To Starlit Reflections.

      This is an Alternate Universe retelling of 'Fushigi Yuugi'.
      As I said on my old FY page, everyone has an opinion of the way the story should have gone, and the options that Watase-sensei should have followed - and I am no exception.

      Please enjoy!

      Yes, I know it's been a very long time!  Forgive me, please?
      Chapter Fifteen has been uploaded.  Please enjoy!

      I'm very proud and honoured to say that, in the A~Ano Fushigi Yuugi Fanfic Awards of 2000/2001, "Starlit Reflections" was awarded first place in the category of 'Best Overall Fanfic'.

          Notes on Starlit Reflections
         For the little things that need a bit of explaining.

      The World of the Four Gods

      ... because it's always easier if you know where the characters are...

      Do not take this map without permission!
      It was originally scanned by Felicia, Tomo no Miko, from her copy of the second Fushigi Yuugi artbook, and remains her property.

      Starlit Reflections: Dark Quarter

      This short series is completed!
      One of the most intriguing things about the World of the Four Gods is that Miaka is not the first person from our world to visit it.  There have been two other girls in her position before her, whose stories have, for the main part, remained untold.
      That is... until now.

      Starlit Reflections: The Sidestories

      These are the sidestories. You don't have to read them to enjoy the main story, and you don't have to read the main story to enjoy them. However, reading the sidestories will clarify certain aspects of the main story.

          I Knew I Loved You
          An Autumn Afternoon
          Walking On Knives

      Rants

      I have... opinions... about things. Sometimes they'll come out in Starlit Reflections. Sometimes I'll try to explain them.
      When I do, this is where they'll be.
          So Why Are Kourin and Houki Twins, Anyway?

      Future Snippets

      These are both old stories, predating the beginning of Starlit Reflections.  I think it would be fair to say that these are the stories that started it off, as Starlit Reflections was originally intended to be the third story in this universe.  (Well, technically, it still is.)
      These stories were available before I started officially writing Starlit Reflections, so it would be a bit silly to deny them to readers, just because the main story hasn't gotten to them yet.
