The journey so far: 🟦🐦🔥👘💀🗻⛵🪡⚔📖🛀🏻🌲🌈🍵🦊🐎❤️🛏️✍🎨💋💍🍶🦝
After all that Akemi has worked to build in Edo crumbles around her, Mizu reappears and offers her an unexpected path to a new life. A slow burn road trip romance, with spirits and poetry and sword fighting.
A complicated love story. (Mostly Mizukemi but some Mizu/Taigen, some... well, we'll see).
This is me basically writing my ideal version of Season 2 as I bide my time waiting for the show to come back.
Disclaimer: this has nothing to do with artificial intelligence. Ai is a Japanese word. 😂

Alternate ending to "The Tale of the Ronin and the Bride." It would have been easier to let the guards spirit Akemi away, but what if Mizu made the opposite choice?

Summary
Enya Hughes the eldest child of Abijah Fowler recently returned to his side after the death of her husband. Now she is waiting in Japan for a new husband to grow her father's wealth. She has a secret passion for medicines and practices “witchcraft”, which might be the true cause of her husband’s death. She longs for power and the freedom to do as she wishes. While waiting for a new husband a demon came in to kill her father, and somehow she ended up in the same frozen lake as them. Ringo against his better judgment let the woman come with him. Now Mizu woke up to see this Irish girl determined to not just help her, but be their wife. The question for Enya is not if she should help Mizu, but if Mizu is the first man she is attracted to or if someone killing her dad was.

Blue Eye Samurai - The Fox and The Wolf by Moonsong95

Summary
London is a city choking on secrets and the stench of old blood and the white men who control it. Mizu prowls the shadows in search of the man who fathered her. But Mizu isn’t the only hunter. The city’s underworld trembles at rumors of “the Fox” a masked vigilante leading a ragtag band of survivors, rescuing girls from the ships and brothels of Routely and Skeffington. Paths collide in the bloody alleys and ruined churches of London: Mizu and Kit, two outcasts haunted by the past, driven by the same hunger for revenge and justice. Distrust simmers between them even as necessity forges a grudging alliance. As they battle rival gangs, corrupt overseers, and the ghosts of their own histories, Mizu and Kit must decide if revenge is worth their humanity, or if there’s room, even in a city this rotten, to build something like hope.
Revenge. Found family. In the end, is freedom enough, or will they risk everything for revenge?

Summary
Jiyuu (自由)
Freedom or liberty, representing the state of being free from constraints or restrictions.What if Akemi was married off to the new lord of Sendai (Mizu unknown to her) who had taken up that offer at the pass and ended up engaged to Akemi to both keep up appearances and also in guilt of her actions against her, yet still hellbent on revenge all the while.
Slowburn, ENDGAME: Mizu/Akemi
ft. commission art by @omint///
In the garden Akemi's gaze lingers on the pair of cranes, watching as their heads bow together in greeting. The sight should be warming, an auspicious sighting particularly on a wedding day and yet Akemi finds herself suddenly rueful. Ash from the shrine lingers on her wedding kimono, the scent overpowering even now as they kneel for the banquet for their honour. Something shy of conflict had flickered across her betrothed face as they had recited the marriage rites. A haunted fear to his eye when he’d locked eyes with her briefly, those amber glasses on his face even now. For a man who had no doubt slaughtered many men, Akemi can’t help but ponder why a marriage ceremony would be the thing that weakened him.

Summary
Taigen laughs uproariously, eyes glittering. “Oh, I’m conceited? I think everything is about me? Look in a mirror sometime, Mizu! You’re so selfish, you rip through people’s lives like they’re paper. Nothing matters as long as Mizu gets what he wants.”
There’s truth to his words, and Mizu knows it, which makes her all the angrier.
---
When her ship is destroyed at sea and Fowler is nowhere to be found, Mizu will do whatever it takes to find him, kill him, and continue her quest for revenge. Whether the journey takes her far afield, brings her back home, or lands her in the middle of Edo castle, Mizu is determined to see her violent errand through... and no arrogant, stubborn, infuriating ronin is going to stand in her way.- Language:

Summary
Taigen wasn’t so sure what he expected when he blinked his eyes open. The aching of wounds, the throbbing of his head and a cottonmouth were anticipated, possibly even finding himself back in the depths of the white bastard’s fortress like a caged animal would’ve been more expected. However, nothing could’ve prepared him for a pair of blue eyes staring down at him at an uncomfortable distance.
They weren’t the same ones he had grown used to, these were less round, more distinctively Japanese. So he lay there for a moment, startled amongst his searing injuries and under the inquisitive stare.Or
Mizu's full of surprises, 'fathering' a child just happened to be one of them.

I wanted to see the world (then I flew over the ocean) by kelaodiyaa

Summary
The first time Akemi sees Mizu—glimpsed between panes of lacquered palanquin wood, as her gaze turned inevitably to the only person not kneeling, to that man, awkward and gangly and stiff, standing when everyone else bowed, with those eyes nearly hidden by an unflattering broad hat and ridiculous orange spectacles—the first time she sees her, she hates her.
Their eyes meet. There's snow falling outside, dusting the offensively broad hat's rim. They pass. Akemi's heart skips in tiny outrage.
×
The first time Mizu sees Akemi, it's on that bridge in Kyoto, prim and pretty and painted as a portrait, and she thinks that the fine, decorative gold things in her hair look difficult to make. The kind of difficult to make that tells of someone else's hard work and a thousand, thousand kitchen knives.
The princess is beautiful, she thinks.
或 / or:
Mizu steps (staggers) in when Akemi's father sends men to bring her back, in the aftermath of the brothel bloodbath. It's only the newest in a line of questionable choices, because it seems that as of late, for whatever reason, she can't stop accidentally collecting people.

SLOW TO UPDATE/THIS BOOK IS ON HIATUS
(don’t worry, I always come back) @kidicaruslover911 on tumblr!!When you, a supposedly wandering swordswoman (and doctor at your ‘lost hours’), happened to bump into your one and only childhood friend again, much had changed.
But some things just don't.
Despite all the years that had passed, he still hadn’t given up on his pledge of vengeance, and both of you honored your vow to achieve mastery over the sword.
So now you find yourself following a demon’s path.
*Mizu is a man from reader’s perspective (not for too long tho)*
whether it be criticism or compliments, comments are always appreciated!
(also i try to answer when i can so please be patient with me😔)
