playing for keeps (≈ 1700 words)

fandom: prince of tennis
pairing: tezuka/ryoma, pg

Spin-the-bottle is just a game, but that's wrong; nothing with Tezuka can be just a game. Tezuka never holds back. With Tezuka, Ryoma is always playing for keeps.

You should post this to tenipuri, btw! and/or tezukaryouma. I mean. Because it is wonderful, and all. *_*

Lovely fic, spin the bottle is always fun to do and it's nice to see it done from Ryoma's point of view. I liked that you've written it so... soft and gentle. Very sweet. I don't know if you saw but I did a similar fic recently, with a different spin, if you'll forgive the pun, so you'll have to tell me what you think ^_^ http://musechorus.livejournal.com/10372.html

yep, it was your fic that inspired the idea originally. bookshop and i were just chatting about it (well, chatting and wibbling about what a great idea it was and whatnot) and this idea was born. i thought about putting a note at the top about how your fic and how i enjoyed it so much *.* but it seemed superfluous since they don't actually have all that much in common, other than the premise.

[knw.livejournal.com]

Hee, I'm glad you really enjoyed mine ^_^ They do have their similarities, but quite a few differences, you're right. I think you can tell mine was a moment of fun while you guys put some thought into it though. The image of Ryoma crawling to Tezuka for a kiss is simply too good for anyone to resist. Here's to us inspiring still more authors to do it!

I'm glad you really enjoyed mine

Here's to us inspiring still more authors to do it!

IF ONLY.

*_* This is just awesome!

[cimness.livejournal.com]

heeee, coincidentally, i think those were thewhiteprophet's exact words! :D it's embarrassing how caught up i am in this idea.

[shushesyou.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one reduced to keysmashing and *_* faces!

:D it's embarrassing how caught up i am in this idea.

Does this mean there will be more? :D :D :D

[cimness.livejournal.com]

not more spin-the-bottle, but more of this universe, oh, yes.

[dicedpear.livejournal.com]

I LOVE it.

[cimness.livejournal.com]

thank you!

[kishmet.livejournal.com]

This is absolutely beautiful. I adore spin the bottle fics, and you wrote this one so perfectly. They're all wonderfully in-character, and it's funny and adorable! ♥

Also, this line:
Ryoma wonders what Fuji-senpai did to get Tezuka-buchou here.

It made me so happy. XD

[cimness.livejournal.com]

thank you! fuji keeps threatening to hijack my tezuka/ryoma ideas. he's just so fabulous and wonderful that i get sidetracked. :>
