Fics like The Legend of Ashitaka

What is says on the tin--a novelization of all of Ashitaka's scenes from Princess Mononoke/Mononoke-hime --- “Sometimes I think the gods are laughing at us.” Ashitaka didn’t flinch. He knew he had been a figure of hope for many of his people. Children born with a connection to the spirits like him were growing rare, and he had been trained and educated all his life to become a future chieftain. It might be another ten or twenty years before another would rise up to take his place. Their people, the Emishi, had been nearly wiped out 500 years ago by the Emperor. Those that survived fled east, and they had protected themselves through their isolation. This had given rise to the banishment ritual. Ashitaka would never speak of his home, family, or friends to any outsider for the rest of his life. And he would never return. It was the will of the gods. They may laugh as much as they like—they would be laughing at themselves.
