Saiunkoku: The Age of Silver: Finding Home

Fic post from my archive.

Finding Home

Seien is re-introduced to the court. Familes are reintroduced to each other. Drama with Fluff, I-4

Seien's jaw tightened, but he did stand and turn to face the Court. The roar that greeted Shou-taishi's gesture of acclaim was distant in his ears; it reminded him of the sound of the riots, a year and a half ago.

<3 Utter love for you. This made me smile in a fluffy-headed way since DARNIT I wish Ryuuki had that growing up.

*killed by cuteness* Young Shuurei and Ryuuki are just adorable! And I love it how Shuurei disregards Seien's rank.

Oh my gawd, so much cuteness. I am awash in a sea of cute!

...has he gone from thinking of himself as Seiran to thinking of himself as Seien since the last fic? *checks* Okay, last fic he was switching back and forth. This fic, no Seirans at all... *rooting around*

...very subtle. *grins* Nice.

aaaaah so much happiness it defies words.

Wow. Senka is quite intriguing, too bad he doesn't last longer. Really, the early years of Saiunkoku, when Senka was establishing his reign, when the Big Three advisors were young, are practically begging for fanfic writers to take liberties. So much excellent history that never gets addressed. Nevertheless, your Senka pleases me greatly; a very complex man established in very few lines.

Ryuuki is indeed made of adorable, I am very much pleased. Adorable reunion scenes for the win! And Ryuuki gets his beloved brother back and gains a friend . . . all in one day, an embarassment of rich gifts! Poor lonely kid, he deserves all of that and more.

And as for Seien, he gets to keep both of the chibis. Ah, the lucky guy, surrounded by such cute his happiness is assured. He gets to have his manju bun and eat it, too . . . surely returning is worth it, wouldn't you say, Seien? :-)

Aaaah, I feel like I just had a good meal.

<-- I had a bad day but this is how I feel about you right now

oh and nitpick now that i read it over again: Shuurei calls her father Tousama, not Chichiue.

*glomps*
Thank you! Thank you very much for sharing this with us. <3
(...and for giving me yet another reason to squee over Seiran, Ryuuki and the rest. *g* Not that I'd really need another 'excuse' for doing so. ^__^v)

BTW, what were the first two chapters/installments of the "Age of Silver" arc? Stupid li'l me can't remember right now...>__<;;

I like the bit about "imperial dignity," because you're right, that isn't one of Seiran's more prominent qualities in canon. And I like the change from "his face was still" to "his eyes were clear."

Wee Shuurei and Wee Ryuuki are the cutest things to ever walk the earth. :)
