Why this must be read:

This is Hiro's search for his sword, written for

yuletide. Hiro's voice in this is fantastic. He's just as idealistic as he ever was, but now he's also tempered by his six months away and losing Charlie. Hiro and Ando's interactions are lovely and adorable. God, I love those two.

You could find anything in New York. The whole world was there, or rather, bits of the whole world. There were people from everywhere on the globe, people who knew everything the human race had ever learned. And if you couldn’t buy it in New York, it probably didn’t exist.

So Hiro dragged Ando into a cab and gave the driver the address of the store. “I have to find that sword!” he insisted to Ando, who sighed and got in.

The store, when they got there, turned out to be full of not only swords of all sorts, but also shuriken and shields reproduced from various historical periods and all kinds of other things. Hiro looked around, marveling, smiling in wonder, his eyes wide. It was the first time he had felt like himself since Charlie.
