Long Exposure: One

Upon meeting again in the hospital, after Seigaku plays Rikkai, Tachibana decides Fuji could use a friend outside of tennis. Drama With Romance, I-3

He'd been told before, most notably by his little sister, that he worried too much. But he couldn't shake off a feeling of responsibility for this injury.

Thinking about this pairing makes my head hurt. >_< It makes a lot of sense, though I would never have thought about it before this.... You've got Fuji really, really well. And Fuji is... difficult to get right.

Kippei also; his determination and quiet compassion. A lot of his patience. The thing about him not playing Fuji says so much about his character, and Fuji's, and even Tezuka's. Nice. ^_^

Tachibana and Fuji of course is wonderful. This couple should have so much more fics dedicated to them.

But it is Tezuka and Fuji's friendship that fascinate me so damn much. I love how you have incorporated the latest manga issue, weaving Fuji's reaction to the change in his reasons for playing tennis. And how now he KNOWS, he know the motivation, the need, the desire to win at all cost, and this knowlwdge doesn't bring him happiness, because now he knows he never fully understood his closest friend.

And just damn, I love this.

More.

it's... *stutters, gives up and starts over again*

This makes me stop and smile, because knowing that they will end up together, then seeing this now... Watching Fuji open up to someone like that, finding someone he could trust like that... while retaining all the essential fuji + tezuka intensity that occurs in both anime and manga. *glomps you*

(of course, you do know that I'll be stalking you for the bits in the middle, but well, I stalk you anyway, so...)

Did Fuji actually lose/get injured in the match against Kirihara? *scratches head*

okay... what the hell happened to Fuji during his match with the crazy-kid???

And, I have to admit, in accordance to an above comment, when I first started reading this fic I was like "Atobe... hn. I could do with---oh, hello, Tezuka. Why yes, yes, I was just scooting along to the second part, I mean, hmm... what part? who's counting parts... oh, *hello* hot steamy sex, and dammit! shower sex not shown...but... oh my...heat's good... yes, very good... and, tteeeheeehee... fear the one known as Fuji Syusuke, for he will rip your heart out with a spoon, smiling all the while..."

Yeah... I got hooked. badly. and, really, I can *see* Tez & Atobe... I don't know why... but, [sighs] I guess if I'm opening ~A Game Worth Winning~ up to the other teams (and since Shinji, Akira, and Ann have already claimed a fic for themselves, and that stupid Dahn kid, too... and whatever his hot-assed name is from Hyotei who's decided that bondage is a very good look for redheaded partners... {blinks} I'm doomed..........)............
