Normally I'm an OTP kind of girl, but the main characters of Samurai Champloo are so awesome that I love pretty much any possible permutation of our trio. As a result, you'll be getting a mix of het, slash, and threesome fic this month, with ratings from G to NC-17. Heck, I might even toss in a little gen (as much as anything can be gen in a Samurai Champloo fic:)

Why this must be read: "As Lovers Go" is a beautiful Jin/Fuu romance that develops over time, allowing Jin to loosen up a little and Fuu to grow up a lot and, just as important, acknowledges the huge and continuing impact that Mugen has on both of their lives. It starts as the boys are healing during the end of the series and continues on for several years after as Fuu settles down and Mugen and Jin visit her. It's a quiet story and takes a couple of parts to draw you in, but once you're hooked the story weaves a lovely, elegant world of love and promises and honesty. A lush, gorgeous story.
