Lovely, lovely. :D The setting is just gorgeous, and there are an impressive number of canon threads woven into the story. I recognized the three main characters listed in the story's tags, and am wondering if I missed some others. Were Dugal and Nevin OC's?
Anyway, I enjoyed the historical aspect of this a great deal. I think my favorite scene was actually the one after the first section break, where Gojyo appears. It had a dreamy, unreal quality that was really quite lovely. And cheers also for the couple of flickers of Kenren that appeared here and there. :D
I know this has been a real project, and all the hard work really shows. I have a little bit of mixed feelings about Koumyou, who seemed a bit more talkative than I generally imagine him to be--but then this situation is also very different from canon, with different interpersonal dynamics. I applaud the originality involved in setting up a space of time where these particular characters could have a unique chance to interact.
Overall a very good read. Thanks for sharing this! :D
