Fanfic Recommendation: MiSawa

On the previous post, I mentioned that I consider Daiya no Ace a good sports series with Free!, Haikyuu!!, and Baby Steps. I haven't watched Major and been meaning to pick up sports anime that had been recommended to me along with Princess Jellyfish, the third season of Uta no Prince-sama, Your Lie in April, and Nodame Cantabile.

But I digress.

The two of them are always together in official art.

I love the Miyuki X Sawamura interactions and to see how much Miyuki is so interested in Sawamura, attracted to that personality, a personality that can draw Miyuki out of his shell and comfort zone, the two as a battery and as close friends (?) are so explosive. This is Miyuki, who is completely obsessed with baseball (expressed no interest beyond baseball... literally the Seidou boys have no lives beyond baseball and school. I know Eijun would have some social life and he would finally open up Miyuki.)-dealt and to see him interested in something other than baseball is just so good for him.

So I am giving recommendations involving the pair.

Fic: The Trajectory of Laughter

Summary: Some say laughter is the cure for everything, but they obviously never heard Miyuki laugh...

Review: This is one of the best MiSawa fics I have seen. Good character development (even Furuya is pushed in a good direction and if you read my previous post, then you know just how much I am exasperated with the selfish character development. He did get some character development to those who say Furuya don't have character development but his development is rather revealing on his really unpleasant traits. I don't know where Terajima is going with revealing Furuya's bad traits but if it is to set contrast with the rest of the team especially Sawamura, but at the rate he is going, Furuya is going to be stripped of the ace number not just from a writing perspective but also Sawamura is our main protagonist and shown traits that is befitting of a captain and an ace. I do honestly think Sawamura can be captain. Anyways, I acknowledged Terajima's talent as an artist and a writer. Seriously, I love Eijun's character development from a talented albeit bratty beginner to a strong leader who can shoulder the pressure of an ace and come back stronger every single time.) and plot is what make it what it is.

Fic: String Theory (one hundred two beats per minute, the sound of silence)

Summary: Sawamura Eijun is only five years old when he first falls in love with music

So Sawamura's laid down his cards. That's fine. That means it's Kazuya's turn, and he falls on the opportunity like he's starved for it.

"Come here, Sawamura," he says, and he doesn't even bother to hide how breathless he sounds.

Review: Encompassing good character development and plot while still retaining differences from canon (the yips arc didn't occur at all and the baseball club that Seidou has turned into an entire curriculum for music students with music theory and history. Because Kawakami and Sawamura is more able enough, they are able to compete with Furuya for the concertmaster position after the third-years retire and the placement auditions make it way).

The reason why Eijun went to Seidou was partially because of Miyuki and the sound of the pitch into his mitt. The music Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence is that sound in this particular verse. There are parallels to canon yet there are still differences enough to make it its own.

Seriously the partnership of Miyuki and Sawamura is so attractive and even placed in an orchestra AU, Sawamura's raw talent and Miyuki's skill was what make them so spectacular.

I am guessing that Seidou Chamber Orchestra is a full ensemble depending on the people making it. Strings like violins and cellos make up a big lot of the orchestra. Aside from Isashiki, Tetsuya, Ryosuke, Higasa, Shirasu, Zono, Kuramochi, Kanemaru, Toujou, Nabe, Miyuki, Sawamura, Harucchi, Furuya and Chris-senpai Yuu Takigawa, we don't know the rest of the first string.

I can only guess that Toujou and Kanemaru make Seidou Symphony Orchestra for the time being and upgraded to Chamber Orchestra.

I'm guessing the pitchers are violinists (make the concertmaster position to be the ace number parallel) & pinch hitters and clean up batters are cellists (Raichi as a cellist and in a suit just makes me giggle. Now I can't get rid of the image that he's now a cellist, been playing since he was young due to his father.) though there would be exceptions. I doubt Kariba is a pianist (I think he's more of a clarinet) though I don't doubt Koushuu to be one.
