Nu#03. A deal is a deal. („Embracing life“ by manaika)

No.: 03
Name: Embracing life
Author: manaika
Series: Hakuoki
Pairing: Shinpachi/Sanosuke
Rating: 14/15 of age for the themes, but no graphic scenes appear
Warnings: It starrs Shiranui, so it should be obvious. Blood, drinking blood, killing, themes of life and death...(It sounds like a massacre, but it’s not, I swear)
Summary: Made for 30kisses, list Nu/acquisition. Shinpachi and Sanosuke deal with their love, their lives and with the changing times. 03: Shiranui comes to remind Sanosuke of their deal. And with so many reasons to leave, you just do what you have to do.
Disclaimer: I do not own Hakuoki, or any of it’s characters. The creators do. My muse owns the idea of the fic, myself the work and the time I put into writing it. Credit me at least those, ok?

Author’s notes

No, I actually don’t have the time to write this. Yes, I should be working on something else, namely my thesis. I really love this challenge, don’t I?

Set during the early Meiji Restoration, during Shinpachi’s time under the protection of Matsumae in Edo. The historical facts as they appear in the fic are checked and in a large quantity taken from this site.
Also, this fic points back to several previous chapters of the challenge, namely „Meet me there“, „Rear guard“ and „Wearing the attire“. Most of the early Meiji chapters will do that, so if you haven’t read the Hekketsu-roku chapters, or have forgotten the details, at least scroll over them again. It gives a nice whole, when you do, however, it is not recquired in order to understand the chapter. There will be one more Hekketsu-roku chapter, but I haven’t started writing it yet and since my time is limited now, I decided to work on those chapters I have at least written a line in. Once I have the time I’ll write it, prioriticised.

All of the previously mentioned chapters, along with the rest of the challenge, can be found HERE
