Prologue for Life the Saitoh/Fujita Way

This is a collection of short 'drabbles' about the Fujitas/Saitohs (Hajime and Tokio) that I originally wrote for Live Journal's 30Romances. Each short story was written for one of the 30 Romances themes, and will be posted as a chapter here on FanFiction after it is first posted to the 30Romances LJ website.

These ficlets may seem to overlap and be somewhat redundant, but my goal was to fulfill the 30Romance requirements, not make a chaptered story with continuity. Each chapter is a 'stand alone' ficlet, although some are related to each other, and appear in a sequence of sorts.

Each of these shorts evolved from a short, two chapter one-shot called, "The First Time I Saw Your Face", that I originally posted here on the Fan Fiction website. It describes my fictional account of the first time that this couple laid eyes on each other. These musings may make more sense if you read that story first. Just check for it in the story links that are on my profile page.

These are just vignettes about two people, how they met, how they feel, what happened between them, and perhaps a little glimpse of their family life. Many are written from Tokio's point of view, and therefore have a somewhat 'WAF' quality to them. Her husband is often thought of as 'heartless' or 'emotionless', at least in public, but I see her as being his opposite. When things are told from her perspective, this will be evident. I also see him as having a softer side, but only when it concerns his wife or children.

If you want to read what I have written about the life of Hajime and Tokio in 'sequence' here is the order. As I add chapters to Life the Saitoh Fujita Way and related one-shots, I will update the following list:

The First Time I Saw Your Face

Life the Saitoh Fujita Way Chapters 2, 3, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11

Tales in Tonami

Life the Saitoh Fujita Way Chapters 12, 4, 5, 17, 18

With Friends Like These, Who Needs Enemies

A Long Awaited Reunion

Life the Saitoh Fujita Way Chapters 6, 20, 13

Another Battle for the Wolf

Life the Saitoh Fujita Way Chapters 14, 22, 23, 24, 19, 15, 21, 16

Standard disclaimers apply. I don't own the Saitohs/Fujitas; they are an historical couple, so in my opinion, only their family should be able to own them.
