Collection Title: .blossoms and shadows
Chapter Title: .phoenix on a dusty road
Character(s): Himura Kenshin, Yukishiro Tomoe
Rating: T (PG-13). Rating may go up in later chapters.
Prompt: fc_smorgasbord prompt .81 –- unguarded touch.
Author's Note: All of these chapters are set within the confines of the Blossoms and Shadows universe, within the canon of Rurouni Kenshin. What if the feared hitokiri Battousai, the wise, kindhearted wanderer and the lost, grieving child had been a woman, in those times of war and sweeping change? This is my humble answer to the lack of decent fem!Kenshin stories, especially ones that don't jump through hoops in order to avoid writing same-sex relationships between women.
Warnings: disjointed stream-of-consciousness narrative ahoy.
