    Summary

    Dead bodies don't lie. People do.

    Maomao is a forensic analyst who trusts evidence more than instincts and prefers to work alone—until a series of deaths ruled accidental refuses to behave like coincidence. The case comes with a complication: Jinshi, a detective with too much polish, too many connections, and an inconvenient habit of paying attention.

    What begins as a professional necessity becomes an evolving hypothesis—shared late nights, careful collaboration, and trust built one conclusion at a time. *AU*

    Remarkable and moving. Bittersweet, really, in the best way possible. I'll be reading this again many times in the coming years.

    Summary

    Heavily influenced by the game system Cyberpunk 2020. Rurouni Kenshin Fanfiction AU, set circa 2030, where almost all net interaction is virtual and information is power. This will tell the tale of Himura Kenshin, modern day street samurai and former brilliant programmer for a leading zaibatsu, before tragedy involving his greatest achievement - the black ice sentry, Battousai - drove him into seclusion. Now, years later, he will return to the ugly world of street politics and corporate war in an effort to help an unconventional netrunner find her brother.

    The runner's name is Kamiya Kaoru, and she is the only person to have encountered the Battousai program and survived. But not for long, if the corporation has anything to say about it...

    Very good piece. Slow to update right now, but easily worth reading (and re-reading) regardless of that.
