Why this must be read:
First person is a popular point of view in YnM fanfic, but in this reviewer's opinion can be difficult to write well (OOC-ness, if present, becomes even more glaring when in FPPOV). Maya is an author who is successful at this method of storytelling. This short mood piece, told through Hisoka's POV, is haunting and lovely. It explores the concepts of destiny and choice, and whether Hisoka, Muraki and Tsuzuki could ever have been anything but inescapably intertwined. The story flows gracefully along and is easy to fit into the YnM universe and style.
Somewhere in this garden of forking paths, I walk under the cherry trees, and everything comes down to that single moment when I step out into the moonlight and see you there. The knife rises and comes down. The woman jerks in your arms, hair a bright darkness in the moonlight, and the blood flows. You turn and look at me. I stand there, clasping my yukata to me stupidly, and the clock ticks done, sealed, set, paid, lost. And everything after that is a coda to the piece; those few quick steps, the clutch, the fall, the silence all around us singing so loudly in my ears, the bruised cherry petals cold beneath my cheek, and my death already in me.
Read everything Maya has on her website, especially The Awful Truth (parody) and Nor Are We Out of It (multi-chapter, plotted, suspenseful and exciting).
