    Summary

    ‘…Of all the rivalries in the world of sports over the years, perhaps none has become so legendary as that of Russian figure skater Viktor Nikiforov and his rival, Japanese Yuuri Katsuki…’

    A single event changes the course of Yuuri’s life, throwing him into a bitter rivalry with Viktor Nikiforov that spans across his entire skating career. But as the years go on, rivalry and hatred begin to develop into something very different and Yuuri doesn’t seem to be able to stay away, no matter how hard he tries.

    Hatred and love are two sides of the same coin and even though everything changes, some things are still meant to be.

    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.

    ///

    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

    “When the cottage is done, if you want to go home, we will tell the Council that you want to,” Qui-Gon says at the inn's ceiling. “But you have to promise me that you will try some Stewjoni things. They will want to see that you’ve tried to participate in the culture, Obi-Wan.”

    “I don’t want to," Obi-Wan snaps.

    (As part of their mutual probation period after Melida/Daan, the council sends Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan to the town of Coan-Connach on Stewjon, so that Obi-Wan can decide if he wants to continue with on the path to become a jedi or if he would like to return to his family. Coan-Connach, however, is a small town struggling to keep up its idyllic facade).

    Summary

    After deciding to allow Abijah Fowler to live, Mizu takes their quest for revenge off of the island nation of Edo and to the strange new place known only as London. But London, for all its similarities to Edo, is a strange and unkind place. If they are going to get their revenge, they will need to not only look to others, but learn how this new world and society works. Then, and only then, will they finally find - and kill - their father.

    A hypothetical Season 2 of Blue Eye Samurai.
