Disclaimer: Fire Emblem is copyrighted by Intelligent Systems and Nintendo. I'm not getting any money out of this, just satisfaction~

Notes: December seems to be the "I hate everything and think it sucks" month by default. If last year is any indication, I'll change my mind in a month or two. I think I'll wait until I have a better mindset to do any serious revision. Hell, these are rough drafts anyway, so if there are problems, deal.

However, I would like to remind certain people that this is my fangirl AU, and so... so. I do try to cover it up. Usually.

There's no hiding this, though. ONWARD, DEAR READER, EVER ONWARD.

Beauty on a Winter Morning

Genre: gen

AU/Canon: slightly AU.
Pairing/Characters: Juusanhime, Shuurei
Words: 3013

Prompt: November 2009 - Thank You (free word count)

Notes: inspired by my vague memory of The Pillow Book of Sei Shonagon, and not a very good imitation. Will be edited when my brain isn't fried. Also, inspired by imanewme's prompt over at the warm up list for Nano - "Jyuusan-hime's diary entry from her days as a consort."


( Things pleasant on a winter morning... )

Gauntlet Theme: 24 - promises almost kept
Prompt: young!Reishin, a moment that determined his decision to take Kouyuu in

Notes: Gaiden #3 actually addresses why Reishin decided to save Kouyuu, so this is an extrapolation on that confession, which went something like, "his eyes watched the distance as if waiting for someone, just like mine used to when I waited for Shouka to come home." The title comes from an Utena chorus that has nothing to do with this topic at all.


( Winter never truly touched Kou Province, except when Shouka was gone. )
