The Five-Pointed Star, prelude
Author: Amber Michelle
Genre: Gen? Adventure? I don't know anymore.
Word count: 500
Rating: K
Warnings: n/a
AU/Canon: a divergence, now.
Concrit: sure, why not.
Theme: #84 - favor

Notes: I've been stuck on the next installment of Optique for a long time, and am hoping that snips of background and scenes that don't fit in the main story will jump-start my brain. This has come across as a chaptered story, but it began as oneshots for community prompts, and maybe remembering that will help me write more. The chapter length will have to stay inconsistent.

Previous installments:
1. Optique
2. The Moon-Viewing Room
3. A Second Frozen in Time

The Five-Pointed Star, part I

AU/Canon: it might be AU, now. Or a divergence, maybe?
Concrit: sure.

Previous installments
1: Optique - 2: The Moon-Viewing Room - 3: A Second Frozen in Time

Theme: originally for 'encyclopedia.'
Notes: Many liberties taken with geography, some mythology, and some history. For some reason Wikipedia didn't have every single thing I've ever wanted to know.

Am also stealing liberally from an anime called "Otogizoushi," since I can't find any reliable information on onmyoudo. :p


( A memory can't prepare her for the real thing. )

I'm still not sure if this is what I want it to do. Ironically, though I have a long backstory for this onmyouji in my head, absolutely none of that seems to be coming through right now. His part in this chapter is minor, though, so I hope that will fix itself later.

It ends here because of the way I'm dividing the story, but.. eh. It won't be posted anywhere until the installments are done.

I started this in April. Then project time struck. :P
