Fanart
by stickypenguin
It always has to be the
first couple of lines in the fic that's got to convince me to take it
seriously. Then, the only way that I would ever be interested on continuing
would be if reading the rest would be like following a clear train of thought.
Not too wordy, not too redundant, not too minimal. But creative enough to make
an overused plot seem refreshingly new. I also appreciate a little porn with
plot.
Marsh of Sleep didn't
disappoint in this Soul Eater fic.
The plot goes like this: In
between classes, extracurricular activities, and hunting rouge witches and
soon-to-be-Asuras, our two main leads, Soul and Maka, have also got to deal
with growing up. And by growing up, I mean hormones. And by hormones, I mean
having an itch get scratched – if you know what I mean.
Simply put, they try a friends-with-benefits
kind of relationship to grind some off some stress - all the while trying not
to emotionally break under this new arrangement.
Trust me on this. It's
better than it sounds.
It’s the author’s writing-style
that really sells this fic so well. Marsh of Sleep is one of the few fanfic
writers I’ve encountered who’s got a way with words, and I regularly reread
his/her (not sure which, never mentioned what gender) stories just to get a
lovely dose of narrative. Mostly witty, sometimes funny, all the while
meaningful in its execution. Always a worthwhile read.

So enjoy :)
And kudos to stickypenguin from
deviantart for the fanart. It was what I found most appropriate for the story, especially
in regards to the ending.
