Hello everyone!

so this story has been on hiatus for a very long time...

That is because I had some conflicting feelings about how I wanted the story to go.

One thing which hasn't changed is that Yami no Matsuei is still one of my most loved anime and I really do want to tell this story which was inspired by the summer omake/bonus manga scans I have which show some of what happens after the Kyoto arc.

For several years my creative flow just dried up and I didn't want to write, this has now hopefully past and I am determined even if nobody ever reads it I will finnish this story. However I have gone back and tweaked the existing chapters so will be re-uploading them under a slightly different name - When the Sakura stops falling (redeux)

I am also going to post to on the AO3 site where I will be keeping the same pen name (hopefully!)

For those who have read this previously I hope the re-written chapters are to your liking..

This is very much based on the cannon of the manga which includes somethings which were left out of the anime in terms of characterization and is in line with how I view the characters from my own head cannon and pychological view points.

thanks for reading

the mad novelist.
