| title: Lust fandom: Prince of Tennis characters/pairings: Fuji/Tezuka, Tezuka's father, mother, and grandfather, Yuuta, Yumiko, all of Seigaku rating: T warnings: sexual situations, kinkiness, bloodplay, AU summary: Tezuka has a secret that could destroy him... and Fuji. notes: blaming this on Bryan, who also named this (perfectly), and who kept me going as i wrote it. apologies for any errors regarding Japanese culture or schools; did the best that google and wikipedia would let me. much luhff to xelloss, who provided me with off-the-cuff beta'ing as i posted. thankyou!! |
- the only japanese i use is for words/concepts that don't have any good or complete translation into english, such as honorifics. i could spend five minutes explaining that tezuka is seated with his feet under his ass or i could just say seiza. i could say those cool samurai pants with the pleats, or i could say hakama. apologies for anything that is not clear. by the same token, names such as neesan or okaasan do have english equivalents, so i used things like sis or mother. related to this, i pluralized senpai by making it senpais. i know that in japanese, it's senpai-tachi, but i'm using english standards for it because i'm importing a word that has no direct, meaningful translation in english.
- so, now that it is clear what tezzie's condition is... this whole fic started because Bryan said, you should write me some vampire!tezzie. this was before i'd even heard that the bromides featuring a vampire!tezzie were coming out. this vampire story is very much influenced by Lament of the Lamb, a gorgeous manga series i would HIGHLY recommend. there, the vampirism is grounded, as if looking at what a real life vampire would be like. the rules of vampirism are not the same here as in that series, but the idea is from there... to ground the vampirism in day to day life. actually, the bromides spawned a whole 'nother plot bunny...
- Nyuto-san is a mountain in the Akita prefecture, which is fairly north in Japan. i just looked around for a mountain in Japan that wasn't Fuji. ^_~ it would seem that Nyuto-san is most known for its onsens (hot spring resorts).
- i did a bit of research on places to go in tokyo, so the information on sunshine city and the aquarium there is the best i could do based on research. i did find this super cute page for Penguins in Tokyo. it's a lot of fun to peruse, particularly the top link on the left side.
- the scene in the rain is based on the manga (as opposed to the anime's version) and quotes from the manga translation by FET are in italics. dear god almighty, how i love this scene. *_* REALLY have trouble reading this in any way that isn't tezuka/fuji canonization....
- there is a great fanon convention that Tezuka's mom is a lot like Fuji (or Fuji is a lot like Tezuka's mom, however you want to phrase it). I believe it is somewhat based on the very short bit in either 10.5 or 20.5 where we see the Tezuka family at breakfast, but really, i see no strong canon reasons for there to be a correlation between the two. however, the fanon works well for this fic, especially since both Fuji and Ayana have chosen to be with Tezukas, at risk to their own health. *shrugs* so, forgive the fanonness, please?
