foxinthestarsFushigi Yuugi Mirrorverse Episode 35 is now up at FF.net and at Ao3. (Of course, it's the same stuff posted here under the nano2010 tag with only minor changes...)
I am now all but certain that this will be the only time Tetsuya gets speaking lines (and that he'll never actually get on camera; yes, we'll never see those sunglasses, much less his eyes...). But yeah, local color. I actually did want to get in things like what the food was like, how public opinion about their government's idiosyncracies isn't monolithic, etc. (the fun worldbuilding stuff that Konan and Kutou showed up to early to get).
In general, I think I must be bad at revising, but when I do the draft, I have to keep telling myself "it can be bad and that's okay, I can always fix it later..." And then once I have the draft, I like it and don't want to change more than details. I distinctly recall thinking that this part was clumsily hemming and hawing my way into a pitifully transparent plot point, but now I'm looking over it and thinking "no, I like all these scenes, I think they each serve a good function..."
