Kenshin from 1868 to 1878. I stick to realism. Starts 'angsty', but will gradually mellow some. The first chapter can stand alone as a oneshot.

This is one of my absolute favorite Rurouni Kenshin fanfictions. Ever. I could be biased because I'm one of the people who gets to poke at it before it goes up on the 'net, but aside from that it is a remarkably well-written story. I don't think I've ever read a better characterization of Saitou, and it's definitely on the list of "Best Battousai Characterizations... EVER!" as well. Loads of action and drama, and there's a brilliant undertone of sarcastic humor that Nekotsuki is -so- good at working into her stories. I don't think you'll ever read a story quite like this one in the Rurouni Kenshin section. If you haven't already, I highly recommend that you check it out.
