This is a Devil May Cry doujinshi/fancomic featuring a non-canon coupling of Vergil x OC (Inakichi). The title is "In Acoustic" because typically when a song is played in this style it has a more intimate, heartfelt or close feel. This doujin is a recreation of the central scene in which Vergil becomes a little closer with his (mega!Sue) love interest. The fanfiction in which this scene is included in was written a few years ago... when I first hit highschool. When I was 13 (and good god one hell of a romantic) I pursued creating things so passionately and confidently that as the years started piling up I wanted to try and get that same amount of creation-love back again. It's only now that I've managed to gather up just a little bit more passion, finally gaining some permanent attachment to stories I've made and all that other crap (for example EXILE: The Fall of Kanto is the only fanfiction idea I have had in the timeframe of this doujin's origin to now that isn't a one-shot that lasts half a page). When I look back on those days I used to just get a thought and then ram straight into it for about a week and just get bored of it, yet still thinking I was the best damn thing to happen since sliced bread and loving every single thing that came out of me without a hint of shame. It saddens me to think about how one day I got cut down and wanted to kill myself, shelving up stories and thinking that everything I did was a piece of crap. Well, moreso than I do now. Looking back at my 13 year old self and her preposterous pieces of fiction she wrote, Echo (the doujin you're about to read) was by far my favourite. I know it's stupid (who crosses over Shinobi and Devil May Cry? SERIOUSLY.), and the idea is cheesy and completely overused (Vergil's a cold soul who melts in love. Yeah. Went there.) I still kinda like this fanfiction for some dumb reason or another. I even remember when I was 13, I thought about this fic every time I had the chance to, dreaming up new scenes and dialogues, giggling to myself whenever I thought of something funny. I know even now that I had never really grown that attached to something I've made in a long time (only other piece I can think of is an original series I've had with me since I was 10), since usually I just fall into a shipping phase, crap out a halfassed fic in a month and then it's all over and done with. Echo, I wrote over the period of about two years and a half, and that's a freaking achievement on my end. Usually I never worked on something that long and that hard. So anyway, I know my character Inakichi is just as likable as Bella Swan and the plotline is about as complicated as digging a ditch, but this is up here because I'm feeling a little bit courageous. There isn't much I'm able to do, let alone convey, but I hope this insignificant doujinshi can illustrate the feelings between two broken hearted individuals who found just a little bit of warmth within oneanother. I'm sorry I ranted so long. I don't really know how to properly explain myself clearly. |
