  Summary

  Mei loves painting and dismantling secret underground organisations. Preferably before they turn kidnapped orphans into brainwashed soldiers.
  And if she fucks up canon along the way, well, if the future peace can't handle an artist and missing-nin saving innocent kids, then maybe it was never worth preserving to begin with.

  Or: Mei really tries her best, but never quite gets it right
