Never even mind that, if he did attempt to play something on Yukimura, Sanada, who had no sense of humor Masaharu could detect, would skin him. Possibly for the purpose of making Yukimura a new pair of house slippers. Sanada was that kind of bloody minded, iron bastard, and anyone with eyes could see that he had a mother-hen complex over Yukimura. It went strangely with his hot temper, not to mention Yukimura's greater skill, but Masaharu figured that was probably half the point--Yukimura could harness Sanada's temper.

that right there is exactly, EXACTLY the kind of sanayuki dynamic i would LOVE to see in a fic. gods, i LOVE it when i find ppl who can express something i've been itching to express. not that i've touched your rikkai troika fic, seeing as it's sanakiri and all kinds of strangeness (by my admittedly narrow definition.)
