Title: Realities of War Rating: PG Prompt: #2--walk the line. Category: 100 words. Word count: 100 Summary: Yuki knows the realities of having a man on the warfront.
***
Of the women who wait for a man to return, most know the realities of war. A man who is surrounded by the bleakness of war may stray from his promises. Even at the furthest northern posts, there are women.
Yuki knows these realities and does not hold onto delusions of Nealan remaining exclusively faithful to her. She would be a fool.
When she tells Shinkokami this, the princess only says, "he may surprise you, Yuki."
When they are reunited—finally—Neal picks her up and twirls her around, and when she meets his gaze, she sees no guilt there.
This is an interesting look at something that I've never thought about - unfaithfulness at war, and it's beautiful, especially in the way that you've captured Yuki.
Oh, this is gorgeous! I love how Yuki approaches Neal's possible infidelity with a level head instead of getting emotional, and Shinko's faith is sweet
I like how Shinko comforts Yuki But also that Yuki isn't upset or angry, she just accepts what may happen. She really is a strong character and you portray that well. Good job!
@mandi: I know. Silly Neal and Yuki--I think they're trying to best Roald and Shinko with the pretty. Thanks.
@rachy: Considering the concept of "camp followers" (prostitutes who follow an army) is mentioned in canon, it can't have been unheard of. I think what Yuki was getting at was that war is bleak and depressing and ultimately, pretty lonely. (Especially during this time period).
Rowena: Yuki wouldn't throw a fit over the possibility that Neal maybe cheated on her. It is what it is, or so it came across to me when I wrote this. It doesn't mean he doesn't care for her. Thank you!
@joa: Roald and Shinko vs. Neal and Yuki--which pairing can be prettier? I think they're competing.

Kypriotha: purplepotatoblob you can also post non-event fic at any time in the Fanworks board. There should be some posting rules (i.e. for ratings) in the Fanworks board too.

Kypriotha: Lisa yeah we had to make a new one for you, because you exceeded expectations!

oskarshai: Random question but does anyone know if images with transparency show up as transparent on proboards?

Hopeless: Where can you find the ranking chart??!

Kypriotha: We haven't updated it with the new rank yet...we'll probably get around to it at some point. It's mostly correct, it's just missing the higher tier one Lisa is referring to.

Kypriotha: oskarshai, sorry no idea! I can't remember how images work on proboards, since I made my avatar in 2011 and have never changed it... I assume they do?

oskarshai: Okay I guess I'll just have to experiment and find out lol

MythicMistress: Mods, would it be okay if I created a thread devoted to both tabletop (board) games and video games? I don't want to impose...

rae: Newbie here! In the rules for Fanfic, specifically "Multi-chaptered fics should all be posted in the same thread, in as few posts as possible." What if it is a work in progress? Could it be posted chapter by chapter in the same thread?

Seek: rae It has been done that way before, with members just editing the thread title to notify when a new chapter is posted.
