Wow. Thank you ever so much, Naphy. I haven't read much RK fic, but part of it stems from my being one of those weirdos in this fandom who isn't into Aoshi/Misao or Kenshin/Kaoru by any means. And fic fic? I don't know where to start. It's all just jdfsdklfjdsklfjdsflj sdlvkjdklf ♥.

Although, as I mentioned to MsCongeniality, I tend mainly to read gen or Kaoru-gen (or, actually, Bakumatsu and pre-Bakumatsu gen), my secret, guilty pairing loves in RK are Kaoru/Aoshi and Kaoru/Saitou. It's not easy to find non-'canon' pairings, I know. I could try to have a look for you, but I haven't had much luck myself. Hence the gen :) Although, even though it's a canon-pairing, I really do like "The Hitokiri and the Spy' that I recced on the alt-reality rec list. It's one of the darkest ones I've come across, which surprises me since RK has so much fun, dark-fic potential. But that's an entirely different rant :)

I really did enjoy the opportunity to write this though- the plot bunny ate my brain :)

It's all just jdfsdklfjdsklfjdsflj sdlvkjdklf

Er... That's a good thing? I hope?

I can probably count on two hands the number of RK fics I've read. Partly, I don't really know where to find good genfic. I keep forgetting about that AR you recced, so thanks for the reminder.

Plot bunnies eating the brain would be good in this situation. ^_^

Er... That's a good thing? I hope?

Hahaha. Keysmash is a habit I've developed over the past year, particularly the last seven months. It's like, you find yourself unable to express in proper words just how strongly you feel about something, so you just keysmash. In this case it's very positive, although one can keysmash out of frustration.

Hmmm... I just recced Krista to MsCongeniality for the genfic. She was the first RK writer I read an I believe that her stuff still stands up. She's here.

And thank you for the explanation. I am so tired I was staring at the random letters trying to determine if they were actually supposed to spell something ;)
