Summary
The day after Akemi arrives in LA on a greyhound with a backpack half-full of a handle of her father's best whiskey, she wakes up on a beach, colder than she expected to be, to an ash-black sky and the red unblinking eye of the sun. There's a fire in the hills. She thinks she’s died for a second, and what scares her is the prospect that there is an after—that’s always what’s scared her, the is of things, not the possibility of isn’t.

Summary
Akemi, disowned and disgraced after getting caught having a secret affair with Taigen, struggles to live out in the open and find her way. She yearns to live just as Taigen had, but she fears that she is too fragile and weak to make it out there. She knows she can't do it alone- Not without someone experienced. She thinks all hope is lost for her- That is, until she discovered a Samurai just skilled and heartless enough to make it out there in a world just as cruel and vicious as "he".

Summary
One look and Mizu's whole world view begins to tremble... then shatter. The meeting of eyes with Princess Akemi feels like a slow poison that might suffocate Mizu.
She wants her. She needs to have her, with the same need that she feels for the death of the white devils.-

Summary
No matter what, Akemi's not going back. She’s not. Not after enduring everything she has. Seki be damned; she wasn’t giving up and going back to Kyoto. It had been nearly two weeks since she’d left, and despite the cold, the men, and the threats she’d faced, this life still bode far fairer for her than becoming the bride of that disgusting, sadistic shogun’s son.
If Mizu – another man – wouldn’t stand up for her even after she’d saved his life, then fuck him. He could go die, too. No man in all of Edo could be trusted, and she needed to remember this.
OR: What if Akemi had fought back? What if Mizu didn't let the guards haul Akemi off?

Summary
“And what do you know about it? You are a man. You don't get it.”
She lowered her head and raised her brows at Akemi's reply. There was an idea. Maybe she didn't know. She may have been born a baby girl, but that meant nothing. She spent more of her life as a man than not. Everyone saw her as one. She even saw herself as one most of the time. She didn't know what it was like to be a woman in this world. Not really. She wouldn't pretend like she did. She wouldn't patronise the princess. That wasn't her goal. “I know because I'm a man."
Or
The brothel scene but Mizu and Akemi bond a little bit, fight, and kiss. Not in that particular order.

Summary
Do not speak. Do not look. Do not touch. Do not fear the dark.
Mizu had a very odd childhood, one where talking and being seen was never allowed, where living in the forest was safety, and her mother was her only salvation. Some say these things might have helped Mizu become the person she is now. Some say that the blood of the forest lives within her veins, that it’s the reason she lives when others fail to survive in this new harrowing world.
The collapse of society is quick, but not painless. It happens in less than five days. Then everything ceases to continue. Everything collapses, leaving the world in a misshapen wasteland of what it used to be. When They came, people had to choose between survival or a gruesome death. And survival was not easy to find when it came to the monsters that now hunts every human they see, or any human who sees Them.
Seven years later, and Mizu is still trying to pick apart a life that once was, a life that she is currently living, the fate of those around her, and the people who started it all.-

Summary
Jiyuu (自由)
Freedom or liberty, representing the state of being free from constraints or restrictions.What if Akemi was married off to a new lord of Sendai domain (Mizu unknown to her) who had taken up that offer at the pass and ended up engaged to Akemi to both keep up appearances and also in guilt of her actions against her, yet still hellbent on revenge all the while.
Slowburn, ENDGAME: Mizu/Akemi
ft. commission art by @omint///
In the garden Akemi's gaze lingers on the pair of cranes, watching as their heads bow together in greeting. The sight should be warming, an auspicious sighting particularly on a wedding day and yet Akemi finds herself suddenly rueful. Ash from the shrine lingers on her wedding kimono, the scent overpowering even now as they kneel for the banquet for their honour. Something shy of conflict had flickered across her betrothed face as they had recited the marriage rites. A haunted fear to his eye when he’d locked eyes with her briefly, those amber glasses on his face even now. For a man who had no doubt slaughtered many men, Akemi can’t help but ponder why a marriage ceremony would be the thing that weakened him.

Summary
(uses she/her pronouns)
When Mizu was told of her betrothal, she was prepared to spend the rest of her life shackled to a man. And though this was the case, she found comfort and a hidden longing to be loved by you: a simple houseworker of Mikio whose everyday life was nothing but chores and staying out of his way.
When she is betrayed by her husband/mother, and is led to believing you had died, she abandons her domestic life and becomes the cold samurai we know and love. Little does she know, you somehow live, and when she invades Fowler's castle seeking revenge, she encounters a familiar not-so-familiar face who helps her seek revenge. -

Summary
After so many fruitless attempts to capture the blue eye samurai, Empress Akemi is finally successful. However, it quickly becomes apparent that the samurai will not join forces with her so easily, despite sharing common enemies. Furthermore, the art of seduction may be rendered useless, making it even harder for the stubborn empress to get what she wants. Further yet, it looks like the samurai has taken a hold of her heart before she could steal his.

