PoT: Standalone: Essential

Fic post from my archive.

Essential

Sanada practices, and considers connections between sword and tennis. Drama, I-2

Sometimes intense focus shut out the rest of the world; sometimes it only brought the world closer.

If one considers Echizen's relative dedication to tennis, and the way he pursues it.... it's really nice the way Sanada considers that if he ever when far enough to use live steel outside of practice he'd see Echizen in something. But the ending when he rearranges all the facts making themselves known around Yukimura's smile... That's just kinda pretty. From both points of view, platonic or otherwise.

Thank you. *nods* I was hoping to keep this consistent with either possibility, yeah.

and both ways it indicates a certain dedication and deep relationship. Preferably friendship, or any type of relationship where one is considered a Precious Person by the other.

That was very poetic and beautiful.

Hi, don't mind me while I turn into a puddle right here on the floor. Heh.

Genichirou, you great big adorable fluff bunny.

(And of course Echizen requires live steel. It's Echizen.)

*grins* Isn't he, though? *snuggles the dour-looking muse*

Gorgeous. Simply gorgeous. The writing, the insight on each character. Your wonderful Sanada. The Kirihara bit sounded specially perfect. I´m glad I put aside my dislike of Sanada/Yukimura to read this. you are worth it.

*pleased* Thank you! *wry* This one took a lot longer to write than the length suggests; it's good to know it was worth it.

*makes face* And I'm right with you on a lot of the SanaYuki out there, actually.
