    Summary

    Everything gets awful quiet before a train robbery.

    The sky turns foggy gold like the scratchy and blurry sepia of an antiquated daguerreotype. It reeks of nostalgia and melancholy like the ol’ Sano family portrait, the ghosts of the deceased left stuck in an oval frame.

    Only when the silence reaches its absolute peak does a low rumbling shake up through the earth. The oncoming steam engine chugs rhythmically, its metal wheels creaking along the rattling wooden tracks. Sanzu shares a final nod with Mucho, and the pair lurch into action.

    Some people are just born into the world in opposing circumstances.
    Mucho & Sanzu - 1890s Outlaws AU. Loosely based on canon events, including Toman & Tenjiku.

    Summary

    If there's a type of person Hanma can read best it’s this: a little rough around the edges, damaged, and looking for someone they can pour themselves into, someone they think they can fix. Someone who wants to believe they have control. Someone who thinks that snark and sarcasm and wit means they’re tough or impenetrable or immune to feelings. But for all that posturing, really they tend to be the most sensitive. Deep down they’re always the most kind. Hanma can’t stand it: kindness. He doesn’t understand it very much at all.

    After Kisaki's death, Hanma Shuji is lost. Until he finds Ryuguji Ken.

    This story follows Hanma and Draken from June-July 2008. It's somewhere in-between a slowburn enemies to lovers and a character study. A story of two lost boys who become strangely perfect bedfellows.

    "The Ghost" is part two of a series. The first part, "Dead, Pretty Boys" is not required reading, but will help give context.

    Summary

    ;

    A boy with more secrets than smiles, an empty shell of what he once was, and an ancient tea room. Self-destructing has never been so sweet.

    Summary

    He himself is bloated on want and devotion, one hand on his pistol the other in the pill bottle and eyes always, always on Mikey, now gaunt and snow white, but still Mikey, still king.
