If pressed, I might have guessed you, but I'm glad I wasn't pressed, because I might not have, as well. *G*
The original story really fascinated me for similar reasons: this is actually a scenario I'd usually find completely unbelievable, but there was something in the setup of the relationship that exactly fit those "very special case" circumstances one puts on such things, with the expectation nobody will ever fill them. "I could believe Hisoka as the sub in an abusive D/s relationship with Tsuzuki, if XYZ." Your addition of Muraki to the mix actually takes it one more step in that direction, for me. Hisoka playing the role as a way to understand what it is Muraki's done, what he himself is now capable of, how Tsuzuki factors into it. I still prefer the aggressive and dominant Hisoka of "And Not Your Yellow Hair," but this one is very compelling and logically drawn.
I really, really hope you do a Remix reflection post. I love to see the thought processes that go into these things (which is why I love the DVD commentary meme, actually, and wish more authors on my flist would do it for more stories).
