Chapter 16
A Man's Grief.
Mulan and Shang rode silently side by side heading towards the Fa home. Earlier they had shared an argument about the way she folded Shang's clothes. What started as a simple suggestion on Shang's part became the ultimate drama between them. Mulan had assumed the comment had a reproachful undertone, so she told Shang he should do it himself. The argument had been completely pointless, and the son of the late General Li preferred to leave her alone before he could say anyth

Without further ado, I present to you the 15TH chapter.
Twelve Full Moons
On the day of their first anniversary as husband and wife, Shang had risen earlier than the sun to prepare Mulan's gift. For weeks he had obsessed on what he should give her, for he wanted something special and meaningful that would remind her how much he loved her. So many suggested a fine piece of jewelry was the best gift, considering its value and endurance. Though she would be genuinely grateful, Shang knew she was very simple. The young general also thought of presenting her a sword, but he thought it would be more appropriate for another celebration. He need
The Prayer
Mulan lit an incense stick and gently placed it on a copper furnace. Soon its smoke twirled above. She placed the furnace in front of the nearest tombstone. The former warrior had been taught by her parents to leave an offering every time she wanted to ask their forefathers something. This time, after several weeks of grieving her loss, she decided to pray for Shang to come home soon.
Mulan rose her eyes for a moment, studying her surroundings. The tombstones were made of fine marble and some even embroided with gold, within each of them the characters for honor, courage, leadership, and devotion were engraved. Unlike her own

Trial, Torture, and Tears
Shang stood before the governor's consul and other members of his court. Two built-up guards were commanded to position themselves next to the young general aiming their swords at him, though he made no attempt to escape. His gaze was stern, and his poise was firm. There was nothing for him to hide after all, except of course, the woman who had visited his chambers. He had not done anything, but he knew how fast gossip spread, and he feared an altered version of the events would reach Mulan's ears and she would believe it. His thoughts drifted off to her, and how deeply sorry he was for their last fight. Perhaps if

As a request from Peppermint Ice Cream, here goes the quicky recap...or summary. (You may skip it if you wish).
Part 1:

She said she would think about it, but she accepts. Before they start to plan their wedding they are sent to defend the Great Wall and Shang realizes how much he fears to lose Mulan. He risks his life to protect her. Then he also realizes how much suffering he would put Mulan through if he marries her, since being married to a military man is
I find myself in the need to justify what I have been doing lately. I have been writing Mulan fanfiction for twelve years, and uploading them for ten years, and I think it's eight years on fanfiction.net.
Something that's been really disturbing my mind lately are some reviews at fanfiction.net stating Mulan and Shang are going out of character in my stories. I admit some things I write are definitely out of limits for a Disney movie. However, no harm is intended, the way I see it, it's just a story could happen or not... I leave it to the readers' criteria. Believe me I know Mulan and Shang better than I know the palm of my hand.(LITERALLY)
According to the Chinese Horoscope...this is the year of the Tiger =), which means it's gonna be my year =)
And I was actually going back in time...last time it was the year of the Tiger...which is exactly twelve years ago... 1998 ...the year when Mulan was realeased...it was such a good year for me so hopefully this 2010 will be good, at least better than the previous ones
I need better luck on love LMAO.
Anyways, I'm gonna share my new years resolutions, which I hope I can fulfill.
1) Read at least 10 books this year
2) Upload at least one new chapter on my Mulan fic at least once a month.
3) Finish all the videos I have planned
4) H
