Guzheng exam ended earlier today. *checks date* Well, yesterday. I don't even know if I passed, because I made quite a few mistakes--but at least it's over; I've been stressing about it for weeks.

In celebration, I went looking for Hikago fic.

My humble unworthy self, by esama. I love this fic like whoa. It has some of the things that normally give me pause in Hikago fics: amnesia, Sai comes back, Heian shrine to Sai, and Sai/Hikaru, because those aren't always convincingly done, but that's not true in this case. I love the author's characterisation of Hikaru most of all, and the way the story comes together--perhaps a little fast in terms of pacing--but so lovely and satisfying. There are a few grammar hiccups, but nothing major.

Tips on Being a Pedophile Without Looking Like One, by Moonlight Memories. If just reading that title makes a certain Hikago character's name pop into your mind, you might like reading this. But be warned: while it's funny, it's not at all flattering to that character.

Non-Hikago fic:

Take Liberties, Jeeves/Wooster, by

thehoyden. Beautifully done.
