Fics like I wanted to see the world (then I flew over the ocean)

The first time Akemi sees Mizu—glimpsed between panes of lacquered palanquin wood, as her gaze turned inevitably to the only person not kneeling, to that man, awkward and gangly and stiff, standing when everyone else bowed, with those eyes nearly hidden by an unflattering broad hat and ridiculous orange spectacles—the first time she sees her, she hates her. Their eyes meet. There's snow falling outside, dusting the offensively broad hat's rim. They pass. Akemi's heart skips in tiny outrage. × The first time Mizu sees Akemi, it's on that bridge in Kyoto, prim and pretty and painted as a portrait, and she thinks that the fine, decorative gold things in her hair look difficult to make. The kind of difficult to make that tells of someone else's hard work and a thousand, thousand kitchen knives. The princess is beautiful, she thinks. 或 / or: Mizu steps (staggers) in when Akemi's father sends men to bring her back, in the aftermath of the brothel bloodbath. It's only the newest in a line of questionable choices, because it seems that as of late, for whatever reason, she can't stop accidentally collecting people.
