Summary
While the story Twelfth Night chronicled the times that Hijikata literally spent the night with Chizuru, a couple of readers noted that although the description of the twelfth night clearly implies that Hijikata and Chizuru spent the night together as lovers (in modern usage of the term), the moments directly relating to their first time together were omitted. This was done in order to (a) finish the story on time for a Christmas fanwork exchange, and (b) keep the story rated T.
The story below is the "missing piece" of the longer story Twelfth Night. As with the original, it is written primarily from Hijikata's point of view.
This story is dedicated to Alley-Cat-Sunflower ( shenanigumi on tumblr), as a belated birthday present: I told you that I would write this eventually!

Summary
The world knows much of Kazama Chikage. He is a ruthless, arrogant creature, whose power is rivaled by few. But before the battle-lines of the Bakumatsu had been drawn, he was already a warrior who held the destiny of his family on his shoulders. What led him to such a path, and what caused him to walk it willingly? Prequel to The Quest: 薄桜鬼追迹录 Hakuouki Tsuisekiroku.

Summary
The mission on the resort moon of Spira was supposed to be a clinical extraction. Step one: Infiltrate the Azure Heights gala. Step two: Lift the code-cylinder from Grand Vizier Oridant. Step three: Leave before the truce between the Resistance and the First Order crumbles.
But when a security sweep traps them in a narrow, dead-end corridor, Rey makes a split-second tactical decision to hide their identities the only way she can think of: a distraction.
It’s meant to be a performance. A ruse. Ten minutes of "looking busy" to avoid a firing squad. But the Force Dyad doesn't know how to lie, and Ben Solo is a very, very convincing actor. By the time the guards move on, the mission is the last thing on their minds, and the air between them has become an unbearable, electric cage of their own making.

Summary
Rey’s mom is having a flu and asks if they could exchange place of sleep.
It’s just one night of sleeping in the same bed as her dad. Maybe it will be fine.
(Ben could use a little warning.)

Summary
Surprise! I am back after like two years and writing for a fandom I have quite literally never made a peep in 😎 I am so chill and nonchalant for this. Anyway!
What if Ben and Rey were never interrupted in the hut on Anch-To? What led to Rey confinding in her mortal enemy, Kylo Ren? How will this connection affect them on opposite sides of the war?
I've always felt that though Reylo has SO much potential, they were never utilized to the fullest. I love them so bad and I just want justice.

He turns, and she's already there, just as he'd suspected. Upon first look, something in her face isn't quite right as she stares at him, wordless and stiff, clutching at the wraps around her arms like some sort of self-hug. Her hair clings to her cheeks in dark tendrils. Her skin has a damp shine to it. No words pass between them, the air thick with silence and the flicker of a firelight.She’s not searing him with violent, angry eyes as she typically would. She wasn't expecting him, possibly didn't even feel it happen beforehand, though her shock was clearly overpowered by whatever had come before him.
Something happened.
