Review: Rainbow Sherbert isn't a story I would usually read, much less rec. A good deal of the story is taken up by sex scenes and the story begins with partner betrayal and the discovery that both Meiran and Wufei have Aids.

What made me fall in love with this story is what happens after that. Treize has fallen in love with Wufei and won't let him go even when they both know that their relationship is doomed. This knowledge adds a poignancy and immediacy to their love story. And Wufei's death, while not a surprise is still heartbreaking. Treize's reaction to the loss even more so.

Tzigane and Zaganthi are two of my favorite authors because of their ability to write stories that are both angst ridden and every day. This story runs the gambit from slice of life drama involving eccentric cats and antique beds, to steamy romance, and finally to heartbreaking tragedy. If you read this fic, be sure to have tissues on hand, because the final chapter is a complete tearjerker
