A short story of about 20,000 characters, updated daily.
Mikazuki x Kogitsunemaru (no top/bottom roles involved)
OOC warning.
There are lots of headcanons. I made up the places they sortie to and the Honmaru's setting and circumstances. I don't know much about history either, so there will be lots of mistakes. Please forgive me.
I'm not sure about Japanese forms of address and honorifics in everyday life, so the sword boys won't use honorifics when addressing one another, except for the little shorts.
The writing is really choppy, the transitions between paragraphs and scenes are awkward, and the plot is driven mostly by dialogue, but I really did my best.
I originally wanted to make it more angsty, but it didn't turn out that way. It may just be a little gloomy.
PS:
Unlike the official setting, I gave them their own consciousness before the swords manifested in the Honmaru, so I could write about what happened before they met there. I also ignored the setting that Kogitsunemaru loves his master very much.
According to the official setting, Grandpa is 180 cm tall and Fox Ball is 188 cm.
There are many accounts of their ages. According to The Little Swordsmith, Fox Ball was forged during Emperor Ichijo's reign, and Grandpa was born around then too. So I decided they were both born during Emperor Ichijo's reign, with Kogitsunemaru born first and Grandpa afterward.
I've also seen some say Grandpa never went to battle, while others say he did. For this story, I've decided he didn't.
If I've touched on any other squicks without mentioning them here, please let me know. I'll add them if I see your message.
