Fic post from my archive.

The Quality of Mercy

Yukimura's reaction to his team's behavior during his absence. Drama, I-3

"Too many of those games were sloppy, and too many were aimed at cheap victories that were unworthy of you. We are Rikkai. We are the best." His eyes narrowed. "We don't need to win by default. Ever."

*blushing fit to fry an egg on her face* Yeah, that would be me. #^_^#

*thoughtful* It's true, this story reveals Kirihara and Sanada more directly than it does Yukimura. His action and understanding makes the... frame, perhaps, for their responses to him. Which makes a certain amount of sense, since the relationships between them were the central idea. Glad you liked the essay, too!

*grins* And you can mostly blame Lynn for this line of stories. She keeps bringing up these ideas, and they morph into plot-bunnies and latch onto my ankle. Every time I think some other show has wrested my soul out of Rikkai's clutches, the muses just have to go and prove me wrong...

Hmm...so it's peer pressure that's providing the inspiration? XD
(Don't worry. Once Tenipuri has latched onto your soul, it's Tenipuri's. Forever.)

...I love all of your fics (that Petshop of Horrors one was immensely interesting and original). May I friend you? Just so I can keep up with your torrents of brilliance...

*laughing* Not sure if it's peer pressure, so much as pure exposure.

And please feel free! The personal journal is where all the essays and disconnected fan-thoughts live, if you like those, too. *nips off to friend you*
