It's hard to part the opposite ways when there are so many idiots out there pushing them to look at each other !
The sane and wholesome story of a break-up and how it doesn’t mean the end, rather the start of open communication, to the consolidation of a love that only waited this opportunity to strengthen durably.
Classic GinHiji antics, where their honesty and care towards each other makes the reading so refreshing regarding the context. Yes, this is a fic true to them, to what they are indeed.

Summary
Life goes on as usual. (Not) paying the rent late, going to a pachinko parlor and eating strawberry parfaits are a part of Gintoki's daily routine. But as of late, a new habit wormed its way in his peaceful everyday life. He wakes up every night in a cold sweat gasping for air. After waiting with bated breath, he hears the sounds of Kagura and Sadaharu's breathing coming from the closet. 'They're here.' No longer able to sleep, he throws off his covers, gets dressed and picks up his bokuto.
The spring night is cold and his breath clouds the air before him. He stands in a pristine meadow, almost in a daze.
And underneath the moonlight, he starts a fervent sword dance.
Set after Gintama: The Very Final.

Bookmarker's Notes
What is it, if not one of the most beautiful pieces of fanfiction ever created ?
I have been moved to my very core in a way no other works ever did.
Words couldn’t even begin to describe the elation I've been feeling since the very start of my reading. This is why, why I've decided to go and search through the tag of this ship systematically. It was to find works of such, such a magnitude that the memory of it could never be erased from my very core. It was to find this one.

I believe this fic is quite great in what it aims to be, and that makes it a very novel and enjoyable read for the fandom !
The obvious themes and their - fortunately - seamless incorporation within the Gintamaverse aside, I especially enjoyed Hijikata's journey to acknowledge a lot of things about himself and the world around him, in synergy with the feelings he has been harbouring for so, so long.
Gintoki is, once again, exactly the icon he thinks he is and that we all love. As always, no matter what the circumstances are, his peculiar brand of freedom feels very liberating.
It is definitely a modern fic that felt anchored to reality, and I wouldn’t have appreciated it so much if the choice had been to go over the top and neglect canon coherence and fidelity both to Gin and Hiji's characters for the 'queer plot' 's sake, which is not the case here, as the fic succeeds well in this area.
Overall, it was a really fun drive ! The flirting and the tension, the gazes and the touches, the longing and the angst will rend you crazy !

Bookmarker's Notes
Now, that's a gem.
A take of their story starting with the what-if of their encounter back in Bushuu, then of theirs ten years later. As the retelling goes, it includes natural woving of new elements, regarding the plot and their complicated relationship, that are always so interesting to discover and reread over. It delves deeper and deeper into darker themes, and we find ourselves witnessing some really striking introspections.
The writing is of exceptional quality !! Overall, I would say the main strength of this fic, among many, many others, is the sheer maturity coming with the handling of the matters at hand. A special attention has been given to the handling of war and violence trauma in a very novel way for Gintama, and it is flawless. The Hijikata portrayed here depicts one of the truly best narrative perspectives we've ever had of and from this character. We get to focus on some unexplored aspects of his, and once again, it is masterfully done.
I'll definitely wait for new chapters to come !! It is all worth it !

Summary
It's not when the sun sets or the moon dips that he worries for Hijikata, it's when the stars in his eyes fall to pieces and there's barely anything left of the man he's come to know. Somehow it's easier to open up to people who reflect you, but Gintoki thinks Hijikata is so much better and the fact of the matter is, Hijikata thinks Gintoki is better too.

Bookmarker's Notes
A journey to healing after, one day, simply breaking down from all the things life has imposed on Hijikata. Depicting so well just how the fall of this demon of a man shatters the world of those around him.
How unique of a story it was. The physical intimacy that comes as soon as Hijikata's distress appears, Gintoki's body moving before thinking, as his universe comes to revolve around Hijikata too fast, too soon for him to be able to handle the rush of feelings that come with witnessing the regression of his other self, and this searing need to be closer, to be sure that he's still there, that he will be there for Hijikata for as long as needed in order for him to come back to life.
Very well-paced and thoughtfully written, with an especially interesting kind of angst. But this journey has an end, and eventually, it turns out to be a peaceful one.
