Fic post from my archive.

The Color of the Phoenix's Tail: Part One

Seien works, sometimes reluctantly, at fitting himself back into the courts. So do some other people. Drama, I-3

Being heir seemed to Seien to be one trouble after another, but there were occasional good points.

For thel most part there isn't much fic in English yet. If you check out saiunkoku_fic you'll find most of it. There's two other Emperor!Seien arcs in progress. Aside from that, mostly we just seem to have a handful of standalones here and there. As complex and unsettled as the storyline still is, I'm not all that surprised, I suppose.

[sighs] Not surprised, but still bummed out. Ah, well. I did start to check out saiunkoku_fic and that one Emperor!Seien--I guess I didn't go far enough back to hunt out the other arc. I'll give it another looksei.

As for the story (since it's second period now and I've already read it and the other Emperor!Seien fics I'd found to read today during first period), the image of Shuurei and Ryuuki helping out while Shouka-papa observes is so cute! Sai is the toupe-guy who's always causing trouble, IIRC, ne? And his undersecretary is the one who assigned Shuurei to toilet duty, no? If so, he seems like he would make a v. good advisor to Seien.

This is one of five parts...and it looks like we'll be seeing Seien build his support crew. I wonder how Shuuei and Kyouyuu will enter this picture...

That's the Sai, yep.

*grins* He'll /meet/ his support crew; he doesn't get to /have/ most of them quite yet.

[laughs] oh! the wording of that just gets me... excited. ^__^ Looking forward to it, for sure. But it does make me think. Shou-conselor-weird-guy.... he started taking action again once he remet Ryuuki, ne? Working for an emperor he could stand for... so, I wonder just how much he's been there pulling the strings. Shouei and Kyoyuu, two very powerful houses represented there: Kou and Ran. Was he somehow behind that?
