Title: THE LONE SAMURAI
Character(s)/Pairing(s): Tezuka/Fuji, slight Oshitari/Atobe, with little appearances of other characters.
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: ~4800
Warning(s): Lots of angst. Character’s death(s). But in the original tale, it has kind of a happy ending, so worry not.
Summary: Actually based on The Little Match Girl. “To protect” is not an easy thing to do. Tezuka had learned about it the hard way.
Disclaimer: Any recognizable characters and settings aren’t mine. Any flaws and inaccuracies in historical events, cultures and such, however, are all mine. If you would, disregard those errors, thank you.
A/N: Originally written for perfect_tales for chibikaoruchan. This is the last part, people. And I SWEAR I’m not gonna write anything like this anymore (or at least, for the time being). It’s killing me and my plot bunnies. No, really.
Anyway, this is gonna be a bit long, but if I cut it, the whole atmosphere would be gone, which is bad. So bear with me the last time ne :D

Thanks to applentoast for poking my muse, tacuma811 for being my first reader, and thallein, my dearest beta.

PS: Don’t forget to turn on your music player and play all the angsty/melancholic songs you have there ;)

( Are you also an illusion? )
P.S: HAPPY BIRTHDAY milkyxduckie!!! sorry your present will be late but I hope u'll enjoy this for now :D

Title: THE LONE SAMURAI ~Prologue~
Characters: Tezuka, Fuji, Yuuta, Mention of Yumiko and Fuji's father.
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 2.729
Warning(s): Lots of angst. Character’s death(s). Little bits of tragedy and violence in the prologue, but it shouldn’t be too traumatizing as I tried to keep them at minimum. But in the original tale, it has kind of a happy ending, so worry not. Also, some hyperlinks you can click for explanations if you wish, but they are not essential in the story itself, actually.

A/N: Originally written for chibikaoruchan in perfect_tales. This fic is just too long, so I turn this into a multiparter, for the sake of, well, easy-reading too actually. I don't feel like dumping 10.000 words worth of angst in one go XD;; *shot*
I only post the Prologue now, but don’t worry. This fic is actually finished so I’m able to update soon (hopefully). Anyway I’ve fixed some typos and errors from the original version here.

Special thanks to my first readers, tacuma811 and applentoast. And a lot of thanks to my dearest beta, thallein, you’re a savior.

P.S: I know not of Fuji’s father’s name, so I made it up. Oh, and feel free imagining Tezuka’s glasses. I don’t think they have oval-shaped, rimless glasses at that era.
Oh, and filling your playlist with angsty/melancholic songs might help the atmosphere while reading this :)


( They will live together; for the sake of each other. )


A/N: A detailed review would be very much loved, but any kind of reviews are welcomed <33
If you want to kill me, though, please wait until I post the rest of the fic, ne? >.>
