Making Right, by Northlight (PG-13)
Fandom: GETBACKERS
Pairing: Ginji/Ban
Author on LJ:

Author's Website: I Wrote That!
Why This Must Be Read:
Northlight's work is always good; she has a way with words, and strings them together so smoothly and neatly that her stories just swim off the page. This is a nice example of that, and the more difficult because it's written from Ginji's perspective. Writing Ginji's viewpoint can be tough. He's simple but not stupid, confident but not cocky. Northlight pulls it off wonderfully. And Ban would behave just like this, and Ginji would respond in just this way. It's nice to watch them interact. The results are inevitably cute and sweet.
So: Ban-chan blustered at Shido when they passed him on the way to the Honky Tonk; he grabbed Hevn, and blustered some more once she hit him in the face; and he fought Ginji for the last scraps of food on Ginji's plate. Ban-chan was acting very, very Ban-chan-ish, but Ginji couldn't forget the way that Ban-chan had patted his shoulder--*patted his shoulder!*--instead of settling into Ginji's side like he was supposed to.
