Rating/Warnings: G.
Characters: Ikoma, Mumei, Takumi, others looking on.
Setting: At the end of the series, as the Kotetsujo is escaping from Kongokaku.
Summary: After Kongokaku, Ikoma wakes to more than one welcome surprise.

Notes: This fic was written (quite hurriedly) for the prompt of “Healing” at fan_flashworks—although I’ve wanted to write some version of this altered scene for a long time before now. It’s basically just a “how it should have ended” for the KotIF series, correcting the incredibly hurtful and needless narrative decisions that were inflicted upon Ikoma. As will probably be obvious if you’ve read my other KotIF stories, this has always been the preferred conclusion in my own headcanon. *g*

( Honestly, it was all rather ridiculous. )

Characters: Ensemble.
Setting: General.
Summary: The passengers of the Kotetsujo observe the Obon holiday.
Disclaimer: They belong to Kabaneri Committee and other relevant parties. I’m just playing with them.
Notes: Considering how much loss they’ve experienced due to the Kabane, a holiday honoring the spirits of departed loved ones has to be especially poignant to the people of Hinomoto. I wanted to examine that, as well as how its customs might be altered out of necessity for those who cannot return to their homes.
This fic was submitted for the prompt of “Family, Community, and Culture” at genprompt_bingo.

( The bamboo forest was beautiful, a maze of tranquil green stalks whose very appearance made the thick summer heat seem cooler. )

( Despite the brave front Ayame put up, it took all the nerve she had left to face down the surviving Chiefs. )
