A Guise of Gentle Words [Prince of Tennis, Rikkai pre-canon]

[fsop]

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.

Prompt: 11 September 2005: A guise of gentle wordsThey are sitting together on the bench; Sanada with back straight and arms crossed, Yukimura draped lazily and taking up almost fully half

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. By the time we see them, the Troika is a highly defined unit, woven together extremely tightly and subsequently lopsided because Yukimura isn't present and it's so easy to think that they became instant friends from the first moment they stepped on the courts

again, late comment is very late dammit can i get you both in a chat and we discuss this at length??

I think something that other writers (I was guilty of this too) in the midst of all the undercurrent in the anime (kindly see all the scenes wherein Sanada speaks to Yukimura in the hospital), is that Renji is inexplicably tied to the two. And what I honestly love about reading fic that you two write is that you address this.

Am doing canon-checks with Rika right now cos she has been hounding me with much love for more TGT fic and I'm doing the whole juggling act of incorporating Pre-Monarchy (this is what I am calling this already lololololololol) into everything. Shit, continuity, y such a bitch. ;u;

Crap I need to get everything together. CAN WE DISCUSS PLZ? ;; I miss you guys. You will keep my brain from imploding.

I am replying to this at work :x

That was one thing that got to me about a lot of fic out there - even the ones that feature Yanagi heavily, ship him with one of the other two, it's rare to see the bond between the three of them explored.

We need to find some time when we're all around. Hopefully some time this weekend. I want to see more of these TGT fics and explore some of this. :D

cyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyn

i'll be at work from 9am-6pm my time tomorrow before i head off to meet up with from friends for dinner, but i will make sure to be on gtalk the whole time i'm seated at the computer.

the TGT fics are currently being plotted. i realized that i need to flesh out a bunch of things like eiri's place amongst the boys and how that happened which is leading me to explore the bunta-yukimura friendship and how that happened. will also need to go into the relationships between the girls. i know i owe em one where sae and mayuki talk, some more insight into asari and i need to start highlighting mayu.

8D clearly, i am once again en route to frying my brain-- but i put together all the info in a file and will be printing them out to put in a clearbook for reference 8DDDD

p.s. rika and i went nuts. we have akaya-buchou's team. bunta, niou and jackal are all resisting the urge to mutilate their kohai as a result |DDDD

I'll have to look up what time that translates to here. :D I'll make sure to be around all of Saturday on gtalk. We'll have to see when Em works, too!

We definitely need to go into the relationships between the girls! The friendships and everything - I know you had it as a few of them being close, we need to explore how that happened. Hopefully we'll have time to do so tomorrow. :D

I saw the post Rika made and read some of it. Looks fascinating, the team you put together for Kirihara. It'll be interesting to see how he handles it! xD

\o\

I'm heading off to work, but as soon as I plop down at my workstation, I'll keep Gtalk open :DDD

I have the bare bones and generalization of how it sort of happened, but now that you've mentioned it, specifics would actually be nice. :D Oh stuff I need to write ._.

XDDDD There will be much hilarity, I imagine, but Rika and I have the basic premise.
