SQUEE!

I realized Takagi's role in Shiratori's story immediately, but I loved every word. The way Shirotori breaks it to Takagi is absolutely beautiful. His reasons for their little talk are really good as well. *cackles merrily*

Just tell me that Satou-san wasn't the girl Shiratori had bullied, and that's part of why she spurned his advances before Takagi showed up... XD

[phantom_kaito]

And this universe officially lives!

Was hoping to surprise you about Shiratori knowing about Takagi, oh well.

Sorry to say Sato wasn't the little girl in the story (That would have been a bit too much of a coincidence, plus the girl has her own role to play.) She just was not impressed by Shiratori's personality.

I'm with Ocianne. SQUEE! :) This is lovely. I like seeing a side of Shiratori besides the.. well, jerk that often comes across... And I like Takagi as super-hero. :) It fits so well...

No character is one-dimensional. And sometimes it's fun to what kinds of different dimensions you can squeeze it.

Although I wouldn't say Takagi is a superhero. Not (obviously) because of lack of power or sense of justice, but by choice. After the fight with Shiratori in elementary school, he's too afraid of hurting people, so he's quite content to be an everyday hero.

I think it was the similarities between him and Clarks that spawned this plunny in the first place, you'll have to ask Ytak.

I don't even remember what I was thinking with the discussion of the similarities. Kind of one of those things that strikes some people harder than others.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!! Oh, excellent! And a Sato piece too? **dances** The first person viewpoint's working nicely; often people write that one with a bit too much background exposition, but in this case it's very balanced. Keeeeeeeeeeep gooooooooooooing! Please.

Glad it worked. While Gently Gently was also techinically first-person present-tense, it was broken up by enough flashbacks to make it more comfortable to write.

*cackles madly* I love breeding plunnies for other people. Its so much fun!

How have I kept missing fanfics? I check my friends list everyday!

Nice little twist with them meeting as children. I feel bad for Takagi, being put on the spot like that. He really doesn't like being the center of attention.

Despite initial reluctance I've grown to love this little guy *pets plunny on the head*

Awile ago my F-List wnet wonky and didn't always show new things, maybe that's what happened

No, no he doesn't. And one can almost guarantee he won't react well

I just had this crazy idea. It doesn't completly dovetail with what you wrote in "Gently, Gently" because of the line of 'Taru-kun's parents not knowing where he got his gifts from.
But, what if, Takagi's parents were actually Kryptonians immigrated to Earth? Maybe they were studying the planet and got stuck when Krypton went 'spooldy (that would explain how Jor-El knew about the planet)? Maybe they heeded Jor-El's warnings and left? Things would have to be revised if you wanted to work it in. Its just an idea.
