Summary
Jiyuu (自由): Meaning freedom or liberty, representing the state of being free from constraints or restrictions.
What if Akemi was married off to the new lord of Sendai (Mizu unknown to her) who had taken up that offer by Heiji at the pass and ended up engaged to Akemi to both keep up appearances and also in guilt of her actions against her, yet still hellbent on revenge all the while.
Slowburn, ENDGAME: Mizu/Akemi
ft. commission artworks by @omint///
In the garden Akemi's gaze lingers on the pair of cranes, watching as their heads bow together in greeting. The sight should be warming, an auspicious sighting particularly on a wedding day and yet Akemi finds herself suddenly rueful. Ash from the shrine lingers on her wedding kimono, the scent overpowering even now as they kneel for the banquet for their honour. Something shy of conflict had flickered across her betrothed face as they had recited the marriage rites. A haunted fear to his eye when he’d locked eyes with her briefly, those amber glasses on his face even now. For a man who had no doubt slaughtered many men, Akemi can’t help but ponder why a marriage ceremony would be the thing that weakened him.

Summary
Canon Divergence from last ep!!
A desperate lone survivor, Akemi, didn't consider Mizu anywhere close to a friend as he had watched her abduction without acting on it. Taigen had left her. However, she couldn’t rule Edo alone. Under dire circumstances, she had requested Mizu help her.
Mizu was hesitant as he was set on his path for revenge, but Akemi convinced him that with her influence she would be beneficial in helping him hunt down the remaining two white men.

Summary
“What is he seeking.” Mizu seethes, she can feel her breath slowing. She presses further and watches as more blood marks her sword.
“His daughter’s hand in marriage! A compatible husband!”
This catches Mizu completely off guard. She stumbles on the ice-slicked road and barely manages to catch herself in time before nearly impaling the man.
Or
Mizu is a wanted man after obliterating the Shindo Dojo and their best samurai. Instead of becoming a prisoner like she might’ve guessed, the Tokunobu lord offers his daughter’s hand in marriage.

Summary
One look and Mizu's whole world view begins to tremble... then shatter. The meeting of eyes with Princess Akemi feels like a slow poison that might suffocate Mizu.
She wants her. She needs to have her, with the same need that she feels for the death of the white devils.Bookmarked by steelsilver

Summary
Once adopted by the old fishing village, Downriver, she was then taught to sound out vowels and hold a pen accordingly. She has always written her name all the same: Běi, straight and direct and blunt, the strokes the aftermath of how quickly she writes her name, as quick as how she wants things done, and then Dǒu, the more complicated character for six-year old Beidou, who already had a loose tooth from diving in shallow waters mouth first. It took her a while to get the hang of writing the second character as accurately as she wanted, sounding it out as she practiced the strokes.
Or: Beidou has always been destined for greater things, even when all she had was her name.

Summary
Nefer thinks she’s going to be sick. She grips the report in her hand so tightly that her fingers tremble and draw creases in the paper, and if it isn’t important evidence she’s sure she would have ripped it apart and thrown it into the air.
How could they do this to Lauma? How could they go after the one person that stood for nothing but peace and unity?
Lauma, targeted for her blood, has just barely been rescued from the Experimental Design Bureau.
Nefer refuses to confront her feelings, Lauma refuses to make it any easier for her, and the incident brings them closer than ever before.

Her hand slides from Lauma’s wrist to her waist, then stops there.
Again, Lauma laughs. “You’ll invoice me for this.”
“Why wouldn’t I?”
Lauma fits her palm to the clean line of Nefer’s jaw, the pad of her thumb resting at the ring on her lower lip. Her mouth parts, and Lauma kisses her like she’s testing water she already knows is warm.

“Shh!” Jahoda immediately says, moving to cover Paimon’s mouth and looking around almost comically, eyes wide.

“Number one rule,” Jahoda whispers harshly. “Do not talk about boss and Lauma.”

Summary
And, oh, there it is. That damned face. That heart-wrenching expression.
Clorinde, her heart bared for Navia and her eyes shining more pathetically than anyone else in the world. She’s like a little kicked dog, looking up with the lightest of pouts and her breath held in silent question. Her eyebrows tilt up as if asking Navia for the world and Navia hates how her chest clenches at the simple recognition that this is the woman who killed her father.
It’s not fair.
It’s just not fair.

Summary
"When was the last time we did this?" Clorinde wonders aloud. "Once upon a time, we sat at this beach a lot, didn't we?"
"We did." Navia nods, all prior humor having fled in the wake of this reality—somehow, time had slipped through their fingers, like fine grains of sand, disappearing into the current of Fontaine's rising waters. "I can't even tell you how long it's been."
or, they reconvene on the beachside, and Navia thinks Clorinde resembles a dejected puppy.

Ningguang put her pipe down, interlacing her fingers together. She leaned forward with her elbows on her desk.
“I’ll get right to the point. I’d like to form a contract with you.”
A beat of silence filled the room. Unwavering eye contact was broken by a laugh.
“How bold of you, Tianquan," Beidou guffawed. "You could at least invite a girl out to dinner first.”

Summary
A harsher breath falls from her lips this time, and the fingers entangled in the woman’s locks pull away to settle on both sides of her waist, caging her treasure. “When I have you like this,” she started, and Beidou is barely aware of what words are even coming out of her mouth, her mind hazy and dull. “When I have you like this, I feel… right. Like my hands are in their right place, like I am simply something created to reflect your beauty. Like the ocean does for the moon.”
Ningguang rumbled a low laugh against her chest, and Beidou held back the desire to ravish her on the spot.
“Is the moon not thankful for the tides, which gives its pull a purpose?"
—
Captain Beidou is sent to gather a sacred ceremonial item on behalf of her one-sided love, and in turn, she gathers her feelings. Unable to let them go of her own volition, Ningguang steps in - in which Beidou confronts her emotions in a more intimate way than she expected.
