Kippei smiled down at him when Shuusuke raised his head to give him an inquiring look. "All the people you're most drawn to are ones you can't control."

Am I allowed to say 'in this fic' that I love Mizuki? ^_^ Because I really do.
I was a little worried after I read the previous one, specially because I hadn't any idea how Tachibana would deal with the thing, but...I like it as you did. Of course I think Fuji deserved some pain because what he did to Tachibana was...geeez..But I can accept your way of see things too.
I liked the idea of Mizuki 'winning' against Fuji. Not because I dislike Fuji, but because I think the tensai has to see that he's not the almighty guy, and Mizuki can be really dangerous if he is really into it.

I noticed I'm reviewing all the fics in one post, but...I had printed all of them (with Fuji, Tachibana, Mizuki and Yuuta) so just now I could write to you.
I'm loving all the Mirror Writing...since Atobe/Tezuka until now. You are doing a great job...I'm just a little worried now about when this Mizuki/Fuji thing will end, because...if Yuuta will be with Mizuki...well...something will have to be done to settle things between them. A whole life fighting is not exactly a sane and good thing to see.

*grins* Sure you are. Mizuki is an evil creature who likes to get people's goats; what's not to love?

I'm fairly sure Fuji does feel quite guilty, but he doesn't seem to deal well with feeling guilty. Or, really, feeling a lot of things. Which is why I think it will probably be Tachibana who pulls him out of the tit-for-tat cycle with Mizuki. Tachibana is stable enough, and Fuji trusts him enough. Not sure when that will happen, though. The fourth story will bring Fuji and Mizuki to a sort of plateau, where their sniping at each other doesn't get as toxically out of hand as it did in "The Winner Is". But I think a real resolution will take a lot longer.

Glad you're liking it!
