Grandfatherly Gifts (Zouken, Sakura) (AU)

[RadiantBeam]

This was a really fun read, Beam! Though I do wonder how you could expand it... it'd certainly be amusing.

Probably write some Sakura/Shirou interaction, some Sakura/Shinji interaction (Hey, just because Zouken considers him a failure doesn't mean Sakura's given up on her big brother!), maybe some lessons from Zouken to Sakura. That kind of thing.

EDIT: @Seika: Well, like I said, can't please 'em all.

*huddled in a corner, chuckling darkly*

How's Shirou in this btw? It's unlikely that he has his self-destructive selflessness in here.

[Seika]

Maybe some lessons from Zouken to Sakura.

Can't get my mind away from the disturbing implications of this. And it's kind of made worse by Zōken being a decent person in this 'fic.

Well, like I said, can't please 'em all.

Nah, it was an honest (rhetorical) question. I can see them liking it, but also feeling that there are reasons to dislike it as regards Sakura, her situation and the people around her, so ...

*goes to a corner, hangs head more* This amuses and bugs me at the same time...
And no one responded to my question...same old same old, again...

...par for the same course, as usual...
I'd like someone to help me with this...because I want to enjoy this...really, really I do...
Isn't it sad, me?

More like "Now, remember this pick-up line, my granddaughter; it's the one your father used while he was pursuing your mother." Stuff like that.

I wonder - will some of the more prominent Sakura fans on the forum (Mike, Altima, lantz[?]) approve?

I must admit, I am a bit curious about this. I think depict a whiff of something coming up ahead.

Smells like....entertainment.

Ladies and gentlemen, prepare the popcorn!

I'm especially interested in Sakura having not given up on Shinji. Now where's Kotonoha...

They have a decent relationship here. Shinji's kind of jealous (such as ratting out her date with Rin to Zouken, since he knew she wanted to avoid his "help") and annoyed by Sakura's insistence on helping him, but it's not something that makes their interaction nasty (most of the time), and he knows deep down Sakura means well.

I feel that I do need to point out my edit at this stage.

[Lycodrake]

You know what? I just give up. No one seems to care to try and help me figure out why this bugs me, and I haven't been responded to.
Three, maybe four, times now. In a row.
Sorry Beamu, I like the idea, but I can't figure out what bugs me about it. I have guesses, but seems like no one cares to try and help me enjoy this.
It isn't even a Sakura/Yuri-Harem, if I understand correctly, so it shouldn't remind me of Shitsurakuen...

*hangs and shakes head* You know what, never mind...

Shinji and Sakura acting like real siblings, despite the fact that they are real siblings!

A novel concept indeed.

@Seika: Ah. I had not noticed. Damn you serious people!

@Lyco: Asking for help does not always mean you'll get it. People are not obligated to drop everything to help because you feel you have a problem, particularly when they already volunteered ideas. Sometimes shit happens, and you either give it up or you work things out for yourself.

I would think you'd have figured this out by now. I like you Lyco, but you can't expect everyone to be at your beck and call.

Indeed! So the yuri incest is technically only yuri in this 'verse, since Sakura is a full blooded Matou here.

...you're stating the obvious, Hymn.
And working things out about this, by myself, is just frustrating. And I don't want to be frustrated with this idea, since I like it.
Something about it bugs me, and I want to know what, is all...

[eddyak]

Something tells me you know nothing about the internet.

When someone doesn't reply, it means they don't know. Not that they're ignoring you.

Well, it appears the hivemind has come up empty. We tried.

Damn it this is depressing....

Hmm. Beamu, has Sakura ever been in an orgy?!

...first time I've heard someone say that. Thought it was true at first, but with past experiences...

Nobody posts in a forum, wasting space and time, to go "LOL I DUNNO"

Yeah, I know that well enough.

I may have an idea why this premise disturbs me a bit, though...just sort of dawned on me...

[Aiden]

This thread...

Beamu.

You are a genius.

[RadiantBeam]

If I answered that question with a "No clue"?

This thread...

Beamu.

You are a genius.

Glad you enjoyed!

[Crimson Flight]

...Zouken being nice and kindly?

What.

You are genius. Genius.
