Ficbitch: "Dreaming Of Our Love", chapter 1, by CrystalRose3

Right, then, here we have an extra-special ficbitching. For this, my dear friends, is none other than the fanfic from which my Ryou-in-a-coma plotbunny (which I affectionately call The Fricking Angstbunny) was inspired.

Now, I remembered nothing about this fic but the premise and the vague impression that it hadn't been very well-written. So out of curiosity, I went and found it again.

I had completely forgotten just how awful it was.

To be quite fair, the premise is very interesting. It's an AU, where at a certain crucial moment in volume 2, Dee actually did shoot Ryou. Ryou survived but went into a coma for seven years. From then on, FAKE timeline as we know it was all a construction of Ryou's unconscious mind while.

Now, that would be a fascinating premise in the hands of a good author. Seeing the way Ryou deals with reality when he wakes up, and the way the other characters have changed... it would be very cool to read, if a capable author had written it.

CrystalRose3 is... sadly, not so capable.

( I am amazed. This fic is so amazingly to read. It is amazing. Did I use all forms of the word 'amaze' yet? )

It's tempting to go through and do this whole thing, actually. XD
