Okay, so me and creating fusion crossovers with The Silmarillion, of adapting and dumping my favorite characters for other stories in the Silm?
Well, as much as I wanted to I couldn’t think of how to integrate Rurouni Kenshin with a premise that sat well with me. The core of the story is a pacifistic red-haired warrior wandering after a civil war in an era that promises new peace, atoning for the violence of his past via a personal vow to no longer kill and to fully live his ideals of helping others. This warrior is accepted in by an orphan girl who fights and tries to uphold her family honor and ideals of peace and protecting others. Add to this makeshift family the brash orphan street kid who wants to learn to be strong, the tough brawler with an easy humor and a heavy resentment of the current government because of betrayed promises. The doctor who was forced to make drugs because she fell in -against her will- with a crime boss and who also wants to find her missing family and repent for her crimes. The antagonists from the other side of the war that become friends and allies. These characters I love and know so well.
And not even toying with the Exilic Noldor was pleasing me or finding a fit for a good fusion story.
But then, it hit me- they don’t work for me as inserts into The Silmarillion- but for the Third Age I can see a spot for the Kenshingumi.
Namely, the Kin-strife of Gondor.
