PoT: Mirror Writing: Fence

Fic post from my archive.

Fence

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. Drama With Getting-There Romance, I-4

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.

If it was a pitcher of Akazu, he'd probably have no problems whacking it to death. *amused* And yay for Tezuka helping Momo out~ *loves on the fic* And yay for Momo understanding Karupin's position in regards to Ryouma~!

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.

Karupin is GAWD. Furry cuteness and evil right hook. LOVE!

You know all I can think about is how normal Momo's family life is in comparison to Ryouma's family. And realising that yeah I pretty much would act like Momo too if I found out my crush friend 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*

"Ryouma," he said, indignantly, "your cat just punched me!"

I knew stalking... ahem, checking this page would be its own reward. Neat. Yay MomoRyo!

Cute cute cute~~~! ^_^ I'm sick this morning, and this made me feel better with it's sheer powers of cuteness. Hard not to get cute with fuzzy cats and MomoRyo, though I noticed angst was trying to sneak in there.

I think I'm going to friend your fic journal- I keep telling myself to check it independently, but it's so much easier to have it on one page....

I love Karupin! I think everyone needs to have one. *dissolves into kitty-induced goo* ...Even if the manga did misspell his name.

I know I'm showing my Tezuka fangirlism here, but nice work on the difference in honorifics. It's a subtle difference, but it illustrates the year chance.

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*

First tezuka/Oishi and now this series. You rock. I can't think of anything anyone else hasn't already said, but I liked this story so much I felt the need to comment on it.
