That Which Lingers
Characters/Pairings: Kenshin/Kaoru, Misao/Aoshi, Saitoh/Tokio, Sanosuke, Megumi, various OCs
Warnings: A little dark, although not that dark.
Summary: Kenshin has a new enemy. One that not even death has stopped.
Comments: If you read one Rurouni Kenshin fanfic in your entire life, you should read this one. This is intriguingly plotted, well-characterized, and created a Tokio characterization that I have never been able to convince my subconscious isn’t canon. It hasn’t been updated since 2001, hasn’t seriously been worked on since 1999 or earlier, so far as I can tell, and I still have been checking it for updates every six months or so for the last five or six years. If that doesn’t tell you it’s good, what would?
Multi-chapter, incomplete.
