So it’s a link to livejournal, mostly because I haven’t been able to find it posted anywhere else.

May I present: my all-time favourite fic ever written. Possibly my all-time favourite anything ever written. The Art and Absolute Pitch of Healing by arttype is emotional and poignant and cute and oh god I still remember everything that came out of KHR fandom within the first year or so of the Future Arc and how much I loved it at all. In how many series does the main character die and at least part of the following arc is about how people dealt with that loss? (Including the main character. Sort of. That scene when they’re in the bunk bed and---)

Healing is everything I loved about that introspective, supporting cast focused period of fan works, and then some. I am also a huge sucker for 5927, whether platonic or romantic. They are normally just so flail-y and over the top and Unnecessary and the complete opposite of low-key, quiet, calm and peaceful interpersonal relations... which makes this fic stand out even more.

"It's hard, sometimes. Remembering things. Letting go of others." Tsuna hasn't seen the fireworks since they finished building the base.

And

“I’ve got you.... I won’t let their efforts be wasted.”

So I mentioned a fic that makes me feel all sorts of things (sadness, and a second hand semi-painful nostalgia, if that makes sense) by ArtType, called the Art and Absolute Pitch of Healing.

It’s one of the first fics I ever read after I got into KHR (possibly... the first one, period?), and it is probably thanks to ArtType that I have such a Tsuna and/or Gokudera bias whoops. (Note: it’s 5927, but in the most beautiful, subtle, why-would-you-do-this-to-me way. Which is to say, for 5927, a lot of the fics are angsty and revolve certain people who didn’t stay alive for certain stupid reasons, but none are of equal to this.)

I really recommend listening to the music as you read through it (the first track is River Flows in You by Yiruma, the second (at the end) is Sunbeams, They Scatter... by the same), it really makes the piece. Especially Sunbeams..., for that semi-painful nostalgia holy wow.

Set during Ten Years Later. Tsuna gives Gokudera a room with a piano in it.
