• These days with Guigui

    Tonight, something shifted. Guigui curled into the crook of my neck, so light and warm, as if he belonged there. I reached up to stroke his fur and realized—his bones no longer jutted out sharply. The ridge of his spine has softened. His ribs aren’t ghosting through his skin anymore.…

  • What Kind of Love – Prologue

    Disclaimer: I don’t own Fushigi Yuugi. This story is influenced by slavedriver2008’s Hotohori/Yui fanfics where Boshin really liked Yui. There will be very minimal references to the book. I had this idea sometime ago and at this point I’m not really sure how it will end. I do hope to…
