The long awaited last match of Nationals. Drama, I-4

Seiichi's smile changed, undiluted pleasure added to the satisfaction. It was the last round of Nationals, and they were ready.

And here I was thinking whether I was the only fanfic reader/writer who bounces in her seat whenever a tennis match is covered in fanfictions... In many fanfics, somewhere along the romance and angst/fluff the actual tennis part often goes missing, and despite being a non-sports person, it made the fanfictions less TeniPuri-authentic to me. Like, such events could have taken place in any other fandom, not specifically in TeniPuri. That's another reason why I like your fanfictions. You cover the tennis matches with enough details to excite, but not enough to lose non-athletes completely.

I couldn't agree more. I'm a tennis fan and I simply LOVE when Emily writes the matches...and mix it so well with characters lives.
