Sequel to Power, Perceived. In the aftermath of the Revolution, Kaoru and Kenshin must learn who they are outside the war, who they are together, and how to make a new way of life. AU, drabble collection.

A/N: SAKABATO FANGIRLING ACTIVATE.

"A sakabato? A reversed blade?" Running his long fingers over the blade, Kenshin looks positively dumbfounded. "I've never seen anything like it."

"It's impractical," he sounds positively joyous to say. "It's perfect."

Kaoru beams.
