WELCOME TO THE SERIES DEBRIEF OF...

playing with fire

fic 1: light the fuse
fic 2: taste the heat

In this highschool AU, Student Council Presidents Sakusa and Suna meet the Miya twins, resident delinquents.Given that I had been in the Student Council for ten years, serving as Vice President in my final term, a lot of these stories came from personal experience in a sense. I thought it would be fun to throw Miya Four into this setting and write about their shenanigans too!It's a two part series (for now), part one focusing on sakuatsu and part two focusing on sunaosa. You can read the fics alone but it'll be a lot more fun if you read both fics of course :DObviously, spoilers ahead. If you haven't read the fics, you can read light the fuse here. and taste the heat hereIf you've read it, then click on the options below to navigate!!

Inspiration

light the fuse

I've always loved the shoujo manga trope of Delinquent x Student Council President, so those cliches really inspired the writing of this fic!Sakusa Kiyoomi is very uptight, someone who follows all kinds of rules without questioning them due to his upbringing. But when he meets Atsumu, he starts to open up a little and realise that sometimes, freedom only comes if you let loose and let yourself live.I named the fic "light the fuse" precisely because after Sakusa meets Atsumu, it lights this spark of rebellion in him. A spark that lets him lead a more meaningful life!

taste the heat

Taste the heat was truly truly a fic inspired from my personal experience. As Council VP, I was way more like Suna that Sakusa if you catch my drift. I am not the most lawful person out there :")Another big part of this fic is food of course! I love japanese food so it was really fun to write about and describe some of my comfort foods.Suna and Osamu share a Home Econs class in this fic, where they pair up for cooking lessons. I had similar cooking lessons in secondary school school and they were some of my fondest memories! So it made me really happy to write about Suna and Osamu cooking in a school setting.I have no deep meaning for the title of this fic. I just thought of smoker Osamu and Suna making out and thought ah, yes, "taste the heat" sounds like an apt title.

Thoughts & Extra Information

general

Fun fact, "light the fuse" is my first fic ever! I have literally NEVER written a fanfic prior to this, so it was a new yet nervewrecking experience for me! I wrote that fic in December 2021 and posted it in January 2022, promising that the sunaosa part two would be out soon. I then proceeded to not write the sunaosa fic for five months...sorry about that.Anyway, even before I started writing the fics, I knew I wanted to have it be from Sakusa's POV and Suna's POV respectively. It was really challenging but I'm really glad I tried it.Something else I also wanted to highlight in my fics were the "opposites" in the fic. Opposites like Atsumu seeking trouble and calling attention to himself vs Osamu staying low on the radar. Additionally, Sakusa following the rules strictly vs Suna bending the rules when he pleases.This contrast between the characters really shaped their interactions and the locations. For example, Atsumu is the one who seeks Kiyoomi out, coming to the Council room specifically to find him. On the other hand, Suna is the one who always goes to find Osamu. Sakuatsu spend a lot of time outside of school (ice cream parlour, karaoke etc) while Sunaosa spend a lot of their time in school away from watchful eyes.

light the fuse

One of my favourite is the scene where they're drinking ramune in the diner where Atsumu works. It's a scene that wasn't originally in the fic, but added later on! It's meant to be a snapshot into some of the "normal" experiences Sakusa was devoid of having due to his upbringing. I wanted to show how Atsumu is happy to bring Sakusa around to experience all these little things.Atsumu with piercings is something I hold very close to my heart. I personally find piercings very attractive, so I projected onto Sakusa and gave Atsumu a whole lot of piercings. It's honestly a little embarassing...The final scene was the toughest for me to write since I've never written a makeout scene before. I rewrote it like five times but I'm really satisfied with how it turned out I think :)

taste the heat

Fun Fact: The kanji for "Rin" in the name Rintarou is 倫, and it stands for "ethics". I only found this out after writing Suna as morally questionable and not very rule abiding so it was quite funny to me.I would like to add though that Suna is a respectable member of the Council. He does his job well and he contributes greatly. The rules he breaks are mostly harmless and it's all in good fun.When I wrote this fic, I had this idea in mind of Suna who liked to play around a lot to satisfy his curiousity. In contrast, Osamu is the complete opposite. I like to think that just like Atsumu who definitely liked Sakusa very early on, Osamu also liked Suna since the beginning. He was just afraid that Suna was playing with his feelings. These dumb boys, ugh.I also have so many deleted scenes and parts from this fic, it's unbelievable. But it's alright, I'll make sure to return some of those scenes to sunaosa in future fics !!Also, the recipe I referenced for zosui (rice porridge) can be found here and the recipe I referenced for bulgogi onigirazu can be found here

En's Student Council Stories

I'll start off by saying that I always did my Student Council work as well as I could. I picked some of the more tame stories since the other stories are really hard to explain in words.

- on CCTV footages and sneaking around -As part of my morning duty, I was in charge of making morning announcements and announcing assembly venues. This meant that I was stationed at the general/front office.By sheer luck, I was given a space right next to dozens of monitors, live streaming CCTV footage from all over my school. It was fun to people watch but it was also really useful because I could now map out the blind spots in the compound. By the time I was given the position of Council VP, I knew full well which routes to take when sneaking around school to not get caught.I think I should also add in that my school is insanely strict and they check CCTV footage often. Hence the paranoia.

- on acquiring certain keys -I won't say how but just like Suna, I acquired a few keys to places around my school.I had the key to the rooftop - still have it till today - and I never told a soul. I'd just make my way to a back stairwell (careful not to get caught on tape ofc lol) and unlock the door to the rooftop.I'd bring my laptop to do work there sometimes, but mostly I just watched the sky and listened to music.I also got ahold of the keys to my school's main auditorium. My friends and I would sneak there after school to have karaoke sessions. We'd hook our phones up to the big speakers and use the microphones to have mini-concerts. (It helped that the CCTV cameras in the auditorium stupidly turned off after five pm)

- on the committee members -I love all my ExCo members, we worked together extremely well and everyone was really sweet.We did really good work together and we never messed up a single event. The teachers trusted us fully, which gave us lots of room for fun.We had a portable disco light and JBL speaker in the council room that we'd bust out all the time for mini parties. Gambling happened in the council room occasionally too, although we never bet large amounts since we were all broke.Another funny tidbit was that nearly all of us were dating during our term. Which was ironic given my school's strict ban on relationships lmao.
