The Sun and The Moon, KafeixAnju

Welcome to The Sun and The Moon, a club for fans of the pairing between Anju and Kafei in the game of Majora's Mask.

I noticed there seems to be quite a few fans of this pairing around, and some interesting discussion, so I decided to create this club. Feel free to discuss, share graphics, art, fics, whatever!!

Can I join? I like Kafei and Anju's relationship, and I've read some good fics for those two.

Sure you can join, Angel Zelda! And by all means, if you have good fics to share, I'd love to see them! ^^ I haven't read much fanfics for them, unfortunately.

Pssst, I wanna join.

I've read some Anju/Kafei fics, but unfortunately there's been only two that are better than "ok". I wish people would write more about them and maybe some AU's or their past or something. Most of them are about their feelings during the moon crisis.

Well, I know a Kafei/Anju fic that I think is good: The Wedding Mask. It hasn't been updated in forever, but I think it's worth a shot.

Sign me up for this club!

I just love the relationship between these two. I mean, it starts out as the most tragic thing ever, with Kafei being turned into a kid and a giant moon coming to crush them all before his wedding to Anju, but things all turn out okay in the end, which makes that heartbreak all the better

*adds new members* Hurrah! I knew this would be popular.

Ah, thank you for the link, Angel Zelda! I should definitely read that!!!

Y'know, I do write fanfics. If any of you have a plot bunny hopping around for a Anju/Kafei fic, prod it my way and we'll see what I can do. : D

I agree, the tragedy and heartache of Kafei and Anju's relationship is what makes it so beautiful and appealing. They're doomed, but their love for each other remains unwavering and strong. No matter what happens, they're going to face it together. And they know each other so well- if you read Kafei's diary he remarks on how Anju probably hasn't finished making her mask yet, clearly understanding and knowing her character.

Out of curiousity, what do you guys think about the symbolizm of their masks? The sun for Kafei and the moon for Anju. Do you think there's anything there?

Yeah, Kafei and Anju are a bittersweet couple that get their happiness at the end of it all, and that's what makes it appealing to a lot of people. But if you want a really tragic ending to Kafei/Anju, don't give Anju the Pendant of Memories. Help Kafei get the Sun's Mask back, but when he goes to the Stock Pot Inn, Anju won't be there.

I haven't done much thinking about the masks, but I'm assuming they're supposed to symbolize Yin and Yang.

That would be horribly sad!!! I've never done that. . . but I've gone to Romani Ranch and seen Anju sitting on the bed upset. T_T It's just horribly tragic to see how distraught she is.

That's a good thought. . . I remember in some mythology from China that the Sun was represented by a man and the moon by a woman. . . so it fits in with that.

That's actually what I thought, too, when I first read the question. I remember from one of my religion courses that Yin is everything warm and masculine while Yang is cold and feminine. But that's not all they represent, of course.

Hey, Alantie. Since you're so set up to do a fic *cough*, why don't you make a fic about Kafei and Anju in Hyrule? You know, Anju the cucco lady and...hm, Kafei could be a distant relative to the Sheikah tribe with those red eyes of his... And that old lady from the Potion shop could be Anju's grandmother, Malon could be Anju's childhood friend etc., etc.

I've never done that either, but I saw a video on Youtube showing what happens if you don't give Anju the Pendant of Memories. Kafei walks into the employees-only room, Anju isn't there, and he looks at her wedding dress. If you talk to him, he says:

So sad.

That's funny, because I was always told that Yin was feminine and Yang was masculine.

Uhh...I can be wrong. Was Yin white and Yang black or the other way round? It's been quite awhile since I had that course...

Actually, Yin was black and Yang was white. And they had a dot of the opposing color in each of the two. I think the dots are supposed to represent that two opposites need to balance each other out in order to work in harmony with each other.

. . . *feels the wheels start to turn* Hmmmmm. . . that could be interesting. . . should I do it in Hyrule adult timeline or child timeline?

Adult, of course! The moon isn't enough, they need a flood to add some angst and drama to their lives. ...Er, right.

I don't really care about the timeline, whichever suits the story, I think. It could be nice to have from the adult timelime, though, since there are many holes between OoT and WW, unlike in the child timeline. Adult timeline has lots of options~~
