I didn't bring the masamei art here, but it's a sin to hide it. Sometimes I even get carried away in the notp, and even too good :D Oh, well!

I'm (finally) posting some of my masamei fic! So, all you Daiya fans, please check it out! Here's a sample:

But kissing Miyuki and dreaming about kissing him were two completely different things, but all of it confirmed what Mei had somehow always known, and that the first person he’d date would be the Miyuki Kazuya. He’d pushed Miyuki into the King-sized bed, feeling heat pool in his belly at finally fulfilling his fantasies of making a mess of the “pretty boy catcher” Miyuki Kazuya...

… Until [Read the rest on AO3]

Terajima Yuji: Master of Parallels & Foreshadowing

As I've said I'm going to write about the things I found & liked/disliked about the way TJ-sensei wrote Daiya.

How he creates characters

To be very honest, once TJ introduced the new first years, I felt like he was getting stagnant and just recycling the traits we have come to like. Basing the current teams quirks with the graduated batch:

Tojo - a pitcher turned batter (basically a toned down Isashiki Jun)

Kanemaru - another baby Isashiki. He's literally as loud as Jun-san.

Zono - a mixture of Masuko & Jun (who is Zono's favorite senpai). He's loud as Jun, and as soft & caring as Jun! Heck, even the fact that you see Zono & Haruichi always together is reminiscent of Masuko & Ryo oni-san.

Okumura - Furuya/Miyuki mashup (i mite throw a lil bit of Chris upfrontness)

Yui - he's smol but soooper strong like Ryo-san!

Seto - Miyuki/Kuramochi mashup

Takatsu - soon to be Shirasu

Kukki - toned down Sawamura Eijun

Asada - he's literally a baby Tanba!

So what?

This is the scary thing I found though. TJ-sen, instead of having our leads have internal monologues, chose to project it to his other characters. And sometimes, he uses character parallels to foreshadow what would happen in the future.

Miyuki/Okumura

Why did Okumura went to Seidou? He's interested w/ the teams' two interesting pitchers. But why? Because he saw Miyuki smiling. He's asking if it's possible to play baseball while having fun. This basically confirms, Miyuki is having fun most w/ Eijun. You'll see the one match Okumura recalls is with a MiyuSawa battery. (Nah, I just really wanna flaunt that Miyuki's favorite is Eijun, haha).

Tojou/Kukki & Furuya/Sawamura

This is why I actually wrote this post. There was a conversation between the two when Kukki was placed in the second string. The funny thing is, their conversation is basically projecting Furuya & Eijun. Now, Tojou is sort of a 'prodigy' if you count him as a pitcher coming from a nationals level team. He's the Furuya. Meanwhile, we have Kukki who has the same strong heart with Sawamura.

Doesn't it sound so much like what Furuya is going through? And the fact that Tojou (Furuya) is talking to Kukki (Eijun). It gave me goosebumps when this thought sank in. TJ is a fuckin genius.

And remember that at this point, Furuya's in a slump while Eijun is on a roll.

This scene takes the cake.

'Let's see who gets to stand on the mound.' This is basically same as Furuya declaring that he hasn't given up the ace title.

Eijun/Miyuki/Chris & Okumura/Eijun/Miyuki

Eijun came to Seidou for Miyuki but ended up looking up to baseball jesus chris-senpai. And now we have Koshu who came for Eijun but is not chasing Miyuki before the time runs out. (Also, Koshu needs to meet Chris for real 🤣)

Itsuki/Mei & Okumura/Eijun

Wolf boy literally declared he's going to catch up & play at Eijun's level. Isn't it like our baby Itsuki when he started catching for Mei?

MasaMei & MiSawa

At this point, we know Seidou's gonna win against Inashiro this time. (Cause if they don't, then what's the point?) But there were so much hints/teasers that I just love it.

Recall this night before Inashiro beat Seidou in Act 1 (Chap 141)

Now look at what happened after the Ichidai San mess in Act 2:

Add to the fact that Tetsu & Kataoka literally groomed Miyuki to be like Masa-san (a captain-catcher-clean up). Buckle up folks cause we're really getting the Golden Age of Seidou.

This is why I ain't forgiving TJ if we don't get something (or even better than) like this sunset moment of MasaMei for Miyuki & Eijun.

[incorrect-daiyanoace]

Masa: My family. They can be critical.

Mei: That’s ok, I take criticism very well.

Masa: No, you don’t.

Mei: What’s that supposed to mean?

Masa: Just that you don’t take criticism very well.

