The Art of Not Killing
Characters/Pairings: Kenshin
Warnings: None
Summary: After the Bakumatsu, Kenshin learns a new style of fighting.
Comments: Oddly enough, it had never really occured to me that Kenshin would need to practice not killing after the Bakumatsu. Except I’ve more than once noticed that even with the dull blade, Kenshin could easily have killed someone during a fight, if he’d used too much strength in a move. So it kind of made me realize something that I hadn’t fully realized before. And I don’t see enough really well-done fics between the Bakumatsu and the main part of the series.
