PoT: Challenge: Earth Over Thunder

Fic post from my archive.

Earth Over Thunder

During Chapter Ten Yanagi deals with Sanada guilting. Drama, I-3

It had been a split-second decision, almost an impulse, really, except for the calculation behind it.

[bounces] Three fics in ONE day! Three! In one! Whee!

Bob: [hands over face] Damn the man who first contrived to combine coffee and booze. Damn him.

auh....

{blinks at title} You've been playing with the taichi again, have you?

{double blinks} yeah, I know, I'm supposed to be in bed already, but what did you expect me to do when you updated *three* fics in *one* day like this? ^___^

continuing on my comment from earlier, it really is quite interesting how this trio works so well together... and yet... if you were to remove even one player, regardless of who, I can't see it working so well anymore.

We've obviously seen this when Yukimura was removed; his illness caused a rift between Renji and Sanada regardless of whether they both wanted it there or not... And even though Yukimura and Sanada look *great* together, and Yukimura and Renji are absolute doll babies, neither has the stabilization to last as a couple, ne?

Still, I love the little tiblit of insight into Kirihara's character. Shall have to use that for the tez-kiri fic. {nodsnodsnods}

God, I totally agree with you. They can function just in two for some time, but not quite so well as they are as a trio. All the balance (and cuteness) come from their relashionship as a trio not as a couple.

You know, as i was blissfully ignoring a perfectly good bedtime curefew and quite happily staying up to re-read "Challenge" last night... I realized that, yes, we've already discused this topic.

But, still, it's so damn *true*!

Even when they *stray*... it's not really 'straying', is it? Renji goes and fools around with Sadaharu, taking care of some old unfinished business... and Sanada get's his jollies wanked... and they both do it with Seiichi's blessing, dang it!
And it all seems so bloody *NATURAL* >.<
I don't get it... there's some little tiny voice trying to tell me it's *wrong* and I'm like, "it is? really? it doesn't *feel* wrong...."
>.< oh, the crisis of faith and belief...

OH! And what's the background interpretation for this title? hmmm? (Yes, I know I'm supposed to be looking that book up, but with my mom springing this trip to San Fran on me next week, well... I'm playing my money safe. Or... at least... I'm *trying* to >.<)

and you know what? I want JHS and HS buchous to meet ^.^ *especially* now...

who do my boys represent? Faith or belief?
>.< That's part of what I'm trying to decide... On the one side of the coin you have faith, on the other, belief, so really they're a similar aspect of the same coin... to have faith is to believe in something regardless of whether or not the "facts" tell you it should be right or wrong or good or bad, ne?


Yukimura screwing the daylights out of Kirihara
Hmmm... well, we've had Sanada x Kirihara and Seiichi x Kirihara... now we just need Renji x Kirihara and Kirihara can be named the all-around uke. ^___^v

And then you have the Doubles Team screwing each other and the Singles Team screwing each other for a nice, happy equation = Rikkaidai.

I went to a good deal of trouble to make sure that Sasaki and Sanada could have a nice, uncomplicated fling

Mouuu... why'd you go and do a thing like that for? I think Yukimura and Sasaki should somehow engage in a little friendly tennis match, and Sanada (and maybe Renji, too?) should just happen to see them.... maybe overhear them, too? {grins happily}

ah, see... that's what I get for not reading all my emails first. ^.^ Hmmm... That's a very appropriate title then... sugoi.

"I am large, there are many contradictions in me." ~Emerson, I believe; one of my favorite all time quotes. ^__^v

{sighs} and he's definitely being contradictory in this Tezuka fic... then again, Tezuka all of a sudden started talking to me, so... hn.

{blinks} well, if it *is* Whitman than I'm screwed, as that was the *one* thing I remember from ENG1102. :(

Oh, please... yaoi fangirls are just the newest evolution of a series of societal cycles of homoerotica-meet-homophobia.

{blinks} Tezuka talking is half the battle? Great. What's the other half? getting him to shut up again? >.<

Emily, I have to say you are my ...well, I forgot the word, so I'll say I am definetly your fan.
I'm so pleased with you Yanagi/Sanada fics...of course I love Sanada with Yukimura, I like Sanada with Kirihara, I also like Yukimura with Akaya, but....there are something speciall to me when I see Sanda and Yanagi together. I simply love them.
Of course I love those guys when they are into a relationship with Yukimura, but...the way they interact even when they are alone, talking like that, or doing something else...I don't know, it's special. I just miss a little some fics in Yanagi point of view, but....girl, believe me, you are great!
