Saiunkoku: The Age of Silver: Paper Dust

Fic post from my archive.

Paper Dust

Seien sneeks a look in on Ryuuki and gets a lesson from Shouka into the bargain. Drama, I-3

The Archives were the only place he dared try to catch a glimpse of his brother.

Huzzah for more writage!

An excellent piece to show how Seien's selfishness can be translated into apparent selflessness. To protect the country so that Ryuuki and Shuurei can be safe would be a great reason for him to actually work toward being a good emperor.

And Ryuuki is utterly adorable. How can his other brothers and mother be so evil? *hiss*

*hearts wee!Ryuuki muchly*

Also, Seiran reminds me a lot of Yukimura, in some ways. Or, possibly, it's after midnight and my thinking is gone fuzzy. Maybe both. Either way, it's fucking hot.

chibi Ryuuki fills me with joy, he definately does. Abused chibi Ryuuki makes my chest hurt, but that's not something I'll really complain of since I like angst and that is definately angst (and really, I've done a heck of a lot worse to the poor kid . . .). Poor Ryuuki.

Ah, but soon he'll get his wonderful big brother back, and Seien will make all better! Or at least, I assume you're heading in that direction. ;-)

I liked your descriptions of Ryuuki, and I hugely approve of Shouka and the way he's teaching (maybe? But I can't doubt for a minute that he knows Seien is there) two princes at once. Shouka is truly a miracle, as Shou has attested . . .

More more more, please. Am especially looking forward to brotherly reunion because I adore brotherly cuteness. Wouldn't mind hearing Seien's thoughts upon first sneaking into the palace, or his thoughts the first time he glimpses Ryuuki again. Thinking of these things makes me extremely happy, oh yes.

Thank you much for posting and further writage!

Excellent!

This fandom didn't have enough fics at all, but especially not enough fics like this one! Fics with plots! Fics with Seiran being Seiran as opposed to some sort of mutant superhero with no flaw! Fics with Shouka being hot being Shouka! Fics that prompt comments with way too many exclamation marks!

I'm totally a fan, and you should be scared!

*much love* I just stumbled across this, and I absolutely adore it to bits. Seiran's characterisation is so well done. I also love how in that last line, protecting the country is almost an afterthought for him, rather than a priority.

*is reduced to a vulgar puddle of goo from the chibi Ryuuki Love. And the big brother!Seien Love. And the Shouka Love*

And I'm afraid puddles of goo aren't very articulate...

Erm... Not that I don't like your writings - 'cause I do! Really!! - but this "Age of Silver" stuff leaves me confused.
Is there a certain order in which those drabbles are supposed to be read? If so, HOW!? (Read: Could you please, pretty please put up some kind of, I dunno, order of reading or something? *makes puppy dog eyes*)
Another thing I'd like to know: are those drabbles going anywhere? Yes? Then I don't mind the waiting and even they're just there for the fun, that's okay, too! <3
