Author has written 3 stories for Rurouni Kenshin.

Here for escape. I work on social justice issues in southern USA, and it is TOUGH. The ability to check out into fantasy fluff is vital to staying sane and doing the work. So all you brilliant writers out there that do this for fun/free, just know that you really are making the world a better place, in more ways than one. Thanks!

4/7/2020 Update: Welp, I figure if I put a deadline down in writing I'm more likely to meet it, so here it is! Chapter 9 of To Have and To Hold is 90% done. I have 2 MEASLY scenes to write and then I can post it. I just can't find the motivation. So here I am, motivating myself. I solemnly swear that I will post a new chapter by the end of this week. I will, I will!

Redemption Songs by Ayezur reviews
AU, sequel to Invictus. Six years later, the war is over. But the fight hasn't ended - dark plots and old grudges simmer below the surface, and the sweet peace of the new world might be nothing more than pleasant incense masking the rot of of the old. The inhabitants of the Kamiya dojo would rather nurse their wounds, but they may have no choice but to take up arms once more...

It wasn't supposed to be like this. He'd been at it for 10 years. Ten YEARS for crying out loud! He had perfected the art of friendly distance. He was a master at keeping people away from him, at keeping innocents out of harm's way. But damn if that woman hadn't obliterated every defense he'd set up and then some. Modern day AU. KK, BK.
