Read Genius 232-233

EDIT -- unlocked this as, uh, people keep asking me to write the D1 "fic", even though it's obviously unwritable. :D;; So instead you can read the blurb!

As I never got around to reading last week's chapter. XD Should've: Tezuka's innit, and not standing around looking like a stern cardboard cutout of himself either. Stasis doesn't suit him. (Part of the metaphoric load of the phrase "straight arrow" is the sense that it must be loosed, and that its purpose lies in flight. The bow matters; the desire of the archer does not. The aim matters; the target after it's been struck does not. What matters most is the parabolic curve of its path through the air. Tezuka has a tragic flaw, alas; his fletching's on a bit crooked, he can't fly as far as he'd be able to otherwise. I think I've pretty much beaten this metaphor to death. XD) As for Sanada vs. Ryouma, I suspect the pacing'll work a lot better in tankoubon. Match point, anyway, and surely Konomi doesn't intend to take this into overtime? =_=

( Oh, and I might as well write this out: a D1 AUfic concept )

...I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry. I swear that wouldn't go away until I'd written it down.
