth, superhuman, ultimate seme (LOL) which is what fandom mostly does because that is all that canon shows, but this writer didn’t stop at that. Even though the adult Reborn has always had a special spot in my fangirl heart for exactly the above reasons, now that I’ve seen his potential to be more than that by way of EK’s writing… I think I now prefer an insecure Reborn so much more.
My favourite part of the whole story is this:
“Luce, if you please, Renato.”
“Why ‘Renato’, though?” he finally mustered enough nerve to ask.
“Because to me you are reborn,” she answered.
I think I’m going to faint and die now and not because of my own doing.
No amount of thank you for liking and thank you for all this will suffice.
There you are XDD I was worried this thing would remain one-sided for a long time! No need to thank me; the beautiful feelings I come away with every time I read your story have been enough.
I just reread this fic like… 4 years later and I’m still in love with this Reborn/Luce (Luce/Reborn? XD) dynamic.
