Forced to Let Go

by HPhaeton

Tsuzuki has finally crossed over into afterlife. His shiki have a hard time dealing with the loss, especially Touda. This started out as a oneshot drabble but grew into an ongoing series. That's why I separated it from my YnM drabble collection.

Unexpected Mercy

They don't put him back into his old cell, instead he gets assigned new living quarters. Inside Tenkuu and close to Souryuu's part of the palace, but the rooms are elegant, light and airy.

There's no way Touda could mistake them for a prison.

It takes a small number of servants just one trip to move his few possessions. Souryuu supervises everything with an unreadable expression on his face.

Hours later Touda finds himself owning more furniture and clothes than he had ever possessed in centuries.

He is still too depressed, though, to feel confusion about the dragon's unexpected mercy.
