Saiunkoku recs

AO3 keeps erroring out, so no Yuletide recs as yet. However, I have a brand-new love, The Story of Saiunkoku because I am weak against practical heroines and intense sibling devotion, which means I am now two fandoms behind on feedback instead of one. From this year's holiday exchange:

For this year's Saiunkoku holiday exchange, [anon] wrote me three vignettes about the families Seiran makes and/or finds over the course of his life. Right now, the one with Ensei is my favorite, because I cannot resist Seiran being grumpy or Ensei throwing pebbles rocks, but it's hard to pick.

In which: Ryuuki, Shuuei, and Kouyuu are members of a viskei band, and Ensei and Seiran are their bodyguards.
Privately I think of this as taking place in the same universe as grey_damaskena's Gravitation AU. Ryuuki is a dork, Seiran is put-upon, Kouyou is grumpy, and Shuei wears ripped jeans. Okay, my favorite visual is actual Ryuuki in a plum frock coat with piercings all along one ear, but that may be because I am so sad he only wears earrings in one illustration in the novels, which appears to have been ret-conned out of existence.

Wonderful sensual detail.

For once, Kouyou actually finds his way home.
