FANDOM SHIP/MY THOUGHTS: I've already given my opinion on 1827 and D18; I'd like to state that I don't like a lot of the fic for these pairings, but it's largely because they ignore how slowly developing relationships would go for Hibari. Oh, and Mukuro. Ummm, the only real way I can back this pairing (in spite of how mind-bogglingly hot it is) is rivals-in-hate, sexual tension bleeding into fighting kind of thing. The problem that I have is that I can't really picture the mechanics of it - Mukuro is more likely to use sex to control people than he is to be consumed by lust for someone, so he'd probably only try if he thought it'd give him power over Hibari, and like Hibari'd never even think of sex, he'd just keep hitting him. Hibari really, really likes fighting, but I don't really think he's the kind of person who lets sex bleed into it. So basically my problem with this pairing is that I really basically can't imagine it happening outside of like... outright Mukuro rapes Hibari, bam!! Oh, and uh... god Hibari/Ryohei. Can I just go with "no way"?

ON HIBARI AND SHIPPING: It's not that I think Hibari's asexual, because I don't; I just don't think it's at the top of his list of things that are important. The very idea of shipping Hibari, like you said, is kind of silly, because Hibari doesn't want to crowd together, or mill around like herbivores, and in fact he finds the very idea of it repulsive. I don't think that shipping Hibari is impossible, but I do think that the events leading up to this ship have to be drawn out and probably they should happen without Hibari even noticing that they're happening. TYL!Hibari is at least moderately shippable; present!Hibari... isn't really. As far as sex goes... I feel like it's the kind of thing he'd be really torn about, because Hibari doesn't like not being in control of things - and that doesn't just mean other people, he doesn't like not being in control of himself, either - so I feel like letting go and having sex would be really hard for him. When he's a little older he might become an initiator, depending on the other person, but like... when it comes to relationships, I feel like Hibari has to be written as being pursued, not pursuing, because pursuing someone else to -be with them-, not, you know... kill them... is kind of counter to Hibari's basic nature.
