Saiunkoku: Standalone: Pollen for Dreams

Fic post from my archive.

Pollen for Dreams

A quiet moment between Ryuuki and Seiran, balancing between truth and pretending. Drama with Unspoken Romance, I-3

"Let me play pretend? Just for a little bit?" Ryuuki begged, and Seiran's resistance fell all in a heap.

I am usually pretty anti-incest, but this pairing works for me in all its agonizing unspoken truths. Enjoyed this, glad to see you in a fandom I know again. <3

Oh yes. The two of them are such adorable woobies. (No, I didn't just finish 4, why do you ask?)

Such a shiny, shiny new fandom. *hearts*

Oooh, yes. Yes. This is good. :) *purrs happily*

I usually support Ryuuki with Shuurei (ZOMG HET), but when you write something in one of my fandoms, I come running. Sweet and simple, like the brothers should be. It can't be denied that those two love each other; only to what extent is the general question. I think you handled this pairing very well, so good on you for that. XD

yay, a new story!

do the flowers have any particular meaning? that is just the sort of question ryuuki would ask seiran. i thought this was elegantly written.

sorry that i'm not good at long reviews =(

...just gorgeous.
You really capture the painful longing of their interactions while keeping it light hearted and joyful.
Very nice.

omg! what does the lavendar symbolize, i wonder? like specifically... is it just love and affection? brotherly love? loyalty? or perhaps something more?
lovely fic, hopefully there's a follow-up (goes to search)
