PoT: Mirror Writing: Relay

Fic post from my archive.

Relay

After the third-years graduate, how do those who remain adjust? Drama, I-2

Momo didn't mind that Ryouma was quiet and obnoxious, and Ryouma didn't mind that Momo was loud and obnoxious. They met in the middle, and it all worked out.

[solemn]

God help the Seigaku players under the regime of Echizen-buchou.

Ryouma: [glare] I heard that.

You were meant to, Ochibi.

What bet, precisely, did Fuji and Inui have going, anyway? [curious]

I feel for them both. Paperwork is always a hassle when you just want to get out there and deal with the people rather than the papers. Even if the papers are less likely to strike back, at least the people are more interesting, na?

Echizen-buchou.

You know, logically I know Ryouma -will- be the captain after Momo (he'll definitely bet he next captain, he has the skills), but the thought of Ochibi doing the job put the fear of god in me (or the other regulars). Yes it does.

However, having said that, it is also extremely clear that Ryouma would make an excellect captain. If he lack skills in communication he makes up for it in his ability to see weaknesses and strengths in a person under 5 sec flat, and he'll always make you know if you're doing a good job or not. In his own way.

Anyways, adore this fic, absolutely adored, Ryouma and Momo's interaction was just perfect, but I have to say Inui and Fuji's brief appearance and Ryouma's urge to hide made me laugh -very- hard. Love. I'm -very- interested in this arc.

Fi~nally! *cuddles* You can already see the first glimmers of the MomoRyo - just the way they interact, and how they genuinely ~like~ being around one another.

And I can't help but love the Hiyoshi-Kaidou parallel. It's so appropriate, but you wouldn't think of it, unless you looked closer. Oh, and I assume that we will get to find out, sooner or later, what the bet between Inui and Fuji was all about. ^.^

Looking forward to more! (Here's to hoping Ryoma-buchou doesn't drive his players into the nearest mental asylum) ^_^;

I've been reading your fic for a while, but I don't know that I've commented (I don't believe that I have.) I just wanted to say that I really enjoy your fic, especially the Mirror fics. (Admittedly, this is mostly because it gives me mental images of Yuuta being in control of Fuji and Mizuki and using his powers for evil good.) I'm happy that you're getting to the MomoRyo part, because...well, I wanna see Momo get pissed at Nanjiroh for how he's pushed Ryoma.

Now I have to go back and read all the other Mirror fics. ^^;; But I have a weakness for MomoRyo, so when it showed up on my friends page I had to read it. ^_^ Wonderful....so exactly the way I see them. I <3 you!

love you; love your fic---very relieved that it won't clash with "Friends & Lovers", and will reply more next week when I actually have *time* ('time'? what's that?)

Several thoughts cross my mind.

I've seen the "up the hill" scenario before, and while I understand it, I think I'd like to see the ties truly broken... Seigaku (unlike Rikkai) has few ties between divisions, and I think it would be more "meaningful" to move on completely. We witness Yamato, who is in the senior division, and his presence is like a God descending.

I do like the "full circle" nature of this, and Ryoma's willfulness. I think next year will be a sadder year...

I do pity Momoshiro. I don't think I'd like to be captain of a club with Echizen as the star. Tezuka receives massive recognition because of his skill, and while Momoshiro is GOOD, he's not LEGENDARY.

*loooves* I only get to comment now. Whoa.

I don't really like Ryoma but you've given me a better perspective here. And oh man, Momo-buchou! It's so hot and I totally agree, between him and Kai, it's definitely Momo who will be buchou. :D I think you've painted a great picture on what it would be like. I'm going to enjoy this MomoRyo thing mwahahaha!

Absolutely brilliant, I love this and I'm not even a fan of the pairing. That last bit really made me giggle, great job!
