Dojo Hard Part 20 - Conclusion!

It has taken nearly two years but, at long last, ‘Dojo Hard’ is complete. It was inspired by a discussion on rahirah’s journal about Canon, fanon, and the mutability of character. rahirah said I tend to think of canon-based AUs as something different from ‘All the characters are ninjas in 17th-century Japan’ fics. shadowscast mentioned my AU parodies and commented that she saw potential for a fun story along those lines. I decided that a ‘ninjas in 17th-century Japan’ fic is exactly what I would write. At first it was just a 250-word drabble but, as they do, the tale grew in the telling.

Those who don’t read WIPs can read it safely now. Those who have been reading it may well need a refresher – see link to previous chapters below. It’s Spuffy, and also features a strong contender for the strangest ever het pairing – and I speak as someone who has written Joyce/Olaf and Wesley/Glory! All-human (or nearly all!) but there are demons. Gilbert and Sullivan operetta meets Samurai movies, hentai, bad haiku, and blithe disregard for historical reality. Loosely – very loosely – based on BtVS Season 2. Definitely not to be taken seriously but there is character death.

Exactly 3,000 words, rating R. Banner by spikeshunny. Previous chapters are HERE.
