xparrotThis chapter is...not as angsty as the last one will be. Sorry, Katsura-san...
Gintama: Resuscitation, 2/3 {6,447 words}
R; Gintoki/Katsura, Joui war-era
"For a while Katsura tells himself that it's no more than the camaraderie of the battleground."
"He hates the feeling that the Joui cause is held back because of him, is being further delayed by his weakness."
Read it on AO3

Aaand the review
Date: 2011-04-01 05:24 am (UTC)Favorite part ♥
Also, idek why but the Takasugi you write comes off as strangely hot to me. *blinks in confusion while fanning self*
It's a hard contest, but Takasugi yields in the end, grins at Katsura fiercely and says, "Okay, you're back."
It's lines like these. ♥ ♥
Ohmygooooooddddd you incorporated THE flashback sceeeennnneeee!!! *glomps* I love youuuu~
I'm a little surprised you had Gin initiate! I always expected it would be Zura pursuing Gin based on what I inferred from "Happy Endings".
♥♥♥Sakamoto~♥♥♥ (Hooray for making him perceptive! *huggles*)
It's unfair, after all their years before of squabbling over food and their teacher's attention and everything else, that Gintoki would be so unselfish in this, that he gives and gives and doesn't take.
I appreciate how subtly yet decisively you've highlighted this aspect. :]

Date: 2011-04-01 07:42 am (UTC)It's odd, generally I don't feel much for Takasugi one way or another, but while writing him I kind of ended up rather fond of this Takasugi, before he's totally twisted. He was their nakama once, after all, so...
And Sakamoto I love anyway, for all that we've seen almost nothing of him, so had to give him a few moments ^^
Ohmygooooooddddd you incorporated THE flashback sceeeennnneeee!!! *glomps* I love youuuu~
had to put all the six zillion times I've rewatched the Shiroyasha fake-out preview to good use! XD
As far as your other comments go...eheh, wait and see? ^^; This is still part of the "Happy Endings" continuum, but the route's a little twisted...

Date: 2011-04-03 07:52 pm (UTC)(...ah, I can't read GinZura in present time, though. I try but even when it's well-written and IC it doesn't feel right to me ^^;; I am such the worse yaoi fangirl ever(tm)!)
Re: PS
Date: 2011-04-03 08:14 pm (UTC)(As for myself, I read Zura as straight — in fact, I rather ship him with Ikumatsu orz)
Re: PS
Date: 2011-04-03 08:19 pm (UTC)Hmm, I don't know if I read Zura as gay or straight...he strikes me as a "falls in love with the person" type. But he and Ikumatsu were cute (...even if the obvious OTP is Zura/Elizabeth ^^;;;;;)

Date: 2011-04-03 08:24 pm (UTC)You make a good point re:Zura. Though I guess you could say that at the present he's married to his work. :]

their painthe story!no subject
Date: 2011-04-02 02:59 pm (UTC)And I love how you make it clear to the reader that Gintoki isn't taking any pleasure from this, and that he isn't in love the way Katsura is - although Katsura as the POV character doesn't notice!
Poor boys.
