football fic, second down

[xparrot]

Fic, because I adore the original Devil Bats trio, and Kurita doesn't get enough love.

I should start a team practice series, so no one notices that this is the exact same ES21 fic I already wrote with a different main character. (But it's gotta be either practice or a game itself; where else do you see Hiruma?) This was intended as a drabble to open a longer story, a few snapshot moments of the Maoh Devil Bats. But I've been having a hell of a time writing anything lately and it felt so good that I let it go where it would. Luckily I can blame any OOC on them being younger.

Warnings for hypothetical pasts which future canon might disavow (the eternal problem with writing flashbacks) and as always for Hiruma's language. And a distressingly lack of firearms. Oops. Next time.

Read it on AO3

Ohhh wow. You really make me feel this. Thank you. Really good fic is the perfect way to start the day. I'm putting this in my memories.

Your right Kurita does not get any love, I try but Hiruma is just so cool. And your bit with the Threat Note appearing and disappearing cracked me up. Off to search the rest of your stuff.^__^

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! ^^
Oh, don't get me wrong, I adore all the Devil Bats, but my love for Hiruma is unhealthily unholy. ^_^ But he's so sweet with Kurita. Er, in this special Hiruma brand of sweetness.

I've only written one other ES21 fic thus far (here) but there's likely to be more coming...

Hey! Sorry to get to this so late--my life has been kind of insane lately. I wanted to let you know that I like this a lot. Kurita really does get too little love in general, and it's beautiful to see something that fleshes out his voice and his personality as well as his interaction with Hiruma in a believable way. So, yeah--great stuff! I was smiling the entire time I read this.

And, on another note, definitely, definitely, definitely feel free to finish up the trio. Anytime is good. Really. (*is not-so-sekritly crazy about Musashi*)

Hee, glad you liked! Kurita's such a sweetie, and he brings out Hiruma's...um...well. Not his squishy side, per se. But they are best friends and that makes me squishy, so, there you are.

And Musashi is <3, definitely want to get to him - just need the time to write, dangit! ^^
