PoT: Mirror Writing: Fence

branchandrootFic post from my archive.
A typical day in the life of Ryouma and Momo, with a few extra revelations on Momo's part. Karupin gets in on the action.
That furball was the only living creature he had ever seen Ryouma look at with open tenderness, and Momo had a good idea of who would lose if it came to a choice between the cat and himself.

Karupin is my four-legged fuzzy GOD.
Yesh.
Bob: ...Em, you're drunk, aren't you?
Maybe, a little.
Bob: That would explain why you went all sniffly over Momo, then.
But--he's so ADORABLE in his RIGHTEOUS ball-whacking FURY.
Bob: Em. Put the keyboard down, and back away slowly.

And, damn it, Emily, you ARE making me like Momo. *wibbles grudgingly*

crushfriend have been brought up the way Ryouma has been.But the other thing, the other thing being that yes, Tezuka is the substitute father-figure, but you know, in many ways he is -doing- what Nanjiroh had been doing up till Ryouma entered Seigaku. He's teaching Ryouma to deal, to evolve, to have a higher target than Nanjiroh. Except more straight-forward.
And then I remember your last piece, and how Ryouma have figured out that the old man had sent to him to Seigaku for the sole purpose of bettering Ryouma. And, and.... and I don't know what I'm trying to say except that, that.... I don't know.
Love this piece. *wanders off trying to think straight*

Date: 2004-08-20 08:12 pm (UTC)Tezuka is such a formative part of Ryoma's life. I lik ehow you showed how Tezuka had a "ripple effect" on Ryoma - starting with tennis, and how it carried onto something more. It's nice to see it highlighted so well - I love Momoshiro as the narrator.
No arguments on this one - aren't you glad? *hearts*

Date: 2004-08-20 09:09 pm (UTC)*nods* Ryouma has taken on so much of what Tezuka is, in the manga especially. It's a dynamic I like to play with. Though it is easier to illustrate from a different viewpoint--of the two, Momo and Ryouma, Momo is definitely my most cooperative narrator. *dotes on Momo*
Today I am glad, since I'm a bit lightheaded and wouldn't be able to do justice to a good discussion! ^_-

Date: 2004-08-21 02:11 pm (UTC)Momo doesn't talk to me. Surprisingly, my narrators are Tezuka and Oishi... and I don't really like Oishi that much. But it's easier sometimes to show the characters you LOVE from a perspective outside, no? I like TesuRyo, but I really think there's something paternal in it, almost.
Ahhh.... *pouts* And I was all ready to fight!!! *shows kitty fangs&

Date: 2004-08-21 02:26 pm (UTC)Loved the reaction from Momo, too, and the interaction between him and Tezuka. (Okay, so my Tezuka fangirlism is showing too... XD) It's lovely, though. So much with the warm fuzzies. ^__^
