    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

    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

    “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?”

    Summary

    When Takayoshi had extended that overture to Mizu, the one where he offered her a place to stay after a spat of assassination attempts on Akemi’s life, he had known that she would be spending many nights in Akemi’s bed. That was the intention, really—everyone knew, though few spoke of it, that the assassins had been hired by Takayoshi’s own mother and had the unfettered access that came with her privilege. Who better of a bodyguard than a blood-soaked samurai in love with his wife?

    What he hadn’t expected was sharing that bed with both of them, and wishing he shared Taigen's as well.

    Or: all Mizu has ever wanted was love. She found it, small and delicate, but burning all the same, in the palms of not one, but two of the most unexpected people in her life.
