Pairs [Crossover]

Chronologically, this story takes place after Enjoying Life at Ease (A Crossover, Mainly Prince of Tennis).

The heroine is an original character, not someone who transmigrated.

The male lead is the Gentleman (yes, the one usually paired with the Fox, with all the fuss about who tops and who bottoms. P.S. This is a straight romance).

Since this story touches on quite a few obscure anime and novels, as well as some that were popular long ago, I will list every newly referenced anime and novel in the author's notes at the end of each chapter. This includes works mentioned only through a character's name or a single quoted line. Popular and obscure works will all be listed, along with their titles and authors, so anyone who's curious can look them up.

Also, since this is part of a series, the earlier installments will come up in this story from time to time. I'll list them in the author's notes the first time they are mentioned.

A word of emphasis: I've tried to smooth over the dates and locations of events in the various anime and novels mentioned here to avoid creating plot holes, but in truth... So please don't nitpick. As you read, stay broad-minded, calm, and graceful, and selectively avert your eyes. Also, please do the same for outrageous plot twists, naive writing, and melodrama. If you really can't take it anymore... well, just close the page and delete it. Out of sight, out of mind. TAT
