Healing
Fandom: Viewfinder
Characters: Feilong Liu & Mikhail Arbatov
Warnings: Alpha version, which means, it's not proofread ^^U
Disclaimer: The Viewfinder series belong to Ms. Yamane. All the rights and credits are hers and I'm just having fun imagining what ifs related to the story.

You think so? 'coz from the things some friends have told me, they pretty much didn't like it. I guess they were expecting Fei to be all berserk with Mika and the latter acting like a fool or something...I've been thinking about this story too much today.

I guess I just wanted to bond before making them act differently *blush*

Sorry for ranting here...

I'm so truly hhapy you've liked it *.*

I think this depends much on how some people gave their translation of the words Mikhail told Asami over the phone. Me too I was disappointed when I read that Mikhail seems to blame on Fei Long and put him in a false/bad light talking to Asami but than I heard from someone else (and also the first beta-translated summary has been corrected in that point compared to how it was before) that Mikhail only tells that Fei Long isn't a rational person (well sorry here I don't know how express it in english). So I'm waiting to get some better scan of the chapter (serena_daragon photos aren't clear enough for the purpose) and ask to a friend of mine who knows Japanese to make me clear at least that part ^_-
If Yamane sensei haven't changed her mind going on with the chapter, it seemed Mikhail was the man to be paired with Fei Long but then it would be strange she dedicated a whole side story to Yoh if he doesn't play an important role in the future chapters....

I know. I'm waiting for the "official" translation. All in all, it still doesn't sound to me like Fei and Mika are all that irrational.

My story, for instance and as I told you, was a moment for me to bring them together. It'd be completely irrational for me, that Fei looks at Mika and suddenly loves him, kicks him, loves him again. Sorry, but no. I understand how some people see them, but at the same time, what I wanted to portray was Mika's weakness and Fei's gratitude. WHat I wrote isn't a love story. It's Mika going through a hard time and Fei protecting him because he feels he owes him. That's why I mention Fei's honour, because though Fei is not the sweetest guy with his enemies, he isn't, in my opinion, an irrational guy. Maybe I'm all wrong about this.

About Yoh...I wish she showed more about him and his current situation.

You're not wrong about Fei Long and how could not be like this with all the problems he got in the past. But about Mikhail it's not that we have dreamed all those references about his interest towards Fei Long. Some of his sentences were indisputable (and I heard more than one translator about those words he told speaking about Fei) and don't leave any doubt about the fact that he likes Fei Long and he makes his move about the deed much more because it's something involving Fei Long. This is why I'm so confused by the events of the last 2 chapters and I'm even thinking that Ayano Yamane can have changed her mind and wants to give Yoh the chance to become Fei Long's lover. Let's wait and see what will happen...
