New LJ community for Suzaku/Nunnally stuff

Phoenix and Crane: the Suzaku/Nunnally community - nunnally_suzaku

I figured every other pairing has its own comm, and this pairing seems to have a measurable number of fans (based on the fics etc. I've seen for it and the comments I've had on my own writing). Already posted: a list of fanart/cosplay pictures links and a list of fanfic links.

Hey, I didn't have to say anything, you said exactly what I was thinking. I'm also pretty viscerally bothered by the squick, but that's mostly because I stumbled - completely without warning - on a graphic, full-color Lelouch/Nunnally doujin. Imaged burned into brain, kind of ruined afternoon. Did not want.

When writing the pairing in R1, the Jailbait Wait trope is in order.
I don't mind that at all. In fact, Suzaku being chivalrous for Nunnally's sake is sort of the heart of the pairing IMO. (Also, gasp, a trope I haven't heard of/seen before. I can tell what it is from the name, but a trip to TV tropes may be in order. Thank god my uni hw is done.)

All this kind of points back to my original sort-of-complaint, which is that I'm sometimes a tad afraid of what *fandom* does to certain pairings, even if I don't find the pairing itself bothersome. I actually think adult-Tianzi/Xing ke (if he lives that long, although considering the non-progression of his disease in R2, he just might) is kind of sweet and thought it was sort of hinted at in the show that they were destined for one another, but I don't really look for it in fandom because I expect to find a lot of weird, graphic loli stuff. And hey, it's their business if somebody is into that, but I'd prefer to enjoy the thought of it away from people who do it in a way that bothers me.
