tomomichiNotes/Babbling: I pimp out ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
genx88's fics so much, don't I? >_> But, dammit, she's good and she has all these ideas and I just love her writing... *coughs* But, hey, at least one of them wasn't hers! ^_~ (And, dammit, I need more TezuAto. Specifically happy TezuAto, dammit. *huffs* And more TezuFuji while we're at it. XD)
Series:
Prince of Tennis - 4 Fanfics
- Prince of Tennis - Beneath the Surface by Gen X - You know, it's hard for me to write recs sometimes, at least not without repeating myself terribly, because I've already said so much about what I want to say in the comments. However, what the hell, I'll just repeat myself. ^_~ What I adore about Gen X's writing is that she understands these characters and puts in these fabulous little details that just make so much sense. And with this drabble, she set this mood to the piece, she mirrored the way a storm feels and I just adore it when an author can do that. So even if I wanted to kick both of the characters for being stupid, I adore this fic because it's just so wonderfully written. (TezukaAtobe.)
- Prince of Tennis - View From the Pantry by Ilya - You know, reading the summary of this fic (as it's Atobe x Tezuka; Tezuka x Fuji), something crystallized for me... that TezuAto has carefully made its way to being even with TezuFuji for my affections. Reading the summary, I realized that because I have my wonderful, wonderful, precious, invaluable TezuFuji niche in the fandom... I crave the same thing from TezuAto. Bah, but I'm digressing. Ilya's writing is very smooth and readable as always and I liked a lot of things about this fic--I liked Atobe's self-confidence woven into everything he thinks without it feeling like it's compensating for something. That's one of the draws I have for Atobe--he doesn't brag because he needs external validation, he doesn't brag because he's secretly insecure, he brags because he is just that damn good. Yet at the same time, you see his more human side and... wahhh, I just wanted to hug him. The little details of Fuji cooking that noxious thing he calls food, the shirt that Atobe wanted back, all these little things that just made me see the story. And then there were the lines that just hurt, because, dammit, I want Atobe, to be happy, too. *sniffles* I hate it when fics force me to choose sides against my two favorite pairings. *kicks the underside of the desk petulantly* (TezuAto, TezuFuji.)
- Prince of Tennis - If You're Gone by Gen X - ....have I mentioned how much I adore Noel's drabbles? Because I really, really do and this one... is really just one of my absolute favorites of hers, because it's not super-painful, because you know it'll end eventually, because it's not overly dramatic, because it's very subtle and quiet. Because I can absolutely believe this is how Oishi feels during the course of his day--most of the times there are always things to distract him or to take care of, but during that moment that was just him and just Tezuka... there's nothing that can quite fill the empty space that that Tezuka-shaped piece left. The writing is just beautiful and I adore Noel's Oishi and this one just... touches me. (No real warnings/pairings.)
- Prince of Tennis - Family by Gen X - And another one by Noel that I just love because... she gets how families work. I loooooove the way her Mizuki and Yuuta interact here, the fabulous little details of how Mizuki sorts through his fruit salad for the individual pieces, the way he tries to engage Yuuta in conversation, and the way Yuuta reacts. I adore the writing and I adore the way she writes Mizuki, it just... fits. Mizuki is a very smart young man (when he's not so wound up that he can't see the forest for the trees) and he and Yuuta get along just fine and this fic shows why. I. Love. That. ....I'll stop gushing now. >_> *has been up way too late* (No real warnings/pairings.)
