So a new chapter of my all time favorite Kanji and Naoto fic was posted. I’ve rambled about it a million times but here’s the fic just in case you haven’t read it (YOU SHOULD!)
Anyhow, here we go! Cut because of spoilers.
You know that moment when.
You’re on tumblr.
And you see someone you following posting things.
And it’s not just any ordinary person you stalk.
It’s the person you stalk because they’re writing an awesome fic.
So you see them posting and you think.
“Oh hey, you beautiful person. What’s that you’re posting?”
“Yes that kitten is cute.”
“Look at it, hahahaha, how cute.”
“Cool you’re reblogging the T.V. series I watch.”
“That’s an awesome toy robot you’ve got there.”
“Hey check it out it’s that game series I like.”
“And oh is that-”
“WHERE’S THE NEXT CHAPTER OMG WHAT R U DOING?!”
“STOP POSTING RANDOM SHIT POST TEH CHAPTERZ!”
“I’VE BEEN WAITING SINCE FOREVER AND JUST-”
“YOU REMEMBER HOW YOU LEFT THINGS RIGHT?!”
“RIGHT?!”
“He was embracing her at the train station OMG HOW ROMANTIC and THE KANJI AND NAOTO IS SO CLOSE and just-”
“Oops I’ve started to ramble about Shortest Distance.”
“Ha ha ha my bad I meant to keep this as a general fic realization, not about THE ULTIMATE KANJI AND NAOTO FIC!”
“SERIOUSLY WHERE IS MY CHAPTER I’M GOING TO SHOW UP AT YOUR HOOOOOUSE!”
“… o.k. I’m sorry, I’m not going to show up at your house.”
“Look I just said some things.”
“We’ve both said some things.”
“You made my OTP shine.”
“I’ve been sitting on your porch waiting with wonderful cake as a gift for your greatness.”
“O.K. I’m not on your porch I just-”
“… sigh.”
Anyway, what was this post about?
I sometimes wonder if I make people feel like this with my headcanons but there’s no way, they’re not the holy bible of Kanji and Naoto.
My favorite Kanji and Naoto fic got an update yesterday. Instead of just sending the author a review, I’ll just post it on my tumblr since a) she reads my tumblr and b) people seemed to like it when I posted the fic recommendation, so I might as well talk about it here.
Very, very small spoilers to the fic behind the cut.
All right, I usually don’t do fic recommendations, but seriously: if you’re a Kanji/Naoto fan, you NEED to be reading this fic. This writer is amazing, and it always makes me incredibly flustered when she likes one of my headcanons, because… those are just headcanons, whereas she’s writing this masterpiece of Kanji/Naoto fanfiction!
Here’s the link to the fic: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5337624/1/The-Shortest-Distance-from-A-to-B
Here’s why you should read it:
The gist of the fic is the entire game, only in Kanji’s POV, as he deals with his feelings for Naoto. It starts right at the beginning of meeting him, and goes through everything that happens in the game. Not just his social link, or hers, but it includes the entire team – which is great. Souji, Yosuke, Chie, Yukiko, Rise, Teddie, hell even Dojima, Nanako, and even some of Souji’s social links are important in this story. It includes all of their feelings and portrays them beautifully. This fic is so much bigger than Kanji and Naoto, it includes important events, like Nanako getting thrown into the T.V., them finding out who the killer is, and just… everything. It addresses things that I honestly wish the game and anime would’ve touched on.
The rest below the cut are spoilers to the fic and the game, not enough to ruin it, but if you don’t want to know then don’t read.
