  3. Summary

    Feudal AU series.

    These stories use (more or less) the same setting, but they don't exist concurrently. Each fic in this 'verse is independent of the others and can be read as a standalone.

    “Sometimes when I look at you, I feel I’m gazing at a distant star. It’s dazzling, but the light is from tens of thousands of years ago. Maybe the star doesn’t even exist any more. Yet sometimes that light seems more real to me than anything.” - Haruki Murakami

    Summary

    “How’s your hand?”

    Jinx looked up at Sevika, then down at her wounded hand. “It doesn’t bleed anymore. Still can’t move it right, though.” Her expression shifted as a thought seemed to cross her mind, her lips twisting into a sneer. She looked at Sevika head-on. “If you hadn’t blown the place to smithereens, maybe I could’ve salvaged it.”

    Jinx’s words took a second too long to sink in, and Sevika scowled in disgust when they finally did. “What the hell for?”

    Jinx shrugged and extended her arm, wiggling its four remaining digits like some alien, void-spat creature. “Could’ve tried stapling it back on.”

    “If I hadn’t blown the place to smithereens, you’d be dead.”

    .

    Or, Jinx and Sevika attempt to navigate their new partnership... and each other.

    Summary

    "I was hoping someone would finally see the ad,” the man says. “You’re the first person that’s come by.”

    An ad in the newspaper—it’s a rental. For some reason this guy thinks Hiei is a potential tenant. It’s so absurd that he could laugh.

    “Right, to see the apartment,” Hiei says. “Because of the ad.”

    His smile broadens. “Let me introduce myself. My name is Kurama.”

    ***

    Hiei's always been an outsider. Tattooed, homeless, and unemployable is the reject trifecta. After a chance encounter he meets Kurama, the neighborhood florist, and rents the apartment above his flower shop. He hides his tattoos out of fear of judgment, but Kurama surprises him by asking for one of his own.

    Summary

    She was an overflow of a girl and he was a communist boy thrust into greatness too soon. They met in the middle of a tournament built to kill one of them, and for a year they were given the rarest thing — to be seen without being asked to be smaller for it. She had not yet learned to hold a thing as large as what she felt, and he could not forgive himself for an hour he had survived. What begins as first love becomes a reckoning with everything they were too young to say, too frightened to write, and was too real to outgrow.

    Summary

    As the shadow of war looms, Hermione Granger wants something that belongs to her. Something secret. Something good, and she thinks that Viktor Krum can give it to her. Hermione takes that gift and holds it close, closer than she'd ever meant to. She'd known what she was willing to give, but not what she'd been willing to take.
