Summary: Tomo/Sakaki. Their relationship was like a broken chord—the notes weren't all played together, or in the right order, but they were there. Sort of.
And a bit more explanation:
I'll admit, the idea of Tomo/Sakaki was at first conceived as a self-imposed challenge, to take the least likely pairing and somehow make it work. The result was the one-shot "Rhythm".
But as I considered the pairing further, it began to grow on me, especially since Sakaki has always been one of my favorites. So I decided to take my challenge further, and write a short story with this pairing.
Thus "Steadily Erratic" was born. It takes place well before "Rhythm", and is intended to provide a basis for a possible Tomo/Sakaki relationship.
Canon basis for this pairing:
1) Tomo and Kagura have a lot in common. So if Kagura/Sakaki, why not Tomo/Sakaki?
2) Tomo is quite jealous of Sakaki's breasts (though to be fair, she's jealous of Kagura's and Yomi's breasts as well), even going to far as to "accidentally" cop a feel on Sakaki by "tossing and turning in her sleep" during the group's first summer vacation.
I'm done rambling. Have fun!
