Title: Winter Scenes
Author: jordannamorgan
Archive Rights: Please request the author’s consent.
Rating/Warnings: Mild PG for blood.
Characters: Ensemble, with emphasis on Ikoma.
Setting: General.
Summary: A new year approaches for those aboard the Kotetsujo.
Disclaimer: They belong to Kabaneri Committee and other relevant parties. I’m just playing with them.
Notes: A set of eight triple drabbles about the coming of winter and the New Year holiday, written for newyearcntdown. The title of each segment is the word prompt it was based on. (Also for the prompt of “Festivals of the Quarter” at genprompt_bingo, and the “Fight” installment was submitted for the prompt of “Spark” at fan_flashworks.)

Title: An Ounce of Prevention
Author: jordannamorganArchive Rights: Please request the author’s consent.
Rating/Warnings: Mild PG for talk of zombie threats.
Characters: Sukari, Kajika, Kurusu, Kibito.
Setting: Probably sometime before episode five.
Summary: Soap can be as noble a weapon as a sword.
Disclaimer: They belong to Kabaneri Committee and other relevant parties. I’m just playing with them.
Notes: Written for the prompts of “Washing” at fan_flashworks, “Underestimate” at smallfandomflsh, and “Co-Workers” at genprompt_bingo. This was inspired by the scene where Kajika reproves Kurusu for his dirty hands, but I’ve developed her motivation beyond merely preserving civilized manners, because… well, the practical reasons should be extremely obvious. (Also, a reader wanted to see more of the potential dynamics between the different social groups on the Kotetsujo. I very much agree, so here is my take on bushi-steamsmith relations.)

( It was as predictable as the sunrise. )

Title: Mythology
Author: jordannamorgan
Archive Rights: Please request the author’s consent.
Rating/Warnings: Mild PG for talk of monsters and blood drinking.
Characters: The entire Kotetsujo ensemble, but particularly Ikoma and Suzuki.
Setting: Following the events of episode six.
Summary: Suzuki recounts tales of the undead from other lands.
Disclaimer: They belong to Kabaneri Committee and other relevant parties. I’m just playing with them.
Notes: An unabashed monster-mythology geekout session, written for the prompts of “Lore” at fan_flashworks and “Foreign Lands” at genprompt_bingo.

( Evenings were the best times aboard the Kotetsujo. )
