Hee! One of the things I love about this is how you've taken a different route than Eliza did, yet you both do a fantastic job of highlighting the way these three interact, and what's so appealing about it. Tenpou's laissez-faire tyranny, Kenren's casual sensuality, and Konzen's grudging response to both of those things is just...guh. Love, love, love.

Thank you! Actually, I liked Eliza's so much that I'm paranoid about copying it, so it makes me very glad that you'd say that.

[ranalore]

You're both incredibly talented, but you've got different styles, so I don't think you'd have to worry about copying at all. And I'm just wallowing in two excellent authors writing my boys together. *G*

Also, I just spent the past five minutes totally distracted by your icon. Is that Konzen? And where is it from? Because. Whoa.

[wordsofastory]

Hee, thank you.

Yes. Yes, it is. And is it not the most gorgeous image you have ever seen? farferello made it a while ago, but I just found it recently when I was going through back posts in saiyuki_icons to find things I'd lost when my computer crashed. Apparently the originial image is from a doujinishi, though she doesn't say which one.

...which is probably a good thing, because I'd be tempted to track it down, and I have better things to spend money on than porn I can't read. Still. So pretty.
