[graychalk]

Fandom: Prince of Tennis
Characters: Choutarou's father, Ootori Choutarou, Shishido/Ootori, Hyotei regulars
Length/Type: One-shot (approx. 4700 words), 2nd person POV

Summary: Ootori Choutarou, as seen through the eyes of his father.

♥ Reccing a Hikago father's POV fic yesterday reminded me that this one needed to be added here ASAP. Bunseki is written from Choutarou's dad's point of view but uses the 2nd person narrative to do this (and the author uses it very well indeed). The narrative gives the story an intimate quality that I can't explain. The voice, the flow, the different things that happen - it's like you're right up there with them, with Choutarou's father, seeing everything he sees - and man, what a great eye he has.

There's more than just Choutarou here though - there's also Hyotei, the regulars, and Shishido... and Choutarou and Shishido, together. It seems like such a simple, quiet observational piece, but there's also something about it that resonates with my inner fangirl, the kind that reminds me, "This is why you ship them."
