What's up, people (by Maximum the Hormone)?  I just got done with dinner.  Yay.  10 hour shifts suck.  But now I get to post for all you lovely people out there, yay.

Ø  Red Cliff [which is itself an adaptation of a segment from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms which I actually own and is a kind of fascinating read; I rec that book on its own]

Like a feather on the wind, Zhuge Liang, or Kongming (the Sleeping Dragon) dances into danger and dances out again.  It’s a fascinating character study that also has some action.  The dialogue is excellent (well…of course it is, all of my favorites are like that…), and it served as a good extension when I was searching for something to fill in the gap when I wanted more than just watching the film for the nth time.  I still remembered this fic years later, and knew I had to go looking for it to find it again.  (It also has nothing to do with the fic, but I was rather pleased and amused to note that the author’s icon on both of their Red Cliff fics is Sherlock Holmes in the 22^nd Century.  Good show, that.  Even if I don’t get the joke there.)
(Also, adding their fics will double the number of things in my zhuge liang tag...kinda sad when 3 of my icons are Red Cliff, really...)