Blue Eye Samurai - The Fox and The Wolf by Moonsong95
Fandoms: Blue Eye Samurai (Cartoon)

Summary
Mizu's quest for revenge has led her to London to hunt down 2 more powerful white men, among them, the man who sired her. She keeps her true identity concealed by dressing as a man, maintaining a lone-wolf approach. Until she meets "Kit" who was taken from Japan years earlier and sold into prostitution under Routely. Though subjected to horrific treatment, Kit’s spirit and intellect remained unbroken. After escaping, she built a small underground resistance composed mainly of young women and a few men determined to rescue others from exploitation and dismantle the trafficking network. Within London’s underbelly, Kit’s group becomes notorious for their cunning methods; she is dubbed “The Fox” for her sly tactics.
Ultimately, their story is one of two fiercely independent and wounded individuals whose shared trauma and overlapping objectives repeatedly draw them together. Over time, there is a growing respect between them. Mizu’s relentless quest for revenge intersects with Kit’s broader fight to protect victims and expose the men responsible. Their tenuous alliance hints at deeper feelings lying beneath the surface though for now, they remain wary of one another.

Summary
Taigen grabbed Mizu’s hand. It was the first time he held Mizu's hand so tenderly, immediately stopping him in his tracks.
“We’re not done yet.”
“I know.”
Taigen loosened his grip and let Mizu pull his hand away as he sprinted after Fowler. Taigen had to use every ounce of his willpower to fight the urge to get up and run after him.
Mizu had told him to go to the north sewer to find Akemi and run away with her. He had told him that honor was meaningless and the path of the samurai only leads to death. But his reason for wanting to run after Mizu was not honor. He wanted to fight next to him, to protect him and ensure he could kill Fowler without dying in the process.
____Mizu told Taigen to go find Akemi, but what if he goes after Mizu instead? Slight canon divergence at the end of Season 1.
I mostly use female pronouns for Mizu, but for sections that mainly reflect Taigen’s thoughts, I use male pronouns until the reveal.

Miyohime turns away, leaving her daughter confused and alone in the mud, blood still spouting in crimson volutes over her pale skin, trailing in willow boughs down her arms.
She does not cry.
It is worth it.

Summary
After all that Akemi has worked to build in Edo comes to naught, Mizu reappears and offers her an unexpected path to a new life.
A complicated love story.
This is me basically writing my ideal version of Season 2 as I bide my time waiting for the show to come back.
Disclaimer: this has nothing to do with artificial intelligence. Ai is a Japanese word. 😂

Summary
“Do you think me a blushing maiden, Mizu?”
Again, Akemi’s question caught Mizu off guard. This time though, Mizu let out a bark of incredulous laughter. Is that what Akemi truly thought? Banter was familiar ground for them both, an easy way out that Mizu gladly took.
“Not at all,” Mizu quipped back as her hands settled once more upon Akemi’s hips. “Do you think me a wolf, come to despoil you of your innocence?”

Summary
Amidst the academic whirlwind of Tokyo Daigaku, Miyamoto Mizu, a talented young aspiring tattoo artist, and Joseon "Choi", a Korean medical student with an impulsive temperament and a diagnosis of Asperger's, find themselves confronted with an unexpected situation that will change their lives forever. Mizu, always determined to make her mark in the world of body art, sees her artistic future fall apart after an affair with Choi results in an unwanted pregnancy.
Two worlds collide, without warning, through a chance encounter on a rainy night. This chance is not kind—it breaks down doors, knocks down walls, and exposes truths no one asked to hear. This is not a story Mizu would draw on a canvas, nor the future that Choi, meticulous in his discipline, tried to predict. Yet here they are, all face and courage, stepping into a reality they did not choose, but which they must now call life.

Summary
“Hear me out, please? Taigen won’t leave me alone. He’s convinced that we’re still together, even though I ended it with him months ago. He won’t let it lie, and the second I leave this room I know for a fact that he will follow me all the way to school, and he’ll put his arm around my shoulders and I can’t do it again,” Akemi pauses, catching her breath. Mizu’s mind begins to cuss out Taigen, as though it is its main function. It may as well be, considering the tirade it goes off on every time Taigen opens his useless mouth.
Akemi started again, “So, I was thinking. Wouldyoubewillingtopretendtobedatingmesoheleavesmealone?”
Mizu blinked, slowly. “What?”
