Flying Fish

Genre: M/M; Historical; Samurai; Yaoi Length: Novella
In eighteenth century Japan, during the golden age of samurai and of the Kabuki theater, young actors known as "flying fish" traveled the countryside, performing for audiences by day and giving their bodies to their samurai patrons at night.

Genji Sakura is one such flying fish, yet he dreams of the day he'll find the man he can give his heart to and leave the loneliness of his itinerant life behind. Though he loves theater, he doesn't love every part of his profession, especially some of the patrons. So when a handsome ronin, or masterless samurai, comes upon him stealing some solitude for a bath in a hot spring and their encounter turns passionate and profoundly erotic, Genji's surprised and delighted.

Daisuke Minamoto's past fills his life with a bitterness that grips his soul and makes him dangerous. Yet his passion takes him when he spies on a graceful young man bathing naked in a hot spring. He has always loved women but he can't deny the call of his heart and his determination to win Genji's heart takes over. However, when his insistence costs Genji his career, Daisuke must make a choice: follow his original path of vengeance, or take responsibility for the young man who is now homeless, peniless and furious at him. The very thing Daisuke wanted seems completely out of his grasp. Or is it?
