Why this must be read:
Okay, so this is a little awkward.
Sooner or later, anyone trying to pimp her shiny new small fandom, or to compile a solid set of recs for it, is likely to encounter the problem of the really excellent fic that happens not to be to her own personal taste. If Kuroshitsuji were a regular fandom on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
crack_van, I'd leave the rec for "Devilish Impulses" for another reccer, because it deserves a writeup by a reader who loves it. But it also deserves to be recommended here, and the readers who will also love it deserve to know about it. And since I don't know when Kuroshitsuji will have another turn here, I think it would be a disservice to the community to leave it unmentioned.
"Devilish Impulses" is a novel-length redemption story spinning off from the end of the first anime series, intricately plotted, well written, and chock full of angst, hurt/comfort elements, and overall themes of the redeeming power of love and sacrifice. It has a lush Victorian sensibility that is absolutely appropriate for the era in which Kuroshitsuji is set. It is sensitive about the abuse in Ciel's past and its consequences, and it does thoughtful things about cosmology, good and evil, and Sebastian's role in the universe. Many, many readers have loved it, and if your tastes run to the popular fannish flavors of angst and hurt/comfort and redemption, there's every reason to think that you will love it too.
