literature

The best way to find the newest Enishi fanfiction is to limit your searches at Fanfiction.net and other general fanfiction websites. Most authors will specify that their fanfic has Enishi as the main character. It also helps to check the general Rurouni Kenshin listings, since there might be a few nice general fics which have Enishi in them.

At Firuze's C2 community, the stories below as well as the newer stories are compiled, so do give it a visit. A membership to the AAYE mailing list is also highly recommended, because some of the authors choose to post only there, and it's not in my power and work schedule to add them here.

What are listed here are the fanfiction considered by Firuze (some by me and the other list members) as the must-read stories about Enishi. Be warned that many contain alternate pairings and mature content. 

Highly recommended:

Canon universe

White Tiger, Jade Concubine (Midori Natari Himura) -- (E/Mi, mature content) When Misao runs from the Oni, she finds a trainer and a master in the mostly unlikely man, and a unique assignment in another country. The fanfic notorious for beginning the E/Mi genre.
