Parallels Post

Hello, Parallels author! Since you were assigned me, you either really like Shinsengumi stuff, or share my taste in in RE characters. But the odds are probably on Shinsengumi. While I know I put prompts down, I would basically be happy with anything that isn't horribly bittersweet because oh my god playing through routes in Hakuouki is like repeatedly punching myself in the soul. I just want happy. Also, an alternative to any of the Shinsengumi prompts - Souji or Hijikata and their families. Which would be delving into headcanon, I realize, but go for it, seriously. This site has historical information. Hakuouki is a dating sim with an anime adaptation - copies can be found online of both, buuut I'm going to try to keep blatantly illegal things out of this post *g* The plot is sort of ridiculous, but I love the characterization despite it. Peacemaker Kurogane started (and is still running) as a manga series, and also has an anime adaptation of the first five manga volumes (which... were published under a different title. Confusing, I know). Funimation has the anime online (or on youtube, for those outside the US), and Tokyopop was releasing the manga before they imploded, but some scans are linked here now that the manga is out of print. Kaze Hikaru is my favorite of the three, because there's so much detail put into the research, and the writer is willing to flesh out the universe with fill-in stories to historical facts. Unfortunately even if I wanted to link scans (it's currently being translated by Viz very very slowly), the fanbase is bitsy so they don't exist. BUT IT'S REALLY GOOD.

If you got matched on me for RE I'm... sorry.... That was my hideously self-indulgent pairing choice. My headcanon for them is based off of RE2 and RE4 (I haven't played 5 or 6 yet), and I tend to think of Leon/Ada as being my personal canon. ALTERNATIVELY you can write me self-indulgent Leon/Dante instead? HUGE DORKS FOREVER.
