Wow - thanks for all of the obvious hard work you put into this. It's an interesting world you've built up and I enjoyed the relationship dynamics between the characters. Also, your Shishido is ♥.
Thanks for reading and commenting! And I would like to take credit for the world but I stole a lot of it from Dave Duncan's series the Kings blades which is epic. I highly rec it.
Hee, I love the relationship between Yuushi and Shishido. He totally wants to be caught, doesn't he? XD And poor Shishido and Ohtori always getting interrupted, but I like how patient they are about it. This was awesome~
Yuushi and Shishido were too fun to write. And Yuushi is totally an exhibitionist. He just wishes that Shishido either had better timing or would just watch quietly without interrupting him mid coitus.
I wanted Shishido and Ohtori's relationship to be a slow burn to make it last and really build up the friendship too. And to contrast Mr. ManWhore Yuushi♥
I also wrote a side fic that explains some of Shishido's and Yuushi's more friendly interactions. You can find it here if you're interested.
Oh, my fancy has been tickled alright. More like fondled... or massaged... vigorously rubbed (did that sound naughty...? I hope it did *bricked*)? Anyway, I came, I read, I fangirled. It was good.
There are no words to express my gratitude that you actually tackled the High Fantasy prompt. I was quite honestly not expecting anybody to give that one a go, but you did and thank you so, so, so much for that. You have created so many interesting intrigues and quirky, original details in there, and I could've gone on reading for ages, but all good things have to end of course... even if it leaves me wanting to go 'more please, thanks'. So yeah. Thank you

Although I liked the interactions, particularly the bi weekly duels, bar drinking, and the mention of Taki, it seems like the narritive is lacking a certion snarky flair that I expect of Shishido.
There isn't a lot of backstory and that kind of leaves him less colorful then I expected of this kind of fic. No mentions of implied street urchin days and the unimportant Tachibana accident along with the lack of banter with Atobe kind of dulled the story to me.
Granted, Knight!Shishido most likely wouldn't argue, but to me essentiel flavors are missing.
I do love the fic and all the effort it was written with but the nitpicks prevented me from adoring it

You can read a side story from Yuushi's pov where he teaches Shishido how to seduce and kiss here if you're interested.
