No longer rurouni, travel merely made him eager to return to

Genre: Romance
Pairings: Kenshin/Kaoru, Aoshi/Misao
Status: Complete
Spoilers: None
Summary:
"People don't love each other because of what they've done.
Or at least we shouldn't. We love each other for lots of little reasons --
the little things that make us who we are, and for sentimental reasons that
make no sense to anyone else."
Notes:
Very sweet and amusing
little piece. I really liked the Kaoru-Misao interaction, and the
comparisons between Kenshin and Aoshi. Very nice. ^^

Author: Aishuu
Genre: Drama
Pairings: Kenshin/Kaoru
Status: Complete

They've been married for nearly five years, but Kaoru still
knows there's mysteries buried in Kenshin's past.

Beautiful post-manga fic; the author's got a great handle on
the both of them, and this just feels right. <3

Title:
Recovery
Author: Haku Baikou
Genre: Drama
Pairings: One sided Megumi/Kenshin, mild Kenshin/Tomoe, mild
Kenshin/Kaoru, could-be Sanosuke/Megumi (All largely on level with
canon)
Status: Complete
Spoilers: For the Kyoto arc
Summary:
As Kenshin recovers from his wounds after his duel with Shishio, his friends
sense a threat and take precautions for his safety.
Notes:
Oh, wow...a good, long, Megumi centric fic.
This is so nice. And it's really neat...Megumi's the
protagonist, but there's still typical RK-type plot going on; like, the only
difference is that she's actually there, and it's from her perspective.
Lovely. Also? Loving the interaction between Megumi and the
other characters...Sano and Hiko, especially. (Megumi+Hiko
friendship...who would have thought?)

Pairings: Mild Kenshin/Kaoru, but mostly gen
Status: WIP
Spoilers: For the Jinchuu arc
Summary:
Enishi’s been defeated, life is peaceful, and finally Kenshin can begin his
new life as a settled man. At least, that’s the theory. In reality, he’s
finding that starting this new life is more difficult than he expected.
Notes:
Ooooh, post-Jinchuu arc fic. This is such an
interesting idea, too. Kenshin finally settles down...but what happens
next? How does he cope with settling into a normal life? I'm
hoping that this one updates again soon!