Mei: Why don’t you just kick me in the face?!

childish behavior | masamei

pairing - harada masatoshi x narumiya mei genre - fluff wc - 696 ao3

If there was something Masatoshi was used to, it was Mei’s behavior. He was easier to deal with on the mound – when he had an obvious consequence to his rash decisions – but when it was just in the comfort of their own room, there was nothing holding him back from being completely insufferable.

“Masa-san!” he whined. “It hurts!”

Masatoshi sighed, wringing the cloth out to wipe Mei’s face once again. The pitcher had eaten something he was warned against while left alone at the table, and he was definitely feeling the consequence as he wriggled around in bed.

“I bet you won’t go around putting everything you see in your mouth like a puppy now, will you?”

Mei let out a strained groan, legs curling up tightly as another wave of nausea hit him. Masatoshi was admittedly grateful for all of his whining, however annoying it was in the moment. A quiet, sick Mei was something serious, and he’d much rather deal with his boyfriend acting like a child than just lying there in silence.

“I want tea.”

“I made you tea half an hour ago, Mei. You let it go cold.”

“It smelled to strong, I couldn’t drink it!” Mei pulled his thighs to his abdomen as tight as he could. “I can drink it now Masa-san!”

Masatoshi wiped the cloth down Mei’s neck before putting it down next to the bowl. He wasn’t looking forward to all the laundry Mei would sweat through after this, and his neck was already protesting his position on the edge of the bed. He got up to make Mei another batch of tea, or just warm up the last batch if it was still good, but was stopped by a grip on his forearm.

“Where’re you going?” Mei asked, voice strained and eyes teary.

“I thought you wanted tea.”

Mei tugged on his arm, brows furrowed as he urged Masatoshi to sit back next to him. “Don’t leave me. It’s too cold.”

The catcher took a deep, calming breath before weighing his options and crawling over his boyfriend to lay on his other side.

“Don’t complain about not having yourtea in the next ten minutes, Mei, or I’ll sleep on the couch.”

Mei nodded, pulling Masatoshi’s arms around him and guiding them to hold him tightly. Masatoshi slid one hand up to smooth Mei’s damp hair back, the younger letting out a shudder and a whine as the cool air from the fan hit his clammy skin.

“Your fever’s finally going down. Take a nap and we’ll see if you feel better afterwards.”

“You won’t leave me?” Mei asked, turning his head over his shoulder the best he could.

“I may for a few minutes to get you some food-”

Mei made a sound like he was about to throw up at the suggestion.

“-something light, Mei. I promise you’ll be able to hold it down when you wake up.”

“What if I puke in my sleep?”

“I’ll roll you off the bed so you don’t ruin the sheets.”

Mei started to wriggle, like he was going to turn around and complain in Masatoshi’s face, but ultimately went limp in his arms instead.

“I’ll take care of you, Mei.”

“I know, Masa-san,” he muttered into the pillow.

“Get some sleep, Mei.”

“I know, Masa-san.”

“I love you, Mei.”

“I know, Masa-san.”

Mei jumped at the pinch in his side, letting out a sound that was almost a squeal. Masatoshi huffed, bracing the arm under Mei to roll the younger onto his chest. Mei complained about puking on him, but Masatoshi simply rubbed his back, trying to coax him to sleep. The damp heat at his neck almost had Masatoshi regretting the change in position, but Mei slowly relaxed on top of him.

“I love you, Masa...” he finally muttered, exhaustion creeping in on him from all his cramping and whining.

“I know, Mei.”

He almost didn’t feel the jab to his side from how little effort Mei put behind it. Masatoshi brushed Mei’s hair back once more, kissing his forehead.

“I love you,” he said against his skin. “Now get some sleep before I get a headache.”

When I saw the “My Ship in 5 mins” I knew that I have to do it for my Main DnA ships and no one can stop me! Though one could be could of extremely cute fanfic but it’s still a nice ship.

In the beginning, they were friends

Raichi and Sanada could have the brotherly friendship too cause Raichi is too shy off the field to be the initiator of any romantic approach, that or he would have a one-track mind to understand his feelings, so whoever you ship him with, it’ll be cute~

You cannot stop me, never~

Also, while I was shocked that Kuramochi was like 170cm, I was even more shocked seeing how much shorter he is compared to the other players... Seriously, he is shorter than Sawamura...

The previous ones were just filler episodes

I love this ship so much, I dunno why but their interactions are so cute and unlike with Miyuki, there aren’t that many people who Mei could have such a relationship with? Maybe Itsuki or his buddies but I see them more as friends or fans of his.
