PoT: Swallow the Moon: Zoology and Mythology

Fic post from my archive.

Zoology and Mythology

Some friendly bickering within the Rikkai team. Drama, I-2

They were all getting off the bus, stretching and exchanging dinner plans, when Masaharu heard Yanagi ask Kirihara, softly, "So which are you going to be, Akaya? A tiger cub, or the boy who swallowed a dragon pearl?"

*delighted* Well. An otter. *grinning* Of course Akaya would be an otter, at least to start with. *snugs*

...Very pretty. I love how the mythology is just woven into there (and Yanagi's input).

I completely agree with Yanagi being the turtle, although I probably would never have thought of that before. Not so much the tiger and dragon ones; maybe because that's what fandom already attributes to them? (or did you start that, you brilliant writer you) Yukimura I can see, Sanada I might have to disagree on...

I love Kirihara's idea of who/what he is. That was so him right there.

*flails at you for the Chinese mythology, because I'm patriotic, yo*

And tiger! Eee! It fits, though, what with Sanada's family background. :)
