Shiraume

Sixth (and probably last) story in Ripples arc. 4,480 words. Rated G for this part. Working title was "Hashira" (after the famous canon match between Tezuka and Ryoma, where Tezuka asked Ryoma to become Seigaku's hashira). Guest appearance by Rikkai! I’ll add notes later. Too exhausted tonight. :( It may be worthwhile to remember the Books in Cetera universe, despite the name, are not actually paper volumes at all, and can take various forms.

Coincidentally, the 2014 Valentine's Day falls on a night of full moon. Not just any full moon, but the very first full moon of the year by the lunar calendar, which is celebrated in my culture.

Happy Valentine's Day! I hope you enjoy this installment of Et Cetera.

First part of the backstory subarc, Pairwise. How Oishi Syuuichirou became a healer and a Mage. Rated G for this part. Subtitled “Family Ways.” 2,557 words. Eiji’s part is coming up next, because Golden Pair should be together. =)

Rated G. Gen/Character Study. 305 words. Originally written for the Massively Multi-Player Drabble Project (2011) featuring drabbles for a total of 71 characters from Prince of Tennis. I think perhaps one person has seen this one before.

A week after the end of the Nationals, the Kanto Region schools gather for a relaxing summer camp together. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

G. Humor/Gen. 4,004 words. Story was written as a gift for the funpotexchange community. The canon following the end of the manga is slightly altered so that Ryoma is still around. Only Seigaku, Rikkai, Hyoutei, Rokkaku, Fudomine, and Yamabuki are featured for simplicity’s sake.

Birthday fic! ...That is to say, today is my birthday. For my birthday, hurricane Irene went easy on my city and moved on north peaceably. Which is awesome, by the way -- we'd been rather scared!

G. Gen/tiny hint of romance. Tezuka/Fuji, as much as I could manage in a mostly gen fic (XD). 936 words. Spoiler for ShinPuri ch 38 and Prince of Naniwa OVA -- you've been warned. Originally written for a DeviantArt Tezuka/Fuji contest (theme: Bitter/Sweet Goodbye).
