Why This Must Be Read: Kyoko and Ren star together in a commercial drama short series together, and their chemistry and the success of the shorts place them even more firmly in the spotlight. Another engaging fic for the fandom's overwhelming pairing favorite! This one's use of Kyoko's amazing ability to become her characters grabbed me. Also I enjoyed the unusual rival for her affections--it's not who you'd think! This fic does have some grammar, canon, and cultural errors, but the story and characterization kept me reading.

Genre: Drama, Romance
WIP?: No, complete at 33 chapters, 79,362 words
Setting: Parallel to Always With You above, it's best to have read that fic first.
Special Rec: 26/28
Why This Must Be Read: Kanae and Hio are cast opposite each other in a period film set largely in Australia. Hio dearly wants Kanae, but there's that troublesome age difference. The author handles the problem in a believable way. ^^ Another engaging drama from this author, complete with all grammar and cultural errors mentioned above. Kanae/Hio fic is truly rare, though, and that is what prompted me to rec this one. The in-fic movie takes over the story on occasion, but it's easy to skim if you grow tired of it. I mean...Kanae/Hio fic!!! *swoons*
Mods, I a ship tag for Kotonami Kanae/Uesugi Hio, please! Thank you. :D
