Perhaps I have too much time on my hands

... I can't believe how fast this is going. WTH. XD; (Not that I'm complaining, mind you.)

Throwing this up here for coldbloodedfire. Still looking it over, though, so there may be a few minor changes as I beta it. DONE! 8D

(Also, I kind of had way too much fun writing the last scene. 8D;)

Author's note: Based loosely on Qing Dynasty China, both politically and culturally. Please forgive any mistakes I've made (some purposefully for artistic license's sake, other's completely unintentionally). Dedicated to catacombkid who wanted an Ohno-with-a-harem fic and got me started writing this beast. ♥
