1. Snowfall by Natsu chan [Reviews - 0] (1056 words)
 

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters of RK I am only borrowing them.

Authors’ notes: Needless to say Australia doesn't get a lot of snow, in fact where I live it never snows. Because of this and the fact that it's an 8 hour round trip to the nearest snow in winter, I've only seen the white stuff twice in my life.

I've grilled a lot of my Northern Hemisphere friends about snow so the following is based on second hand knowledge. I hope it's reasonably accurate. Please read and review.

2. Snowbound by Natsu chan [Reviews - 0] (1019 words)

Author’s notes: This was meant to be just a single one shot but I had a little voice insisting I write this second piece to finish it off. So here, we are please read and review.

3. Snowdrift by Natsu chan [Reviews - 0] (2036 words)
 

Authors note: Needless to say, I have some strange theories about Hiko, but I don’t think our much loved red head is that much different from his master. Just a little more modest….and not much more modest at that. It’s mentioned in the manga and the anime that Hiko knew what Kenshin had been up to during the revolution, so we can safely assume he kept tabs on Kenshin one way or another. There’s also that grave scene at the end of the Kyoto arc. Keep in mind however that this is just one of numerous possibilities.

Oh and yes, I know I swore to myself blue and blind that Snowfall was a one shot, then a double one shot but I’ve been foiled again. Part of me hopes this is the last of it because I have other things I’d like to work on, but in the end, I guess that’s not up to me. I guess if worse comes to worse I can always gag him can’t I?

My thanks to Maigo-chan without her RK manga translations a lot of us would have no access to the manga at all. Please read and review.

4. Snow cloud by Natsu chan [Reviews - 0] (2348 words)
Author’s notes: Yep yet another chapter for this fic, I’m starting to wonder where it will end. Each time I think I’m finished I end up writing another chapter, which considering Snowfall started out as a one shot is rather odd. My one shots generally stay just that, but oh well never mind. Not quite sure how well done this is in relation to the earlier chapters so I’d love some constructive input.

This chapter was written for the Meiji tales October challenge. Please read and review.

5. Snowstorm by Natsu chan [Reviews - 0] (2480 words)

Author’s notes: I’ll admit this chapter took quite sometime, though most of it was written in the week and a half before Christmas. Unfortunately due to my health and the holiday season…never mind the heat, (I don’t know about you but the last thing I want to do in 40C plus weather is type on a computer) it just got pushed aside. Anyway, all that aside here it is. Hopefully my piecemeal writing hasn’t affected it too much... I have to say this has been one of the most persistent fics I’ve ever written every time I think it’s finished I end up adding a bit more. I’m thinking there’s one more chapter to go before I’m finished but needless to say, we’ll see! I hope you enjoy it please read and review.

6. Snow dust by Natsu chan [Reviews - 0] (2321 words)
 

Author’s notes: Well I’ll admit this took me a lot longer than I intended. This chapter has been an absolute monster to write, at first I couldn’t get the mood right then I had all sorts of other nagging problems with it too. Kenshin’s far more trouble when he’s awake. I’m still not sure I’m completely satisfied with it.

This whole fic has been a bit of an experiment on my part from day one. I’ve tried really hard to connect the mood of each chapter with Kenshin’s state of mind, and I’m not really sure that I succeeded. It does sound a bit bitty in places. Still, I think it’s turned out fairly well for all that. I think there’s possibly one more chapter and an epilogue left to go. The next chapter is already in the works so hopefully it won’t take anything like as long as this one. I’d really love to hear what you think of all this so please take the time to read and review.

7. Smoke and snow by Natsu chan [Reviews - 0] (2640 words)
 

Author’s notes: I hadn’t really intended this to take so long but between starting this chapter and finishing it, the eldest of my two collies became quite worryingly unwell. She’s 15 so when she does show signs of ill health it’s a concern and to be honest all thoughts of RK and fan fics fled from my mind. The old lady is back to usual self now thank goodness.

Anyway, what with all that, I’ve done my best on this chapter but I think it might well be a little choppy in places, as I had a lot of trouble concentrating at times. Also I know someone will mention the scene in the ova of Kenshin cremating Tomoe (presumably anyway) by burning down the house they were living in. That scene doesn’t fit well with me, somehow, as much as I love the ovas I just find the idea of Kenshin being that disrespectful hard to swallow. It’s not as if he owned the house and I don’t think Katsura did either and I just can’t see Kenshin torching such a valuable thing when it doesn’t even belong to him. Still that’s just my view hence the difference in this fic. Also although this is the final chapter I’m planning an epilogue as well, but it might not be what you’d expect. Thank you all so much for your encouragement and input, I certainly hope this chapter doesn’t disappoint anyone. Please do read and review.
