Fic post from my archive.

May We Be Truly Thankful

Shuuei has an encounter with Seiran, one evening and comes away with a new appreciation of the Emperor he has. Drama, I-4

The weight of Shuuei's armor pressed over his shoulders, and it still felt like he was being stripped naked. And not in a pleasant way.

Is it "brothers" instead of bothers, or am I too sleepy to get that line?

Loved the idea - and adored the closing scene, because you KNOW that Seiran would not be anywhere near as merciful as Ryuuki when things got difficult.

*looks* *falls down laughing until she has to hold her stomach* Oh my god! It /is/ supposed to be "brothers", thought I imagine Shuuei might disagree! *gigging*

Thank you! And, yeah, I bet Seiran would get all glinty when the going got tough and make everyone hop.

oh but yes, I second this most strongly. Am creating an entire fic universe based on the entire concept, actually. oh so much glee.

Also agree that the closing scene is awesome. Shuuei's prayer is beautifully stated.

Really? *sparkles* So much coolness. Seiran in charge... *happy sigh*
