Saiunkoku: The Age of Silver: The Road Not Taken

Fic post from my archive.

The Road Not Taken

The point of divergence from canon, when Seien chooses blood over peace. Drama, I-3

It was good, if a little strange, still, to sit in the sun, warm and safe with nothing to worry about.

*laughing* Great to hear you're liking it! The idea thundered down on me like a fic-mammoth within hours of her mentioning it; I was totally lost. *hearts Emperor!Seien mightily*

*goes to look at the cousin-bunny*

I am pleased to hear the thundering down like a fic-mammoth - that usually heralds high word volume (or at least more frequent updates).

Cousin bunnies for teh Win! Battlejoy-san is also doing one. Ahhh...like I've been saying to everyone I see online...it's like Christmas.

Words cannot express my joy and glee. I look forward to more. ^^

Yep, yep, definitely have a nice word-cascade going. Now I just hope I can sustain it!

And, um, you're going to be writing up your bits, too, so that you and grey_damaskena can post more lovely fic? Yes? Because that was really quite lovely, and, most marvelous of all, different enough from where I'm taking it that I can read it without getting derailed. *sparkles* Totally like Christmas.

I have stuff being beta-ed, but I've not given up on the task of convincing Thea-san that she should do all the writing and I do all the cheerleading (and the occasional doodle) because her stuff is much better than mine.

But yes. Christmas. And I also noticed this about the whole "emperor Seien AU" thing. Three different takes on it, and yours and BJ-san's were both completely different from what I had originally imagined. Variety being the spice of life and all, the my life is very good right now, indeed.^^

NOOOOOOOOOOO LIES! Do not deprive me of Majo-writing!! Your stuff is awesome and fun and I love it! If I did all the writing there would be nothing but angst and people bleeding all over the place. It would not be good at all.

Just for that, you owe me one of the bunnies you've been attacked by. ::stern:: I shall expect to see it in my mailbox within the next few days.

Absolutely nothing wrong with angst, or with people bleeding all over the place. You do angst and people bleeding all over the place MOST excellently.

...Bunny needs to be rewritten. Just realized life would've been a lot easier if I'd started with Ensei's POV.@_@ Ah, the lovely writing process...

The writage will be continuing, aye. We're at something like 100 collective pages now and still going. ::coughs:: Next post is currently being beta-ed and cleaned up, should go live soon.

I'm glad to be responsible for this spread of great 3v1l, oh yes. ::proud:: Next I shall have to try to gain further converts for my Saiunkoku crack pairing of DOOM . . .

[branchandroot]

*giggling* Okay, now, you /know/ that, having mentioned crack pairings, you simply must tell me what they are.

[grey-damaskena.livejournal.com]

Seiran/Kochou for the win! It is good crack, yesyesyes. And not one I've seen save in those I've infected with the awesome. ;-)

[grey-damaskena.livejournal.com]

And incidentally, Kochou tops. EVERYONE.

::goes and hides::

[branchandroot]

Oh, Kochou /totally/ tops everyone! *hearts her*

*giggles wickedly over the image of her with Seiran* Oh... oh /dear/... I think I may have to see if I can include this. After all, who better to, erm, educate our young, incognito prince?

Young!Seiran: *eyes wide* Um...

Oh yeah.

(Incidentally, that icon makes me die laughing; you /know/ Fluffy-sama has wanted to get into a yo' mamma match with Inu Yasha since forever.)

*glee*

Just ignore me here. Still happily enjoying the Christmas mood.
