Hold

Tezuka tries to break through to Echizen. Drama, I-3

Ryouma knelt where he was, staring up at the General. He could feel the deadly thin line of Tezuka-dono's sword against his throat. It didn't move when the General spoke.

I badly wish I had artistic talent of any sort, because I would /love/ to see this scene in visuals. That image of Tezuka holding Ryoma at swordpoint is gorgeous.

I love the train of Ryoma's thoughts, especially in the last couple of paragraphs. The whole scene just seems to click and make so much more sense than the match did in canon (which has always left me feeling vaguely dissatisfied(.

[dumps a very large bucket of warmy-fuzzy feel-good goo over you] The words failed me, even after several minutes of thinking of what I wanted to say in response to this, so you'll just have to make do with the goo. ^__^ I'll go back to continuing my squealing and snickering now.

new reader! You have me HOOKED. I love how the boys of Tenipuri fit right in with your AU and how much more satisfying the action is with swords. :D The characterization of the characters = ♥. Kudos, and looking forward to the next chapter! :D
