Saiunkoku: The Age of Silver: The Wind Cries

Fic post from my archive.

The Wind Cries

Shouka and Seien talk, some secrets are revealed, and Seien gets a shock. Drama, I-4

Surely someone that deadly should show it, the way it showed in his brothers' eyes, or in Meishou's smile.

As usual, much squee <3. Seiran/Seien getting some much deserved 'We love you!' (in his face, where he can't avoid it).

My favorite line is Shouka's bit about the shadows on Seien's path will be his....*awe*

Oh, very nicely done, Shouka. *hearts him madly*

oh I win so much!!!

Sorry, continuation of the insane glee of having multiple Emperor Seien-AUs to read. Maybe the bizarre flu I'm suffering from now is some form of instant karma for having such an embarrassment of riches fall into my lap . . .

I very much like some of the imagery here. Seien's thought about his previous life's memories was something that particularly struck me, and the mention of Seien's brothers and Meishou. Overall this was very tightly written and quite smooth, an acheivement to be proud of.

I know you intended this story to be part of the AU you're working on, but I could just as easily see it fitting into the normal timeline as well. Since after all, we don't really know to what extent Seiran and Shouka are aware of each other's secret identities. So as far as that's concerned, just about anything goes.

Ah, thank you for two (three!) excellent fics in as few days! I heartily look forward to more.

There're lots of wonderfully fun things in Saiunkoku and one of the best has to be how despite being the Black Wolf, Shouka has absolutely no survival skills - he'd soooo die of malnutrition or bad dietary habits if he didn't have Shuurei and Seiran looking after him.

XD ^^v
