Summary: Gojyo's been feeling kinda off for a couple days or so. Turns out it's not the flu.


It starts like this:

"Gojyo," Hakkai says. "How are you feeling?"


All feedback - positive and negative - is very welcome!

Gah. I've managed to misplace an excellent Saiyuki story that I wanted to recommend to solo____   - and I'm having a complete blackout concerning its title and author. Maybe one of you knows the story I mean and can point me in the right direction?

It was a very, very well-written, dark short story that's told in reverse, starting out with Sanzo shooting someone and going back in time in several steps to show how and why this event occured.


ETA: Yay, found it! cicer recognized the description, even though it turns out I'd twisted things around a bit in my mind.

The story I was looking for is "Down, Down, My Friends; We're Going Home" by harukami. If you like Saiyuki and haven't read this story yet - and if you don't mind a bit of darkness - it's definitely a story not to be missed! It's simply amazing.

Several of you have already seen this - but I thought I'd post it anyway. :-) As always, feedback of all kinds (positive and negative) is very welcome!


Distant Relations

"Well, well," the water-imp said, a distinct hint of condescension in his tone. "What a surprise."

He didn't look much like Jien, or Gojyo's mother for that matter, but there was definitely some sort of resemblance around the eyes and brow.

( That wasn't anywhere near being the weirdest thing, though.  )

...you distinctly hear your co-worker earnestly assure you that he will return in a moment with two large kappas.

I'm sorry to say that he did not make good on this promise.

A Role Reversal Saiyuki Drabble, as an answer to a challenge on 100_roadtrips. *g* 100 words exactly.



“So we have to go left because *you* say so?” snarls Hakkai. “As if anyone who knew you would believe that divine guidance crap anyway, you know-it-all, not-so-fucking-holy man!”

“Don’t call me that.” Sanzo’s voice is low with threat. “Don’t you *dare* call me that, you one-eyed freak.”

“What did you call me, you corrupt monk?”

Goku’s golden eyes are wide with horror, and the crumbled meat-bun he stole from Gojyo hangs still in mid-air, forgotten half-way to his mouth.

“You take Sanzo”, murmurs Gojyo out of the corner of his mouth. “I’ll take Hakkai. On three.”

Goku nods.
