Let's Five! 2013 Edition

[verys]

It's May 5th, which can mean only one thing... Cinco de Mayo? Pfft! Children's Day? Bah! Happy HikaGo Day, everyone!

Suggested by Hotta Yumi herself and first executed by Aja, HikaGo Day is an opportunity for us to roll around in our feels and remember why we love this series so much.

Five HikaGo events that occurred on or around May 5th:

1. In 1829, Kuwabara Torajirou (Hon'inbou Shuusaku) was born (according to the old lunar calendar that was in use during his lifetime)
2. In 1999, it was about this time that Akari caught Mitani drawing in the correct answer to the tsumego on the Haze go club's recruitment poster
3. In 2000, Hikaru had just been promoted to 16th in insei group 1, barely in time to participate in the Wakajishi tournament
4. In 2001, Sai disappeared and Hikaru began his quest to find him again
5. In 2002, Hikaru and the rest of Team Japan faced Ko Yeongha and the rest of Team Korea in the Hokuto Cup

Five ways you can celebrate Hikaru no Go:

1. Sign up to participate in the epic manga reread that will be going on all through the year!
2. Pop in a DVD or pull out your fansubs and rewatch the anime!
3. Leave a prompt or a fill on the current kinkmeme!
4. Come hang out in the community chatroom!
5. Join in with your own set of five below!

Hello, hello! Below the cuts, you will find drabbles galore from our first only? Hikago Drabble Exchange! They'd have been up sooner, but after the ER yesterday morning and all of the painkillers I am currently hopped up on, I needed the sleep. Sorry!

Without further ado, let the drabbles commence! ♥

For Hikago Day 2013. 

Fic

[tuulentupa]

Title: Tree of the Dead
Characters: Hikaru & Sai
Summary: "They say this tree stands between this world and the next, that sometimes you can hear a lovely bird singing on its branches and on such a night you might be able to meet the dead..."
It is May 5th, and Hikaru finds himself in Kyoto. He would rather not be there, but in the end it might be just the right place for him this night. (General, no warnings)

Here on my writing journal. Also on ff.net and on AO3, but I'm way too tired to get the links right now. I hope there are no big typos or anything in the fic, but I wanted to get it posted today... will proofread it one more time tomorrow when I'm not as brainded as right now. >_>

Happy Hikago Day!
