Bands: Tokio Hotel: Fan fiction: Tayla Fyredancer

WAAAAAH!!!! I'm sorry!! I was gone for so long... Did ya miss me??? No? Ah, well XD Okay, today I will be reviewing... *drumroll* Tayla Fyredancer, on Tokio Hotel Fiction. Before I begin, I'm just gonna give you some background on this PARTICULAR fan fiction site. First, Tokio Hotel is a german pop-rock group which consists of twins Bill and Tom Kaulitz (Bill sings, Tom plays guitar), Georg Listing (bass), and Gustav Schafer (drums). These four boys have been wildly successful all over Europe and the rest of the world as well (not so much in the rest of the world as in Europe, but most countries have a fairly large fan-base nonetheless). Now, you may also want some background on the nature of my particular quirk when it comes to this band. As you will know, if you've read my other posts, I mostly read yaoi and shounen-ai (also known as slash, and gay sex and/or romance stories). As you may have guessed, this extends to Tokio Hotel as well. Just for the record, I'm well aware that these four boys are not gay, and that my obsession with them BEING gay is kinda strange. There is a particular genre for Tokio Hotel fics called "twincest." In other words, incest between twins. This is partially because many of their songs speak of forbidden love, and because of certain things the twins have said during interviews (that they can't live without the other, etc.). It's also a product of Bill and Tom being gorgeous, and, despite being identical twins, looking nothing alike (their styles are so different that they don't look the same anymore). Now, back to Tayla Fyredancer. She writes some of the most AMAZING fics I've ever read. Most of her fics are AU (Alternate Universe) so you don't even need to know Tokio Hotel to read her fics (I suggest you look them up, though - they're awesome XD). I have two favorite series' by her. One is a post apocalypse sci-fi, where there are a few safe areas in which humans live, and the rest are dominated by demons. Bill is a college student who has felt like something has been missing his whole life, but he doesn't know what. Bill, in this fic, is supremely gay. When a man shows up who he feels an instant connection with, he immediately assumes that his person must be his soulmate, the one person who was missing from his life. He finds out later (after the wild drunken sex, of course XD) that Tom, his "soulmate" is actually his twin brother, a demon. Instead of Bill recoiling in disgust, he figures "Hey, what the hell; I usually do my own thing anyway. No one can tell me not to - they don't know who Tom is." (Bill's demon side was never quite quashed, even when living among humans.) And so, the wild story of Bill and Tom, Nephilim twins, goes on. My other favorite story by Fyredancer-san is of a slightly different nature. In it, Simone and Gordon Trumper (as previously stated, Simone is the twins' mother. Gordon is their step-father) are traveling minstrels. Gordon plays guitar and Simone paints, and they sell her paintings and Gordon plays with a band. One day, when they were nearing the end of their last caravan route (they had planned to settle down at SOME point, after all), they smell smoke. They start to leave the area, but then they hear a scream. They rush to see what's wrong, and find soldiers killing a man with fox ears. They rush to the man's aide, and he tells them that he has kits, and that his name is Jorg Kaulitz. He asks them to take care of the kits. They then see a woman ushering the kits out the back door of the small cottage - a woman without fox ears. They mark where the kits were going, and hear the woman scream. They wait until the soldiers seem to be gone, then rush after the kits. They take them in, hoping that adopting the kits will be a good move, and the rest, you'll have to read for yourself. Fyredancer's unique ideas blend with stereotypic tropes in a way that makes them seem new and amazingly interesting. Her grammar is always impeccable, and she writes with a certain fluidity that I've rarely seen anywhere else. Her stories show a remarkable amount of creativity. I would recommend her to anyone who asked for a book or story to read.
