PoT: Challenge: Water

[branchandroot]

Fic post from my archive.

Water

Takes place during Chapter Seven. Sanada finds an opponent who can help him improve his game, and, perhaps, offer some much needed distraction from his captain's illness. Yanagi notes, in this, the possible start of a dangerous trend. Drama With Romance and Porn I-4

Genichirou never could decide whether he preferred Seiichi's manner, who invariably drew whatever Genichirou was thinking out of him, or Renji's, who rarely asked since he could usually be assumed to know already.

[squeaks] Okay, so I read backwards, but still! Knowing that Sanada was prepared to break that promise of no-violence! [squeaks]

[curls up in your lap] Ah, life, she is good.

saa... you know... just the sheer brilliance of the dynamics between those three boys and how you portray them really make me question why I should bother with writing when I can enjoy so much time just reading.... ^____^

Actually, this trio really does intrigue me. I know there are a lot of people who like to pair Sanada with Atobe or Renji with Kirihara, but I look at how you write this boys and wonder, *why*... I mean, they just seem to fit so perfectly! And this is perhaps the only grouping that *can* fit so seamlessly into a romantic partnership of more than two... Like, they were designed to work that way.

I'm constantly in awe... and enjoying re-reading all of "Challenge" again... (and yes, I *am* also giving an eye and ear to the promised Tezuka-Kirihara fic. The notes are looking somewhat promising.)

Oh GODS!!!! OH GODS!!! SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

You wrote me MORE SMUT! You wrote Sanada being taken against a wall!!! OMFG!!!! I LVOE YOU! I LOVE YOU!!!

And this LINE traded pieces of themselves back and forth like good books, reading each other's histories and fantasies and footnotes,. In one sentence you summed up their relationship. The imagery! OMFG!!! I LOVE! I LOVE!

And ditto there's an attraction in someone as strong as you asking for something like this. Kouji sounds like a very -interesting- young man *leeeeeer*

And Renji, oh sweet Renji, so poised, so beautiful, and so vulnerable, but damn it's HOT!!! I'm so happy at the moment. You wrote Sanada being taken against a WALL!!! OMFG!!! *melts*

*pile on the coffee and the truffles*

FINALLY!!! I really can't believe you finally wrote the Sanada/Yanagi fic.
Oh, girl, this piece was so perfect. I confess I was dying during all the fic...I was totally afraid that after the sex scene with Sasaki, you wouldn't write Sanada and Yanagi having sex. I was with my heart in my mouth all the time, and I'm so happy you really wrote.
Of course I would prefer to read them having sex in a chapter just to himself, but the way you did was almost as perfect as that.

Now, the only think is missing is the Yanagi/Kirihara fic (I'd like to see in Yanagi point of view...actually, I'd like to see a Sanada/Yukimura/Yanagi fic in Yanagi POV too).

Oooh, I'm sooo happy I don't have any words to make you understand how pleased I am for having read this fic ^_^
