Yessss epic AUs! Haha, AkaKuro (or Akashi/anyone) intrigues me because how do you have a successful argument with Akashi? I think that's kind of a key skill. xD

I found it a bit of a shock to slow down after all that match-match-match-match-match pace acceleration, actually! Obviously matches all the time would be unsustainable, but we've gone so long without breaks for training or team stuff that it was a little like whiplash.
