PoT: Third Watch: Sunrise

Fic post from my archive.

Sunrise

The new year starts, unsettling Kirihara a bit until he talks with Jackal. Drama, I-3

The second years he could handle; he had earned what he saw in their faces when they called him Kirihara-buchou. Respect or fear or pride, he had earned it. But the glow in the first years' eyes, the awe in their voices when they whispered to each other about him, that made him twitchy.

I've been really bad about commenting on this, but I really am enjoying this series more than I can say. Your writing continues to improve and I hardly ever see anything that niggles me as Wrong.

The strength of this particular piece is obviously Jackal. His dual-nationality is used wonderfully here, and it comes across as a strength for him. There's not anywhere near as much Jackal fanfic as there should be.

I love your spin on Kirihara throughout all of this. He's growing up lovely. ^_^
