You get Cynthia's reactions as she reads ;)

"Do you think that's what she says about you when she is questioned by her flings? 'It's okay, Tezuka prefers men'?" <--- This, right here, makes me wish there were two decent enough girls in the show so we could write a twisted You're-fucking-my-boyfriend-but-that's-okay-because-I'm-banging-your-girlfriend thing, a la NataLinz stuff. (I am so tempted to make some people girls and leave some boys just to mess with them. :x)

He was much like a child in that respect; he could make conversation if there was an obvious object or feeling to act as catalyst. But otherwise he was rather hopeless with speech. For some reason, I love this line. It fits so well.

'A Little Slice of Desperation' and the entire conversation that follows it is wonderful. Guh. Fuji, so cutting but so... sad, kind of. Tezuka and that last line, calling him a liar. It's so true.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE CONVERSATION DURING ECHIZEN'S GAME. OHFUCK. OHDAMN. What a way to bring back memories. WHY DOES FUJI HAVE MORALS? Tell him to stop :|

Well, Fuji cares enough to

You are not around!

Heh, Cyn, I pimped it out like you demanded suggested *haloshine*

[reddwarfer]

*flails* Wow. I like how they waited til Tezuka was divorced. Great job.

[fsop]

Thank you! :D I don't think it makes oodles of sense but it wouldn't stop writing itself, so I let it go where it wanted :)

*____* This was amazing, cute, well written---every (positive) adjective there is.

Ugh. Wonderful. I would read it twice if I didn't have work to do. Although I suppose i'll end up reading it twice tonight anyway...(3 times if possible...)

The one line that really got me was, 'He misses the fact that he is no longer playing the game.' Cute, and so very Tezuka ^___^

Thanks so, so much for sharing this. And I apologize for the long comment ^_^;;

[fsop]

Heh, if you've seen the first comment I got, I think you'll see I don't mind lengthy ones so much <3

And thank you very much for it! I'm glad you liked! :D

This fic was the whole package - angst, sex, UST, and lovelylovelylovely IC conversations between them.

I love your Fuji; he's s a difficult character to write, since he can be interpreted in so many different ways, but your detailed character development was extremely convincing. And your Tezuka? <3!!!

Overall, it was an excellent fic. Definitely memory'ing it. :D

same person, different journal ;)

[emothy]

Seriously, thank you <3

The conversations were my favourite part to write; I almost didn't want the snarking to end! Almost ;)

I'm sure I probably write him differently depending on the fic, but I think the variabilty just makes it even more fun! Must be why I love him so ;)

Alavit. Its so wicked, and teasing, and sweet, and, and, and---

Fuck. I'm at loss of words. I just fucking love it, man! :)

[fsop]

Aw, thank you very much! I'm so glad you liked it :D
