[Fic] Making History - PoT, Shishido & Ohtori

[miko_no_da]

This one is for sharona1x2, for many reasons but mostly for helping me keep my love for the Silver Pair alive in the face of Zack-muse attempting to eat my brain. I hadn't realized how much I've missed these two

If I've helped keep your love for this pairing alive, it's a mutual thing. I've been drifting away from them for a while, but I'll always come back to read your stories. You write some of the best fic, ever, for them.

As much as I love what this fic says about Shishido, I also love that it shows Ohtori is just as determined. The part where he vowed to get better control so he wouldn't hit Shishido made me very happy. You always give them both equal attention, and I thank you for that!

I also love that Ohtori didn't start out liking Shishido very much. There's something awesome about watching how his opinion of Shishido changes as Shishido himself changes. These two are pretty complicated characters, and it's so nice to see that reflected in your story. ^_^

I love them both equally, how can I not give them both equal attention? For characters who had fairly little screen time, they're amazingly complex. Konomi is very good at building many and varied characters who capture your attention despite not seeing all that much of them. And it gives us so much room to expand and explore, too.

In the 10.5 book Konomi mentions that Ohtori really doesn't think much of his seniors. I've always assumed that would have included Shishido, until they started working together.

Also, icon love. Like a brand new day, indeed. ^______^ I keep forgetting that you prefer Ohtori as seme, don't you? Next time I owe you something maybe I'll have to try that dynamic, see if I can make it work.

I asked sonkikyo to make that icon. I wanted "brand new day" on an icon with the boys. I think she did a wonderful job with it!

I keep forgetting that you prefer Ohtori as seme, don't you?

Actually, I think I like him better as the one being pursued, but as long as he and Shishido are together, I'm not going to complain either way. I'm so happy to have fic from you about them. Period. ^_____^

Well, I'm glad to make you happy. Any time, not just when I owe you for something. ^____^

Man, I need to just steal all your SP icons. That, or go on an icon-making spree, but I've been so busy writing lately, and yours are all better than anything I could come up with, anyway. ;p

Feel free to take whatever icons I'm using that you want. I got them all from icon posts, so you just have to give credit to the people who made them. ^_^
