So, sorry, still not over how good this is. I've recently gotten back into Fruits Basket (thanks to JesuOtaku's excellent fan-produced radio drama, which I would highly recommend if you're not already listening to it) and I couldn't help but re-read this story.

Just a quick question--since you wrote them so marvelously I trust your taste, I have to ask: do you have any recs for these two? Maybe it's because it's a series targeted to young teenage girls (I was one once and my fics then were pretty terrible) but the vast majority of Shigure/Akito fics I've been able to find are crap. I've actually been thinking of writing some of my own--and I'm not in fandom for this series really at all--because there seems to be such a dearth of fic. Funny, since their relationship is one of the more important and interesting ones in the series. Like, assuming that everyone in the family would want to go to Kyo and Tohru's eventual wedding, how would Akito and Shigure deal with that? How would everyone else in the family deal with them as a couple (I can see reactions varying from WTF to outright disgust)? WHY HAS NO ONE WRITTEN THIS?

Anyway, you seem like one of the most intelligent Fruits Basket fans I've interacted with online, so I was curious if you had any favorites.
