I made some recs/announcements on my personal journal, but realized that those of you not on my F-list might not have seen these. I participated in the Yuletide fic fest this year, and there were three fics written about Youka Nitta fandoms: Boku no Koe, Fuyu no Semi, and a Haru/When a Man Loves a Man crossover.

5th-Aug-2008 02:12 am - Fic: The Sleep of the Cicada
Title: The Sleep of the Cicada
Pairing: Akizuki Keiichirou/Kusaka Touma
Universe: Fuyu no Semi
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: The big canon character death in Fuyu? Purple prose spiced with a bit of pretentiousness?
Word count: 1,500
Notes: Nitta-sensei hints in several (canon) places that Iwaki and Katou are indeed Akizuki and Kusaka reincarnated, hence the way they react when they try to get the roles of those two characters. I've played with the idea, but decided to stay in the Fuyu no Semi universe. This fic is partly inspired by Jonathan Steffen's poem "The Falcon to the Falconer" (1992) which is about love that binds, when one cannot let go for the sake of the beloved. Incidentally, falconry and the falcon were also symbols of the Samurai, and of the Edo period that ended with the Boshin war -- the war which is described in Fuyu no Semi and ends with Akizuki-san's defeat at Hakodate.
Summary: "I believe that such a time will come... A time where we can always be together without fear of being caught... Until that time comes, you and I shall sleep the long sleep of the cicada."
