Review:
Four glimpses into the lives of Hikaru and Akira as their relationship grows. I could tell you more, but they're already short and I don't want to spoil anything. Just know that they're all well-written and have a sort of quiet, dreamy feel to them. A rare example of subtle Hikaru no Go fic.

Review:
Another supernatural HnG fic (and, really, I think there's only two of them -- they just happen to be among the longer stories in the fandom). This time Hikaru's being haunted by a malevolent ghost (unlike Sai, who was more of the hyperactive, fluffy bunny variety) and, of course, he turns to Akira for help. Touya doesn't immediately believe him (so bonus points for reality), but once he does, he jumps right in with both feet and a grim determination to research till he finds a solution. Except they get a little distracted by their growing attracting for each other (yay!)

The best part of this fic is the plot, which is something most HnG fic is notoriously lacking. The ghost is also very creepy, and Hikaru's growing terror is very believable. All in all, a good spooky story with just a touch of romance.

Review:
A Go magazine runs a rumor that Touya (Akira) and Shindou (Hikaru) are gay for each other. Shindou is shocked (*shocked*, I tell you) that there might be *gasp* gay people out there and in response suggests that Touya try and nip the rumors in the bud by getting a short haircut and wearing manlier clothes. Touya does and poor Shindou nearly has a breakdown before figuring out that there might be some truth to those rumors. 

This is probably my favorite (and most supported by canon -- after all, it's not like Touya and Shindou date or even socialize outside of each other) gay-realization story of any fandom. There's some freaking out, of course, but no sense of disgust or horror and both of the characters are young enough that there isn't a midlife crisis feel to the way they come to terms with their sexual orientation. Plus, humor in abundance, which is always a plus. If only the story were longer...

Review:
I've learned a few things while trying to come up with anime recs for this community:
-Anime fandoms don't believe in headers,
-or telling you their main pairing,
-or giving any warnings at all (like, say, I don't know...character death)
-Also, most anime fic (with the exception of Samurai Champloo and, possibly, Hikaru no Go) is written by kids too young to legally read what they're writing, and it shows.

All of which boils down to this: sorry it took so long to post my first anime rec, but I worked my butt off to come up with something good, so I order you to enjoy it.

Ahem. That said, Bloodstone actually is a very good fic and not just by anime fic standards. For one thing, the premise is plausible (considering the HnG universe, anyway -- if you can have ghosts, why not vampires?) For another, the writing is sharp and polished. Best of all, the characters are beautifully written: multi-dimensional, with conflicts and friendships and rivalries all jumbled together, just like in real life.

The story: Hikaru gets turned into a vampire. Who does he tell? Touya, of course, because if you want a solution to any problem, Touya should be your go-to man. And Touya comes up with a workable solution to that whole blood-sucking thing (and, man, I never realized just how *sexy* biting could be till I read this fic) and it seems like all is going to work out. Well, until Waya finds out. Heh.

Hikaru no Go is an addictive manga that I highly recommend even if you don't read manga (which is pretty impressive, considering it's based on a *board game*). You can check it out here. Give it one volume (about eight chapters). If you aren't completely sucked in, I'll eat my (metaphorical) hat.
