Summary
Two years Eiji was gone with barely a word sent back home to his mother. Two years of her son’s life that Hiroko will never know.
Hiroko is angry at Ibe for failing so spectacularly at keeping her son safe. She’s angry at Eiji for not coming home at the first opportunity. But her true fury has nowhere to go.
Ash Lynx is already dead.
(except he's not really because this is my fic, and I say Ash lived; welcome to my post-series "Eiji's Mom Meets Ash" fic)

apple koi; the story that almost (and we’re here, now we’ll hold on) by orphan_account

Summary
“A koi fish,” her teacher once read out loud from a well-worn storybook, “means tenacity. Perseverance. It is said that they fight against waterfalls, always swimming against the stream’s current so that when they one day reach the top of those waterfalls, they can shed their scales and become dragons.”
Thunder cracked in the doorway of the Okumura household, and from its light, her brother stood half-drowned in the doorway. Eiji was never the talkative type, but as he let the water drip from the floor into pools on the carpet without saying a word, thunder rumbling in the backdrop of Izumo, she knew that any words would have been choked out of him.
Eiji spared one small smile at her, dropped his suitcase by the shoe cupboard, and walked through the house with squeaking wet shoes. Kaori watched, frowned, and decided not to press.
He didn’t talk much about America.
(Or, a year from the finale, Kaori Okumura watches her brother struggle with the grief of his time in America, and not all is at it seems surrounding Ash Lynx.)

Summary
And Ash really tried to appease his groom to be, as he was obviously not amused with what Ash had told him the first time around, He supposed anyone would be insulted when their fiancé told them that he would prefer doing anything else than be in a union with them, as if the thought was that repulsive. But honestly, he did try.
And yet, prince Eiji stared at the bouquet with horror, like the item was that revolting simply because it had come from him. He refused to take the flowers, and instead asked him with a cutting voice “Do you really hate me so?” Before walking out on him the second time around.
Now Ash would have immediately fumed at such a reaction if that wasn’t such puzzling in nature. The answer to his confusion was answered by Shorter after he relayed the events to him.
“Flowers have specific meanings here in Izumo, Ash.” He too, stared at the flowers with horror. “Red spider lilies means permanent goodbyes, like when someone dies. Giving it to someone very much healthy is like wishing them bad luck. You basically told him to go die.”
Ah.
Well, how was Ash supposed to know that?!
