Fic post from my archive.

Water Over Fire

Immediately after Chapter Ten, Sanada (and, to a lesser extent, Yanagi) explains himself to Yukimura. Drama With Romance, I-4

"You take too much on your own shoulders so often," Renji sighed. "That was exactly what got you into this situation in the first place."

*____* Damn. This is absolutely gorgeous - the way the three of them.. and they just *know*.. and Yukimura is so.. and I want Sanada to just.. and Yanagi.. and.. and..

If more writers could produce works of such quality, I would be floating in the clouds for a very very long time. ^^

'water over fire'

{thinks. tilts head}

water... over fire.... [nods] pretty damn insightfuly. {grins} well, tis not my smex (small pout) but tis damn good regardless {inner muse: of course it is! it's a ravenwood fic we're talking about here!}

these boys are just so pretty together... the dynamics of their relationship... Just the sheer intensity that is Yukimura {sighs} have I told you lately that I love and adore and worship your characterizations? ^.^;; You always did have such a wonderful insight and way with all these boys, but I don't think it's every really shined as well as with Rikkai (and are you *sure* you don't want to write something for D2? {sniffles})

As always, I'm looking forward to anything and everything your muses will turn out!

[pouts] >.< Lj's been acting up something rotten for me... bummer. apparently my first comment was lost, so, suffice to say, I love this---I adore your wonderful characterization of everyone (especially my adored Yukimura-sama!), and although i would have adored some smex, the sheer intensity and emotional draw of the bath (and the cuddle/confession fest out in the living room) was absolutely wonderfully written.

Oh, and I *loved* Renji's "correction. 0%" followed by Sanada's thank you for the update... ^.^v

(are you *sure* you don't have anything up your sleeves for D2???)

I look forward to reading more of whatever your muses will produce!

Not one but two fics tonight. Fantastic!

The three of them balance so beautifully...

This does hit the nail in. Sanada and Yanagi without Yukimura to keep them balanced is out of control. No restraints and no peace. How I love this, especially the way you made it not about any sexual reasons, but rather peace, understanding and acceptance.

Adore you. LOVE! LOVE!

Such sweetness. The Miraculous Three back together again. Love it.

Ah, found it! I read this on your website, and couldn't find it in the Memory-list that originally pointed me to your fic. Hence direct stalking of this LJ, so's I could leave a comment. Because--

--this is one of the most breathtakingly intimate, yet non-smutty fics I've ever read, regardless of fandom. They way you use the water here, to enhance the level of comfort between the three and visualise how they click back together again like a jigsaw puzzle, washing away the hurt and the guilt, renewing their relationship in a way; it's pure beauty. I misted up by the time they went from the shower to the bath, and by the end I needed to dry my eyes.

Odd coincidence? My name is Ruth, but I'm rather sure I don't know you personally. I've read the entirety of this series and love it to death. I don't even bother trying to write Rikkai because you've characterized them perfectly for me. :P ♥
