Challenge: Chapter Nine

For Regionals, the team pulls out all the stops. Drama, I-3

Masaharu didn't know about the others, but he'd had to catch Yukimura from falling more than once, while spotting for his "light" practices, and had to carry him back inside twice. He'd watched the frustration his captain could keep out of his voice but couldn't keep out of his eyes, and shuddered to think what it must be like.

I have said this over and over again, but darling, the way you handle the Rikkai team dynamic in this piece is damn amazing. You make them real, you make them what I wish Konomi would. Sanada's reaction to Yukimura, in a lots of ways, is hard to watch, because it is so damn painful. He's not dealing well, (then again who is) but Yanagi and Kirihara does the best they can.

The team's reaction, their acceptance of the 'No losing' philosophy makes sense. They do this for their captain, because they can't do anything else. They love, respect, and is damn proud of Yukimura. To have him gone. Damn, I feel for them.

Yagyuu's reaction (anger) is understandable, and in context, his hostility to Sanada makes so much sense. I love this piece. This is so much more than Yagyuu/Niou. So happy.

Kirihara is damn adorable, and the way you handle him is just right. His respect(love?) for the Power3 is so apparent that it is hard to miss. (and you have no idea how fascinated I am of this whole angle of the relationship, if your muses even feel the need to reproduce towards this, please do ^_^).

Oh, and the end of Part 8. "we didn't take off... the wrist weights...!"

I laughed, and laughed, and laughed.

I love this piece because it can be canon. Darling, I absolutely adore you and your Mad!Skillz! LOVE! LOVE! LOVE!

Heeee. ^_^ *snuggles*

A Power3 bunny and a SanaKiri bunny have staked places in line, so far. Intriguing dynamic, really. Particularly the intimacy among the three, which is hospitable to but does not depend on sexuality at all. That'll be fun to write, I think.
