Fic post from my archive.

The Fairest

The new year begins and Kirihara suffers a bit of culture clash. Drama, I-3

"What are you doing here?" Akaya exclaimed, wide eyed.

Suzuoki blew a stream of smoke at him. "The coaches drew straws to see who would stay with each division this year. I got the short one."

*is desperately torn between desperate love for this piece, and your Kirihara, and the sad thought of alltrees never writing Rikkai again*

...but just really wanted to say, I love the balance here, how you've managed to shift the Troika and Kirihara dynamics to same-but-not-same.

...your Kirihara stories always manage to make me ridiculously happy.

*pleased* Thank you! This was really what I started Third Watch with, and what the whole thing was aimed for. It's great to know it worked.

And I'm not abandoning Rikkai! I don't think. Just closing this particular arc off.

Can we look forward to seing more of Haru-chan, then? *grins*

I'm kind of hoping so, but he's so flighty sometimes it's hard to tell.
