Disclaimer: I don't own a thing! Mulan and respective characters are © Disney, who (it must be noted) borrowed liberally from Chinese folklore.

Author's Note: Yes, the entire premise is a bit daft — especially now, some eight years later — but it was one of my first attempted fics, so I have a soft spot for it. It's my aim to try and pick up from where I left off (with a bit of rewrite/revision), and see this to the end. I'm gratified by any kind of readership.
