AnonySanta, I really, really don't know what I've done to deserve this, because I'm sure I've been very naughty this year, but maybe that's why I get such a deliciously dirty gift. This was just...absolutely everything I've ever wanted in an exchange fic, and then some, with the boys being boys, and the travelling to Italy and Greece (and after having been to Burano, I have to say that that reference killed me and the description was lovely and it was just like being back there and I felt like Atobe in that I really wanted to join Yuushi there and not just because Yuushi is such a sexy bastard), and the sociopolitical games the Atobe family plays, and the Pride and Prejudice references (oh my god, who are you?!), and Shishido, and Hiyoshi, and Yuushi being shattered by the school finding out one of his conquests faked her orgasm, and the phone sex, and Atobe loving being told off, and seeing them both ruffled, and the dinner table scene (god I shrieked with laughter the whole way through), and the sex, oh - dirty and
( ... )
Some of my favourite lines, though like I said I could quote the whole damn fic at you:
Hiyoshi looked thoughtful. Atobe was nowhere near cool enough to be a spy, and besides, he was way too flashy. He'd be as subtle as a spear through the head.
Hiyoshi thought he would make a fantastic spy. He often hoped someone would pick him up from the gates of Hyotei in a fancy black car, tell him they'd been watching him for months, and he was just the sort of person they needed. Usually, though, it was his mother, and instead, she would wipe his face with a napkin where he was grubby from practice, and that was in no way cool or something the secret service would do.
Oh, Piyo. ♥♥♥
By the tenth day, Atobe was considering acting out a Greek tragedy, perhaps killing his father, and then throwing himself onto jagged rocks; something suitably dramatic. He would have to draw the line at sexual relations with his mother, though, even if Oshitari did keep insisting that if he was twenty years older he would, to which Atobe would scream and
( ... )
"I said that..." Oshitari's voice was shaky. Atobe made a mental note to tell him that he was more charming when he wasn't trying.
Because just. YES. I love that version of Yuushi SO MUCH, and I love that Atobe sees that in him, and I love the way they are together where they can both just be themselves because there are no expectations, and...dfslkgjfdlkgjfd.
I am so, so happy you liked this, truly. I fretted over it for ages, because I have rampant writing insecurity, and wondered if it was not hot enough, too removed from school and tennis, entirely stupid and should be scrapped, etc, etc, etc. My beta is a very tolerant person. XD
The fact you've been to Burano makes it boggingly appropriate, because I had no idea you had. I'd never even heard of the place before I went there, let alone met anyone else who'd been. o.O
I randomly checked your journal today, because originally I'd been going to comment to tell you the formatting was fucked up, and if you'd wanted the original document I would have sent it to you so you could read it that way, but then I saw you'd disabled anonymous commenting and gave up. When I was there, however, I saw that you'd been ill today. Being ill myself right now, and the Xmas before that, I sympathise, and I hope this goes some way to make you feel a little better. I loved writing it. ♥
Oh, anon, I can totally understand the writing insecurity, but you have NOTHING to be insecure about, because this was brilliant, and so much hot (honestly, when I saw you'd rated it R, I was not expecting the sex to be so scorching, but god was it ever), and I'm very glad you had such an awesome beta.
Hahahahah and here I thought you were like. Invading my mind or something, because so much of this is so exactly what I love. And that's awesome that you've been!
You're really so sweet. ♥ Thank you so much, again. All the laughing did help me to feel better. Yesterday was a very very good day as a result, and today is just as good because I can go back and read this again. ♥
