A ''VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}}'' fanfiction, written by @/DarkPulse.

* Synopsis:
->''A year after the events of Tsukihime, 17 year-old Tohno Akiha is still living life the way she always has - a student by day, and master of Misaki City by night. Even with all of the events that occurred last year, her life has, for the most part, remained steady and consistent. But, can she remain this way forever...? Re-Rated M for Graphic Violence/Sex. WARNING: CONTAINS GRAPHIC DEPICTIONS OF SEX, VIOLENCE, AND PHILOSOPHY. Updated every Sunday.''

A long story of 75 chapters and an epilogue. Not one for the faint of heart, and not one for you to read if you haven't beaten Tsukihime in its entirety. Seeing the anime doesn't count for this, as it follows a path that the anime doesn't cover, and mashes them up a little. [[AllJustADream Plus it doesn't exist anyway...]]

If you're looking to read it, [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6029686/1/Of_Leaves_and_Lilac it's all right here]]. Heed the warning preface, as this story outright assumes you have complete knowledge of the game's five paths, and all their endings.

!!Featured Tropes:
* BerserkButton: Do not try to make light of [[spoiler: Seo Akira's [[SelfFulfillingProphecy power]]]] or she will cram a slice of HumblePie down your throat, tin and all.
* BreakTheHaughty: Happens to [[spoiler: Akiha]] when [[spoiler: Seo]] gets annoyed after being manipulated, lied to, and pushed around, all because [[spoiler: Akiha]] overreacted to [[spoiler: one of Seo's doujins]]:
-->"Well, my interest and curiosity got the best of me..." My voice comes out even weaker than before.

-->"Yeah, some excuse," she says, not accepting it. "You can believe that if you want, but the fact is you didn't trust me, and then even AFTER you read it... you lied. You lied so that I wouldn't know, couldn't explain, and so you could corner me. Do you know how... incredibly rude that is?ǃ?"

-->A very nasty glare. A look on her face that she wants to kill. Or at the very least, punch me, and it is taking her all of her willpower to restrain from doing so.
* BrotherSisterIncest: What one of Shiki's admissions and Akiha seeing [[spoiler: his wet dream involving her and Kohaku]] seem to be leading up to. [[spoiler: as of Chapters 42-44, this may have occurred]]
* CoverBlowingSuperpower: The superhuman abilities Akiha can access by tapping into her [[{{SuperpoweredEvilSide}} demonic half]], which may not be so secret after [[spoiler: the events of Chapter 39, when she has to unleash her Crimson Red Vermilion form to free Seo from being trapped by debris]].
* DeadpanSnarker: Tsukihime Souka.
* TheDitz: Misawa Hanei.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: While Akiha still wishes that Shiki had pursued romance with her instead of with Kohaku, she nevertheless maintains a supportive relationship with both her adoptive brother and his lover.
* DoubleMeaningTitle: "Of Leaves and Lilac" has several meanings, several of which draw from the Victorian Language of Flowers. The most obvious refers to autumn leaves and a spring blossom (referencing the theme of Akiha's transformation), another to "Akiha" and "Feelings of First Love" (resolving issues with Shiki), and a third [[spoiler: perhaps hinting at the much-teased possibility of a relationship between Akiha and a lilac-haired kouhai, since lilacs as a whole signify "youthful innocence" and "first love."]]
* EroticDream: Akiha is given the chance to view one of [[spoiler: Shiki's]] erotic dreams, [[spoiler: one provided to him by Len following the defeat of Nrvnqsr Chaos involving Akiha and Kohaku]].
* {{Fainting}}: During a trip to the amusement park, [[spoiler: Seo loses consciousness-twice-after being surprised by Akiha's uncharacteristically fun, casual side.]]
** Embarrassingly, Akiha [[spoiler:faints after losing focus and hitting her head in a school bathroom.]]
* FirstKiss: Akiha gets hers from [[spoiler: Souka]], with [[PostKissCatatonia predictable results]].
-->And her lips press against mine.
-->My mind goes blank. Numb. Just like before.
-->I am... unused to this situation...
-->Especially... from a girl...
-->......Especially from [[spoiler: Tsukihime Souka.]]
-->My mind is so confused that I can't even react, really.
-->............Why her?
-->I could see a few other people having an interest in me, but... her...? Why...?
-->...Why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why......?ǃ
-->Why her, and why me, and why this sort of relationship... why would she want it, with me of all people...?

* NightmareSequence: [[spoiler: Chapter 11, as Akiha dreams of Tohno SHIKI, and it's only going to get worse, as the spirit of Roa rears its ugly head.]]
** [[spoiler: Now in Chapter 24, we have Akiha dreaming what it would be like if she had fully inverted.]]
