*growl* TezuFuji. Gyaaaah.
Whoops. Never again am I going to not write for an ENTIRE DAY and then wake up at four in the morning, completely incapable of doing anything but thinking of writing. Damn it. This, at 1500 words or so (it underwent some minor editing since its original production) is probably the closest thing to a drabble that's ever coming out of my cracked

I think what actually spurred this was cirnelle's comment on the horrors of Weepy Uke Fuji in a fic and my brain just... rebelled in my sleep, maybe. ^_^
*phew* I'm relieved that you like the Fuji POV--to be honest, my worry when looking over it was that though it tangles the lines a bit (and Fuji does deserve complexity) I was really wondering if he was, perhaps... well, I don't know. Too soul-of-a-poet, mind-of-a-sensualist. Or something of the sort. Still, though--I honestly believe he really does understand Tezuka, at the end of the day... and despite his somewhat amoral attitude, does love him. (I think I'm getting over my 'love in a fic' allergy, too.)
Tezuka's spirit will win until he decides not to.*nod* that's exactly what I think, too. *grin* I'm so HAPPY you got that! *glomp ( ... )

And that, for me, is the big attraction. He understands without having to ask, and he supports without having to say anything. Tezuka knows that Fuji is always there, and Fuji will only interfere if absolutely necessary. He trusts Tezuka to make the right decisions, for the team, and for Tezuka. He may not be Tezuka's equal in tennis, but I don't think he has to be. In fact, I sometimes wonder if he holds himself back so that Tezuka always wins. <-- my pet crack theory
You really make me feel so good, even over a fic that I'm not really sure I like!
It's been my pleasure. Really. You've given me so much to enjoy in such a short time. I know you have other things to do, and I shouldn't encourage you away from them, but you really are one of my favorite writers. I don't care how long it takes. I'll wait for a fic from you. *hugs you back*

Personally, my belief is that Fuji, to some degree, understands the team better than anyone--while he might not throw a game, I think he does realise that Tezuka has to be team captain... and if that means that Tezuka has to win, then Tezuka has to win. ^_^ I think he does hold himself back, personally, but for a very good reason.
Amona and I had this conversation once, I think. I can so see that as being Fuji's philosophy. He knows that the team needs for Tezuka to look as close to invincible as possible, as motivation to the team. When Fuji loses to Tezuka at cards or anything else, it's because he's not trying to win. It takes a lot for Fuji to be honestly competitive. I have to wonder if Tezuka's figured that out yet. *grin*
I hope you don't stop writing this pairing completely. You write them well.

I like to think that, too. It's funny to think of Fuji being so altruistic, because in fandom he's so often portrayed as being, well, vaguely and cheerfully evil, but the fact being--he's one of the team. And while he could probably never be fukubuchou, because he doesn't fuss quite that way and he doesn't ever really need to lead, he doesn't actually need to follow. It would be easy for him to undermine Tezuka's authority, if he wanted to--he's certainly clever enough--but he doesn't. He simply chooses to follow, and perhaps that's a gift, in its own right.

I think that was more of a minor skirmish over one person asking people who insulted her to leave her LJ. It got blown way out of proportion.
the thought of writing them again scares the bejeezus out of me.
It's one of those pairings people either love or hate, and both sides seem pretty vocal. I don't think the characters give a damn who they're paired with. *grin*
I won't complain if you stick with your other pairings, but I'd hate to think you felt you couldn't write TezuFuji if you wanted to. No one should make you feel like you can't write what you want.

I prefer authors who look beneath what's on the surface of a character. I've seen Fuji written as being very evil, and yet in the series, he does no one any lasting physical harm. Even when he ( ... )

Goodness. I see. Well, it's her prerogative. *nod* Still, though, it was, well, kind of upsetting how many people chose to join the fray. >.<
While I'll almost certainly always write what I want, the chances of me actually posting anything TezuFuji are kind of slim nowadays, but hey, we'll see. ^_^

Not to mention, really, that no-one in the series is actually even wary of him--sure, they think he's a little weird, but the fact being, he's just kind of quirky, and hard to read. Just because he's occasionally serious, and knows when and how to get his own back when someone he's protective over gets ( ... )

*whimpers* I like Mizuki. I haven't seen him really written well in fanfic yet (except in a story that Aishuu started called Rondo to Destruction). I'll admit though that I like him because of his seiyuu. I'll like any character that Ishida Akira voices. *swoon*
I just realized I don't have a Mizuki icon. I swear, I need 100 icons for all the characters I want to post about! ^___^
