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.

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.

Ah, thank you love; I was hoping someone would notice the names. It continues to switch off a bit, depending on who he's with and how he's relating to them. The reunion with Ryuuki did push him very firmly back into Seien for a while.

I thought that might be the case, when I saw him switch names mid-paragraph in Dragon's Whisker.

*nods* It seems, so far, that dealing with Shouka is most likely to move him into Seiran. Interestingly enough, he tends to think as Seiran when he's outraged over something political, too. Shuurei often pushes him that way, but not always; I think it depends a bit on whether Ryuuki is there, too.
