Title: There Flying Was the Seabird
Prompt: Wingfic
Rating: Teen
Tags: Getting together, wingfic, non consensual body modifications (wings), Safe for Newbies/Nick (I think?), No sex, canon typical violence
Summary: Three stones exist in this world: the Sun Stone, protected by Empress Amaterasu, and her guardsmen of Nihon. The Moon Stone, under the ocean in the care of Yuuko, the Sea Witch. And the third, the Star Stone, was stolen, and it is Sakura’s greatest wish to return it to her family.

Meanwhile, a guard named Kurogane drinks with a sailor named Fai when he’s in town. Kurogane thought Fai was an idiot, and far too exuberant. He also thought he was beautiful, but then Kurogane was not one to pine.

Notes: The main idea of the story is taken from the Silmarillion, and the story of Eärendil, and Elwing. The title is a jumbled quote from the Song of Eärendil

The trades and prices were all really intricately thought out, and I loved the symmetry of it all.

I did think for wing fic I expected a little more time focusing on the wings as souls or something like that, but didn't really need it to enjoy the work.

Perfectly sea-like and still a rad fic!

I wasn't totally sure that the wings were a major part of the story but otherwise I really enjoyed reading this. Gently in love kurogane was a breath of fresh air lol. It was also clever how you had Yuuko determine prices and how they ended up helping each other.

I really loved this story! Everyone felt in-character and the relationship flowed naturally, not forced to move too fast to be something it wasn't yet. You really get the feeling that everyone here has a future, but don't feel cheated out of seeing it or anything. There's a really nice feel to the story as well that I can't put my finger on.

Agree on those prices—so well thought out! However did you do that...?

In all seriousness though, this is a very good story that I enjoyed very much and it inspired me to pick back up stories I'd dropped that made me feel the same way, so thank you for sharing.

As for scoring, I will be impartial here!
