the case of the missing phonecall, or: favourable outcome (≈12 300 words)
by cimorene
prince of tennis
tezuka/ryoma, pg
thanks to bookshop for the title and the original idea, as well as the beta.

in which tezuka and inui form a truce, ryoma shares tezuka's preference for mysteries over gothic romances, and tezuka keeps giving ryoma his phone number.

um... hi! i suck at responding to really flattering reviews. but this made me smile a lot and i appreciated all your comments ♥♥ and aölkjfdaösj about the tennis, because, thank you. i hate writing tennis because i have no idea what i'm doing, but i realised i needed to run with the whole tennis=sex thing there at the end.

as for the incest in gothic romances, that was just tezuka's personal comment on wuthering heights. i suppose it's one of many gothic tropes, but i don't think it's a defining feature of the genre. :)
