Review:
Post-series, Jin finds himself wandering aimlessly, picking up easy bodyguarding jobs and being bored out of his mind. That all changes the day the ship he is on is attacked by pirates. Guess who Jin finds among the invaders? Soon Jin is a pirate (sort of), enjoying sex with the captain (um, that would be Mugen), and trying to fish (he still sucks at it). So why isn't he happy?

I love this fic for so many reasons. For one, it's probably the most realistic (well, aside from the slash; then again, this *is* Samurai Champloo) outcome I can imagine for Jin (becoming a bodyguard) and Mugen (becoming a pirate) and it's amazing how well Jin's conversion to piratism is handled. Even better is his relationship with Mugen, which is hot and passionate and yet totally confusing to poor Jin, who hasn't had much experience with either emotion in his life. A fascinating story on many levels.
