ASHHHHHH I had so much fun reading this even if I didn't remember who these people were... iirc last time I caught up with shinteni it was angel kirihara littering feathers on the court. ANYWAY, this was so well written and structured and cited I could really feel your joy(madness?) through this.
- I am s fond of mori now... self sacrificial plays are my jam. ('at match point atobe uses atobe kingdom to target mori’s absolute blind spot, which he is physically unable to react to given the limitations of his skeleton. but then mori STRAIGHT UP DISLOCATES HIS SHOULDER') - I SNORTED OUT LOUD KONOMI-SENSEI IS THIS STILL TENNIS?? but then the parallel with niou killed me... and even then the ghost of tezuka killed me even further.
- "see his former kouhai yukimura struggling through PT at the hospital and realises he’d been taking his skill for granted." yelled out loud I'M CONNECTING THE DOTS
