Fic post from my archive.

The Color of the Phoenix's Tail: Part Five

Seien is learning how to deal with the ministers. Drama, I-3

Seien sighed; some days he felt more like a nursemaid than any kind of ruler, even one in training. Keeping the ministers away from each other's throats sometimes reminded him quite a lot of trying to keep a five-year-old Shuurei from dunking herself in the fish pond.

First to reiterate that I'm so happy you're writing Saiunkoku fic !

Second, I hurt my brain reading the comments because when masqueer11 mentioned chibi Shuurei on Seiran's lap, my thoughts made a sharp turn & I visualized both the chibis, Shuurei & Ryuuki, riding on Seiran during his daily duties ala Yachiru/Zaraki from Bleach.
*ow*

Looking forward to the next installment =)

Thank you! I'm having a great time with this series, I must say.

*visualises chibis*

*brain twists*

Oh man. Yeah, that's an ow. Especially since, you know, with the bad sense of direction and all, I have to immediately /also/ imagine Kouyuu as a chibi hanging on up there.

Oh jeez, I didn't even think about the sense of direction angle.
*recalls Yachiru giving "directions" to Zaraki with commentary from Ikkaku (who I just remembered shares Kouyuu's seiyuu - eek!)
