Thank you. Having Gojyo born with albinism seemed like a good way to have some of the same effect as his hair and eyes in canon (and to give him the red eyes). The main story is set a couple decades in the future, and progressing very slowly, but I do have ideas for some more university prequels.
It is! It is! I have Vietnamese family members (and used to live with them, so had Vietnamese food a lot--it really is an amazing cuisine, and I try to give it props whenever I can in my stories).
Glad you enjoyed this. I will endeavor to produce more of Joe and his octopus hands. And work in some Komyo, too.
Vietnamese food is sooo much better and healthier than American food pho sure. We'll toast to you and yours this Friday - or Phoriday, as we call it ;)
And... all about the Koumyou luv! Or not love. However you wish to write him. (Read a story where Koumyou orders Sanzo shot and killed WHICH BROKE MY BRAIN. Good story, none the less.)
Of this one, thanks for the music angle. You weave it into the scene as gracefully as you do the backstory. In fact, your style is quite musical.
And the end...*melts*
I like the Vietnamese props. Also, good idea to make Gojyo albino. I'll miss red hair and different-sort-of-red eyes, but I like black hair and violet eyes on Kenren, and I'm sure I'll like white hair on Joe.
Thank you! So glad you are enjoying. The main story is, alas, a mystery, and thus requires plot as opposed to just characters hanging out doing stuff (as is typical for my stories). It's taking a very long time to write. And my detectives (Craig Bernstein and Charley Chrishunds from Vassalord) keep trying to take over. I think they need their own story.
I am going to write and post some more uni days prequels though--started one on the train today.
I'm a huge fan of contemporary classical music in particular and went to two schools that had music conservatories (though I was not a "connie" at either) so it is great fun for me to put them into this milieu.
With it being the 80s, it made sense for Harry to have been a "boat person." And I have some family connections to Vietnamese culture that I'm enjoying getting to draw on.
The main fic is biggish and oddish (some parts of the narrative are news stories and police reports and such). I'm just not sure about letting the detectives have any pov time. May just have to write some unrelated Vassalord NYPD AU stories.
Glad you liked the glimpses of their interactions with Sanzo. Hakkai kind of needs to be on parole. Dealing with Hakkai's backstory here is even tougher than in GWYM since this is an entirely realistic setting.

Great descriptions as always (octopus hands! haha!) Any sequels are sure to be welcome :)

Ow, I think that Komyo story might break my heart. There is definitely Komyo love in the air . . . some of it more carnal than not.

Joe could always decide to dye his hair red . . .

Couple of very nice touches; 'Sanzo coolly shooting [Gojyo] down',and Hakkai being on parole.
Delighted to hear about the new uni stories. Yet another reason to support public over private transport.

Did my first writing lesson with my current cohort of students today. Your icon is giving me flashbacks.
