A Guise of Gentle Words [Prince of Tennis, Rikkai pre-canon]
Noey, I blame you for this! I hope it works for you ;) Rikkai first-year fic, set later than what I've written so far. The troika plan to hang out. 400 Words.

While my Internet was being stupid, I took the liberty of heading off to the shower and I got to thinking about this fic and the dynamics of the Troika and how it changes from this AU to a year after, when Trials of Rikkai happens and Sanada and Yukimura seem to have found level ground.
I love the way Yanagi's mind works. I don't really know what he had in mind by not showing up on time for this one, but where my mind is speculating, I like what thoughts are milling about.
Sometimes it seems like Yukimura can only handle it when they are a group, a unit. One-on-one unsettles him after too long, except when it's Muraoka-senpai, and tennis.
This. I can't help but hearken back to that fic you wrote, the one in the first person from Yukimura's pov and how in terms of tennis there is a huge difference between Seiichi and Renji + Genichirou. It's not as pronounced in the anime, because (a) we don't really get that much focus on Rikkai as much as say... IDK, Seigaku etc, and (b) it might just be me, but by the time we do see them canon-wise, they are already The Troika, a unit and highly defined by each other.
With that said, seeing them like this... awkwardly figuring out how to work out some kind of chemistry is something I am enjoying reading. The added factor of Muraoka-sempai throwing a wrench into things is a nicely added bonus as well. :3

-and repeating myself to you over how much they so did not all just mesh together right away, but once they did, THEY DID.
