PoT: Mirror Writing: Pace

Pace

Tezuka convinces Atobe to take things a little slower. Porn With Insights, I-4

Tezuka was currently engaged in poaching the fish with ginger shoots. This otherwise blameless activity was holding all of Keigo's attention, because the look in Tezuka's eyes at one or two points during the afternoon indicated to him that his fishing partner had, to put it euphemistically, plans for the evening.

Pace, as in 'recquiescat in pace' perhaps?

Miaow. I needed some mansmut. [wanders off, greatly pleased]

[branchandroot]

Ten points to you. *grins* Always glad to be of service.

lovely, hot and smooth.

i just cannot be coherent now.

[branchandroot]

Well, that's a pretty good compliment in and of itself. *happy grin*

Very, very, very nice. I've never been too much into AtoTezu, but the way you write it is...what's the word I want? Complete. You show all sides of the relationship, from the hot and sweaty, to the slow and comforting. Not many can make a relationship feel that natural, including myself, so you're in rare company. ^_^

Thank you for sharing such good work.

[branchandroot]

Thank *you* for such wonderful encouragement. It's good to know I'm doing some justice to two very complex characters.

[wanderingscribe.livejournal.com]

Ah, heck. I'm just being honest, really. You're the one with the skill. =^_^= <---aw, you made me blush.

I've been following this arc, and I have to say the way you write really brings out the kind of relationship these two would have. So much unspoken, but understood...I love your writing.

[branchandroot]

Thank you very much!

courtship *snicker*

.....

hot.

Really hot.

And Atobe's slow realisation of what Tezuka has been doing all this time.

Courtship.

So curteous, so romantic, so old-fashioned. So Tezuka.

If this is Tezuka making a slow, planned move, I'd love to see him laying a siege.

Re: courtship *snicker*

[branchandroot]

*laughs* Ah, but it's Atobe's turn next.

It's always seemed to me that Tezuka has a much better grasp of strategy than Atobe. *grins*

[mildlyinsane.livejournal.com]

oh. *descends into fangirling* is beautiful. and non-angsty. just a sure, certain tezuka and a bright beautiful atobe...

i would offer you my first born, except that's already been promised to other people. ditto for second, third and fourth born. and fifth is me having someone's baby, and i really want those genes in my future bloodline... ah! can i be the president of your fanclub instead? *beams hopefully*

[branchandroot]

*blushing extensively* Thank you; that was everything I hoped to make it.

*shyly* Um, sure, if you want... #^_^#

[mildlyinsane.livejournal.com]

*cheers happily* YAY! *beams and glomps*

[simply-kim.livejournal.com]

Very good AtoTezu smut if I may say so. ^^ tezuka was being abit too talkative isnt he? But this is in bed we're talking about.^^ I love it, really, really love it! ^^ (skips off to the blue yonder happily in hunt for more TezuAto smuttage)

[branchandroot]

Good to hear you liked it!

*nods* Tezuka is a bit freer of expression with Atobe by this point in the arc; in a lot of ways that's what "Backstage" was for. To loosen them both up enough to have a decent friendship and some hot sex. ^_^

[simply-kim.livejournal.com]

*eyes twinkling at the mention of "hot sex"* Maybe you should write more of this stuff... I'm becoming addicted *re-reads your work* *.*

"Porn with Insights"

LMAO!!! isn't that, like, an oxymoron or something? {giggling even before she starts reading this bit}

[branchandroot]

*smirks*

Seriously, though, I always have a hard time writing honest-to-goodness pwp; if I don't have a plot, I at least need character development to hang the smut on. Let me see, what were some of my other designations...

Porn With Plot
Plot With Porn
Porn With Angst
Romance Plus Porn
Pretty Darn Plotless

You get the idea. I'm especially fond of the last one. Very versatile.

[lady-readwolf.livejournal.com]

Plot? What Plot?

Ah, but those *are* fun sounding... especially the last two... ^.^
