PSoH/PoT: Standalone: Wild

[branchandroot]

Fic post from my archive.

Wild

Pet Shop of Horrors crossover. While visiting the US, some of the tennis boys come across an unusual pet shop. This evolves, as such things do, into some strange situations for a few of them. Drama, I-2, Future PoT anime continuity, middling PSoH manga continuity

If anyplace could hold the interest of his senpai when they were determined to play tourist, he'd figured Chinatown would be it. Something was always happening.

That was ... *neat*.
The forms make sense, too.

He'd considered prodding one of the others into a match in the hotel ballroom,
*laughs* I've *never* considered doing that at a con. Never. I swear. Really. >>;

Oh, that was fun! Heh, D's always a load of fun, and I could just see Ryouma taking his 'team' to Chinatown when he's forced to play guide.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee you did it you did it you did it you did it!

[dances]

So. Sanada-Fuji and Tachibana-Yukimura for doubles, and Atobe, Echizen, and Tezuka for singles? That's a team to give opposing coaches nightmares.

And I think D would like Oishi.

So what's Atobe?

Now I have the mental image of Tezuka telling Ryoma that no, swans are not for hunting.

Perhaps I'm being dense, which is possible, since it's after one am, but what did this line mean? "At least his mother would probably be happy."

I loved the fic in general, by the way. It's also very like Fuji to notice that Something is going on. I can never tell, in series, if Fuji is supposed to be just perceptive and cheerfully manipulative, or if Fuji is really psychic. Of course, then one has to decide the dividing line between psychic and extremely perceptive.

I loved it, I loved it, I loved it...
I'd just finished petshop of horrors for the first time when I read this...so I was still in the weird mind frame...
It was wonderful...sounds so believable...
"So, eventually, I get to bite his throat out, right?" he asked.
More would be excellent
*begs desperately* (though no expectations of anything)
Must go back and reabsorb animal tezuka, fuji & ryoma.

That. Was. FANTASTIC! You blended both story universes perfectly and believably and everyone just WORKED. Loved the way everyone interacted, especially Oishi and D bonding over fish. *grins. And the concept of changing from territory to human territory was great. Certainly explains the proprietal attitude the various Captains have sometimes.

And Tezuka-tiger washing Ryoma-tiger's ears - BEST MENTAL IMAGE!!!

Loved it so much. THANK you for writing it!

[love]

Hehe. :) Now, I'm sure there's a sequel or two, right? You won't just let us hang like this, right? :)

From a range that consists of land to one that consists of people. Oh. My. God. I think my brain just melted into piles of gibbering mush. Mush, I tell you. I've only ever seen one other PoT/PSoH crossover. I had given up on hoping that someone would ever write another one. And you do the characters such justice. I'm really happy that I saw this. Oishi was so cute and so very Oishi, Fuji-as-a-bird continuing to berate Tezuka was fabulous, and 'Ryoma and Fuji playing tag' ties 'Tezuka grooming Ryoma' as possibly the cutest image ever.

And the innuendo was just clever and perfect. It was in keeping with each of the characters, and subtly dispersed. It was a bit like a trainwreck. Because I really don't think I want to know what Kikumaru, Oshitari, and Gakuto are going to get up to and I rather pity Kaidoh but now my mind can't help but go in that direction. And the idea of Fuji and D being on the same continent, no, in the same hemisphere is so scary. I've always though that Fuji was very much like Count D, minus that special edge of viciousness that takes decades and beyond-normal abilities to hone. And I'm gushing because I'm so pleased. *sparkles*

I do have a tiny question. This line here: My family learned to take the mother's way, when we started to take humans as mates. I wasn't entirely sure which interpretation of 'mother' you were aiming for. Was the reader supposed to decide on their own? I freely admit to my laziness while sick.

You know, a story about Tezuka's adaption to human areas, his home life(and how do you tell a person you want to marry that you're a tiger?!?), or Tezuka's early time in Seigaku, would be very, very, interesting. *dangles carrot*

Emily-san, that was... *melts* I love your fics so, so very much!

I was about to ask about the "mother's way" bit, too, actually. I'm glad I read the above comment first, so you won't have to answer same question twice.

Being a complete Pet Shop of Horrors uninitiate, I'll probably have a million questions later, when I get my Internet connection back. Hopefully, you won't mind it too much?

I'm in love. With your fic AND the PSoH ideas I mean. I think I'll march down to the local Barnes & Noble tomorrow and get whatever volumes they have. That will be the fourth fandom Emily-onee-sama has successfully hooked me on.

Behold the power of Emily-san's fanfics. >D

The brain MELTS! METLS! The concept is truly mindboggling.

Oishi enthusiasim at the fish! Tezuka's tension and anxiety, Ryouma's snark *laughs* The are perfect (though for some reason Fuji seem slightly off). And in the words of Ryouma Yukimura as a Dragon makes -perfect- sense. (Though now I have the image of Yukimura decked out in FUll Chinese Court Regalia, face painted white and lips blood red, like a doll).

One small question, does Tezuka's (and Ryouma's) tiger form resemble those in the manga. The issues where the tiger in the painting comes to life.

LOVE!

Whoa. That was a swift stroke of genius, to be able to meld both fandoms so seamlessly. Really enjoyable to read and very in character. Ryoma as a tiger ^^

I'm a lurker who's been reading your stories for awhile. I really enjoyed this fic and you're AS series.

I was actually wondering if you could make your parts of the AS/PoT stories available. I can't find them anywhere on your livejournals or website and the links on all the other author's sites don't work.

Thanks and I hope you'll keep writing.
