Osozaki Blooms is the sequel to Sacred Trust and picks up about seven years after that fic leaves off. This fic can be read without reading Sacred Trust first, but it makes more sense if you've read Sacred Trust. For the most part, I'm true to the storyline (and yes, there are spoilers ^_^) but at certain parts I take a wild swing off of it. Hey, that's what fics are for, ne? ^_^ Anyway, This fic is unfinished, though I do intend to finish it eventually. (Sure, that's what you always say, Renee... ^_^) *ahem* Well, uh, yeah - that's all I really had to say about these fics... *g* I know, get on with it, already, right?

March 29, 2009: So, as those of you who have been paying attention know, I have decided to rewrite this monster. As I've been saying for years, the first several chapters are not up to my current standard of writing and make me cringe to re-read them. There is no way I can finish a work when I feel that strongly about my distate for the first half of it. So, rather than scrap the whole project, I'm just going to start from the beginning and rebuild the thing from the bottom up. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I'm enjoying rewriting it! ^_^

This is a short and sweet songfic about Hotohori and Nuriko, told from Hotohori's point of view. It is set to "The Wind Beneath My Wings" by Bette Midler. This fic takes place just after the seishi leave on the boat to go to Hokkan. There are mild spoilers - mostly character spoilers for Nuriko if you haven't seen up to ep. 8 or so. I'm contemplating a fic to follow up this songfic - 'cuz some people were bugging me to write one... ^_^ You know who you are... But, I figure I'll let that lie for a while. Hope you enjoy the fic! (Added: March 7, 1999)

OK - everyone's entitled to a little silliness now and again, ne? I saw this musical over Thanksgiving and absolutely fell in love with it. *smiles* Eventually, I'll put up a summary of the actual story so that people have an idea of what they're getting into before they read this fic, but it's 4 AM and I've been studying for a Calc final for too long... :-P Anyway, I just wanted to put up this little teaser for people to peek at. ^_^ Basically, this will be the story of the Scarlet Pimpernel with the Fushigi Yuugi cast taking the place of all the main characters - and instead of being set in France and England, it's set in Kutou and Konan. I've been having a lot of fun writing this and I hope you have as much reading it. Hopefully it won't take me too long to finish and won't take me away from Osozaki Blooms for too long... *smiles* Oh - and thanks to Kai Ling and Nellie for helping me cast the roles for this fic. *grins* I think that's everything...
