OH GOD WHAT KIND OF INSANE CROSSOVER AM I PLANNING SHOOT ME NOW BEFORE I DO THIS NO SERIOUSLY

[northwind_gale]

No seriously. Shoot me.

This came to  me after reading Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina for the umpteenth time. Because for some reason, that book never gets old for me, even though I picked it up in sixth grade six years ago. God I am such a nerd.

For some reason, I started putting characters from Eyeshield 21 into the story. I am so sorry...no not really. Haha.

You probably might want a quick summary of the book before I do it though. I'm not entirely sure if it's a popular book, considering it is apparently on my AP Lit Reading List, which makes me assume that it's reserved for college students.

 

Anna Karenina is a long novel that was published in short chapters by Russian novelist Leo Tolstoy in the Russion periodical The Russian Messenger. It consists of two entertwining storylines that are as different as night and day, and reflect two different sides of the moral spectrum.

The first storyline is what gives the story its namesake-the story of Anna Arkadyvena Karenin, who is introduced as a proper, morally sound high-society woman. However, after meeting Count Alexi Kirillovich Vronsky, a suave, handsome miltary man, she soon falls for him, and he for her, soon starting an illict love affair with him, soon leaving her husband Alexei Alexandrovitch Karenin, a high end politician with a prideful and knowledgable nature, and her own son, Sergei Alexeyitch Karenin (affectionately called "Seryozha") . Anna and Vronsky have a daughter, Annie, and are soon isolated from society. This isolation soon causes them to become separate from each other, Vronsky seeking independence in married life, while Anna seeks to have every bit of his attention. Soon, Anna finds herself locked in fits of jealousy, poisoning her love with Vronsky, so much that she begins taking morphine, and eventually commits suicide by throwing herself in the path of a train to exact vengance on Vronsky for daring to not love her anymore. Vronsky soon goes off to war leading a squadron, devastated from her death and not planning to return to Russia alive.

The second storyline follws Konstantin Dmitrievitch Levin, a wealthy, strong, and socially awkward landowner who is seeking the hand of Princess Ekaterina Alexandrovna Shcherbatskaya (affectionately known as "Kitty"), a childhood friend who has grown into a beautiful young woman who's identifying features are her wide, truthful eyes and innocence, in marriage, only to find himself rejected as she has fallen for Vronsky. He soon tries to find himself contented with his hard, laborous lifestyle, and soon finds himself settled enough, content to live a simple life. However, upon seeing Kitty again, he finds himself still head over heels with her. Kitty, who had feelings for Vronsky and soon finds that he is no longer flirting with her and has his sights set on Anna, becomes heartbroken, not only over Vronsky rejecting her, but that she rejected her close friend Levin, and travels abroad, soon finding solace and emerging a stronger, more mature woman. She soon realizes that she does still harbor feelings for him, and they meet up after much dodging around each other, and agree to get married. After discovering married life, Levin soon finds that it is not the holy, sacred thing that he imagined it to be, and yet, he and his wife find solace in each other and find love with each other through each trying circumstance, soon having a young infant son between them, Mitya. Levin is often tortured througout the book with his religious unbelief, and at the end of the story, soon finds that the best thing for him to do is to live the life that he was taught to live, to do what he thinks is right, and that any happiness derived from the life he lives is what he chooses to make of it.

Now, here is the character list I have thought up so far.

Anna Arkadyvena Karenin-Anezaki Mamori
Alexi Kirillovich Vronsky-Hiruma Yoichi
Alexei Alexandrovitch Karenin-Yukimitsu Manabu
Konstantin Dmitrievitch Levin-Shin Seijirou
Princess Ekaterina Alexandrovna Shcherbatskaya ("Kitty")-Kobayakawa Sena
 

...Kill me. Kill me NOW. Before I take this madness any further.
